We may have interest in starting a "fun" beginner type oval class in the Ohio area. My thought was to put together an oval car with some spare parts I have sitting on my R/C shelf. allot of us have "spare" R/C stuff that could be put to good use!

We have 2 oval track we can race at:
Classics and Freddies.

I have a RC10L4 with an atom ESC, extra receiver, old monster motor, and used BSR tires.

If you are interested in putting together a fun class to race and not sink a ton of $$$ into...post your thoughts!!!

where are they located at??

Classics is in Akron
Freddies is in Ravenna

Both are part of the BRP points series. Many of the Hobbytown regulars have been to both tracks.

Take a look at the Spec Nastruck class that is ran at Freddies Hobbies:

If you have the above equipment your about ready to run in the Spec Nastruck class, all you would have to get is:

A Nastruck body, 4 cell Spec battery packs and, thats it!, You don't even need to buy a motor, the Hobbyshop supplies the motor w/entry fee.

That may be an option

We run one at our track. nastruck bodies, the clubs handout motor GM3, 3300 batteries max, 116 or 120 spur and 1.40 rollout.(Pros run like 1.60-1.70) any tire.
The class is great to watch because of the close racing. Hope this helps

thanks - that is what we are looking for - close racing, and limits on spending!

What about an s/k class?

what is s/k?

Micro,

Your best bet would be to run in Freddies Spec truck class. There are enough classes without starting more. Walt would probably let the class run if enough show up but you would have to have your own motor.

what is s/k?
The s/k class is a spec class. The cars have a solid chassis (no rear suspension). All of your 10l type parts will mount up to the holes... Rear pod plates, front suspension, etc...
There are many variations of rules being run throughout the country. It basically depends on your area. Check out R/K Racing Products (http://www.rollskanardly.com) for more info.
These cars can be run with either 6 or 4 cells. Some rules only allow piranha packs with sealed 540 motors... others are basically open to roar motors and batteries. The bodies are cool looking open wheeled east coast modifieds, which can be purchased from a few different places. If you need more info, you can call me anytime, (203)980-0291
Thanks, Jon Anderson

At Classic There Is A Brushless Spec Truck Class.Spec Batteries Any Tire With Novak 4300 System Only.Freddies Has The Same. It Is The Closest Racing Ive Seen.

Guys you realize we have a RTR oval pan car now don't you? It gives you everything you need to go racing in a very inexpensive yet competive way.

this may work...brushless motor - no cleaning or changing brushes :) spec batteries -- HUMMMM may have to look into this!

the spec truck class at freedies is the cheapest class you can get into.you have a pan car buy a truck body maybe two spec packs and a cheap sdeedo and your set he give's you a motor for the day! that has been the closest racin ive seen in a long time every body is on the same lead lap the hole time its all in driver and setup oh and you can run any tire combo :thumbsup:

OK - The BRP crew will be at Freddies on Dec. 17th. I think we have 3-4 people who will run the spec truck class. What packs do we need to get?

Trinity 4-cell Spec 1600's

what is a good truck body?

I dont think there has really been a diffrence @ Classic, I dont know about Freedies

the toyota body is about the best one i think anyway

You know Chris is the Spec Truck record holder :thumbsup:
Who was that other guy ? I dont even think he knows what spec truck is


Just get any cheep old pan car, throw a $ 17.99 truck body on, I have all 4 in stock. Get a cheep 4 cell street spec battery pack for $ 16.00. and any speed controller. DONE ! ! ! :freak:

I'll give you your motor when you sign up. You wont fine any closer racing yet for less money. I am going to cut my own version of the S/K car and I will have that but in time. :p

OK Freddie - I will ahve to stop by the hobby shop and pick up a toyota body and 2 packs!

We HOOKED ! ! ! another one :dude: Chris will tell you what to do to the car and done just blow it off and race it :) you will enjoy it

OK, how about a basic setup. Something general because were looking at a variety of cars. An L4, a 0700, a Pro2 and an old X-13/15. Oil's, springs, tires, camber, caster and an in the ballpark left rear weight percentage. Just something to start with so we can tune from there.

TIA

I don't know how big Freddies track is but @ Summit in Ft.Wayne,IN I run spec. Pan, spec motor,tires(any comp.)and batt. car bodies w/o the back cut out. C.W. aggressor .56 laps (140 r.l.) on Bsr tires, I run green lefts, blue rf, gold rr. if that helps anyone.
