Thanks Mark and Freddy
Do you actually race all 4 days? Or is there a lot of practice time built in?

Were should I look for parts besides here and eBay for a Kyosho Scorpion and Tamiya Hotshot? More concerned about parts for the Scorpion. Anyone have anything for sale?

The Scorpion may be interchangable parts. What is needed.

I would also like to have some spare parts but those 2 things are all I need to get it going.

Do you guys race with vintage wheels and tires or do you find new stuff that will fit?

Current wheels if they can be adapted.

Have fun tonight all...

Mr. Mom duty today so no racing in my forecast this evening

Looking forward to hear who gets shaked....and who gets baked. I'm guessing LB & BD will be burnt to a crisp by 10:30 tonight.

According to Rc10Talk.com this years vintage race may be bigger than we expect. Im looking to really enjoy these vintage whips and lay down some BAKE at this event.
