RC Racing

[Latnballer]

Anyone else into it?
I used to race electric back in 95 when I lived in L.A and was pretty good at it.
Got back into it here, bought a 1/8 RC8 Nitro buggy and found a nice off-road track in Cutler Ridge. A few guys were there practicing and I was able to hang with them considering I haven't driven in years.

[Yani]

mikey races electric indoor and i've been to the track in homestead to watch the on road cars a few times but don't personally race.

[Mikey]

I'm into it. I just got an electric buggy for the track in cutler ridge. But I've raced on road gas/electric and indoor electric

[Latnballer]

Nice Mikey, what did you get.
These new brushless systems are fast as hell. Making alot of the gas people convert over to electric. The Cutler Ridge track is open Thurs-Fri-Sat. $10 to practice. I'll probably go out there on Thursday. The owner of the track is the owner of Extreme Hobbies on Bird. Nice guy, helped me tune the engine. He said he's going to start doing races there pretty soon.

[Mikey]

I got a losi 8e

I know the guys that run it. They're good people

[Latnballer]

Cool, stop by on thursday...i'll probably be there around 7pm.

[Yani]

Hey Miley... Can I drive it :D

[Mikey]

Hey Miley... Can I drive it :D

Sure, but if you break it, you fix it

[Yani]

Sure, but if you break it, you fix it

Works for me.

[Yani]

Wait...


You didn't fix my plane

[Mikey]

Wait...


You didn't fix my plane

You didn't fix my cup holder

[Mafia_Insurance]

Who's Miley?

[Yani]

You didn't fix my cup holder

fuuuuuuuuuuu

[Eric@TCGMiami]

I have a Khyoso Ferrari F430... tires keep exploding :(


I attempted to make tires but I cannot find anything large enough and smooth perfect circle to make it so till i find the item, it's on standby.

Did some research on your car and tire problem... this is what I found...
Standard size 17mm hex hubs attach the wheels to the driveshafts. Special wheels with low-profile tires are included with the car, but any street or 1/8 buggy tire will adapt to the Inferno GT.

[Eric@TCGMiami]

Yup, but the body of the Ferrari is too fkn low profile...

So i'd have to run the rc car with no shell.

[Mikey]

or cut the body to allow for the tire size.

I would have to cut the fenders off completely

:sadbanana:

[Latnballer]

It was packed tonight. Broke the driver side A-Arm when I hit a cement light-post mid air.

[Mikey]

i did not make it out. i still need to get some batteries.

[Latnballer]

If I can find the part I need at Warricks or RC Hobbies Inc, in Broward then I'll be back out there tonight.

[eviltwin]

this thread has made me ask my boy to bring me my rc car that was given to me by tuckinall4's before he passed away. he told me if i could get it runningi could keep it. never messed with it till he passed away. works now.

[imadreamer1226]

Where exactly is this joint in cutler ridge again? I think my son would love to watch these things go around.

And mebbe I can find someone to fix my road car for friendship lulz. :dunno:

[Latnballer]

It's right where 211th st, US1 and 117th ave meet. On the east side of US1 inside the dade neighborhood garbage collection center.

what motor are you running on the inferno?

[imadreamer1226]

Is there a site where I can see track times and such? Or is pretty much an open all the time?

[Eric@TCGMiami]

what motor are you running on the inferno?

Picco P3 .28 with the 2mm carb/venturi.

Two Speed (forgot what gears) throttle set to 15 % if I go 100% of the 15% throttle the stock tires explode.

what about foam rubber tires?



have you tried something liek this:

Yes, I gave them to my brother he has a stock Inferno with the WRX body. Since it has a different shell design it is lifted higher and doesn't interfere with the shell. Unlike the F430 shell it's much lower just looks completely out of place. Since I have ceramic breaks on the car, whenever you hit the brakes the front dives in and krrrrrrrrrrrr or in Gucci Mayne's way... BURRRRRR

the foam tires can be trued down.

although, you would have to get a tire truer...

[Eric@TCGMiami]

They worked great though without the body... just sort of pointless to get the F430 shell....


I think I found a solution, Going to test it and see how it works soon.:fingersx: Just need a bit of time.

[B16da9]

I use to do this back in the late 90's. Any one know if tropical park still has their on road track?

thats long gone, at least 8 years.



i used to race gas on-road back then.

I've been out of it a long time. I sold both my gas and electric cars when I got the Integra and used the money to buy stuff for it.

Hell I had an airtronics M8 radio that thing was bad ass but I'm sure it way outdated by now.

[Mikey]

yep, if its not fasst or spectrum, gtfo with that antenna

[Latnballer]

Is there a site where I can see track times and such? Or is pretty much an open all the time?

Its usually open Thur and Fri 7-11pm and Sat 4-11pm. I get a text from the owner to confirm when they're open. Sometimes when it rains too much it floods and they have to treat the track. He has also been doing some work on the pit area and the driver stand. Actual racing is almost ready to happen. He got a vendor out there with pinchos and other food items this week.
It was awesome last night...the track was hooking up. I might go now..just got to fix the exhaust pipe that came off.

[Latnballer]

lawl...my rtr came with a fm system so I'm running that till my servos and transmitter go to shit.

[Mikey]

I'm running spectrum. Although, I might get rid of the losi for an associated or hpi. I'm up in the air right now

[Latnballer]

Pain in the ass to get Associated parts last minute though. Warrick's or RC Hobbies has the most around here. Other than that it's on the internet.
Good thing about my RC8 is that it has a conversion kit for like $100 to convert the chassis to electric if I decide to switch. Just bought a modded .21 Pro Tech 5 port to be ROAR approved.

It's just a shell. What's underneath is what counts.

True, but I I currently have 2 money pits. My car and paintball... there is no way I can afford another hobby.

Can you imagine 2 blood sucking herpes infested cars like the one you have?




:tongue:

[DegreE]

Yes.

[imadreamer1226]

Went over to the track thursday evening with my son. Its pretty amazing how fast some of these little things are.

There was a guy who brought a truck that had a 29cc motor on it, but it wasnt allowed to drive on the track, though it would have been a site to see. Was anyone out there that night?

[eviltwin]

someof my boys got those off road trucks with wheelie bars

I wasn't there unfortunately, but I'm sure it's a safety issue. He has to follow certain ROAR (the sport's sanctioning body) rules to be able to keep the place open and not need to pay for insurance.
Cars that big need bigger and stronger barriers.

Thats the day I was there. The guy taking the photos said he hadnt been to this track in years. I went back on saturday night with my son again, and there was much less going on. I talked to one guy who said thursdays is the best night to be there to watch, as more people show on that night.

The young kid with the black hair is an awesome driver, I have yet to see anyone there who out drives him. His sister is not bad to look at either.

I wouldnt mind buying someones used elec truggy/buggy to mess around with. What do you all drive, so I can see when you all are out there?

I did see this car, but it was very close to when I left. I was on the bleachers with my son and wife. Were you driving the honda fit?

[Latnballer]

No, I was in the Matrix. The guy in the Fit has a Losi.

[imadreamer1226]

Do you have an extra beat up car? :fingersx:

Bring it out there and lemme try it out. Too bad my hpi is a road car ... havent used it in years, prolly wouldnt even start.

You going out there anytime this week? I will make it a point to go check it out.

[Latnballer]

lol...in August I might buy another...until then no beat up car. I'll be out there Thursday and late on Friday. I don't think the track is going to be open on Saturday....owner says he has an event to attend.
