Cleared it with Tower Control and I'm going to the off road nats! You guys put on a great show for the onroad nats and thought I'd give offroad a chance.

I know this is one of your premier events and I know it's going to be great.

Team Canada (Ottawa) will represent. Trying to convince Max to come down. He's got to get his rear end to some races soon!

Most likely Open trucks and Open buggy for me.

Now I need to find out the best foams for open trucks (Xray) and open buggy (exotek). Search is beginning.

Any recommendations for the RCMadness track? Which compound do you use? Is Parma the preferred make? Any suggestions for your track would be appreciated.

will the mini inferno be allowed in the open buggy class?

[phathedrc18t]

an word on anyone running the 1/18th scales outside on an outdoor of road track? IO think that would be cool.

We will allow the Mini Inferno in the Buggy Open class provided the motor is 380 in size or smaller...

[phathedrc18t]

What class's will be running in this and can I run my RC18T? And is it open to only some or can anyone come up and race?

excellent

[PierreV]

Will ask again in case it was missed

Which preferred foams for M18t at RCMadness?
--> I understand ZBarry used dual compound in front and white in back. Is that standard there.

Which preferred foams for rc18t/exotek?
--> Looking for any recommendations?

New to offroad carpet and time is limited to test loads of foams. Any help would be appreciated.

thnaks berm, i was aware of rubber tires only, i might have something up my sleeve for this

[wfdfiremedic]

quick question:

would a vendetta st converted to a buggy with buggy body and buggy tires be acceptable in the open buggy class? The rules state open chassis, but i don't know if that means only open buggy chassis.

thanks

[RCMadness]

The Detta ST would be too wide. Please see the bottom section of the rules where size is called out.

[wfdfiremedic]

oh didn't see that...thanks

Pierre,

The AE guys were using the standard AE RC18T foam truck tires but just cut down. They were dialed.

Thanks Mike.
