Futaba, Sanwa, KO, and Spektrum.


All the same stuff, except newer models. Airtronics is now Sanwa. Spektrum is getting better at "good" radios.

The cheaper radios are actually quite good nowadays.

PDX RC Underground is going carpet!!! After polling our racers, we have decided to make the change to carpet. This means that Albany, Salem, and us will be running the same surface!! We are planning on having it done the week of the 15th. Stay tuned!!

Hey the big rc
What you think will be the major difference (for drivers) between the current astroturf and the new carpet surface?
Besides popularity (the polls are to be taken seriously), what made you decide to go in this direction?

Thx and keep up the good work at PDXRCUnderground.com

You will have more traction, less sliding. That means heavier oil and sway bars. After seeing the poll data, and I also looked at who voted. The racers at the track want carpet. Knowing the other two tracks in the area are the same carpet, it makes sense. No set up changes between tracks. I want to grow the hobby, and this seems like a good thing.

Also, no more green fluff!!!

Hey the big rc
Do you guys sell pre-mounted tires for your new carpet surface at the track?
I'm thinking of heading out there for practice this Sunday and want to know if I should get a set of fronts ahead of time or not.

Thx
