As for nitro classes...

Just 1/10 touring.... 2 or 4 door sedan bodies. .15 engines are fine. Foams allowed (only on nitros).

I'd love see a couple 1/8 scales running, but I doubt that'll happen since they're sooo expensive to run. You could race full scale at Langley for that kind of money, lol.

Hey guys,
I've got a couple of cars for sale, I just don't have the time and energy to give to racing anymore. (besides Rusty has some sweet trains I need!)
I have a Team CRC Bloody Knife 12th scale that the body has never even been run! (the car has) It comes with a personal transponder, JR Fm radio (no rcvr), teken speed control (works fine) and extra set of foams. Make me an offer
I also have a TC3 racer kit with foams and a few hop up parts but mostly stock with an Futaba magnum FM radio/rcvr. I think I can make it ready to roll for a new racer. make me an offer (I put out over $600 last summer for this set up)
Let me know
my cell is 757 897-0583 or email me at threeflys@hotmail.com
Later,
Chris

I can't wait to race on-road. I just painted a new body for my TC3. It's a '49 Mercury, :mad: black with Dupli-Color Mirage color chance flames. It looks soooooo good. I don't know how it will handle though,I may need to install a rear wing.I am ready to race it (the TC3 is dialed), but I almost hate to, for fear of ruining the body. Oh well, gotta race it to show it off! :freak:

Bodido
07-09-2003, 12:39 PM
EmptyCan.... You don't HAVE to race it, to show it off. If it were me, I'd bring it but race a sedan body. In all honesty, the best handling bodies are the ROAR legal 4-doors..... Stratus, Accord, Alpha, Vauxhall, etc.... Even the Porsche, Lambo, and Ferrari bodies don't handle as well as the plain 'ole Dodge 4 door grocery getter skin.

When you're making laps, it's the cool paintjob that makes all the difference in appearence anyway.

Don't let anyone tell you that aerodynamics don't make a difference to our little cars. Anyone that says this is just plain wrong.

EmptyCanRacing
07-09-2003, 04:23 PM
Oh yeah, I know about the handling issue. The chassis is dialed & I have a Ferrari 360 and an F50 that I usually race. The F50 feels really planted to me, it's got alot of downforce all around. I'll probably run a few practice laps with the Merc' just to see how it feels. I've got a Pro-Line wing & standoffs that I can install if I have to. I think it might look kind of cool. I bet it'll take away from the sexy lines & sleek overall look of the car. I hate to paint a body just to be a shelf queen & I rarely run the TC3 anywhere but the track.

Why sell your TC3. You need to at least put a 10 turm modified in it and run it. Are you moving or just getting out of R/C. They are running touring and 12 scale at Streams. Go check it out next weekend.

Melvin,
I'm not sure, I just got a lot of hobbies right now and not enough money!
If I don't sell the cars, I'll hold on to them. I still enjoy racing and havn't raced on pavement yet!
What's the classes like at Streams? Is anyone else in my "league" :)
Mel, you know how I race (I suck) so no one take that last comment any other way! :)
I'll try and swing by Saturday, you know it's a whole mile and a half away!
Chris

Bodido
07-21-2003, 11:22 PM
I'm totally in your league Chris... ;) And would really love to get 1/12 scales going well at Stream. Don't Sell!! Stock elec and Nitro touring are going just fine, but we need to get this 1/12 thing going. The track is easily smooth enough for these little buggers, and I think they'd be a straight up blast on this bigger flowing track. I'm just gonna start running mine weather anyone else shows or not!!

Melvin: Quit showing up when we're done!! Grab some Take off 27's or 32's and be there 8:30 to 9:00 ish so you can run a pack or two of practice. We'll have some tent for you to get under.
Bring it...

Hey Rusty, if you are looking for killer cells to stock in your shop for fair prices... you need to call Ron Atomic at Kinetix RC. I just got two new packs of 3300 GP cells from him... 1.16+ for less than 50$ a pack!! From what i understand he is looking to spread his distributorship... i know the guys at your track(s) would love them cells for that kind of money! If you are interested i can give you his # to call him... just didnt know if you were looking to stock killer cells at great prices. As Jady says, "I HATE Trinity... they the devil!" :D Supposedly GP is releasing a new version of the 3300 that will enable higher voltage output with little loss of runtime... sounds like now is the time to be in ELECTRIC! :cool:

Dave.....

Nothing against Ron's packs or nothing, but Rusty has been selling SMC's for 49.95. Lately they have been 1.18+ 385's at 30A. Nobody can beat that right now. Though it looks like keeping them in stock is a slight issue.

Heck Chad i can see the SMC deal is better! The track i goto in Louisiana has them for the same price... 49.95 for the same numbers... i thought it was a fluke... SMC is usually more expensive... i figured they were blowing out older cells that had been on the shelf. I guess Danny decided to drop his prices? I was just impressed with Kinetix... and thought i would pass the info on. :thumbsup:

Hey Jady... i have been out of town for the past few days racing, sorry it took so long for me to get back to ya...ill PM you.

BTW guys... i know this is an onroad thread... but i got a setup on my B4 that friggen ROCKS! I had alot of bad traffic and luck this past weekend at Redstick... but i managed to qualify 6th in the A and took 4th with all the comp there for the Cajun Classic (and hacked to last on the start) and post the fastest single lap by 4 tenths... and was 6 tenths slower in stock than the fastest lap set in Mod. There was a few sponsored guys there... Peak/Losi and Banzai/Losi drivers. I practiced mod for four hours on Friday... and Saturday morning... ran out of armatures by racetime (14 packs of practice... two 10 turn armatures later) and had to settle for racing stock class. Anyways... ill pass it on if ya would like to have it to try.

It looks as though we'll be shifting our schedule starting next weekend. This should help people that want to race on road at Debbies as well. Hopefully this will help turnouts at both locations.

We'll schedule on road for this Saturday (the 9th), then run it again next weekend on the 16th.

I spoke with a number of people last night who were very happy about this.

It IS BRRIGHT AND SUNNY AT 10015 JEFFERSON AVE. Chad won the A Mains turning 143 laps in 5min . JD tied a string to his Trinty loaded Radio Shack car and pulled it to a last place in the ZZZ main. Mike Mcdaniel won 1/12 in his own little race.
OK now the truth Stream will run on road 16Aug but only if it rains

Would anyone at all be intersted inan F1 class for on-road? My team-mate & I have a pair of Tamiya F201's and an F103, besides our TC3's. Touring cars are great, but we don't have a class to run our F1 cars.
Tha F201's are competent tourers (shaft driven, fully suspended, 4wd) with an exotic flair. With a little fine tuning (they are fully adjustable), they handle great. Almost on par with TC3's, HPI's & Losi's. They just deserve their own class to be fair & for the cool factor. They list for little more than $150 & would be a great candidate for a "Spec", cost controlled, or beginner class. Might help keep some slower drivers in their own class until they had the experience neded to compete in some of the more serious touring classes. Like a Sportsman Touring class or something. In AL, we raced alot of oval. Rookies for the most part, started in the Legends class until they felt they had the experience (or the required points) to move up to Stock or Mod Oval, where the Carpet Knifes & RC10L3's ran. It made for some fun, exciting, fair & clean racing. Everyone was in their own league, you know?
Just something fun to think about. If you're interested, e-mail Rusty or me, @ legendsrace@aol.com
