Colorado Rally Championship 2012

Well, I'll throw my hat in the ring. I traded my MRC for a fully water proofed DF03RA! I've never rallied before but I'll be there next Saturday. Is this like the video where the guys run after their cars? Looks like good exercise :for:

I'll take number 781.

Nope this is single position driving on backyard courses. This is more a Rally X style of driving taking place on closed circuits. Its a blast, the courses have tight turns and most are only 24-36" wide. Two cars at a time in a double elimination format and it is a pretty eventful.

Better getting practicing Wes.

Yeah I know. I was never great driving on tracks but I'll try my hand at this. Do I need a 190 or 200 MM body for my car? Or will either one fit?

190mm for the DF03RA. 200mm is much to wide.

either will "fit" bu a 190 is the proper body for the df03ra.. but with a wider offset rim or hub like turtle the 200 are ok... but for fitment with all stockish parts the 190 is more proper

Even so a stock DF03ra is only 185mm (give or take 1 or 2mm) wide, to make a 200mm body look right you need an additional 15mm of offset, I don't know any wheels that will do that.

ive got some 12mm offsett wheels..add that to a full size trx hex....but thats getting ridiculous lol...anyways those are drift wheels...we have made it look pretty good their...but prob not anywhere near strong enough for rally.....190 is the way to go...

and i wasnt trying to step on your answer...your post wasnt up when i started to type my post...we are saying the same thing anyways lol....

so if you order a few things and do the express shipping these guys are pretty quick...

some of the sticker kits are kinda janky (cheesy knockoff names) but the bodies arent bad...especially for the price

Check out the first post again, there is a Dakar class where you could run a CC-01.
Currently Turtle is the only one signed up for it. I may sign up, just not sure yet.
