I to was thiking about geting one my self but I real lised how much it would cost me to have a 1/8 scal so insted of geting a 1/8 scal I just orderd a hot boddies Cyclone, so I will be geting in to on road carpet racing here real soon.

m_perkins

you talkin about 1/12 scale .

The biggest thing in maintence is cleaning and going through the car/dis-assemble. The clutch and clutch bell bearings are the items that need the most attention. Re-building the diffs is a once in a while thing. Thats about it.

All the 1/8th scale buggy's are pretty good. Some have there good and bad points. I really like the Losi 8, but the Mugen MBX-5R is a real close second. The Losi has to be driven a little easier to be in control, but really fast.

I am talking about 1/10 scale on road carpet racing.

I know we are of topic about ARC, but I justed whated to let cornerspeed no that I tried clicking on the dcmotorsports link that he as but when I click on it it tacks me to a diffrent web site not dcmtorsports web site, so I was wondering if u have the right web site? or u can tell me were I can find them?

m_perkins

cool man thanks what about like engines and a pipe and where do you buy a fuel tank for those 1/8 scale buggies.also you mean you can drive the mugen harder staying more in control of it.

I just spoke with Dan[the owner of A.R.C] They will be reopening with some stuff that change R C for the better. Stay tuned!!! By the way Don V., Good job at the best of the west. Did you run your new o.s.?

cornerspeed

Yea, DCMotorsports is no longer. I have not removed it from my Signature area. It was a good motor/battery company that sponsored me.

cornerspeed

Thanks, that was fun. Never been to a track that big. I was surprised that I did that well. Are you talking about the O.S. Speed WC engine that I just got this week. No. I am saving it for big races maybe(If I get to go to any). If you are talking about the one I bought used from a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago, then yes I practiced at Revelation last Thursday and over-reved it getting of a pipe berrier and the connecting rod broke. ITS DONE!!!!!!

Man that sucks what ever happend to them? I found some dc motorsports electric mortors ot stormerhobbies and was just wondering if that was the same people?

losi09

Any news on ARC if they are still open? or are they sut down?

cornerspeed

He got too burned out with it and didn't have enough in return. He went on to other ventures.

cornerspeed

I believe they will find another location. Let's hope.
