We will set up the official course for the first time on Sunday, so I have no pictures yet. You can see a great arial shot of the concrete slab here.
We will have pictures and possibly video next week.

I did a little hobby house cleaning this past week while I was waiting for the parts to fix my TT motorcycle and sold some old stuff I had kicking around here at home. I generated $160.00 and bought this lightly used HPI evo 3 for the $160 so I can join in on the fun

Great looking car!! I am positive you will have a blast! We'll get there around 1:30 to start setting up. Bring your personal transponder if you have them.

Very nice, and thanks for coming up with something to run so quickly. Do you have any soft rubber tires for it? I might have a set you can use.

Alright so you've peaked my interest. I have an Ofna OB4 electric that is just collecting dust. I may have to break it out for this. It will most def need a new motor and batts though. Looks like it could be fun!

I originally bought my tc for an rcgt class that never happened, so the only tires I have are the spec tire for the class. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Offset-Chrome They seem very hard compared to offroad tires but I am an onroad tard. What should I be looking for @ an LHS tommorow? I know foams werent working last week, but could they be the best once the track is treated? Somebody edjumikate me please
