The Chitown Forums have grown steadily for a while now. I'm wondering how many people here own and either bash or race with electric on road cars.
Please raise your hand if you bash or race any of these electric vehicles:
1/10th scale on road
1/12th scale on road
Recoil
1/18th scale on road
1/18th scale off road
This coming Fall and Winter there will be a few places old and new to race and I'd like to keep in touch with anyone possibly interested.
Thanks!

there really isnt that much of an attraction for it on here i guess. Even at LH there arent that many onroad guys; I think its cool just really no where else to race it outdoor other than LH

We need to change that around Chicagoland.
If people like the competition aspect of racing, and not focus on the type of vehicles, there's a lot a venues.
Personally I like racing, no matter if it's an 1/8th scale buggy or a Robitronic's Scalpel.
It gives me the same charge either way.

I'm not following what you are saying. Tell me the specific vehicle name/manufacturer and I'll tell you if any place is racing them.
Who has a 1/16th? I think Trinity is due out with an electric off road one......
Is half-8 a nitro term?

Last checked as of 4:11 am Thursday morning and On-Road practice for Saturday the 29th has been taken off the schedule. What gives?
Just got my PM from Bernie and it's all taken care of. Sorry for the confusion.

Who out there knows why?
Probably weather. Outdoor is coming to an end for the year quickly.
