I'll be bringing mine, and also my 1/8 electric. I've got some worn out tires that should work fine & not tear up the carpet.

Sweet. I'm hoping this class might take off over the winter, it was a blast driving mine last weekend. That size buggy seems to run fantastic there

Going down there tomorrow to build a couple of things for the off road. I think you guys will enjoy this.

Sweet, I am so pumped I can't see straight (much less drive)!! Can you give us an idea what ya'll decided on, or is it going to be a surprise?

I have been thinking about Kennys idea about an undertray class for the SCTs. That would really be cool. Man, those things handle so differently without the body on!

You mean overtray? If so, they call that class 2wheel buggy (B4 or B4.1)

As I said, overtray class! OK S.A.! You are correct, but $20 for an OVERtray is much cheaper and easier for people to stomach than a whole buggy. Even cheaper than resurrecting my old XXCR (not that I haven't thought about it).

I am scoping a couple 4wd 1/10 buggies in ebay at the moment. Your B44 was just too cool. You run the 5700 in yours, correct? Do they require that much HP, or were you getting room to spare (or just compensating....)?

I am so psyched about Sat. It sounds like there will be a pretty good turn out.

That is just the motor that I had laying around, couldn't see buying another one. For that indoor track it is probably way overkill, just how I like it

We decided to use the back straight on the oval, go into turn 3 and immediately turn in towards the infield, jump over the drop in 3&4 into the center, there will be a whoop section there to the drop off into 1&2 then back out onto the front straight.

I'd like to run this, but I also want to run oval sat night. But don't know if I can afford to buy mine and my brothers way into run trucks and oval... Be nice if they would do a deal if u ran 2 classed in off road and 2 in oval, it was 40 bucks, that would be like 10 a entry?

Reason 1486 why I need to find a cheaper hobby.
I won't be running Saturday - gotta change the oil in the cars before it gets any colder and do things non RC related for a weekend. Might actually be able to build some ramps for the house as well if I have some time.

Carpet is down in the infield and the ramp is built. Paint and carpet will be installed on the ramp tomorrow. Track will be open at 10:00. Racing starts at 11:30. There will be a discount if you run the offroad in the morning then your oval entry will be $10.
