    Just thought I would share a couple of quick videos I took from our trip to RC Excitement yesterday so those that have not been can check it out. Had a fun time. If you have not been and have been wanting to I would suggest checking it out. Not to bad of a drive either we left Windham area at 7:30 and were there at 9:45

    Did you run any sc trucks? Been there an run a slash, sc10, t4, an my E-MAXX. They all were a blast. You would never think you would need to run tire compound on dirt.

    Ya we ran both 2wd and 4wd SC trucks, I brought my stadium and the vids are of Josh's 1/8 buggy. Definitely need the indoor clay specific tires otherwise its just a little bit better than driving on ice.

    U still have yours? Im going to pass on the 1/10 buggy for this year and go with the 1/8 buggy instead. Had a lot of fun with his now I need one!

    It look's like there will be some 1/8th electric buggies this season,and it looks like on a regular basis.
    On Sunday racing i am not afraid to combine electric and nitro together to make a class.

    I am shooting for the first Sunday in May for opening day.Weather permitting.Maybe even sooner if the weather stays warm.It won't take much to get the track ready this season.There still a good foot of snow on the track but some of the piping and banked corner are starting to show through. cheers

    Just a reminder as we come into the new season ,always support your local hobby shop!

    I looked for used 8ight-e's used rc8be's used vorza's etc etc couldn't find much of anything. I ended up picking up a RC8Be on ebay for a pretty good price but ill need to sell off a couple of my trucks I don't use to fund the motor, esc, and servo to get it up and going. Could be a little while, hopefully by first of may though, we'll see.
