Default Track Change Help

************************************************** ************************************************** *************************** The track change will begin at 8 am sharp tomorrow Saturday morning. Monster Joe got us the Bobcat (he always comes through for us). ************************************************** ************************************************** ***************************


Mario, Nick (B4), Tom Licata, Myself and Monster will be helping with the change over. Please PM me or see me tonight during racing if anyone is available to help with the change. Mario will be in charge the entire time and myslef and Tom will be assiting with the proper proportions and bumps and jumps layout. Thanks to Steve for the bumps, washboard and contour additions.

Steve Plakis and Mike Garramone, could really use your expertise with the track building. If your not available I completely understand , but your help is always a huge addition to the track installation.

As most of your already know a certain (unnamed) Losi driver was the Foreman for the last track change which was done in 2 days with no problems at all and the breakdown and build out was done in a orderly fashion, in fact I believe it was a pleasure for everyone involved. He is unavailable this time but we will follow his routine for the teardown and buildout. This track change will be done in the same exact fashion and I will oversee the entire process while Mario creates and impliments the agreed design and structure. Racing will resume on schedule on Tuesday and we may possibly be open on Monday, our normal day off. I will keep you posted.

Let me know who's available
Thanks for your help guys

You dont have to. But if shaving 5mm and flipping them around is mangling then I guess so.

Dont you have to drill a hole in you chassis The size of a quarter so you don't snap the crank shaft on your engine?

Do you guys carry any rc18 parts? I'm thinking of getting for my son. I think 1/10 is too big and fast for him

I know you want open Monday so everyone can try new layout BUT,wouldnt it be better to let it go thru at least 1 watering drying cycle before its raced walked and stooomped on ? Besides the fact that the track is a mess the day after a layout change. It would be much easier for Mario (NICK) to clean the pits put tables back without having to stop for customers. Also maybe after long weekend in the heat may want some slow time. Just me talking like TOM woulsd say what do I know ? LOL

Thats the best part of the track. Everything else changed and the jumP placement is nothing like the sheet I drew up.
