Thats what I see. If I rembmber they used to run on a small track. But now it sounds like they have a reg size track!!!

We were under the impression you guys ran 4 cell. I will change that to 6 cell, no problem.

BRP class changed from 4 to 6 cell 2/3A NiMh

A pic of the track wont mean much.The track changes often,I'm fairly sure the layout for this race will be a completely new layout.Something special just for this race.

Definately AM. Thought I posted that, guess not.

need to make a "box stock " class, pull it outta da box, and run it.

That's the second request for a box stock class. What type of car?

I picked up a flyer yesterday. I need to scan it into a .pdf and post it. If I remember correctly the slower class for 1/18 4wd is 4dr sedan/5cell/can't remember the motor. The track isn't too big or small now, but I haven't ran on-road there lately. I'm not against box-stock but that really limits speeds to the point off being very slow. Also, with the Micro RS4, you would have to run 4 AA's.

mini-t box stock, only battery allowed would be a 5 cell losi pack...keep it even, and fun.

The sedan class is 5 cell and a venom fireball motor- believe me, it is quick.

If we have enough requests for a stock truck class, we'll see if we can fit it in.

I found a 4dr body so I can run the Micro Sedan class. The only 2 companies that I know of that make a 4dr sedan body are:
HPI Racing:
Imprezza 140mm (http://www.hpiracing.com/products/en/7619.html)
Stratus 140mm (http://www.hpiracing.com/products/en/7606.html)

Protoform:
Stratus 3.0 140mm/150mm (http://www.prolineracing.com/protoform/micro/1484/1484.html)
Mazda6 (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGYD3&P=7)

Anyone know of any other bodies out there?

BadSign
11-30-2006, 06:30 PM
After many requests, we have changed the body rule to allow any 2 or 4 door production based body for the sedan class. Hope this helps.

That opens it up a bit :). Might have to bring out the bug body.

Thanks for the gif and link to the entry form, by the way.

Do you race oval at Slots? I don't know many LTO guys anymore. Seems like most quit after HTU closed up.

How Many Laps Are The Mini T And 18t Turning Without Jumps

Couldn't give you a number on that one. Our sedan class usually runs 25-30 laps a race, depending on track layout.

Will there be jumps for the Stadium classes? And also are you guys considering the Mini Inferno to be a mini? I know it's techically a 1:16 but I race with Lipo'd RC18's and they can really cook it on the track.

Stadium classes will have jumps. Any micro chassis is legal in this class, as they will all be open for battery and motor.

:dude: Would like to see a mini-monster class. Would LOVE to build the track. it'd be so u couldnt get a setup for it. sand pit+mud hole+car crush+ high jumps+?? OH thats only on the first lap too. and ya'd have 5 laps to do in it. THAT sounds like a FUN TRACK to me. Oh and did i mention it was on INDOOR CARPET too? And the best part.....5 at a time running.
