So for the rally cars, is everyone running the Tamiya or are you allowed to run what you want as long as it's the same scale? What scale is being run?

| I've been running a Tamiya DF03 RA but any 1/10 scale car would work. The reason we use that specific car is it is set up for rally type racing. Ty and I were thinking the Traxxas 1/16 scale rally car would be fun too. I think Ty has school all day but I'm sure he will post up soon.......

This looks like fun, not familiar with what vehicles are available to run with you all. can you make a list so I and others have a selection of vehicles to choose from. so far I only see reference to about 3 models

!0th scale rally is the name of the class, so whatever you want is fine as long as its a 10th scale car. You should know that 4 wheel drive is a must and shaft driven is the way to go. But motors don't matter, the guy that one the last rally class was using a stock tamiya motor, he beat 3 brushless rally cars. | |

Hey, can I just run my TA02 Hummer??? Wheelbase: 280mm (11") Width: 205mm (8") or what about the Tamiya F150? I have always loved this truck and just need an excuse to buy it. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBKLV&P=7 Last edited by Grizzly4x4; 11-08-2011 at 12:00 PM. |

These events are really just about getting together and having as much fun as possible. Quote:
But most of the guys I run with only run the Mini Trophy Trucks and Rally cars. Just about any vehicle can run on the track at any time though. I have a SC10 4x4 that I like to run on the track, but I am usually the only one with a short course truck. But you don't need tons of other people to have a good time, the track is a blast to drive even if you are down there by yourself, which is often how it is when Im there. | ||

Just to make sure, the Mini-Trophy Truck everyone is running is the regular, not the Brushless Flux version right? I don't want to bring a knife to a gunfight.

Bottom line I am getting is, it's just a field with a track built in it and a bunch of guys playing around. I don't see a timing system in place so it's nothing serious. Grab something, charge some batteries and go have some fun. Right? |

| Basically yeah, working on getting a timing system though. It will probably be a little while though. And trying to designate classes to have a level class structure. Plus its cool to watch a bunch of cars or trucks running together on a narrow track rubbing doors the whole time. |

But the other part of me says it'll be more fun if everyone has the same type of stuff, no one is at a big advantage or disadvantage, and we're all bangin' doors. I still think of that Slash-day we had at Finishline and how much fun that was. That's where I'm struggling.........Juan is driving me crazy over here..... | |

The new paint on the Trophy Trucks does make them very tempting though. | |
