Doug, looks like a great track to run a Slash Spec class doesn't it?! :thumbsup:

Scott good call on the camera angle. You really don't get to see the benefit of the bank. The fourth picture has some resemblance but i will go out and shoot a few more pictures.

Looks great guys!

To bad your 2 hour+ away from me and I drive a gas hog....

The hard work will pay off.

Thanks for the recongnition.

Had a great team help me put this one together and they deserve all the credit.

Got my Slash today, will be there Saturday to race or play with it.

Yes they are on the street. We have four in today or tomorrow and another 12 on order. Should be a hot class. We are going to try to run a Mock race on saturday night to check all the systems. Hope to see you there.

I can't wait to see these on the track, I'd buy mine now but I just spent that much on tires for my 4wheel :(

What the the times for racing on Saturday?

What the the times for racing on Saturday?


Doors open at NOON !! 12:20 if Stiles is still listening to Paul Harvey!!
Registration--??? 4 ish!! If Stiles hasn't had lunch yet!!
Racing till the light of dawn (under the lights) if Stiles has problems with timing!!
Kid

That really doesn't answer Eric's question. What time will racing start? I remember hearing 6 or 7 o'clock. I can't make it this week, but I will for the following week.

Nothing set in stone right now, but we will have the dirt track open, AND carpet oval inside. I like the 6 start time, but really depends on how many participants!! Both tracks will be open for practice and if EVERYONE agrees it would not be any hassel to set up heats. I can't wait to see the Slash Class run!!:woohoo:

We will be running on July 5th (Saturday) and I will post up a flyer with times and classes. What does everyone think for a start time this Sat??? Let hear what is best for you guys!!! Suggestion for dirt classes for the 5th?? I know my Slash will be in by then, let's keep it as much stock as we can -- OK?
Kid

These are the rules we will be running at Medina and I will get with Lance at Have Fun so there will be no problems if you want to go out an run your Slash at other tracks.


Rules for the Ready To Race - Spec. Class

This Class is basically for the Ready-To-Race Version of the Vehicle as shipped by Traxxas. The idea is to limit the amount of hop-ups or modifications to the factory supplied vehicle.

Body: All trucks must use the factory Traxxas body.

Suspension: Both the front & the rear suspension systems must remain in stock form. Original Traxxas parts only. No aftermarket/Hopup replacement components may be installed.

Legal Tuning Parts –
Original 5805 Traxxas Kit Shock white Springs may be used
Shock Cap may be replaced with Alum Shock Cap #2667
Original Traxxas Turnbuckles maybe used 3139X, 3139A, 3737, 3737A

Steering: No modifications may be made to the steering system. Original Kit parts only.

Bearings: Any manufacturer Bearing may be used.

Ball Differential is NOT permitted in the Spec Class

Weight:Truck must weight no less then 4.75 pounds ready to Race.

I think if the local tracks "STICK TO" the guidelines that Bad has posted, the class will have the chance to grow!! I would love to see a series, between the different tracks, and welcome any discussions on how to keep it going!!
THIS IS GONNA BE FUN!!!! :woohoo::woohoo:( last smiley I will ever post! LOL!!)
Kid

What does everyone think for a start time this Sat??? Let hear what is best for you guys!!! Suggestion for dirt classes for the 5th??

I like whatever time allows for 3 qualifiers and the mains.
5 minute quals with 3 minutes between heats..
no break between round 1 and 2 with a 15min break between 2 and 3 and a 10 minute break before the mains... unless running ahead of schedule then break can be extended.
All mains 7 minutes except for stock truck which should be 5 minutes.

With 6 or less heats, it should take about 4 hours.

As for classes, I don't think the wheel should be reinvented on this.

