Tomorrow is Saturday, green, green, green.... Can't wait to get out there and run in circles again, it is verry addictive. is Team Riley ready to rumble?

Team Riley's first race didn't happen due to radio issues. Tried different channels, different recievers, different radio systems, and still had glitching. The car was searched over today, including the engine. The only thing that worked was Andrew's 3PK PCM radio. It was fine with that in, and I was able to drive the car up and down the street. I still havn't tried 27mhz reciever and module yet, I'll try that tomorrow. If that doesn't work, i'll have to get a 3PK with PCM.

Too bad you had radio issues Riley, It iw very frustrating not to be able to race when you want to. I hope you will be at the track this Saturday though. Might as well start thinking about a road course set-up.

i hope to have the car running in the next couple days where i can actually drive it. then i'll be able to get some practice time in with it for saturday. i really want to make it and race, i want to be one more person that can promote fifth scale racing in the area.

Sounds great to me, these cars are just incredibly fun to drive and race, I find myself drawn more and more into 1/5 and loosing osme interst in the little toy cars, I never thought that would happen, but what do you know... Next year we should have 20 F1:s on the track

I can run the F1 now, and I didnt have to get new radio gear. I had a bad motor. The car ran beautifully when the motor was switched out, no glitching at all. I'll be able to make the big race Saturday, but unfortunally I won't be able to make the next race a Hideaway because I'll be on vacation. I totally agree with you Fredrik, these cars are so cool. I too have lost interest in the little cars and am more drawn to fifth scale. -- I havnt even been able to run mine to its capiblity yet and I'm saying that. Then again, my interest was always there on the back burner, just nobody ran 1/5 until now. I wish I would have bought the F1 right away with you guys. I can't wait to see this class continue to grow. 20 F1s on the track would be incredible. I would love to see things grow to the point that we'll be running 1/5th touring cars at the other track. I know I'd buy a comp or maybe even a comp evo. Maybe after winter I'll be able to.

how do these 1/5th scales fare after they hit a wall?? Are they fairly durable or do they need to go on a jig for straightening after a hard crash..

stronger than any pther car i have drivin.. including the snake.. a wide open hit in the cement wall at hideaway will usually cost you about 9.60 in parts... and take a few minutes to repair

Must be solid framework and then the outer cheaper parts brake, there always has to be a weak link somewhere to protect the rest, sounds like a well thought out car if thats all that brakes in a hard crash. Is it something made inhouse at Hideaway or another manufacture?
