Winter on-road

[Hypedonrc]

I only got to drive my MTX-3 a couple of times last year, and not at all on a track. It is my first on=road, and I'm kind of jonesing to drive it soma more. Especially since I painted an HPI Home Improvement Saleen body for it. Didn't put any Home Improvement stuff on it though. Hope to have a Digi after X-Mas sometime. Hopfully for X-Mas, but I'm not holding my breath. Anyways, how do you on-road guys make it thru the winter? Anyone race indoor on-road nitro, or do you just do electric?

The only thing at the track near me is indoor electric micro racing.

 

[Hypedonrc]

Yeah I do nitro off road indoors in the winter. I don't think there is an indoor nitro on-road around here. Just wondered if anyone did, as I know there are quit a few on-road only guys in the forum.

Not too many nitro indoors here in the big apple. I race onroad carpet. This is my first time doing carpet and all I can say is that it is fun. The cars move and handle like a dream, when setup is on the money.

 

[Hypedonrc]

I've seen some video of carpet racing. Man that is fast. Especially the 1/12 scale cars. Closest place with that to the Columbus area is Cleveland, and that is a bit far. Plus I don't have a electric. I wonder why there is alot of off road indoor nitro, and not much, if any on road indoor nitro.

 

[RCDad]

I don't know if I'd want to go to a nitro indoor event. I started my car a couple times in the back of the house and boy, I stunk the whole house up. Wife/kids complained!

 

[Hypedonrc]

It's not bad if the barn is big enough. The barn at my local track is about 60X200 with I'm guessing 16 foot ceilings.

I do some 1/18th carpet racing for the winter. Too cold and no tracks to run the nitro's on the East coast.

When I had my RS4, I ran it whenever there wasn't any snow on the roads. Went into some snow banks a fwe times because I was just learning last winter. Don't have any on-road anymore except for a Micro, I will just race that inside. (Hasn't come yet )

HypedOnRc, would you post a link to that carpet racing video?

 

[Hypedonrc]

It's not on the web. A couple of my buddies went up there, and shot a little video with an analog cam. Sorry, I'm not that good to convert it to digital, and find a host for it.

 

[R40Victim]

Oh well... I have a decent digi cam, that also shoots minute long videos, that play on Windows Media Player. I'm gonna try and get some footage this weekend.

 

[Hypedonrc]

Good luck. I've only seen one digi cam video, and it wasn't all that great. Could have been the cam though. I don't know. The picture wasn't bad, it was just real choppy. Let us know how it turns out.
