Is it stock slash racing or mod too?

At this time it looks like we will run using the S.R.L. Rules for this event.

Spec Racing League (S.S.R.L.)
Traxxas Slash CORR Spec Racer Class Rules

The following rules will be implemented to keep the vehicles in this class to an absolute minimum cost with little extra investment, doing so will keep the level of competition as close as possible. The goal of the S.S.R.L. is to create fun racing for new and existing R/C Off-Road Racers. These rules are devised to be used as a basis to start developing the class for all types of Racers.

I'm interested. I'm putting my 1/10th Nitro up for sale today and plan to buy a Slash. Get's me out of Nitro completely (both planes and cars). Mostly I say good riddance.

We would love to have you and your new Slash out at the track tearing up the clay. Its looking like Saturday October 11th is going to be the date for the Open Electric race. We will also have Nitro running that day. We will be having a practice club race Sept. 13th. What was it about the Nitro's that bothered you the most?

kikcaffine · 08-31-2008, 08:12 AM

Ohh this could be fun....
