hey condie you running all the morl this year and if so what classes

Masters Mod 2wd Mod truck mybe some 4wd

whats the word on the meeting ?? date? time?

Late Feb.

As for Economics, a spread season helps as does more drops. Drops help with equalizer tracks as well;-)

New issue Guys- associated sc10- alot of guys are already Pre-ordering these corr trucks, Not me , because I like the idea of the spec rules the slash brings with it. But the truck will be out in the stores in march, so now that this "race bred" corr truck is out there PLEASE address it at the meeting so we can all know what we are shooting for this season.

should be carefull to many classes make the races run longer and it is hard to get the races done before dark now

Yeah, that's why I brought the sc10 up, because you know guys are going to show up with them,and better to have a gameplan established before it happens.

when is the meeting going to be fish? were starting to plan for the summer im hoping that you will be here sometime in july again? if not let me know thanks

i aggree 420 id rather do a slash spec

stick to slash, cheep and fair

Kevin what's up buddy? You coming out to battlefront for the roar race next weekend??

A bunch of people have the slash just for spec racing and if you let a better "slash version" race with them then you will have a lot of people going somewhere else. The same reasons that the losi desert truck can't run with the slashes.

wife has to work next weekend. we are going to ftr in a couple weeks my ddaughter wants to race offroad at the kuhana race

Ya some dates would be nice.

Conde, you have a PM.

we will be working on this over the next few weeks.

Yeah I am going to TRY to make that race, but being valentines day, I am thinking I may be out of luck there:rolleyes: Wives, what are you going to do with them.

No hurry

My 2 cents, if you add slashes to an allready long day, we wont get done till midnight. I want to run super stock buggy and truck, that means we get rid of stock? We allready run a long day of racing, we cant keep adding new classes without doing away with others. Do we really need a masters class?

SS buggy, SS truck, Mod buggy, Mod truck, 4wd, 1/8 scale. Slashes if there is enough time. My opinion. Also if you extend races to 6 minutes, when will we ever get home????????

Do away with stock classes, 13.5 is not a whole lot faster.

I am all for a 6-8 race season with 2 drops. Loved Stateline, BFG, hated gobles, sand is for Quads, not RC cars. Btw, only a select few tires work at BFG just like any track. I really enjoyed the ROAR at bfg, and I will enjoy it this weekend as well. See yall there.

people have spent to much money on slash racing to not to keep it spec.let the sc10 run with losi truck or whatever . dont mess with Slash spec!!!!

If we go by that and they don't add the Slash class then they should also not add 1/8 scale electric either. Last year the MORL races had about 150 entries a race. A few years ago MARS had close to 300 entries and we almost always got done before dark. There is room for more entries, no need to drop anything.

if it gets more people to the races then add a class. but most of the peopel will just run tow three or more cars. As for a long day most are at the track friday any how so we would just stay one more night at the track more people= more fun

+1 million!! We have half the turnout we used to. Time shouldnt be an issue.The series has always supported ROAR sanctioned classes, and I would like to see it remain that way. As in , if enough people show for a ROAR class, run em, But we should also continue to support the classes that have always been there, Like stock truck, and stock buggy,mod truck and mod buggy, open 4 wheel, and masters. Masters mainly because there obviously enough guys that want to run it since there were at least 2-3 heats of masters at all 5 races last year.
For this year I would like to see
novice
slash
stock truck
mod truck
stock buggy
mod buggy
open 4 wheel
masters
1/8 electric

ss buggy or truck if there are enough to run it.

It is only a matter of time before ROAR will have to do something to recognize the Slash and or other CORR style trucks.

Just remember the Slash is what is bringing new people into the hobby right now.

We had 40 people with Slashes out for our Slash Bash. Can you afford to risk turning that many people away?

hmm 40 x 15.00 a head comes out to about 600.00 per race before you even think of what other classes those 40 people will run.

The classes is a tough issue, good luck with it!

Run a greater number of vehicles per heat.

Run seperate classes (ie. slash/sc10), just raise the min needed to create the class to like 8 or 10? Racers will have to put up or shut up including 1/8th scalers.

Only run full heats. When creating the boards, if the #'s can't be split into full heats; ask that number of guys to change class' in an effort to have a timely program. Most guys are willing to change classes if need be. Or run a greater number of vehicles per heat, ONLY run full heats.

Remember: track owners need $, racers need fun, and we ALL need to get home.

How bout implicating this rule: If you run mod in any class, you cant run stock or super stock of the same class. I agree on if you have enough ppl to run a class then run it.

I think youlle see alot more 1/8 electrics this year, and slashes. 1/8 electrics are 1 class, slashes are going to have to be 3: spec, open, and corr. I guess we'll have to just see how many show.

