there's something about pinning the trigger and full lock turning that makes 1/8th incredible.

After a tip from a local car show promoter I went to check it out. This is a great solid option that should be possible. Asphalt is in decent condition and is a smooth rolling lot. With a little thought into setup and pointing noise shouldn't be a problem. Its located at off 148th right off I90 at Bellevue Collage.

It would be great to see the return of nitro on road. I remember watching 8th nitro at SARCAR in Renon in the early 90's. I wanted to get in to 8th nitro and Nitro TC about 6 years ago but there were no nitro classes anywhere, plus I need a good excuse to get an ARC R8.

There is a resurgence of nitro in offroad right now. Better engines with lower costs that hold a tune very well are making it easier for those who are new to nitro.

Lightbulb Then Get an R8!

Don't need an excuse, you could build an R8 and come on down to the Time Zone Gran Prix July 17-19

There's gonna be Great support for this Car locally and 8th Scale IC is primed for a resurgence (thanks to Rose City Scale Racers and Time Zone Raceway Park).

do you still cut the rear tires at a angle, if so, how much, and what are the recommended compounds for around these parts..

and for Lynn, have you weighed your E car and how does it compare to the N car

thanks

1.5 deg pre camber is normal. 32/35 shore tires 99% of the time it seems.

Exclamation GLARCRC Toys 4 Tots Race 12/11-13th, I'm want'n 2 Go!

The R 8.0e weighs 2760 grams ready to pull the trigger, the Nitro Car is 2460 w/empty fuel tank. 125 cc's of fuel weighs 160 grams so, they're close.
