Don't worry HotRod, you'll be the first to know. Seeing as it was the general consensus of the group that because you didn't show up at the meeting it was more than fair to volunteer you and your skidsteer to do all the dirt work.

In the meantime we're just waiting for the track to dry out enough.

Any word on when you guys plan on working on the track give me a heads up when you plan on doing it see if I can make it down. And don't worry about racing hotrod, mike he runs his skidsteer just as good as his buggy you should have no worries about beating him in a race LOL

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea how to run a skid steer but it can't be that hard? I'm game for trying anything, once, maybe twice. And I probably do run it like I race, all over the place with the odd cartwheel.

If you can build something on our track that can make a skidsteer do a cartwheel I would have to say job well done and welcome to the most amazing r/c track ever built.

LOL, skid steers are easy to learn basics but hard to get very good. Best bet is learn doing snow removal first.

Well about halfway done the build on the truck, just need a few more pieces. I might make it out a few times this year and have my butt handed to me.

Just signed up for the RCPro races here and in Edmonton. Couldn't help but notice many of our local guys not even signed up for our own race. May I suggest that anyone even remotely considering coming to our round of RCPro to please sign up now . The more people signed up and filling class;s the more likely racer's from other town will make the drive up here to race.

Anybody interested in buying an almost ready to race Mugen MBX5T nitro truggy. Includes a very decent motor, pipe, Spectrum radio with reciever and a decent throttle servo. As well as some spare parts. It's definitely used but for anyone looking to get into racing nitro truggy for cheap it's a very good package, especially considering the price.
Thinking $300.
Just needs a steering servo and servo horns and you're racing.

If I am able to make it I'll probably just get the 1 day thing for the race. Gonna pick up a motor for my truck and a membership tonight.
