james, we will be running E buggy on Sundays and Trophy events. There are some restrictions though. 1950 kv motor is the biggest allowed, and 3s lipo only. There will be a spec tire, and that will be decided this week. An all out buggy is just wayyyyy too fast inside.

That sounds good. I have a T8 1900kv in it, but only have 4s lipos, so i'll have to grab a few 3s.

Temps are dropping, and racing season indoor is getting hotter. Remember Friday nights is a point series night. I believe #6 out of eight. Come on out and play boys.

Default ROAR Regional Results

Here are the results from Regionals from this past Sunday. Thank you to all that came. I'm sure someone will notice that the EBuggy Amain is not posted. The results were not in the computer. I will have to check see if there is a hard copy at the shop and if there is scan it and upload it.

Eric, we typically get a full heat of both classes.

Also just a reminder for everyone this Friday is a point series race. The series had 2 weeks off but is back this week till the end of the series.

John, Prolite is definately a class! I have a bunch of the Tekno conversion kits inbound, they should be here by friday.

That will be a different class from 1/8 buggy. I am posting the rules for the classes within the next day or so. That class looks to be killer!

I don't remember if this question was answered yet but IS the indoor track being sugared for extra traction? Is there more grip than when I attended the Mid Winter Champs?

What maniac would run a 3s pack in 4wd SC?!?. They're fast enough on 2s! Imagine a Tekin Pro4 4600kV on 3s? If you didn't balloon the tires off the rims, you'd likely fold the chassis in half after drilling into the wall at the end of the straight. Of course I guess that's half the fun...
