I have a question- what is a 3s 7.4v lipo?

RALLYCROSS
- WR8 3.0 or WR8 Flux rally cars only.
- Any HPI Rally car body.
- Any WR8 wheel and tire may be used.
- Box-Stock 3.0 Nitro Engine or Flux Motor/ESC only (3S 11.1V LiPO battery max).
Ah yes, that is my mistake! Changed from 2S to 3S without thinking of the voltage . See you at the other rounds Mike!

Small jumps will be present, I'll design them like the ones we had in 2000 at the Irvine Spectrum HPI World Finals. Those were the perfect size, tall enough to be fun but didn't give the huck factor that would kill a RS4 Rally

Default BBQ

I can donate the dogs and sausages. But you need to find someone else to BBQ them

Will there be any throw-out rounds? I'm pretty sure I'm still not welcome at Cal Raceway. Last I heard I wasn't welcome at any of Charlie Barnes events, since mine and Charlie's 'disagreement'. I would love to get back into on-road racing, and I think this sounds like tons of fun.

Maybe we could do this for the final round, when the weather is better? Thanks Mike!

Hi all,

In case anybody had questions, there will be ONE throw-out round.

Each round will still have awards for 1st-3rd in each A-Main!

Happy Holidays everybody, can't wait to see you all at Round 1!

Ok, Dj here but have not been hip to the Aero bodies that HPI sells, so what's it body for Open TC? Is there a couple different ones or an all time favorite.

Part number please, my H4 is ready to fitted.
