So, how was the carpet track?

[Tex]

it was ok cept, no jumps. I thought it was going to be an indoor offroad carpet but it's geared more for the rs4 and xray mini onroads.
That's a good choice for LHR to make too cuase there was like 10 guys there with onroads and about 3 with offroads. It'll be a way more stable racing scene if it's a flat track.

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

John said for racing trucks they were going to have some small humps they woudl put onto the track. I guess for open practice that might be a bit rough on the sedans! Still sounds like fun. No problems with freq's with both tracks running?

[Tex]

oh, ok..removable jumps....Another great idea from the LHR guys!

[Mr. Tune]

I talked to them about it last night. There are removable jumps that can be added/removed quickly so the off-road guys have something to jump for their heats/mains and the on-road guys have a smooth track for their heats/mains.

[Tex]

very thoughtfull!

[maxximum_44]

Anybody know if there are different classes for mini's(Brushless or reg.) or is it just an open class?

[Tex]

I'm sure it'll be different. They can't race mini RS4's against stock mini-t's

[maxximum_44]

No, I meant motors per class. I've never raced, not sure how it works so bare with me. For example 4 guys with mini trucks, 1 mamba, 3 non brushless
Will they run an open class?
Does'nt seem fair. is it driving skills that are gonna make a differance not motors?

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

You gotta believe there will be stock and mod. It's never gonna be perfect, though.

[thenewguy821]

Sorry if I got in the way of anybodies truck/buggy. I had the Steering return spring snap on the R-1, which made steering VERY difficult. I was going to send it in to JR and have it fixed, but through a little research, I found out that the steering spring is a common problem on the R-1. I ended up using a pen spring to replace the original. It's a little stronger, and I shouldn't have that problem again.

[FrankieS]

i tried driving my miniquake on that track yesterday, and man did i suck at driving! I can barley handle my storm on the off-road track. but i had a decent time.

[Tex]

hey Frankie, you were the kid with the dyed hair? I was the dude with the black leather jacket, I had my daughter and little brother out there.

It's going to come down to driving skill more than what motor you bring. You can't utilize the power of a brushless/lipo'd mini out there, not enough space. Basically a stock RC18b had too much power.
