I wanted to start a track thread for LPR since the majority of us post in the QSAC thread.

We welcome the 10th scale electric racers to join us at least one race per month...or more!! LPR was built on electric racing and is always open for the electric crowd. Yes I said crowd. There are many electric racers throughout Miss, GA, Fl, Tenn & Al that are looking for a central location. Well, LPR is that location!! So, come on guys call your buddies. Pull those racers out of the woodworks. Dust off the chassis & cycle those batteries. It is a new season and another opportunity to get you guys racing together regularly!

See you at the track.

you can count me in......i will be there with my electric car...

If you guys are interested, please PM me with your email addys &/or phone numbers. I will do my best to get everyone on the same page with race dates and classes. I will gladly create a page on our site with location 1/10 electric racing information.

Let me know.

I don't mean to sound like I have never raced electric before but what classes are being raced these days (most popular)?

to be honest i dont know either,i went to my first race in 9 years yesterday,i saw 4 cells stock,brushless and a novice class called breakout....they also ran mini's and sliders(4 wheel drive touring cars last night at the track)

4 cell stock was the class that was once popular at LPR. 19t was the other. We can accomondate any class with our track size.

Brushless/lipo. Some are running 17.5 with the lipo batts which is about like a 19t 4cell. Others are running 21.5 with the lipo's. Depends what people want to run.

i dont have lipo or brushless....so i will run stock 4 cell of some sort....i have only been back a couple of weeks and have alot to catch up...does anybody remember what color tires we ran.....

Last time I ran nitro pan I believe the tire colors had change a little like red, green, pink then blue...ect??????

Depending on the temps 4 greens or blues on the right and greens on the left. The new pink compound will work good too.

so no more silver and gold.....i need to get some blues i guess...

3 pinks and a red lr for cool temps

Pinks won't hold in the cold, Green net RF green rr and reds on the left. Pinks all around 75 deg and up3 pinks and a red lr for cool temps

Pinks won't hold in the cold, Green net RF green rr and reds on the left. Pinks all around 75 deg and uprun what you want i have ran all that were mentioned all of them will hook up with the right setup!!!!!

Depending on your speeds I am sure what works on the 1/10 gas will work for 1/10 electric. Silvers, Golds. No need for the net tires, maybe some type of spec tire. Tim I'll help if the electrics come to play.

Has anyone heard from Chip lately? He was looking to race at LPR last seaon but it never developed.

another guestion,what color springs do you run up front,i have wolfe.....also what gear ratio do i need.....

Ask Willy, he is the LPR R/C GOD! lolanother guestion,what color springs do you run up front,i have wolfe.....also what gear ratio do i need.....

Brandon or Will should be able to give you a basic setup for LPR in 1/10 scale.

Ask Willy, he is the LPR R/C GOD! loland dont you forget it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

another guestion,what color springs do you run up front,i have wolfe.....also what gear ratio do i need.....red left front,green right front,red side shock springs 30wt oil center shock 50wt and silva copper spring tires 3 pinks and a red S&L on front R&L on rear what chassie do you have?

oh yeah 9110 king pins 10k lube on those springs and dodge intreped body mounted thunder wing

gear start off with a 2.4 ratio

Tim, Chip got involved with a company selling racing radios for big cars last spring. That took up most of his weekends traveling to Birmingham and other race tracks. He still has his rc stuff, so, maybe we can get him to lpr this year.

Hey, maybe he can get us a deal on a used or new radio set for the club? We were just talking about racing radios at our meeting.

lololol, Willy, you are SHAMELESS!!and dont you forget it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lololol, Willy, you are SHAMELESS!!LOL,LOL

mwalker if you need any help just ask i can get you a good starting point in electric and may run mine or let somone else run it if we start getting a few electric back running

guys,thanks for all the help.....its been so long since i raced,i can't remember crap....my chassis are a woods and a hyperdrive......just got the hyperdrive,it looks alot like a woods chassis...

hope we can make this fun again...... ci wish there was a way to even the playing field....one of the things that ran alot of people of was running with people who were better and had more money...ii just ran in a stock class this weekend where everybody ran the same gear ratio and it was fun.....things were simple and big dollar guys seem to want to run brushless anyway......it was'nt the money that ran me from the hobby years ago,it was always being dominated by drivers who were years better than me....kind of suxs to always be 3 laps down.....oh well,i digress...

work smarter not harder! Don't keep getting beat by the fast guys, ask questions, watch what they do, there is a reason they are fast. Most of all, PRACTICE! Get to the track early and leave late, this hobby is work to some degree but the rewards of hard work makes it all worth while. Getting a podium finish, because you earned it is way better than buying it. I know I have done it both ways.

Marshall.. Maybe we can get some electric guys down on April 26th. That's the first weekend I'll have free to make it down. Maybe we can get Gilly to blow the dust off his baby car!

that sounds good todd,i am going down on there first race in march,hope somebodyelse besides me show...

If you guys together can decide the class(s) & the org rules you would like to run under and I'll get that information on our site.

i would love to run in a limited class to cut down the cost,but i will run in others if need be....all i have now is stock,no brushless or lipo...

Marshall.. Maybe we can get some electric guys down on April 26th. That's the first weekend I'll have free to make it down. Maybe we can get Gilly to blow the dust off his baby car!waiting on you todd mine has been dusted off for months

i would love to run in a limited class to cut down the cost,but i will run in others if need be....all i have now is stock,no brushless or lipo...i got plenty of stuff to run stock so we can run that class for sure latest packs i got are 4200 ts can tell us what they are running now but that should do me just fine down their

guys,thanks for all the help.....its been so long since i raced,i can't remember crap....my chassis are a woods and a hyperdrive......just got the hyperdrive,it looks alot like a woods chassis... which hyperdrive chassis is it

If you guys together can decide the class(s) & the org rules you would like to run under and I'll get that information on our site. shouldn't be much to it on the rules maybe just a gentlemens agreement in place should work for this class. i am sure i can put some input in to get some stuff in place for 1/10th electric.

Anything is ok with me as far as rules. the 4600 batts have came out but the ones I have have lower voltage than the good 4200s. I would think that Pink compound tires would be the best overall for electric.

gilly,i believe the hyperdrive is a 510....got it rtr with 2 extra chassis and 2 more speed controls and servos...bunch of extra parts.....it was a deal i could not pass up..

gilly,i believe the hyperdrive is a 510....got it rtr with 2 extra chassis and 2 more speed controls and servos...bunch of extra parts.....it was a deal i could not pass up.. no problem i ran a 510 for about three years and the 0500 for more years than i can count before that so getting this car dialed not a problem it should be an excellent car at lpr also if i have any extra pieces for one laying around i will give em to you i did have several pieces if i have not given them all away the last few years is it the woven graphite or the black magic graphite

Anything is ok with me as far as rules. the 4600 batts have came out but the ones I have have lower voltage than the good 4200s. I would think that Pink compound tires would be the best overall for electric.whatever you want to run just bring enough you know i aint forgot how to go fast on the outdoor tracks yeah three pinks and a red left rear should getterdone

thanks gilly,i would welcome all the help you can give me.....todd gave me alot of help when i raced up at henderson,tn.....there is so much i don't know and have forgotten...
