SmacTrac...St.Louis Indoor Off Road

[David Alberico]

Cool, We might need to come race there one weekend.

if you need some labor, i will help out. just email me.

The owner of the building wants to have all of his stuff out of the building before I allow anyone else in the building. The problem is that he has a ton of stuff in there and I am doing it all myself right now. I am getting pretty close though to getting it all out. I will let you guys know as soon as I do, so volunteer's can come out and help get this thing ready so we can start racing!!

Well I may be putting the cart before the horse here, but I was wondering what classes you are planning on running at the track? I have been out of RC racing for quite awhile, but want to get back in it and I am just wondering what kind of car/truck I should get.

Any thoughts on what will be the big class?
Thanks!
Doug

Mod 2whl & truck are always big, This year 4whl mod should be the big class

[racer7ds]

So why is 4wd mod taking off? By Mod do you mean brushless? Also what is the hot ticket in batteries now, NiMH or LiPo?

[X God]

Associated's B44 is out now and and its cheap, Under 300, Almost everyone has gotten one. Lipo's are not yet ROAR legal. Most people still run NiMH's 3800 or 4200 mah.

[smac]

It is true that Lipo's are not ROAR legal yet, but I will be allowing them as long as the vehicle makes the ROAR legal weight.

Scott,
I know you must be swamped trying to get things together on the track, but if you have any rules or class structure already laid out, can you post them someplace? I would like to know what you are thinking so I can see about getting cars for my dad and I so we can come out and support the track.

Thanks!
Doug

I sure the classes will be Stock(brushed) Truck and Buggy, Mod Truck and Buggy, and 4WD Mod. Maybe a novice class. ROAR rules except Lipo's in mod will be allowed. But I could be wrong.

[racer7ds]

Because Im not up to speed with the current technology, where do the brushless motors fit into the mix?

[Skeeter2]

Brushless motors will be ran in the "Mod" class only.
I would suggest getting a 7.5 or 10.5 for 2wd vehicles & probably a 6.5 for 4wheel.
