Default Indoor OnRoad 2017-2018

Time to start posting your hopes and dreams on for the onroad season here at MARCCA.

Starting Sept. 17, the track will be open on Sunday. Doors open by 11am at the latest. Racing is scheduled to start by 1:00.

From that point on, Tuesday Practice/Racing doors open by 5:30, racing @ 7 or so. Sunday Racing doors open by 11 and racing @ 1 or so.

We are currently running:
WGT-R 17.5 1S Blinky 200mm Pan Car using GT bodies.
Sedan 21.5 2S Blinky 4WD using TC or USGT bodies.
Mini 21.5 Reedy Spec motor 2S Blinky.

Please try to contact anyone who has raced with us in the past to let them know we would like to see them return and have some fun! We would like to run more classes or heats of current classes. As always, 3 is a class.

Had a great time when I came up to race this summer but it has become apparent that driving two hours to race regularly will not work out for me. My WGT - R chassis with barely broken in tires and body is available, just make me an offer but be kind. Photos available by text or email.

Sure, Run until it doesn't work for you, then upgrade. There have been a few M07s being built, so mini might have a strong following in a few weeks.

Is this the current TCS spec motor? The TCS mini rules page is empty...

I checked the Tamiya TCS website.It appears any ROAR approved 21.5 motor is legal for Mini class.

No mini rules have been posted on the tcs web site . I don't know where you found your source but I don't think any roar approved 21.5 is legal in the mini class . I thought that the Reedy 21.5 with the stamped 253 rotor was the tcs approved mini motor .

Without a general rule on motor we will go back to timing wars & buy the uber-stink motor of the week & dial the knob to 11.

Did find a copy of the 2017/2018 TCS rules
Reedy 21.5 #253 looks good to me.

If you own a m07 concept , 20 tooth pinion max . That chassis will take up to a 24 tooth pinion gear . With 20 tooth pinion in the m07 the roll outs are really close to previous m chassis .
