Moss, its a lot bigger than Terra haute. I'd say a tad narrower and shorter than Ft. Wayne.

Track looks good.

They have been running 10.5 in trucks I believe most stock trucks are run in novice with rubber tires stock towers only short shocking allowed.

Have you guys decided on an on road day and has there been any other talk of running on road on Sundays too? I know there had been mention of maybe trying Sunday on a trial type basis to see how it went.

I am putting this on the new thread, there is rubber tire trucks with touring car chassis and there are 2 BRL classes that are 4 cell pan cars.I would possible run a pan car class but I would have to get a speed controller.

I would be interested in a pan car class once everything gets going and they have their feet under them. Pick something that's not too hardcore while us beginners learn the ropes. :thumbsup:

huff what are they running in 4cell pancar nastruck for motor and batts

huffrcman
12-25-2008, 09:01 PM
I would think 4 cell 17.5 would be a good place to start then maybe 13.5.Or possible the Lipo 21.5 class since alot of people have Lipos's.There are alot of choices right now with the transition to Lipo's, there are some 1C Lipo classes starting up in some areas.

4 cell NASTRUCK has 2 classes, Sportsman is 17.5 4 cell and Masters is 13.5 motors.I read the rules under the BRL thread.

I read Novak is getting closer to releasing their voltage booster too which will make 1s racing awesome.:thumbsup:

there is the trans-am class they are rubber tires, cool looking bodies and can run brushed or brushless motors. yes a spec class but you do get your feet wet.

Track looks good guys... Stetler I think maybe running 3.5 with the new thunder power 40c would be fun. :)

On a serious note I wanna run some carpet sprinters. How about non winged sprinter action? 13.5 or 10.5 must use 2.0" wheels.
