Can someone with a digital camera get some pictures of the Sprint car "line up" for us less fortunate that cannot attend?

Thanks for the pics K1M. :wave:
Very nice looking lineup of sprint cars guys. Sounds like you guys have a lot of fun racing there. Maybe I can get up there with my son next year and do some racing at the headquarters. I just wish it weren't an 8 hour drive......

I shot misc. photos of the sprints also, I gave Bud the disk and he will post on the site.

A few full sized Sprinters from Columbus Motor Speedway...

That's about it...enjoy!

Thanks Rafster :thumbsup:

We have another SC18SC in our house, Joy loved the way my sprint car came out so now she has one too. She just finished the masking (swearing) of the body last nite and we painted it. I'll have some pics of the final results soon.

We flattened the radio plate and cut it like nerf bars. I also made her a bumper out of Kydex and servo mounts for the mini Hitec servo. The ESC and reciever are mounted on a piece of Lexan folded like a "V". A Lexan battery box/transponder mount fits between the antenna and the rear damper post and Dubro ball ends threaded on the rear body posts makeup the rear horizontal body mounts.

Joy has built this one pretty much by herself, all I've done is help out with the sprinter conversion and the paint.

Here are some shots of the chassis:

if schedules permit, it could be a good turnout of sprints in december,

great looking sprinter, Joy! :thumbsup: Can't wait to see the paint scheme, I'm sure it will be awesome!!!!!!! :cool:

Looks very nice Joy! Clean layout. The rear body posts are used to have a side mount screw for body attachment. I can't quite tell what you have rigged there. Any closeups for that area? The paint scheme is eagerly awaited...
Looks like the fun keeps coming for these little cars.

What will be the next body class for a custom little car?

At CORCAR we ran a Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge race using a single manufacturer's body. It was fun. We should do that sometime with Bud's bodies... Choose the Saleen or GTP or F40 or truck or something and have one of the races where everyone is running the same body.

RAFster: look at the 3rd pic....that's a Dubro ball end (with ball removed)threaded onto the rear body post. The nylon nuts lock it in position with the shank of the ball end sticking out thru the body like a body post. You could thread a screw into the end thru the body, but we just have the shank sticking right out. I drilled a hole in them for small body pins, but they're not necessary. Not too fancy, but it works.

Joy's new sprinter

looking goooooooooooooddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Very Nice job Joy! I painted Bill Stevenson a F360 in that color and everyone was razzing him about the pearl green being teal, they clearly haven't a clue as to what teal looks like.
Nice details on the car.
You want the real thing, eh? CocaCola, the real thing...

It's cool!

Thanks RAFster. The roll cage took forever to do but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. As for the numbers I chose.... That's my channel and I'm sticking to it.

taking to the top...

Here's a link to an ebay item I found. This looks like one of the original Oval Outlaw sprint cars. I love the wheels and check out that "big block". ;)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2565&item=3194028862&rd=1

Yes that sprinter is over 10 years old. Hope no one bids on it.

Atten BUD.... reference the sprint car bodies. I want at least 10... Please let us know when they come in. Smitty ..LASO R/C raceway.. Thanks.......

Smitty >>> We have bodies now. They do require you to do some mods to the car to fit however.

I seen earlyer some conversations about tracks, I have one over here in LaGrange IN, its a 240ft (center line 1 lap) banked concrete called Schoolyard Speedway.
It has been compaired by 1/8th & 1/10th scale drivers as well as nicknamed Little darlington, but the 1/18th scale drivers call it super Daytona.
We are discussing the possabilitys of hosting the 1/18th scale stock concrete oval Indiana state championship race.
But a driver wouldnt have to live in Indiana to race the race.
Check out our site and info at www.rcspeedway.net and think about it, also I would welcome suggestions based on what I have described the class to be.
Tech bench check points and such.
In the link on my site called Special events I have a rough draft of alowances for the 1/18th scale.
I have recieved some feedback expressing that my track is just too big for the 1/18th stock... My BRP SC-18 Fun Ones stock with 6 cell AA 1100ma with foams has the record so far at 7.78 and 29 laps running 4 min. My SC-18 (small tires) 6 cell 1100ma AA, stock motor and aluminum chassis still gets 29 laps in a 4 min run.
Its big but a full feild of 10 will be a blast.. just keep the trigger floored and get that perfict line.
In Acron I tryed the big block against Bud and a couple others and got smoked but it was a real pleasure just getting out there.
Well think about it and check out my site for details... LaGrange IN, is aprox 40 miles west on US20 from the Ohio line and aprox 18 miles S of Michigan.

Awesome lookin cars!

After reading this post I have a few questions if I may..

Iv never owned a fun won. What kind of wheels are those,& can I get some dimensions for front & rear? My clubs rules state no open wheels & I wonder if I could get them under a body by narrowing the front end. And trueing the tire as small as they could go.

Can someone compare difference in performance between the fonwon wheels & the stock? The chassis is very high IMO with the funwon wheels.

ZXBOY was the only person who made the midmotor. Im running lipos & pushing. It might be the lighter weight of the batts. Did going mid motor make the car to tight?

Thanks

Fun Wons use front 1/12 scale tires trued down to 1.80" on the front & back. they use a wider front beam to allow the tires room to turn from left to right. I doubt you could use them on an SC18 without serious modification on the front. Rear hubs are used to mount them to the axle that you might be able to narrow some, but I doubt you could get them completely under the body. Maybe with a mid motor mount and a narrowed rear pod??? The larger tires do raise the chassis slightly, but I have seen Fun Wons hold their own on several different tracks including DA TRACK.

You can still get Fun Won's stuff on line:

www.brpracing.com

you could turn a SC-18 into a FUN WON with just a few parts..
