Bolink Legends

Anyone here racing Legends currently? A new local track by me will be running them, and I am thinking about getting one. With Bolink back up and running, is the class going to boost again?? Lets use this thread as an "unofficial Legend tread"

i have an older Bolink legends chassis but need to buy some parts to get it up an running, to include a new body. I'm waiting to see if they release there sport 2000 or something similar.

i'm trying to get a asphalt track up an running in NH.

We're racing Legends at His and Hers Hobbies in Kenosha, WI. Tonight will be the 6th race of our 26-week Legends series. We started out with 9 cars the first night, and by week 5 we had 18 entries. There are more guys interested in running this class, too. It's definitely turned out to be the hot oval class at our track.

Here's a pic of my green Chevy and my dad's maroon Chevy.

We are working on getting several new series just for legends going. I've got dates now all I've got to talk with is the sponsors ( with the track sites). I'm changing the rules to what most of the hobby shops carry. Here are my changes:
1] Batteries- 4 cell either 3800's or 4200's. It's to hard to get the spec packs all the time.Since 3800's are just laying around we now have something they can use.Since IB were the cells, that's the brand we are using.They can be hardwired or any connector.
2] Motors- The trinity monster stock with bolink gearing 21/22x81 only. Any brushes and springs.
3] Tied rods can be changed to normal linkage.
4] Tires are open since they only have greens from Bolink.
5] Classes: juniors/women----Racer-----Pro----- Masters(50 and older)
Difference between Racer and Pro is Ball bearing for the front wheels and rear axle. Masters can run in Racer or Pro or even Masters but will be scored seperately.
We will have a warm-up series and a Big series running with a traveling in the city car show that I do.

Very cool. It's good that you tweak the rules to keep it easier and probably even cheaper yet. Like you said the spec packs are getting a little harder to get, so allowing different cells is better, and still keeps everyone even. Have fun with your series.

What are most people using for tires (i.e. BSR, Jaco) and compound for Legends racing? Thanks

BullFrog · 12-16-2006, 05:16 AM

We are going with any type of compound tires. There is no way to regulate the tires since Bolink does not offer anything but greens.

We run the Spec Tires from Trinity or BSR Spec Tires.. Good way to control costs and easy to identify

lp3233 · 12-19-2006, 06:14 PM

Thanks, We are going to run the spec tires once we get up and running. I am going to start with BSR spec greens except the right front I am going with BSR spec blue.

j21moss · 12-19-2006, 06:30 PM

I usually run green rears and blue Lt frt and orange rt frt.. sometimes blue Rt frt depends how much track starts biting

lp3233 · 12-19-2006, 06:42 PM

I will give that a try. I have to order tires anyways for my son and myself so I will get a pair of the fr orange and blues to try. Should be fun and something different from our B4's.

Thanks

Great news from Bolink- Spec tires are coming real soon.They will be BSR tires with the bands. So our series will start using them as soon as they are available- Probably in Febuary.

Will any 1/10th pancar tire mount onto a Legend?

BillyCaldwell · 12-26-2006, 01:37 PM

Ky,

From what I remember 1/10th pan wheels fit fine. If im wrong someone please correct me. It has been a few years since I had a legends or allstar sprinter. Very fun cars.

BullFrog · 12-27-2006, 03:07 AM

Yes any 1/10th rims will fit legends.
