Video - Electric vs Nitro Truggy race

[MetalMan]

No competition! The nitros looked like they were getting in your way.

Oh yeah, I still want to go to Wolcott regularly. I went up there a few weeks ago on a Sunday and there was not enough guys to race! I know they all were out chasing trophies - and that's got it's place - but I'm just a little more into the weekly club race scene. Plus I really like the Saturday afternoon racing. I've got time to get some stuff done around the house, hit the race and still have all day Sunday to recoup before work starts on Monday. Friday night would never work for me, I'm too spent from the week, Friday night is "date" nite with my wife.

Pin Shop is cool but when I need to air the truck out, I'll be up at Wolcott.

You should talk with the 1/10th guys and see if you guys can try out Pin Shop one Saturday. It would be nice to have more diversity of vehicles there.

Most of the 10th scale stuff is now at the rchr track in waterbury. We run indoors on a 75x45 track. Its a very nice track and usually get about 20 guys on a wednesday night and I think about the same on saturdays.

Wolcott hobby's is much bigger as you know and basically all 8th scale. They closed there indoor track after the winter season ended.

What time is racing at oakville? If it starts late enough maybe I will check it out when I get the e-revo. Do they limit you at all on the electric conversions? I am looking at going 6s on a 1515 3d motor and want to make sure they dont limit you to 4s like the pro series does (atleast I think that is there rule).

thanks

I know about Mark W's place there, it looks very nice, I didn't realize that his time on Sat is a direct conflict with Pin Shop...oh well, maybe if the weather is nice and you guys want to come outside to play, give it a shot.

As for limitations, there are none. Remember, it is a small track so having huge power or speed will actually hurt you here. Most of the Nitro guys have that problem, way too much speed into the corners...you should see the "MT" class guys, lots of 28's in LSTs and such which are just out of control.

Hope to see you there sometime.

I am looking at 6s just to get the benefits of hv. Not really to get anymore power just run cooler and more efficent. I would run the 1515 3d motor which is only 1360kv.

That track looks alright. Not to many jumps, kinda reminds me of xtreme's in new milford. How big is it anyways? Looks to be about the same size as new milfords was.

Anyways what time do they start? If its before 1pm then I really cant make it. I have to wait for the other half to come home to take care of the little one.

Good stuff. You're a pretty good driver too, so I'm sure that's in your favor;). The BL truggy does look like it has plenty of pep though!

Smooth driving - most of the nitros seemed to be having a lot issues with the course.

u seemed slower actaully. the nitros cleared the jumps by heaps, and you could just brake, and turn and get in front of them that way! (esp with this closest corner...) nice job, i hope i can be that good sometime soon (consistant!)
A+

and i liked the fact i could actaully see what was happening... good camera crew :D

Otherwise known as "going too fast for the course".