Here's my suggestion

stock truck (27t or 13.5... yes Howard, all tracks allow the 13.5 in stock)
mod truck
mod 2wheel
mod 4wheel
1/8 open (open to allow electric and nitro until enough to seperate)
truggy/MT open (if enough to separate truggy and MT, then good)

Any Stock 2 wheel buggy class? Or will that be the Slash Class?
Kid

Kid


Oh yeah, I forgot the Slash class!! How could I do that?! Normally nobody runs stock 2wheel... if they do, add the class. But 2wheel is generally a very small class on outdoor tracks. Honestly, on this track modified probably won't have an any advantage so an open truck class could be added to combine stock and mod..... but that sometimes causes problems.. I'd wait and get a feel on how seperate stock and mod classes are. It honestly sucks to have 8 heats with 8 different classes but there's not much you can do except combine stock and mod classes. I'm just glad nobody is pulling for a 19t class!

Looks nice fellas! How far is boardman from blossom music center???? I'd like to check it out.

Not sure.. but it's about 50 minutes from the center of Akron.... if you take 76 and then hit the turnpike (50 cent toll).

Thanks Atown...Hope to see you out.

What the the times for racing on Saturday?

Races will begin on the outside track at 6. Lights go on around 7:30.

Glad to see the upadeted layout. Can't wait to get out there and get some dirt time in.

I stopped at Hobbytown today, they have 9 slash trucks in stock. This should be a fun class!!!!

Hey Guys!, Just buried the outside loop and will be testing Fri. night!
Had the Slash running on stock battery pack, and this is a neat class!
We will run a mock race Sat.(of course weather permitting). Hobbytown has a couple in the shop. Can't wait for the lipo's!!
Kid

My thanks to all who showed up last night to practice....not all great drivers (LUKE ) but great people.
I appreciate the support and keep those ideas coming. ( trash can....ya that's a good one )

Anyway...remember

Mock Race tonight at 6. Lights on at 7:30. Grill should be running for all particpants. Hot dogs and Hamburgers chips and a drink all for just showing up to break in the track.
Remember" Don't bash Alone people will begin to talk"

I was shocked to hear of the passing of Scott Kalitta, Our prayers are with Connie and his family. No one was faster! Always remembered!
Kid

I was going to stop out around noon today to play around on the outdoor track, any update on how wet it is after the rain last night?

I'm heading out around 11. It drained great last night, should be in fine shape by 1. I will post when I get there! (Wonders of the internet! LOL!!!)
Kid

Hey Gang!! The track is in great shape! Let's go tear it up!!!
Slash is on charge!! LOL!!
Kid

Racers from Ohio or surrounding states... (or anywhere for that matter)

We are considering adding a Traxxas Slash Class to the "Flashlight Rumble" Electric Off-Road Trophy Race to be held at Fasttrax in Springfield, Ohio on July 26th. See link for race details.

http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?t=220657

This is still in concept stages, nothing firm. However, it's only about a month away and in order to get trophies etc, they would need some positive feedback or verbal commitments from some folks soon. The race organizer is interested in having this class if there is enough interest, and I am trying to gauge that interest for him. Please post in the thread for the race (above) or send me a PM if you are seriously interested.

The class rules would most likely be kit motor, kit tires, 6cell NimH or 7.4v Lipo, and some minimum weight (unofficially, haven't discussed that with the race organizer yet).

are you guys running electric cars and or just nitros? thanks

Both!! Till 6 pm.
Kid

Both!! Till 6 pm.
Kid

Kid

Are we racing this Saturday? Did you guys get to do a test run on Saturday night or did it rain too much? Keep us posted because I definitely want to come out.

Racing this Saturday

Yes. Races start at 6pm.

Scott how did you do last weekend.?

We were able to check the system and will be good for the race on saturday. It did rain and rain and rain........ tracked drained nicely and we had a good turnout for sunday practice.
See you Saturday

how do the 1/18 scales handle the track?? Thanks,. Brad

Baker.
We had a few guys run their 1/18 when we first opened and because the track hadn't been swept they didn't have great success.
Subsequently though they have had good handling with their cars but only after the track has been soaked and primarily later in the night under the lights. The track stays wet and provides some awesome grip.Best bet is to give it a shot...will keep you posted otherwise.
