Should be a great weekend of racing. Summit has a great group of guys running 1/12 and touring cars.

Foam T/C 17.5 ???? Sounds like I need to buy a new motor.....+1

It sounds like you do! Looking forward to seeing you there.

are the brushed and brushless cars running together? And what is roars policy on lipos?

17.5 brushless and co-27 brushed will run together as per the new ROAR rules. Lipos have to meet ROAR specs and tests and be "approved".

John

..... And what is roars policy on lipos?

We're still waiting for an official approval list. You can expect the Orion batteries, along with several other A-list company offerings being approved. When Roar has a list of approved batteries, I'll post a link to that list on here so there aren't any questions.

Roar has mandated the Lipos be charged in a "lipo sack". It's basically a fire-retard(ed) bag. I bought an official "Roar approved" Lipo Sack for everyone to check out. I've heard Harbor Freight might carry the same thing for half the price. I'm still doing homework on the whole concept. If I can find a legal, reasonable alternative, I'll let everyone know.

After Dale had a Ni battery pop a few Saturdays ago, I think all batteries should have to be charged in a bunker type container. That is probably a whole other thread, so I'll leave it at that.

Ben

thanks for the info! I am hooked on LIPOs and brushless!!

Ken do you have the new Xray yet?

No, It was ready to shipped but now it so late in the season I canceled it and decided to place the investment on 1/12 for Nationals.

I've yet to find this Harbor Freight bag, and we have a store around the corner. We sell ( and use) the LiPo Sack.

Count me in for this one...

I recommend the Lipo Sack personally. We all know it's legal. The Harbor Freight thing was something I've heard about, but have yet to have any luck.

on a side note....I saw a peak 3200 pack expand yesterday. It stinks, but doesnt explode like sub-c's.
Anyway, I will be there for this one

I wouldn't say the BRL race sounded like a war zone exactly but we definately had some explosions that weekeed ( mostly IB 4200s) so be especially careful with those. Sonny seems to think the 4600s are pretty safe and the red batteries seem to do pretty well.

I talked to one of those guys a while back. He said he altered one of those batteries to make it into saddle pack. I don't think this is recommended by the manufacturer. I'm not worried and don't expect this to be tolerated at this event.

Ben

are these 5 min. races?

The foam TC racing will be. The 12th scale will be 8 as usual. I'm not sure about rubber TC since it's an exhibition class. I'd expect it to be 5 or 6 minutes.

Roar has a lipo approval list. The batteries on this list are the ONLY lipo batteries that will be allowed to run this race.

http://www.roarracing.com/approvals/lipobattery.php

I will check this list frequently for updates.

+1 for Super Stock

I would say you'd be A-OK...barely. Bring your stuff on out and race with us.
Ben

question if my ROAR is good till 4-6-08 will it be good for this weekend of race?????You'll be good for the weekend for sure. If you can bring some info on Lazer speedway, I'd like to make it up there this summer.

I will see if i can get some flyers to you guys

Glad to hear it and looking forward to meeting you.
I believe for TC, guys are doing the XX pink all around. Ken can help me with confirming that along with a 12th scale recommendation.

I better get my foam setup working so I don't get totally punked at my home track.:confused:

I just joined ROAR this morning. The online registration is the cats a$$!

Correct on all accounts :)

I've found XXpink to work best on T/C
for 1/12 guys usually run yellow/grey/white rears and lilac/purple/magenta fronts.

Ben since I'm running all 1/12 now you have access to my supply of foam.

And yes the online registration for ROAR is the easiest I've ever used.

Thanks Ken, 12th scale for the rest of the year for me will be a tippy-toe approach. I want to spend the rest of the year working on my foam setup for this race and VTA as a class. I'll ramp up 12th as we go and work on it through the summer, hopefully being ready for war next year.

Ben

well so far me and 2 other racers are coming down for this

whats the deal on legal bodies can you post what is legal?

Its a Roar Event. That would be a long list.

http://www.roarracing.com/approvals/sbody.php

Here is a link to ROAR's approved bodies. If your running a Protoform, it should have the model number molded into the top corner of the windshield. That number should corespond with ROARs list. If your running a 190mm DNA 1 or 2, Mohawk, or Mazda, your most likely legal. Tell us what you have or are wanting to run and we can help clarify the legality.

all the dates on the end are expire dates not approval dates

I looked at the site myself. Most all TC bodies will expire unless ROAR extends the date. I hope that Parma and Protoform have bodies submitted for re-approval as we speak. I interpret the site saying that bodies must be submitted to be re-approved. I imagine this is a yearly thing and hope that the body companies are already on it.

Ben

its hard to get paint in a quick manner I think someone from summit should let us know what we can run so it can get painted i just want to be legal for the race and not have 5 bodies here to paint on the fly

It is not up to anyone at Summit. This is a ROAR Sanctioned event. According to ROAR the body issues should be resolved shortly. It must be done in time for those going to Nationals to prepare. My feeling is all the previous legal bodies will be legal. There is Global Body Spec thread on RC Tech. The president of ROAR is doing a great job keeping everyone updated on progress.

I understand

yes I will be there for the rubber class. So you will at least have one.:cool:

is anyone plan running the rubber class??? Count me in for that class. :thumbsup:

AIRBORN is pretty fast, so you better bring a big stick and one hell of a wheel.:thumbsup:

Ben

Ben

Yeah but he can't run the Vette body, so he better start practicing again.

is anyone plan running the rubber class???

Josh (DR.) Hohnstein is entered for the rubber class. After dominating the Novak in Jan. he will be the favorite for the Nats :)

Just remember...Summit was running rubbers before rubbers was cool.
There are some very fast locals on rubbers, as I have seen with my own eyes.
I will probably mix it up with the rubbers as well (as long as I can use my 17.5)

Ben is getting his Foam Stock running good he should give a solid performance for regionals.
hopefully we can get a full hometown turnout!

Is there any entry list started for this race or is it still a little soon?

There are a few preregistered already, I don't have the list, I'll talk to Dale see If we can get and updates regularly.
Its not too soon to send in your preregistration. :)

is there any exceptions being made for the body rules yet?

is there any exceptions being made for the body rules yet?

ROAR has posted an updated exception, Basically anything legal last year is legal up to a few days before our Regionals, officially, However I'm pretty sure we will be able to extend that for our event.

I knew that list was trying to make sure we were all good for this race
thanks I will just run what i have thanks for the quick response though

I plan to run a Mohawk or DNA either way. We'll be OK unless ROAR drops a bomb between now and then. I can't imagine they'll change much, half the bodies on the list are very popular and very similar.
