What are the tires of choice for 2wd buggy?
high 15 to low 16 is what we did on the second weekend but the track is still jelling. just about starting to pull wheelies on the straight.

barcodes rebar beams any tread like that.

Are you guys running any sort of traction compound? We ran Sticky Kicks around here.

ok Thunder RC keeps on improving...

after finishing the offroad track which runs Saturday a few months ago we have updated the onroad with new Carpet and a super level subfloor and click track. so 12th scale doesn't get air anymore and no more flappers or roundie rounds. I'll try to post up pictures later this week.

also what this means is Friday night OVAL is back at Thunder RC...

looks like TOUR 17.5 car and truck and Legends 6.0 breakout for now. had our first race and had a great turnout and had more people watching then running so it should blow up here in the next couple weeks. watch for special Saturday Oval racing also....

onroad is still racing on Sundays and with the new floor should pickup also.

as normal video is over on http://www.ustream.tv/channel/thunderrc and results are at http://results.rc50.com/Thunder_RC_Nashville/

watch he website http://www.thunderRCraceway.com for updates and more info.

New Offroad Layout will be ready this weekend get a taste over on Youtube more to follow once the layout is done.

+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


Don't forget Thunder Jam January 29th. Might be getting some Cleveland and Detroit drivers coming back to Thunder along with all the region fast guys plus maybe a special guest from europe??? Snowbirds Layout and running backwards should prove intersting. check out the layout.


For you oval guys Febuary 24th 25th is the TOUR date at Thunder. popular classes are 17.5 truck spec and 17.5 car open but should have 13.5 COT and 10.5 car open if we get enough entries for it. As always the 6.0 break out legends class will be running. TOUR rules here. http://www.thunderrcraceway.com/TOUR..._2011-2012.pdf

more info on the website http://www.thunderRCraceway.com
watch past races over 100 in total on http://www.ustream.tv/channel/thunderrc
results are at http://http://results.rc50.com/Thunder_RC_Nashville/

First thanks to everybody that made it out. The local support was great as was the out of town support for the TOUR series race. Big thanks to Alan from Greenville Speedway for the TOUR series and rules package and for keeping things straight in tech. That made my life so much easier. Thanks to Brad Norris for helping out in tech. Thanks to Eric Anderson and Bryan Klamer for working on getting this race here at Thunder RC. Thanks to the Sponsors Hyperdrive, Mudslide, Epic, Tekin Delicious Vinyl and 7even bodies. I want to put the suggestion box out there. [email protected] 615-499-6151 I am listening and yes working on thinner ice and a cleaning agent that doesn’t leave residue and next time the track will be FULL width. No more seam in the groove of the back straight. Anything else you guys got I will try to accommodate. I hope other than those major things that everybody had fun and had good racing. I WILL make the next one even better.

Full heat and main results
