This is my first post here at RCM. I thought, what better way to introduce my self than showing off my favorite ride. Its a Factory Team from before the first service pack was available. I ran nitro for a short while and then went electric. I like the electric much better because I run here on my backyard track often and dont want to bug the neighbors.

Feel free to ask questions.. Glad to be part of such a knowledgeable community!

i will be the first to welcome you to one of the best rc sites on the internet.
nice rc8

Hey Thanks! Tonights race made all 6 hours of prep time worth it. Finished 2nd in electric buggy at West Coast RC raceway! The buggy ran perfectly. Only a 7 minute main and 2 5 minute qualifiers.. What a great night. Im tired for now, and busy tomorrow, but eventually Ill look through my pictures and video and see what I can share...

Man that is a super nice track!!!! Looks like fun rain or shine!

[emaxxnitro]

wow you have a nice track. is it in a/c too? at least the track does not dry up in 5 min like here in texas.

Frank welcome as well.....a great track you have as well as a nice buggy!

Hey Frank - Welcome to the forum. Lots of good guys and info to be had here too. See you around!

Oh man, that track looks awesome! I would love to have something like that around here.

Nice buggy as well.

Good luck and have fun.

=) Thanks guys.. The track is not AC'd but by the time I got there to race (6:30) it was pretty cool inside. They had a few big fans around. The track surface is some kind of clay and they didnt water it all night, and it had great traction.

Slimthelineman... Which one are you? I did meet Max Power, and a few others but not sure which one you are.

Its a great track, for a lot of reasons. One reason that stands out - electric only! Which means my wife and kids could come out and enjoy watching and hanging out. I will be back to race soon but not this friday. I am thinking 2 weeks or so. Its a 2 + hours drive for me. That said, I cant wait to get back!

[emaxxnitro]

nice, it looks like a sandy clay...
my track is red clay. it sucks up the water fast!

Supposedly West Coast is about a half hour drive to 45mins for me, so I will have to show up for a race some time.

Nice looking buggy you got!

wednesday and friday at 7pm and from what i hear wednesday is supposed to be the big night. i usually go friday on the way home from work. they race sunday too i dont know what time. have no idea about the onroad schedule but you can practice on race days on the opposite track as long as you run 2.4.

good people and competitive racing, probably why i still am involved in this hobby after so many years

Not this Friday, but Ill be going back on Friday Aug 21. Cant wait!
