2008 RC-Monster Bash Info

What do you guys think about 1/10th scale truggies, does that go in the 8th scale class or 1/12th?

Anyway I plan on coming, but don't have any electric conversions so you guys can walk all ove rme. Probably racing buggy, and truggy or monster truck haven't decided yet.

What's a 1/10th scale truggy?

I believe he is referring to the crt.5...it started out as a 1/12th scale, but, w/Mike's conversion, it ends up being a 1/10 scale and seeing that it is 4wd., they consider it a "truggy"

Presume LS10 or similar - With the CRT.5's I wuold imagine

I'll be taking my TC3 Truggy.

Yeah, I heard the weather may be crap. I need to do a lot of work, but I plan to bring my crt.5 and a 1/8 truggy. I may bring a nitro muggy to screw around with, but its not really a racer.

I'll bring my BPP just to mess around too. It's too heavy the way it is now to be a racer lol.

Do I need to bring my PT or will they be handing out their own transponders?

Bingo, it is 1/10th scale truggy out of the box, I owuld imagine it would be comparable to stretched CRT .5's?

Anyone mind if I run this in the 1/12 class?

So just for confirmation, does anyone have a problem with me running this thunder tiger in the 1/12th class?

Since I had the Dremel out to MOD my Mamba Monster, I decided to MOD my MBX5T to see if I could fit the Neu 1515/2Y finned without trying to grind the heat sink further. I had to cut the chassis just beneath where the motor goes, grind down the bearing support and that was it. I used a nice little mask to protect me from carbon fiber dust, but forgot to use a long sleeve shirt and now my arms itch like crazy. Well it worked out good. I love the Dremel. I changed my gearing from a 15/48 to a 17/48 to get some more top speed. So I went up from 35mph to 40mph. I hope temps stays down. I'm going to do a test run tomorrow to see how it goes. I'm also going to take my 1515/1.5Y and my first version ESC too incase I need a back up.

The Barn has house transponders but if you have a personal, that's totally the way to go.

Cool, thank you.

I would love to go. :/ Can I go up there any day of the week and use the track? I'm up there quite often, in fact, I was up that way today.
