RC Racing at HPR

[nwatkins176]

Okay what is the story with the track? Still going to get built? I just bought a new to me E-Revo 1/10th to own you all BTW. Just waiting for it to ship to me. Just gotta learn to drive it first. :lol:

[Bartman]

Its not built yet but it will be and it will be SICK with lots of big air so make sure you bring spares as you WILL brake shit.

[racedk6]

Lol Bart we have to do some nitro circus shit when I bring my little electric planes.

[eklew]

R/C's are weaksauce!!!!! j/k, Bart, let me know if you need help with track design and building it as I have some experience piloting these little suckers.

Hey, something I can do at the track till I can get back on a bike. I have a T-MAXX nitro that I am dieing to mess up again. If you build it they will come.

[nwatkins176]

Eldon if you are going to help design it, don't go all skimpy on the jumps. I didn't buy this big ass used 1/10th revo to jump tiny jumps. I expect to break shit. Oh some doubles that will crash cars that short it will be in order. Maybe we can take 50's on it afterwards.

Eldon come teach me how to drive too. 8-[

Really I had heard you were a total NOOBTUBER :lol: oh wait thats on a bike. I would really like your input on this and we have plenty of room to work with so we could do a kiddie track as well as a big supercross level track if we want. I am trying to get the loan of a bobcat or something like that to make it easier.
We are really trying to encourage electric instead of nitro sense we will be running after the races are over and prolly late into the night. So if anybody out there is going to get a RC to come out and play go with a brushless electric setup. Best RC for a noob is going to be a Short Course truck or buggy, by the way if you do need to buy anything RC we have Keith Easton racing again this year and it just so happens that he runs Colpar Hobbies west 303 988 5157.

Yeah, a bobcat is definitely the way to go when trying to build the jumps. Let me know what kind of square footage we have and then we can start making a layout on paper and then we will build the track!

Neil, be careful what you wish for! If you want big air, be prepared to rebuild your shocks a lot!

[Desmodromico]

You guys make me want to get one, when I was a kid I saved up forever and bought a Losi buggy, was running it in my driveway the first week I got it and my aunt pulled in in her family truckster and squashed it flat.

I am all nostalgic now...

[Bartman]

Eldon we have almost unlimited space to the north of the pits, at least until they expand the pits if we wanted we have the space to make well over a mile long track. I have someone that I think will let us use one at the race school.

[N1K]

Sweet I cant wait to play on this. I gotta borrow my sons stampede but hell yeah its on!

[freddiewest]

Hey everyone, definitely stick with electric, less hassle after a couple of brews :P and the way brushless motors have advanced they will definitely spank a lot of those nitro vehicles!!!

Just like the motorcycles, suspension is key to good lap times and keeping the vehicle as light as possible!! Definitely stay away from the metal hop-ups!! they add weight and something else will break!!

The new Short Course trucks from Traxxas, Associated, and HPI, are the hot trucks right now and they take a whole lot of abuse, Just ask Bart :twisted:

If you guys need anything just let me know I am working with Traxxas to get some demo cars that we could use for a weekend event and let people tear them up to get an idea how fun they are...

Watch out for that Elden guy he is fast, we just need to sneak some liquor into his soda and slow him down !!!

See you guys next weekend!!

Elden someone told me you're the ST of the RC world. If I'm betting on your buggy you better win! :lol:

[NossLou]

well I guess I'll go dust off the emaxx and bring it out

[peteyt328]

Too bad I sold my T-Maxx, I still have a couple electric rally trucks but not fast. There's always planes tho

[Bartman]

Get a new brushless setup and some lipo batterys and they will be fast.

[eklew]

Elden someone told me you're the ST of the RC world. If I'm betting on your buggy you better win! :lol:

Awwww, how sweet!!!! :wink:

[nwatkins176]

Don't be betting too hard on Eldon. Might break something due to a maintenance issue. 8)

[Bartman]

Are you implying that Eldon is high maintenance. :lol:

[racedk6]

Don't be betting too hard on Eldon. Might break something due to a maintenance issue. 8)

I think he'll be ok because none of the ones at HPR will be combustion type engines :twisted:

[freddiewest]

Okay, looks like I have to bring a Short Course Truck to race with all of you now, gotta put the Big E in his place :shock: and of course keep the Bartman behind me too!!!

Keith

[racedk6]

I just hope bart puts a big double in the track!

[Bartman]

Don't make me show up with a cheater motor cus I will. I won't worry about handling since I will just ram everybody out of the first corner anyway and keep going. That seems to be my rc racing M O. :lol:

[eklew]

Just picked up some corrugated piping from the track that I race at and will bring it out to HPR and start building the track! It will be sweet!!!!! 8)

[random hero]

are you guys racing stadium trucks, or run what ya brung? I've got a sc10 and slash... little things are damn fun!
