hi bill,
anything in the works planned for the 30th anniversary of the event? special classes like a vintage class?

With the Vintage class catching on like it is that might just be the ticket...

hi bill,

We are kicking some things around still as far as classes go.But we do have somethings we are working for the 30th anniversary.I don't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet!

Im thinking on cutting back classes this year, that would help out. my idea would be
17.5 Touring car
Masters Touring Car
Mod Touring Car
17.5 12th Scale
Master 12th scale
Mod 12th scale
and maybe a vintage trans am class

just my two cents

i usually run just masters 12th scale but i currently dont have any lipo stuff. will that be allowed this year in cleveland? my area i race at is still behind the times. we still run round cells.

how was the turnout for this class last year??

I liked the Northeast Grandslam format 17.5 stock and 10.5 pro-stock for both 1/12 and T/C. Nice seperation of speed.

Pure Mod limits the field substantially....just my $.02

Round cells will be legal this year

:wave:ROUND CELLS VS. LIPO WHAT DO YOU THINK :confused:

:wave:ROUND CELLS VS. LIPO WHAT DO YOU THINK :confused:

Either / Or but not both together. I'm planning on making this my first Champs, but do not see any parity between the two and will not run either if combined.

LiPo, say goodbye to dinosaurs. :thumbsup:

Keep it simple guy's, Lipo only.

211 Days Till Cleveland..whooo Hoooo:thumbsup:

Bill,

The whole world has gone Lipo. I prefer round cells but even I am ready to move forward. Please don't allow both that will cause a division in the class and probably limit entries. I would like to see a big return to the Champs this year. I also would like to run this summer what we will run at the Champs but we can't without a solid direction.

Steve

Have you owned lipo's yet?

Bob your killing me.......hahahaha

Yes I have been running them for a few weeks at Slots. Almost all 1/12 are now lipo.

Steve

Sorry, man. Didn't mean to bust your chops.

Bob,

No problem, it's all good.

Steve

yea bill, dont change the rules on my account. i will just have to break down and buy new equipment to keep up with ever increasing technology.

ttt^^

Wooohoooo:wave:

:thumbsup:

159 Days Till Cleveland..whooo Hoooo:thumbsup:

or 3816 hours or 228,960 minutes and counting.

There will be a USVTA class at the US Indoor Champs this year.

So what is the decision regarding Batteries?? need to know if I hafta buy lipos and charger or just get some round cells.

Does the 1-cell LiPo also apply to World GT class? if so, same motor (13.5) or something faster to make up for the voltage loss?

Kevin, Jeff.
Those are both good questions.
I talked with Mr. Bill last night and he has been busy moving into a new house.
He is considering both of your questions and will have an answer soon.

1-cell LiPo is 3.7V (4.2 fully charged). You'll need either a receiver pack or a voltage booster (Novak sells one) for the radio system. So far there aren't too many companies selling them. SMC has a 4000mAh, Fantom & Thunder power have a 5000, Associated/Reedy has one on the "coming soon" list. There may be others out there by now.

SMC has a 4900 mAh 1S lipo too, as well as the older 4000.

74 days, 7 hours, 31 minutes, 7 seconds and counting til the first practice session for the 30th annual us indoor champs.

Is there a class list yet??? What is the web site???

They're working on the classes, and should have them posted soon.

Here's the web address......

Just another question...Have we decided as to what battery to use? is it lipo or round cell? and what modifications do I have to do to my 1/12 th scale car for lipo? Thanx

I'm speculating at this point, I believe it will be lipo

I'd agree with you Fred.

Also, from Mr. Bill.............

Is this a run what ya brung motor race? Then get it teched and marked deal?

yes that is correct

I try not think about all the work that goes into that weekend until I see the stores starting to sell stuff with turkeys on it.

It's that time again folks!

We'll have two classes of Vintage Trans Am this year; one for the fast guys and one for the rest of us. I'm very pumped about that.

Start planning to come now because it's just around the corner!

Mike......

Two classes of VTA? Will that now make it 12 classes total,
Or did you mean two classes of world GT?:confused:

What is the weight of a 12 scale with LIPO. ROAR has their limit listed as 730 grams.
