i was able to look at the web site for the electric challenge and it clearly says Sat for the enduro race. indoor or out may depend on the weather but any added info you get would e great. thanks!

Are the signups for the electric challenge up yet?

mike nelson

You can send entries to Leisure Hours to make sure you get a shirt but there is no cut off on entries.

Stock Short Course has been added to the event.
As far as the Enduro, it's going to be run on Saturday after the mains, the first 15 two person teams that sign up, (sign up that night) get to run, it's 10 dollars to sign up and the winning team gets the 150 dollars, if you have not got to run one of these enduros you've been missing out, they are a blast!

Thanks. Because this was a last minute thing, I've got a few questions:
Do we need pit tables?
Are there outlets?
Just what do you all normally bring? Sorry I've never been to leisure hours.

you dont need anything you dont want to bring. over 170 pit spots in the building. tables,chairs, full power, air conditioned pit room, air compressor lines. there's room for a trailer on the south side of the outdoor tracks with power there too. there's a fully stocked hobby shop on site too.
just bring the basics and the rest is covered.

So what would be the tire of choice for truggy indoors, or are they not doing this class indoors???

Also what compound in AKA is the tire of choice up there for 1/8th buggy indoors.

And what is the most commonly used tire indoors for 1/8th scale, and compound.

Truggy will be run indoors, but I haven't seen an indoor truggy race there in a long time so tire choice is up to you. JC Gold, Panther Clay, Pro Line MC, and Losi Pink compounds all work well. Pick your favorite tread pattern from any of those and you'll be good to go.

Unless you have access to the AKA clay compound I wouldn't run them indoor. Same guidelines as above apply to e buggy.

For outdoor, bring medium and soft compounds depending on how much tire wear you're willing to accept. I know a lot of guys run I Beams in 1/8 scale, and Cityblocks too.

Rebars @ cityblocks soft good choices?

Rebars not really. Guys run anything from enduros, gridirons, snipers, tazers, blockades, goosebumps, etc. Rebars don't have enough pin.

Thanks

Sorry I've never ran on a clay track before Are you able to run normal compound tires indoor and still get reasonable traction? I know clay compound is obviously the best for that but I just can't shell out the dough for a set of tires for multiple cars for just one race.

That will be pretty tough.

+1. Running non clay specific tires will be very rough indeed.
