They do 13.5 SCT Friday night


Oops, Thursday night, not Friday

30 for a class? Sheesh that's a bit pricey. Can we go back in time please?

If it's 30 than I'm only racing 1 class. I'm not made of money guys.

Seems like Ill be visiting tomorrow for the first time, for buggy racing since this weekend they moved their Saturday buggy racing to Sunday due to a drift event I believe. I also think they got a restock of ProMotion rubbers. Getting the B74 and TLR ready tonight.

I went to First State this past Saturday for my first ever carpet race. I made a few changes to the 17.5 buggy before I went(was setup for clay) but I still need to try a few more changes. Long story short, I had a great time. Everyone there was great and I will be back for sure. Thinking about just leaving my 17.5 setup for carpet, I have other rc's I can use on the clay track.

Aprils Schedule. Will be down tomorrow if anyone else wants to come!

Yea I feel the same. For the clay track 2wd can slide out if going to fast. 17.5 is way too slow down that straight imo and some of the jumps, 17.5 doesn't have the speed and power to clear them unless you're running a more advanced setup or at full pin. Also I feel like 2wd 17.5 on carpet is way more easier to drive than on clay but it could just be me lol.

New layout finally! Pay attention to your car # they have marshal spots on the track 1-8 so if you don't marshal, right to jail!

 

[hood52]

I’m hoping to make it there this Saturday and learn the new layout.

New year new updates

Schedule for this month + now running onroad + new hours/days + new rules

This month:

Kyosho Fazer stock class:
Key Regulations
Chassis: Must be the Kyosho Fazer Mk2 (FZ02) platform. No cutting, shaving, or lightening of the chassis is permitted.
Motor/ESC: Stock Kyosho brushed motor and ESC (e.g., KA-60691W) required. Some clubs allow cooling fans.
Battery: 2S LiPo shorty or standard stick packs.
Gearing: Stock 68T spur and 32T pinion (48 pitch).
Tires/Wheels: Generally, rubber tires on spec spoke wheels, max 26mm width.
Body: Must use a Kyosho Fazer-compatible body.
Upgrades: Limited to specific Kyosho hop-ups, such as ball bearings, oil-filled shocks, and universal swing shafts.
Electronics: Any transmitter and servo are typically allowed.
Prohibited Modifications
No, locking differentials (must operate freely).
No, motor or ESC modifications.
No, extra weight/ballast added to the chassis.
No, electronic driver aids or gyros.
Note: Rules can vary by local track, particularly regarding whether they allow brushless upgrades for specific "pro" classes.

Offroad rules/classes:
Classes are remaining the same, although some rules have changed
-No carpet pin tires are allowed at this time (there has been some confusion of running new pins, or running pins to get them bald, it is still unsure to most people, I would contact RD if have any questions)
-Must run slick or bald tires, ie ProLine Bald Eagles, JCon Smoothies, any other "clay compound" slick
-SXT 3.0 compound/sauce is now allowed, but tires must be dry before going on track
-For 2/4wd buggies, must have shock tower protectors
-All classes must have chassis protectors
