Is this "race what you brung"?

Yup. We do stock Losi Nascar races in between "effin' around" races. It's all for fun and trying to get younger generations into RC.

 

[Smilinbri]

I like those losi stock cars. Are they 4wd? COuld I build one out of a Traxxas 4tec?

Yes 4wd.

Probably not. The Nascars are smaller.

where do you get RC Talk stickerz?

Give @WoodiE a PM and he will hook you up.

 

[Smilinbri]

How much to build that NASCAR? Also, where do you get RC Talk stickerz? I'll fly them on my Heisenburg Cup cars.

The one I upgraded to 3s....couple hundred

Where can I get that 57 bel aire body? The blue with white top. Thtat's dope

Thats a Kyosho Fazer. Not mine.

How much for one of these warlocks? Also, how to build as tested?

Don't know what a warlock is.

I'm gonna start charging you for answers. Lol

I would bring a TF3 carbon to that track... maybe a nitro rally too.

This looks like a blast!!! I'd LOVE to race here!!!

How did I miss this thread???

Me and my old Heisenburg Cup league are seriously talking about starting a NASCAR league here. I'm thinking a bone stock league, and maybe later, a modified league that allows you to upgrade using only Losi parts.
Mike, you're invited. $209 from Losi, free ship.
Can anyone except Bri tell me if the 20 minute on 1 battery run time is accurate?

Thanks! Maybe some day I'll take a road trip!

15-20mins with stock car. They aren't very fast, so battery lasts a good bit. When we race em, last one standing wins. lol

Had another great time at Tayneytown Sundays. Only a few weekends left as it's getting chilly in the morning. lol

Decided to throw some Hoons on the Vorteks. It looks so funny but actually ran ok for not adjusting it from dirt track setup to road. I only had 2 Silvers and 2 gold hoons. lol. I'm gonna get some 14-17 wheel converters and put some bigger hoons on it.

Also got some Amazon tires for the Mojave Grom. They took a bit to warm up and hook but after it did they worked pretty well.

 

[CertifiedMike]

I could not commit to the commute. I LOVE this idea tho!!!

 

[CertifiedMike]

I was kind of counting on you as a guest once in a while.

I'll do my best!

Does anyone have one of these Losis with the brushless upgrade kit https://www.horizonhobby.com/produc...-receiver-combo-4500kv-nascar/SPMXSEMC25.html
Is the car able to handle that extra power, or is it like cramming a 454 into a Pinto and basically having no brakes or handling capability?

If you put 8 big block Pintos on a track to race at once... theres NO WAY I'm missing THAT!!!

 

[Smilinbri]

Handles well, just need adjustments and throttle control to keep it from running squirrely. I run 2s sometimes as it's still faster than a brushed and easier to control around an oval track. Not sure how fast as it's not a speed run car for me. That's what my 8s Felony and 6s stretched Typhon are for.

 

[Smilinbri]

Does anyone know what the battery connector is called on this car? IC2? IC3?

IC2.

U should start your own thread about your Nascars journey. This one is for my adventures at this local track/event. Thanks!

 

[Smilinbri]

Sorry 'bout that.
I cleared all my posts here, pick this one up tomorrows.
Thanks for the advice on NASCARs

No worries and u didn't have to clear prev posts. Just wanted u to get your own thang so we can follow your Nascar build.

The Tayneytown RC Sundays started up a couple weeks ago. This past Sunday they had their 1st Annual RC Palooza!! Had a blast!!

 

[Doom!]

Cool to see events like this popping up.

 

[Smilinbri]

It Finally didn't rain last weekend, so had a blast at Taneytown, despite some big fat *uck started screaming at me across the parking lot bc my 6s stretched Typhon got too close to one of his little cars on the track. I was never running on the track, just drove the edge to head towards a photographer. He lost it, but then apologized 5mins later for his outbreak. If I didn't love going there weekly, I would have made a scene too, but instead I bit my lip, kept telling him to chill out and he made himself look like an idiot. Big baby.

Anywho, besides that, had a blast!!

I would have given him a left, right, left, then hit him in the head with my RC... But you stayed out of jail so I guess thats ok too.

You got some AWESOME shots of those trucks!!! Looks like a real fun time!!!
