#1 tip for running Open SC at MMR...run SC10 stock tires. Best tire you can run on the Astro/RCP/Ice surfaces.
What kind of motors you guys running in open sc? Would a 17.5 be too slow?

17.5 would probably be ok, as long as it can clear all the necessary jumps...not sure what Andrew has planned, but it's possible you might want something in the 10.5 range (or even 13.5) so you're not short on power depending on the layout.

Was looking at this. The RTR comes with a receiver I can use and stuff I can sell to buy those tires.
Keep the tips coming please. I need all the help I can get

I would love to bring my xxx-sct out but your flyer doesn't indicate specifics like rules or classes and until I know the details I am not driving a hour and a half to find out. I have wanted to come to mmr for a while and this is why I don't.

For the 30 days...

Wednesday nights
Open 2wd SC
Open 2wd Truck
Open 4wd Buggy
Open 4wd SC
3 or more make a class (Slash, Mod Buggy, etc)

Friday Nights
Open 2wd Buggy
MMR Spec Slash
Stock 2wd Truck

Weekend Races
All of the above classes (and maybe 1/8e?)


If you have a XXX-SCT, you can run any motor/esc combo on Wednesday's and the weekend races.

Best readily available tire for SC would be stock SC10 tires. There are now Schumacher astro specific tires available for the Short Course trucks, but I don't believe anyone has tried them yet. The SC10 tires hook up very well though.

What other questions do you have?
