The point series is over what do you guys think about changing/modifying the layout for the next one? If you guys are interested we can do the samething we did last time and finish it in one night.

Fellas, I need your help. My 1/12 scale was taken from my pit at the Snowbird's in Feb. As Dave P has indicated, the car has surfaced and is in the possession of Todd Malone. Todd sent me an email a month ago indicating a desire to send it to me and we then talked about it on the phone. That call went very well and he said he would send it in a couple days. Well, the car has not arrived and it has been a month. Some of you know Todd pretty well and I request that you contact him and encourage him to send the car to me. Or, have him give you the car, pass it on to Dave P. or Bill Fraden and they will send me the car. I have been trying to contact him again, but the phone is not answered, the emails I have sent are not returned, and I receive no reply. If some of you are doubting my intensions and the validity of this request, I have the emails identifying the car, the one where he promised to send me the car, and I can share them with you. I have no intension to get him in trouble, I just want my car. My sponsors are very upset over the idea that it was taken. The motor in the car is the property of Reedy and I am responsible to return it. All this can be overlooked if the car is returned. I have considered offering a reward for the car, but haven't decided yet. I am pleading for someone to step forward and help with the return of the car. Any of you can contact me at: leeda@tqci.net or phone me at 317-859-0596. Any help you can provide is deeply appreciated.

I drove down to Orlando today to check out the facilities at RPM. Despite all the obvious--air conditioning, a roof over the track, a FULLY stocked R/C shop--the track itself is very nice.

The indoor track has wide ROAR-legal lanes (so I guess that's a low on the "technical" scale) and is very fast. The outdoor track also has wide lanes and nice covered driving stand. I didn't like the layout because yor car is driving straight away from you or towards you most of the time.

Everyone that works there is friendly and helpful too.

Everyone needs to give themselves a reward and take a trip down there to give it a try.

davepull
05-17-2004, 08:09 PM
so the indoor track has 6 foot lanes

BryanW92
05-17-2004, 08:12 PM
They narrow down to 5-6 feet in the tight areas.

Well if were gonna change it lets start talking about a date. I'm a bit partial to doin this on a Sat just cause my weeknights are all spoken for 'cept Mon. if possible we should doe this on a no-race-sunday weekend just to give the locals a one week headstart before the out of towners show on Sun. :devil:

News Flash!

The worlds greatest r/c driver, The Brad Jessee TQ's stock touring friday night. Ah but the poly vinyl chloride wins in the end. I HATE PVC! What about you Brad?

BryanW92
05-23-2004, 11:01 AM
They use vinyl rain gutter at RPM in Orlando. I didn't check too close, but it feels like they put something inside (syrofoam maybe??) inside to give it some more strength. Its still more flexible than round pipe and, with the flat sides, keeps the car from trying to squeeze under the pipe. I hit the gutters pretty hard a couple times when I was there on Monday and barely scratched the body.

A few years back, I remember reading an article in RC Car Action about turning your XX Buggy into a Rally car. Does any one know where I can find this article, or has anyone converted there buggy into a street car ( what body to use, body posts...ext.)
