Has anyone raced a 1:10 Pan Car Oval Chassis on a Dirt Oval Track?

If so what adjustments are needed to get around the track?

Yes! We used to race 1/12 scale on dirt waaaaay back in the '80's, before the Tamiya Sand Scorcher came out.

McLin of Rc-Oval has gotten some interest in Nitro-Pan in the dirt ovals. The initial test has gone very well.

That looks pretty cool...I'd like to try it sometime. Hmm...pan cars at Radio Hill?

Oh no...........Fred, Need bodies for Pan Cars Please!!!!! LOL

Need a Flopper COT body?

we ran pan cars on dirt with late modle bodies only adj. was to rasie it up some and tires we used window silcone to make like a cap

I did this at Bumps and Jumps in PA a while back and it was a blast. I got every bit of ride hiegth I could in the suspention and then used a tall set of purple foams. The foams were grooved and I used a regular monte carlo with a wing on the back window. personaly I would love to see a class for pan cars with late model or bomber bodies on them. It would give my old L3 a new life.....................or maybe the L4 :rolleyes:

You would groove the tires yourself it's easiest to put the tire on a truer and use a Dremel cut-off wheel to groove them. The fronts grooved just around the circumference the rears both circumference and cross cut. Tire tac is track specific, u name it it's been used, best to find what is hot locally. :thumbsup:

Here's a pic of what I mean...

unless I'm mistaken the grooves are about 3/16 to 1/4 deep

Cut you grooves no more than 1/16" deep. Use Zip Grip Free which opens the pores in the tire and gives a nice feel. Pan cars could be an interesting class.

Here you go fellas,we haven't tried them on dirt,but they FLY on carpet.......... for now

That looks cool...........personaly I prefer a late model body, but that EDM looks sweet.

There's 3 or 4 of these around NY/Connecticut area :thumbsup:

Well that would figure I'm down here in Maryland

what chassie is under the EMD body?? it looks cool that could be fun to try

L4 under there.:thumbsup:

What is some good traction mixture to put on foam to make them sticky.Home made kind?
