You bring it, we'll run it! We tried a Duratrax spec motor in the trucks & they are way too slow on our track. Kinda like watching paint dry.

Don't forget the new hours! Friday 6-9PM and Sunday 8am-til racing ends. Closed this Saturday.

I'm pretty sure everyone used stock 27T motors last Friday. We left most of the rules open to get a feel for things. I think Mike left it up to the racer's to decide amongst themselves what they would run. Should have a better idea for rules by the end of the month.

Ok so who's in for the 26th truck race?? We're running GEARBOX trucks & Nastrucks!! Any Rhode Islander's?? I hear swansea has a pretty stout Nastruck class at the
moment.

Only a week until the swap meet!! Hope everyone is cleaning out their designated hobby rooms for this big event! Remember, it's not just rc! You can bring die cast, models, trains, planes, even that bracelet making kit aunt tilda got you for Christmas last year! If it's hobby related, and you don't want it anymore, put a price on it, pack it up and bring it in!
