Battlefield R/C is your hometown hobby shop. Dion is a good guy and great to deal with

512 Chickamauga Ave Ste A
Rossville, GA 30741
706-866-8540
http://www.battlefieldraceway.com/Ba...Supercross.htm

The Shop moved and I'm not 100% sure if this is the new or the old address so give the shop a call before you head out. He is open 11am-7pm Monday-Friday

He has an off-road R/C track but deals in Airplanes/helicopters/cars/trucks/trains ect ect

The most popular class right now is VTA, I dont run it but I've been running 17.5 blinky Touring Car in Alabama. I'm hoping that Stock Touring picks up again in the coming months when the outdoor season opens up again

Actually all we race is F1...nothing else because they are cheap, and fast, mostly cheap. All the other classes moved out to like Arizona or something even the offroad guys. You will need 2 cars. One for racing and one for cheating. I'll help with the cheating part. Just kidding, hope to see you at the tracks.

Vta is very strong at hot shots in marietta. F1 is quickly growing and we hope it continues.

Vta would probably be the best class to get your feet wet again. Like xpress suggested come on out Saturday. I know vta and f1 will be running. hopefully some tc and 1/12 guys will come out too.
