Mindboggling that no one posted this up from the LRP race in Germany. Granted there were running 17.5 in the cars

The Classic Challenge is a very popular class too. Its retro look body shells give the cars their special appearance, while the speed in this class is moderate. Racing is nice to look at and exciting.
Classic Challenge
Two B-final and three A-final heats were on schedule. Dominating driver of the B-final was Jens Phetchumsaeng with two victories. The A-main was won by Niklas Engelmann ahead of Frank Schmitz and Matthias Poggensee.

Now if we can just get them to put the 25.5 in

Is this really the best VTA video of the year?

In my opinion it's kinda boring.

This video is pretty cool. It looks like Vintage Trans Am is really growing in Germany.
There are a couple cool shots of VTA cars racing at the start of this video...

It's also cool to hear what some German R/C enthusiasts think about vintage cars.

I just found out that there is a track nearby that runs Vintage Trans-am. Being a huge fan of SVRA racing and the Group 6 cars especially, I have decided that my TC3 that had been collecting dust in the corner will be put into action. I am painting an HPI 1966 Mustang GT Coupe Body to look like the #1 Mustang of Dr. Dick Thompson and Jack Sutter. Wheels and tires are ordered. I was planning on purchasing the Novak Edge / Ballistic 25.5 setup. I have read all of the posts on the USVTA Part 2 Forum and look forward to the wealth of info from the older posts. I am looking forward to getting the car completed.

I see where the rules state no more than a 5000mah 7.4v Hardcase Lipo, in an 8 minute race about how much mah is left in the battery? I am thinking that I don't need to spring for a couple 5000mah packs right off the bat.

Thanks again for the wealth of information.

We run 6 min heats and an 8 min main. Usually after 6 min i am putting about 1500 mah back in at the most as long as there is no binding in the car anywhere. i have 4 packs, but I use the same pack for every race. You could almost get away with without charging for 2 races, but I do anyway. If your smooth on the throttle you won't use too much, but if your on and off constantly you might use more then 1500.

Good to know. Have you ever tried using a lower mah battery? I know with the old Nimh packs there was a pretty big difference in weight between the high capacity and the low ones.

We are required to have 1550 grams of weight so that is not a good reason to go with a lower capacity lipo. However some have noticed more punch and better performance with the lower capacity battery so if there is a reason to try lower capacity battery then I would say that is it.

mhelli1975

Thanks for the tip about the possible better punch and performance. I need to paint the shell tomorrow and go over the car tomorrow. Just read about 25 pages from VTA Part 1 and it was real interesting reading. I thought all the excitement happened on track.

Historically the drama that is posted on the thread never shows up at the track. At least thats my experience. When you are home online you can bitch about opinions and rules, but at the track everybody wants to race and thats what the track day is about.
