Re: State Onroad Camps

yep, I have tested both here as well in preparation for the MN Champs. We'll see if I can hang with you guys :) I think 2 years ago we stayed at the Holiday Inn

Also, what is the motor combo for super stock sedan? or is it boosted 17.5?

Re: State Onroad Camps

Re: VTA

I wish we ran the same as everywhere else too but the class is so big in the cities it isn't worth messing with it. Didn't the real vta rules change to 2 cell with a 25.5 motor now? Yes, the 25.5 2s has been in use for over a year now. Well except for the ROAR Asphalt nationals and Indoor Champs an...

Re: Should we switch to blinky in stock 1/12?

Just a couple of comments on the "blinky" issue. While I am not a member of your club, I do travel around to different events running "stock", either 1/12 or sedan. As well as operating a shop/track. The class shift has been pretty pronounced in the Chicago,Detroit, Indianapolis ...

Re: Mini Cooper Thread

Guys, The available "hop-ups" really do nothing for performance and are more of a durability thing. The M05 has a couple of "weak" points in it's stock plastic parts, the steering rack being number one. The few aluminum "bling" parts in the pro kits really aren't needed...

Re: Mini Cooper Thread

Here's a link to the shocks. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGL65&P=7 I think the lower ride height without the hopity hop is worth it but not absolutely necessary. You can eliminate the bouncy bouncy with the friction shocks by using an ultra sticky synthetic/silicone gr...

Re: Mini Cooper Thread

With the new TCS rules out for Mini, #1016 premount, tires and how to build them correctly will no longer be an issue. I don't know what your guys thoughts on bodies are, from my experience here though, everyone likes something different. The Rover's, short , tend to have more steering and are "...

Re: Mini Cooper Thread

Hi Guys, IMO, it is far easier to follow the TCS Mini rules. The "new" stock esc is as fast as any other out there, we have guys running LRP's, Tekin micro's and what not here and they are no faster than the tamiya kit esc. Don't get caught up with the motors and if you feel it is neccessa...
