Default RC Driver Stock Amain

Heres a little video i put together of the stock Amain with chris Proctor hunting down Brandon (The Sensei) .D I really think Proctor could smell blood from The Sensei.

We race on wednesday nights, and Saturdays starting at 12:00. SCT class is usually larger on Sat's. We use ROAR Spec rules for SCT. If you Losi is out of the box no worries its legal. But your allowed to go up to a 17.5 brushless motor, any 2s lipo, any SCT tire any SCT body, and any chassis mods allowed.

Ah I have been waiting for a vid of the track. Pretty cool layout and I'm always a fan of over/under setups.

What rear tire is the most commenly used on the SCTs? I have some Goosebumps right now but I'm looking to mount up a set of M3 Calibers as well. Looking for a reason to buy a set. I hope all works out that I can make the long drive out in the last week on Feb to try out the track.

I have a Strike and a Slash that I can run. I know my buddy does extremely well with his Slash when it comes up. His is the Slash that has a Blitz body on it. My Stike works pretty good so will be interesting to take it to a different track and see how it does. I know they have problems with them but 99% of the bugs are worked out of mine and its been very reliable.

I think most are using calibers in 2wd SCT's. 4wd seem to work really good with goosebumps.

Good to know. Thanks. Have to say the track looks like a ton of fun from the video. Think I will watch it again.

I have raced Slash, Blitz and Strike at RCHR and can give you a competitive run down of the three. The Strike is competitive on RCHRs track although design flaws and breakage have caused me to disect my Strike for parts and throw away most of it. There are some big jumps which the Strike excels at, but the down side is there are several hairpin turns, and the longer wheel base of the Strike is a hinderance for the tight turns of indoor racing. The Blitz is the most competitive and tunable out of the box, but the Slash can keep up when you switch to the protrac suspension, aftermarket CVD set, and better shocks.

Peter, I beleive I met you at LIR for the trophy race not long ago.
I talked with you about the outdrives. Wasnt that you?
I will be coming by on Saturday, I also have my old setup sheet for the Strike that worked good on RCHR track. Basically jumst use different back tires. I always used Goosebumps and works well. I work on Sat but come by afterward to chat.

See you then if your racing, Ill look for you. You drove well at LIR and should do well at RCHR ! Watch out for PROCOR...He's not human. (Yellow HPI)
