Yeah... pretty much just want to be sure we are all running close to the same motors. (no helicopter armatures) My issue with the Xray Stock motor is the lack of availability... seems to be getting tougher to find them as time goes on.

The Orion 180s seem to be a good option, readily available too:

Or just go to the regular HPI 180 motor... I'm fine with the Stock Xray, I've got 1 or 2 that pull great amperage, but I'm just trying to look out for the not-so-regular 18th scaler.

Either way you guys choose to go, I'm cool with it... just happy to be racing !

The Orion or HPI are both fine with us for the race, especially given their availablity.

Thanks,

sounds good to me....i have plenty of both motors....
what are the dimensions of the track?

ncrcracing

Berm -

Overall the track will be roughly 30x25 feet but track width (in between barriers) will be about 40" wide in the narrow sections and up to 60" wide in the high speed areas and most straights.

Looks like we will have a 1/18th scale category. Plenty of interest from the local crew.

F1 is still unknown - no pre-registers yet.

Going to the 301 1/10th race and will hopefully plug our race more there.

Spectators will be welcome and will be eligible for premium raffle prizes with purhcase of tickets. Pre-registered drivers will get a a RC raffle prize ticket for each car entry and a single premium raffle prize ticket. Race day entries get only RC raffle prize tickets unless they buy additiaonl raffle tickets for premium prizes (e.g. autographed items and RTR kits).

Things are shaping up and looking good.

Hope to see you all there. Don't forget to pre-register to get your t-shirt and premium raffle prize ticket.

Salud!

Keep the rubber side down,

Many of you have asked and we should have posted this sooner.

Find attached list of specs for each category we are racing.

Any questions please get in touch.

Here you go drivers. Attached is the prelminary layout for next month's charity race.

This is a basic representation and we can already tell you that some sections will have sweepers rather than 90deg turns depicted. We will also be adding the bump outs for certain side rails where appropriate.

Any questions please get in touch.

The entries are now pouring in and it looks like we will have a great race.

He just needs a little proking to get his act together

Well this might sound a little strange but where can i get Mini-Z car (the DTM audi red bull sedan) from a local hobby shop? i live on the out side of columbia, in a smalll place called Clarksville, MD. i believe in supporting the hobby stores and i have not been able to find audi min-z r/c car on the shelves of the local hobby stores, any information would be greatly appreciated.

Also wheren can go an get the hop up for this type of car and what is available as a good and legal hop up? thank you in advance for your help.

ncrcracing

When it comes to local hobby shops carrying MiniZs you will have some slim pickings. The only one that I know of that will have any type of selection for this car is C Whitts down in Clinton (http://www.cwhits.com/). Its a drive but you won't find MiniZ stuff anywhere else but maybe Mimi's in Gaithersburg.
