1) Do you only accept cash for the entry fee?
2) I'll be scrambling to put my shortcourse truck together over the next couple of nights and won't really have time to test it out. If something breaks or the truck stops working for whatever reason during the event, would I be able to switch to my other car for the next heat?
3) I'm guessing there aren't many restrictions in the Sportsmen class. Do you see any issues with my setup?
Arrma Fury 2WD, Traxxas Velineon 3500kv, TowerPro 996 servo, Pro-line Scrubs T M3, Zippy 2S LiPos
Backup car: Vaterra Glamis Uno Desert Buggy
Thanks in advance.
Glad you are coming down! I can't answer number 1 as I don't work at the shop but as for 2: sportsman class is a "run what ya brung" class so there shouldn't be an issue switching cars if something broke. Also there is about a 3 hour window of time between doors opening and the 1st qualifying round, so you should have a good amount of time to run on the track and test things out should a problem arise.
The answer for number 2 also somewhat answers your 3rd question. It's "run what ya brung" so pretty much anything goes. Your car or anything else really doesn't matter as long as your not just competent blowing away the competition in which case you may be asked to move into a better suited class for your skill. You should be good to go though!
