Hey Delmo,

Full length A-main for MT??? None of this "my truck won't last that long...."

Mine probably won't , but lets do it. As long as it keeps running and the wheels still turn, I'm in still

Happy New Year All!!! Best of luck in the R/C racing season of 2004.

Not 100% but in past years the dirt they haul in there has amazing traction. It's a clay base dirt that is sorta damp from the frost, it's stored for certain events in huge tents all year round. I really doubt it will get hard packed and dry. On the Friday we are doing lots of track work with a bobcat so the dirt will be freshly turned up and have plenty of moisture for the entire weekend. i see alot of traction rolling with the MTs.

Time permitting I would love to see a full MT main. I'm sure it wont be a problem.

Are there any good hobby shops in red deer to buy parts and tires at? Or should I order some stuff now?

Bring everything you'll need to Red Deer. Closest hobby stores are in Edmonton and Calgary.

I think step pins will be a good choice for both Gt and MT.

Just wondering if anyone that isn't running 1/10 gas truck, would be willing to pit for me at the nationals. I lost my pit guy for that weekend. I am not a real serious racer, just serious about having fun. Hopefully someone can help me out.
I am also running 1/10 elec truck.

I GOT A SAVAGE SS FOR CHRISTMAS. Woooo Hooooo




Nationals here I come.


Well, we will see. But damn it would be fun. Box stock savage SS, might not hold out. I think I might have to bullet proof the diffs with 4 gear before I race it. We will see if I can afford it.
