is anyone interested in running 1/10th TC Stock class? Im new at all this stuff, I was pretty into it a few years back and raced once at CORCAR but now I have forgotten all the lingo and keywords, I have gathered some of it back so I have a question:

What lipo battery would you run for a 4WD Touring Car these days?

I was reminded one of the other features of the CRC carpet is that it doesn't build up static electricity that can kill electronics in your car. Something else to consider when shopping for other carpet.

Depends on the car, some batteries will not fit in some cars. Me, I like the IP 5000mah 40c packs. Thunderpower packs are good also.

As far as I know, they have not decided on one. From what I can tell the race days will be decided by the oval guys as they are the only ones talking the place up.

I just bought an X-Ray 1/12 kit and 13.5 1s, so I'm hoping there will be enough cars for this class.

I plan on running 1 cell 13.5 COT pan car. I can't wait to see how nice it looks when its all done. Looks like the place has huge potential

I have a question. I currently live in Columbus and purchased a tamiya tb-03 last summer. Does anyone know if there will be any 1/10 stock classes? I have only run the car 2 times. Not many places around race onroad. I checked the web site and there is no info there. Thanks, Craig

It looks like it is pretty much going to be oval. I have not heard of much interest in touring cars.

JCarr20142

There are a few people from the Dayton and Springfield that will run touring car. Most of the talk on the forums has been in the oval thread though. I have been there and talked to the owners and they will try to run any class there is interest in if enough people show. They do not have a schedule set up yet so probably would be best to talk them up and see if we can get a road course day set up for us.

Thanks JCarr. I would really like to knock the dust off of this car and get some use out of it. I am glad there is some other people interested. I hope enough people will want to race touring cars to make a class. I would even race it around the oval! Maybe I will just have to break down and buy an oval car, it seems there is a large amount of people who are interested.

road racing is small in columbus but all we need to do is spread the word the track is nice i posted pics of it in the oval section i will be getting a 13.5 1/12 or a 17.5 depends on what peaple want to run

I have been talking it up quite a bit in the Dayton area and we could bring a large crowd over. I was hoping they would have onroad on staurdays as it seems the tracks local to us run on sundays and that way we could travel there. Guess we will wait and see what they decide.

12-21-2009, 05:03 PM
well i know right now they are running oval on sundays so if we can get a big crowd they might let road run on sat.

Yeah that's what I am thinking, but I want to get in touch with the management before 10-15 of us make the trip from the cincy-dayton- springfield area, to make sure they will run a road course on saturday. Probably will not be until after the first of the year before I can get something organized, but not too long.

Has anyone set up a road course yet? If you have, what is the rollout? What kind of lap times are we looking at for 1/12th scale?

Interested in 1/12th Road Course also. Maybe a spec Touring class Hot Bodies cyclone $145.00 30c Maximum Batteries, Spec Tires, 13.5 with non timing esc's ex. older lrp or gtb. Bill Stevenson style rules for the chassis=no mods at all. Stock Dog Bones etc. Maybe allow one ways for rubber tire.

Thats cool Dax, but why Hot Bodies? Parts are almost impossible to get. Thats what I hear anyway. I would also be interested in a GT spec class like they ran in Dayton this past season. I just found out they had the track open yesterday. Was there any racing going on? I've been waiting for onroad to come back around.

i cant wait for the road course to start up also that is all i am used too but that was 5 year ago at platnium hobbies and ever since then havent race and no longer have anything except a rolling chassis of my older Team Associated 1/12th car i use to use i was just starting into 1/12th but it looked fun. i miss my old car i never got to race but once was the brand new losi jrxs it just came out then i raced it once and never raced since so thats how long its been for me.

so lets get the road course going i can come up with some designs i used to help at platnuim hobbies with some.
just let me know

thanks

Is there any interest for the oval guys to run on Saturday and road course Sunday? What kind of carpet are you guys/gals running?

01-22-2010, 12:51 PM
Hey I need to get everyone up to date! We are open and running Road Course every Saturday opening at 10:00 am and racing at 1:00p.m. So far we've had Mini Coopers, Touring & Vintage Classes. The line was .027 with times running from 4.567 to 5.8, I guess it depends on the driver! The carpet is fan fare, ozite.

We have a pretty good following on Sundays for Oval but we're looking to open other times if you tell me what nights you're looking for...Chrystie

i seen the pic. of the road course i think that the design of the course needs to be different the straight is fine but the rest needs so work. I did quite a few design for platnuim hobbies and i think we need to revamp it and to draw a good challenge. We Need to get the word out about the road course and get all the road course guys back......eli, mo denton, rob love, and so many more

LETS GO PEOPLE LETS GET THE CROWD BACK

Tgreed
01-30-2010, 11:16 PM
Is there any road course guys left out there....plz step up i would hate to see this track meet the same fate as platnuim hobbies did......please somebody out say something are you guys still out there? there use to be a big turn out 5 years ago where you all go ?...lol

What motors are the vintage crowd using? Are you usuing 25.5 brushless like the new 2010 rules state on the VTA website or are there any house rules to do with that? I want to setup a touring car for this class hope its popular! I have a 13.5 brushless that I was hoping to run but I guess my luck is up on that one. I can also run ROAR stock motor.

The crowd is starting to filter back in. I personally have been running VTA with a Tamiya Black can motor(until I can get a 21.5BL). I also brought out my M03L mini cooper. A couple other guys had the new M05r car but I was able to run with them. I would really like to see the rest of the mini's out there show up. "I KNOW YOU STILL HAVE THEM GUYS" :) 13.5 rubber sounds good to me too. Bring em out Bring em out!!

If any of you guys have F1 cars, I'm going to bring my HPI F10 with me this saturday. It's box stock on kit rubber tires though. I just want to throw it out there and see how it does.

I'm thinking about making the trip down there how many people do you get for 13.5 rubber or 17.5 rubber? And what time do racing start?
