Tips for anyone wanting to try TC nitro at Goonies.

1) Single speed tanny is best, or dial your radio to 50% throttle - more control = faster laps.

2) Foam tires (40shore)

3) don't forget the nitro
sounds good...i hope i get mine till satyurday and get it running... :-) more than three make a class?

Default VTAs

I am just trying to get an idea of my plans for the weekend and was wondering if there are going to be any VTAs there this weekend? Last week was great with all the ones that ran....it would be great if we could have a similar show this weekend.

Weather for this weekend....

If Saturday gets rained out, which it looks like there is a good chance, I am thinking about having the make up race on Sunday afternoon.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Just wanted to chime in cause it seems everyone likes to plan race days on differ days as others and Idk if Yall was aware but hobbytown starts their parking lot racing Sunday. Then again it may not be any concern if any of Yall don't do that kinda racing. Just my 2 cents.

However though I've been wanting to make it out and see what the pan cars and vta's are bout. Just got into the whole rc thing this yr and looking to expand my fleet and racing options. Currently I run 2wd short course.
