Electric Racing Club - bandit - 11-19-2005
Hey everybody its the good old bandit again. I am trying to start a Electric R/C Racing Club, and have been working hard on getting sponsors and getting everything together. I have created a cheapy website which can be found at D.E.P. R/C Racing . It going to be for everybody basher and racers in and around the chicagoland area. And hopefully when I get it off the ground evenually we been able to host races and stuff. I don't know maybe I'm dreaming but I think it is worth. If anybody is interested in helping or joining please let me. It will be greatly appreciated. I want to try to make a learing club so it will be good for kid ans familes too. Thanks for you time.

I might be interested, even though my eletric doesn't get that much run time because of my maxx.=)
Electric Racing Club - bandit - 11-19-2005
I hear you, that cool, at least there some interest. That makes it worth it even more to get this off the ground for me.
Electric Racing Club - Tex - 11-19-2005
is it for offroad or onroad electric? both?
why limit it just to electric?
Electric Racing Club - UE-Maxx - 11-19-2005
I would be guessing for both because he has a stadium truck, monster truck, and an onroad.
Electric Racing Club - bandit - 11-19-2005
Yup it's for off-road, on-road, momster truck, 1/18th , and 1/28th. I think eventually it will expand to include nitro, but right now I sticking with electric becuase that's whas I really know.

id like to race my mini if/when I find a place to do so.
Electric Racing Club - bandit - 11-19-2005
Yes I'm have the most luck with that, I found a few place that we could set up a mini race, I too have an 18T and just dying to try and race him. Of all my cars, I think I have the most fun with the 18T.
Electric Racing Club - bandit - 11-21-2005
Well have to put this on the back burner for a while now, I'm in the process of getting a new job so I think thats a little more important then R/C at the moment. Plus I sold my TC4 and selling my T4 for now, and sold the Warhead that my cousin sent too. I'm just keeping the stampede and the 18t if i get the urge.
Electric Racing Club - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 11-21-2005
I'd bring out the MiniT or Xmod if we had a place to race....
Electric Racing Club - Nexus - 11-25-2005
Try to work something out with Intense Raceway Park. They have a strong indoor carpet racing program....not to mention one of the best indoor onroad tracks in the area.
Electric Racing Club - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 11-26-2005
Nexus, that's a good thought if they have open days/times to slot for Mini's. Maybe an email to them? Who is the "big guy" over there?
Electric Racing Club - UE-Maxx - 11-26-2005
Guys, I have good news. I just got back from HobbyTown in Orland Park and they are bulding a track only for 1/18's. It is going to be like 2 shops down from the actually store so if anything breaks, there is spare parts right there.
I was talking to the guy really quick and he said that he was ordering some kind of special carpet made just for r/c cars.
They need to talk to the landlords and are going to start building anyday. He said that is should be done sometime in December.
Electric Racing Club - UE-Maxx - 11-26-2005
When I was also in there, one of the guys was driving the mini LST. It was pretty quick for being stock. He was taking it off a little jump in the aisle of the store.
Electric Racing Club - bandit - 11-26-2005
That sounds awesome, my cousin lives out that way, I think when I go to his house, I may pay a visit over there.
Electric Racing Club - UE-Maxx - 11-26-2005
I will post some more information if I get any.
Electric Racing Club - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 11-26-2005
Looks like I better get some foams on order for the MiniT........
Electric Racing Club - UE-Maxx - 11-27-2005
It is going to be an off-road coarse. Not just flat ground. I asked the guy what kind of jumps there were going to be and he said not too big because they need something to pick up and put down in 30 seconds for the onroads.
Electric Racing Club - bandit - 12-03-2005
Well I have changed the name of my psuedo 1/18th racing club from DEP R/C Racing to Bandit R/C Racing, the web address is still the same http://www.freewebs.com/depracing/ until I order a URL and find a host for the site. Noby seem to be intrested, I mean of anybody has any time to help out I really can get this going and maybe get some races going. Email or PM me if you would like to help or become part of the club.
Electric Racing Club - Tex - 12-03-2005
it's going to take time and hard work to get the club to where you want it. There are enough 1/18 guys here to have a decent club going, not 50 people, but maybe 10 to start off with.
Electric Racing Club - UE-Maxx - 12-03-2005
I think 1/18th club would be more fun than the 1/10th because its a bunch of older people driving really small cars LOL. I could always steal my brothers mini-t to use.
Electric Racing Club - bandit - 12-04-2005
Yeah, I was hoping to get at least ten to start then hopefully word of mouth will kick in when there are races and bashes. And now that I added a Mini-T to my collection I'm even more driven to get this going. My current 1/18th aersnal is a RC18T, Losi Mini-T, and Losi Mini-LST. I eventually want to add the the 18B, and a Xray M18. But after Christmas.
Electric Racing Club - nitrosmoker - 12-04-2005
nice start, keep at it, it will fall into place
Electric Racing Club - bandit - 12-04-2005
Well my website's URL is now live :racing: and can be found at http://www.banditrcracing.com . I'm still trying to get site to look good and be more functional but at least it is up and people can get an idea of what the club is about. So thats good.
Electric Racing Club - bandit - 12-04-2005
Well I added a few things to my clubs site, updated my car section since I just picked up one of those Mini-Ts, and added a review I wrote for Mini-LST. I guess I could write for the Mini-T too, but in due time, I have really got to bash with it yet. I also added a forum to site, so I have 1/18th forum with site. You guys interested in racing and bashing 1/18th check out the site and the forum, I give the links to both.
The site is http://www.banditrcracing.com
and the forum is http://bandit72577.proboards79.com/index.cgi
But you can link to forum from the site. Well I'm getting there.