Who's runnin 1/8 electric with me this season?

Hopefully we will have super stock classes, buggy and truck if so ill be running them as well as 4wd mod.

Im jonzin, lol. Cant wait for MORL!!!!!

I believe there is only going to be one class of Slash if they put that into place. I'll be running 1/8 electric this year. I'll probability also run Masters and Mod. Truck (or Super Stock Truck if they have one). Doubtful at this time I'll run Slash as 4 classes would just be too many to run.

I been on the fence between 1/8 and a slash.But i will probally end up running Mod truck, stock buggy , and 4wheel.Brandon will be running stock truck and stock buggy, regardless I cant wait to run on some dirt where you actually throw a roost out of the corners instead of a little poof of dust:thumbsup:

sorry dude not much roost here lol myself and about 4 others that i know of right now have slashes, we were thinking of making some kind of short course for them on the oval and the infield

Yeah but you dont get that popcorn fart poof of dust that you do indoors either!!LOL

The short course on the oval would be sweet kevin!That's a hell of a good idea for sure.Especially since I see more electrics down there for oval than anything, it should make for some cool friday night racing!

your oval infield setup would work out great do you think thats something you will be doing for the rcpro program?

ya prob that and what ever, sorry dont mean to hi jack your thread

if you keep adding classes you will have 50 heat of 4 to 6 cars. most people that come out will run 2 or more cars any how and why people want to run super stock and not mod

Doe's anybody know who makes a conversion for a KYOSHO 777 WC to elec. I got acouple and I don't wanna covert my MP-9
thanks

Thanks Hank

if there is going to be a slash class keep it simple and just make it box stock that way there is no problems just my 2 cents

will there be a novice class this year

sorry dude not much roost here lol myself and about 4 others that i know of right now have slashes, we were thinking of making some kind of short course for them on the oval and the infield

That would be cool. Show Summit how it can and should be done.

I would not mind seeing longer main ( it would give me more time to break stuff) I dont know about super stock why not just run mod

Classes: 1/10th buggy stock & mod, 1/10th truck Stock & mod, 1/10th 4WD mod, Short Course, masters (age 40+) and Novice
==
1/8th Electric - This is not one of the listed classes for 2009. 6 or more will make a class. No option of running less in 2009. ROAR rules except soft packs are allowed with 30 mil lexan cover for 2009 only, hard packs required in 2010.

Very disapointed

Yeah, it appears they are killing the Slash (Short Course) and 1/8 scale classes for running the MORL series. If brushed 27T stock motors are going to be allowed AND allowed to change the ESC, why not allow 17.5 brushless? Just doesn't make sense.

well hopefully they will allow the 1/8 guys to run for points since I dont think there will be a problem getting 6 of them for the class to show consistantly this year.

Man I gotta say this guys, I am really looking forward to the 2009 season.

Yes, if there are 6 to make a class the 1/8ths will run. And yes it will be for points if they can get in 4 out of the 5 races.

We are running a Short Course class. The SC10 will not have a motor with it so people have the opion of either using the 27T brushed or a Titan. Both will run using an inexpensive ESC or the stock one in the Traxxas. So its force the SC10's into more simple ESC/motor or force Slashes to upgrade to brushless. There is a lot of inexpencive brushed equipment around so we took that method. Looking at what local tracks are doing across the nation, most do allow the ESC, radio and reciever to be changed in there Slash classes. Now if enough drivers want to go to brushless and there are 6 of them at race day, well that would be a modified SC class. The key in SC or 1/8th, we need 6 so that the race after has enough people to cover the track, so everyone has the chance at a fair race.

Fish , I aggree with hank on this. 17.5 should be allowed in spec since alot of places out there are going to it because it is more cost effective for the racer in the long run as opposed to 28.00 for a titan or 25.00 every month for a brushed stocker, especially when these trucks are heavy enough that they just destroy brushed stockers.(in a slash any way)

We are going to have the push/pull from all sides. $55 for the xl5 and $25 for a 27t vs $150 for a 17.5 system. Seeing as the slash is only $200, the new guy that could have put his box stocker out there now has to almost double the up front cost and get a brushless insted of running what he pulled out of the box. For most of us in the sport already, $75 to $150 more for something more durable is what we would jump at. For some getting in, thats the straw that breaks the cammels back. One side is goign to be screaming about how can an SC10 be let in, others are going to be on the motor issue. We have to land some place and start at some point.

A 17.5 brushless in a Slash is no faster then the Titan that I have seen. In any case the rules have been made, we have to work with what we have.

17.5 in a Slash is slower than a stock Titan, and 1/10th the hastle.
