Well just thought I would start a thread.... Who is interested in running on the dirt oval? I will get the Slider ready for battle! I think I will sell the LM, so if intersted send me a PM.

Not sure, but I think Freddie was looking at Friday night racing on the dirt...

Ready for some warm weather :thumbsup:

Friday night racing on the dirt...

:cry::(:mad::cry:

I'M IN FOR ANYTIME AND ANYDAY...:thumbsup:
LATEMODEL AND SLIDER...:thumbsup:

Friday nights work best for me. I'm in for Slider and 18t. Logan and maybe Shyniah for 18t also!!!:thumbsup::woohoo::wave:

Well Michael is right its time again. At the end of last summer we had a very nice turn out we were getting 2-3 heats of late-models and 2 heats of sliders each week.
The only reason I tossed out Friday night under the lights was a lot of guys liked it, The track stayed wet all night. We could come from work, grill up some burgers or winnies on the grill and have a few cool refreshing beverages :thumbsup:

We have yet to start this year so the day is still up in the air. We did Sunday mornings last year as well and it worked.

For right now we will play it by ear how the weather goes and plan on Friday nights under the lights :dude:

I'm getting the Slider ready to go! Remember, box stock !!! Freddie - do we need to look at modifying the battery rules due to availability? Can we still get the 1400's?

I will let you know Monday , Honestly I didnt look yet :p

But if I can still get them I will order up 50 packs and we will be GOOD ! :thumbsup:

If not we will look whats out there, The 1600 mAh did'nt do well at all I heard. We had a blast with the 1400 and if I can get 50 packs we will run those all summer. :dude:

That's cool - if you can't get the 1400's - Team Scream's offer still stands for the un-matched 1500's.

My GOD, do you think there is enough Tissue to go down that path :confused:

I am in for LM on Friday nights. Would like to run the brushless in it though. They had good luck with them inside this winter I believe.
What more can you ask for, cool refreshing beverages and good racing.
Brushless sliders would be interesting too.
Let me know.

I like Friday Nights, Dirt, Lights, Dogs and Beverages! Life is good...:thumbsup:

FREDDIE!!!

Any more info on the friday night racing? website? link?

Freddie - when do you think the first dirt oval race will be?

Looks like we may race Sunday's in the AM!!!!

:cry:Thats too bad.:cry: I'm out:(

Looks like we may race Sunday's in the AM!!!!


_____:D

Actually I might be able to race every other Sun. Would still rather do Fri. evenings. And only if there are enough LM running brushless. I am not running that junk Losi motor again. So if we are running brushless then I would be in for Fri. evenings or every other Sun. morning. Let me know.
Hope to see you all at the track
Thriller

Thriller - I am glad to hear you could do some Sundays! I could do a brushless LM - What would be the rules? What Kv motor? I would only do brushless if it was around the same speed as the stock motor - we all know on the dirt the stock motor was a hand full! I know some of the guys were using a 5400Kv on the carpet oval - I thought it was a little faster than stock.....not sure what gear they were using...

I'd do brushless also. 4200

I think 4200 was closer to stock. I think the rules should be the same. Just can use the brushless (sidewinder micro) and any radio. Don't know about the pinions used. Will talk to Freddie and see what was run.
I think Dave L. would run brushless. Also think Norm would if everyone runs it and sticks to it.
Hope to see everyone at the track.
Let me know when we will be starting. I need to get a brushless setup.

Just can use the brushless (sidewinder micro) and any radio.

I don't have a Sidewinder ESC. I have it's predecessor, the Mamba 25. I think the only difference is the Mamba is in a soft case.

The sidewinder is just an updated mamba 25. They are both just shrink wrapped. You should be ok. I hope so, I've got 2 mamba 25s and a late model to put one in.

I would be fine with that. As long as there is no performance advantage between them.

I just read the sidewinder is an upgraded mamba 25. Should be good I would think.

I have all 3:
The Mamba 25
Sidewinder Micro
Mamba Micro Pro
I can't tell the difference between them other than the sticker on the shrink wrap or the hard case on the Pro.
I think if we stick with the Castle 4200kv and limit the ESC to any 1/18th brushless, it should be even.
In BRP Brushless, the 1/12th scale ESC's were clearly advanced over the 1/18th ESC's. We have decided to limit it to only 1/18th ESC's (Tekin Mini Rage, Mamba, or the Losi) and no one brand is noticeably better than the other.

That sounds good to me. What do you think about only allowing one pinion and spur? I think that would take the power plant out of the equation. Down to chassis setup and driving. Other then that I think it should be box stock except battery, radio, and brushless setup. Can change oil in shocks. Can change rear tires. Everything else box stock.
This should be fun. No buying a new motor every other race weekend.

Im up for any day! I will have to dust off the latemodel an get back in tune!

Bones >> Got that BRP ready? Racing this Friday :)

lol I wished! I might be able to get her ready for some fun. Work has been tying up my spare fun time. Is it a points race??

Any Idea When We Will Start Racing???

COOOOOL!!!:thumbsup:

So anybody given any thought about what kind of rules we will have for a brushless class? I am waiting to buy a brushless system until the rules are worked out.

I say keep it simple.....must be a 1/18th ESC (no 1/12 or 1/10 scale ESC's aloud) Castle 4200kv motor - just because it is $20....

4200kv motors are no longer $20.00

I say keep it simple.....must be a 1/18th ESC (no 1/12 or 1/10 scale ESC's aloud) Castle 4200kv motor - just because it is $20....
Does this sound good to everyone. If so I will get one coming. Can't wait to get out there.
Everything must be box stock except:
Battery. 1400 max
Any 1/18 scale brushless speed control and Castle 4200KV motor.
Any radio gear. Must be spektrum or Fasst.
May change rear tires
May change shock oil.

THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.:thumbsup:

Isn't there a special pinion you must use on these motors?
I will order mine next week.

I think you can use the same Losi gears that come with the LM....you may want to drill a set screw into them....

Well I have my brushless on the way. Can't wait. I'm coming after you DJ66. I won't be such a nice guy this year.:tongue::p
Hey ohionorm, you going to join us.
Counting down the days till the 31st

I'M READY FOR YOU TOXIC.:thumbsup:
FREDDIE WILL YOU HAVE BATTERIES BY THE 22ND OF MAY???
I'D LIKE TO BUY TWO.:thumbsup:

So when is the track going to be ready?

ok good question, June 7th will be the first race, Its Sunday and i think we started at 10ish didnt we ? or was 11 ish ? I do not remember.

Now why are we starting next week and not this week ? Because we have the Tri State Points race this weekend on the 1/4 scale track. Over 50 cars will be here from across the US. Your all welcome to come downa and enjoy an afternoon of good racing action. We are having free hotdogs until their gone of course I only bought a 100 or so. Your all welcome, bring a cool refreshing beverage and come out and watch :thumbsup:

Is it a 2 day race?

I'll be theri. Is it cool if we mess around on the track?

Thanks Freddie, I hope the rain stays away for your big race!!!
