So come and check us out!!!
The number is (989)448-8656!!!:wave:
Well the one that I am running is the TOP photon. Which is probably the best bang for your buck. The TC5 is pretty good too. If you are looking to spend a lot then the Xray is a solid platform with a lot of support. But for me TOP is the way to go right now. :thumbsup:
IF you are not running a super seed control. mamba or tekin then around 4 or 4.5 FDR is what was being run. If you have a mamba or tekin then closer to 6.5-7 FDR is not uncommon. I think I am at 6.7. :thumbsup: And that is with the mamba.
Just so everyone knows we will be open on Friday and practice is FREE!!! Friday and Saturday we will have FREE practice with an on-road style track!!! All vehicles with carpet tires will be welcome!!!
Yeah it was sweet running them today!!! I hope to build it up!!! Thursday nights bring them out!!! If you guys want to race them on the off dirt oval saturdays let me know we can put a prgram together!!!
Web site says the track is 36' X 40'! Which is correct?
You guys live in nice country! Many years ago, I was a ski instructor at Otsego Ski Club, there in Gaylord. It was a great gig. Lot's of pleasant memories from that time.
Great running the TC on carpet. I can't wait until more people get their cars out. If anyone needs help with setup just let me know. Making them easier to drive is the name of game. :thumbsup: That way everyone is fast.
I know it is going to be a crappy next couple of days and we will have the jumps down tomorrow and I have heard from a few that they will be out tomorrow so bring them out and we will help you get them going!!!:wave:
Just wanted everyone to know that the jumps are down and will stay that way for the rest of the summer except to throw a few up once in a while and taken back down!!! We are getting ready for the IIC in Vegas the first week of September!!! So bring those 1/12, WGT cars and sedans out!!! But as always you can run any car on the track as long as you have the correct tires on the vehicle!!!
Hope to see everyone out real soon!!!
TRACK IS ALWAYS OPEN!!!
12-8 Monday through Friday and 10-6 on Saturday and Sunday
They are a sweet 1/16 on-road 4wd sedan car that unfortuantly discontinued I have about 6 of them that I have all but ready to run and they are a blast!!!
1/12 and 1/10 pan cars are sweet and fast and overall alot cheaper to run we use 1 cell battery and the speedo to have is the mamba which is around 130 servos for good ones are 75 and so on so it is fun and affordable and did I mention FAST!!!
The thing about it is that you can use your system from your off-road stuff in the 1/12 for the winter and put it back in the summer!!! 1 cell batteries are cheap I just bought 2 thunder power 5000 40c for 40$ from a guy on here and a super new race 5300 50c is about 80$ so it is way cheaper in that respect and the speed is second to none with a pan car!!!
this carpet knife has no t-bar(durability increased) and about 100 dollars cheaper then all the others. it has won state,national, world and IIC championships
Not sure what "rudder" tires are but rubber tires are about 30$ a set. And if you are running them a lot they last about a two weeks. And by a lot I mean a few times a day. Depending on the brand, I guess some last longer than others. I used to run my outdoor tires until you could see the belts. but the indoor carpet I don't think I could get away with putting that many laps on them.
