Does anyone need 1/8th scale tires for their buggies or truggies. I have a bunch of brand new panther tires that I shot pics of for them. Hit me up, I have 11 sets of buggy and 3 sets of truggy

I'm all in for E-buggy. I will help as best I can when not at TGH. 1/8 would be great for Portland. I could dust off my 8.2e.

need as much feedback as possible showing interest , it will take the community of racers to make this happen , this is NOT going to be a one man show
If you open a place and do like a big grand opening kinda race, I'll fly my ass up there and race.

You checkin'?

I'd be interested if it's nitro. I'm tired of electric lol


I'll go buy a nitro 1/8th, nitro is so damn cheap these days. People practically give it away.

Hell I have 3 nitro rc10t and my newest adam drake 2 with a rb engine. I havent paid more than 100 for one lol.


I always wanted to do 1/8th nitro when I was a kid. I'm down for some racing/bs'n when im in town. rain or shine

Anyone perhaps see the add on craigslist regarding "RC Track building for lease"

In east Gresham, wants 700 a month for an indoor facility with parking and easy access off highway 26; with an addition 2 acres outside to use, I'm sure this could have potential.

Take a look.

I have every one they make. I just did a photo shoot for them and they said to keep the tires and sell what I don't want. 11 sets, well one is paddle tires.

Here is the thread. I would take 70 bucks local.

The more tracks the better for all of us.
My home track TRCR is fun but I really like to race on a large outdoor track in the summer. You'll get alot more attendance if the track is open to 1/10 scale too. When it's all said and done, it comes down to a viable business plan. 1/8 scale only will limit your market alot. Not saying I wouldn't love to race on a track designed for 1/8 scale only though.

not completely dismissing tenth scale buttt the track will not be specifically designed/tailored for 1/10th

there is still alot that has to happen to make it go right but you know what they say, where there is a will
