BITD on the HPI forum, there were quite a few of us that had a rally class going here in te NW as well as Cali and other places around the US. It was popular for a while but lost steam.

If you search some of the old HPI forums and HPI Challenge events, you will see footage of some RC Rally.

For s, we would race on the indoor offroad track. We followed similar rules as WRC as far as a point system. Even if the car broke, but was drivable, you still earned points. The majority of us ran RS4 Rallys, with a few TC3 conversions and Losi Rally cars added to the mix.

I've watched quite a few youTube vids of rally events from overseas and Im quite impressed. the courses and the realism of it all is impressive. I think I would have enjoyed the courses more if they were done like that. As a participant in local RallyX events and helping out with Stage rally, i can tell you that I wish it were still popular.

My RS4 Rally is hopped up w/ just about everything it can. I did convert it for drifting but its back in Rally trim now. I need to add some electronics and dust it off. Might have to find a way to make a rally course in my backyard.


Kudos to you!
