R/C Racing at the Cruise Inn??? Your input needed!

Adam Boca · 01-02-2002, 07:05 PM

I just wanted to see who here would be interrested in some R/C racing at the Corvette Forum Cruise Inn. I need serious reply's as this will cost a few $$$ to get setup if we decide to do it. Who here would be interrested??

Please post what kind of car you have such as:

Nitro
Super Nitro
Electric

Thanks!

I have an electric top fuel dragster, 1/10th scale. Last time it ran, it pulled a 70 MPH pass...and did 132ft in 1.88 seconds, and stoped in under 150 feet.

I also have a off-road truck. Its in a lot of peices right now, its to slow for me anyway. :jester

:cheers:

My buds and I will probably bring ours along but will most likely not officially race. We are just your parking lot bashers :smash:

Cruise-in III without a drag... The tragedy!

Adam, sounds like a great idea.. What kind of track are you thinking of.. I have a nitro truck, nitro road car and an electric stadium truck.. Just want to know which to bring?? :seeya

Mean Green · 01-02-2002, 09:07 PM

you know I'm in Adam...although my car is not fast enough to win anything, I'm brining it and the real fun should be seeing the paint job :D

I'll help out any way possible and that includes $$$ :)

Mean Green · 01-02-2002, 09:08 PM

and btw, it's an electric 1/10th C5R :)

Adam Boca · 01-02-2002, 09:23 PM

What I am thinking about is an Auto-X deal. I am tring to get a proposal together for the events persons.

One car on the track at the time. Best time wins. We already have the timing equip.

I think this is the best way to do it....

My car definitely isn't competitive.... it's an old Tamiya Frog that I somehow converted to on-road use with a Porsche body.

Oh wait, I do have the stiffened suspension, ball bearings all around, Trinity Stock motor and Futaba ESC. I'm gonna tear up the payment!! Gimme a Type R sticker and I'll waste all you Nitro guys! :lol:

mjmsc5 · 01-02-2002, 09:50 PM

I was actually thinking of getting a nitro C5-R, and if I do, i'm in as long as it doesn't interfere with the real racing.

Rkreigh · 01-02-2002, 10:58 PM

this is a great idea. I take my ZR1 out when I race the nitro RC cars. I have one on road TEC II and one off road buggy and they are a blast.

we use old firehose to set up a "impromptu" track.

I won't be able to make BG until the next ZR1 gathering but if you continue this tradition I will certainly bring my RC cars!!! great fun. :jester

All I got is some cheap old Tamiya cars.

My Blackfoot with the Lexan body flys, my Bullhead can "crush" the competition, while my bruiser is just a cruiser.

I agree. I don't have an R/C car, but I think it would be a cool and unique addition to the cruise in. Just so long as it doesn't reduce the amount of time we have for autocrossing the real Corvettes. :yesnod:

Adam,

I don't own any R/C cars. If Frank brings his, can I race him with my new toy with the 502 and 300 shot of nitrous? :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:

When? Any size limits? I have a pump gas (sunoco) 1/4 scale Nascar stock car.(yes thats 4' long) full moly tube frame, adjustable coil overs, disk brakes, 2000 Ford Taurus body work.

bogus · 01-03-2002, 01:21 AM

it should not cost a lot...

all you will need is a parking lot and some barriers... check with the bowling green area, or I can, and find if there is a racing club in the area.

they might just have the lap counters and provide some more racers. I like the idea of making it a joint event with the local group... it would make it real fun for everyone.

Having run an RC track,I know what it takes to make this happen...if you need help, please, contact me... abbogus@yahoo.com

by the way, I have an Associated TC3... with any number of bodies to choose from!!!

I have the HPI Super Nitro with the Silver/Black C5R body. The thing was the only speed release that I had while the Vette was down for the tranny rebuild. Now I just need to put the bigger motor in and get the handling sorted out.

BubbleHead · 01-03-2002, 11:27 AM

I'll bring my truck, that thing flies for a 4x4.
