With so many people asking I decided to talk to R/C Hobbies about dates...

All comps will follow the same format:
Sign in 11 am
Comp start 11:30 am

Location: remote control hobbies Naperville I'll
(1/4 mile south of i88 on rte 59)

Jan 16 2009. 2.2 comp class only
Feb 6 2009. 2.2 comp class only
Feb 27 2009 sportsman class only

Judge volunteers are needed for each date. I may not be able to attend the Feb dates so I may seek a volunteer if a BoD member is unable to run the comp.

These comps are free but, a donation jar will be present to help with I-hobby costs.

There will be a march date added in the near future

Is this how the comps normally are ? Comp class only on one day and then sportsman only on another ?

From reading other threads I thought only Scale class was on separate dates . While comp and sportsman were ran together on same date .

jetboat · 12-30-2009, 05:45 AM

summer is different. We can only run 1 course at a time in winter so if we tried to run 2 classes it would take 6+hrs and noone wants to be stuck in a hobbyshop that long.

Briguy-01 · 12-30-2009, 07:53 AM

Ok , thanks . The kid I was talking to at the store must not know what is going on .

y2kgtp · 12-30-2009, 09:11 PM

I may try to do this as well for myself and 1 kid. Still putting crawlers together for the first time

My 5yr old may get too frustrated and just want to do figure 8's in the shop.

If you seen what I did to my rig the other day, You would put your money on the 5yr old to win

y2kgtp · 12-31-2009, 09:58 AM

What is the main difference between comp and sportsman class? Is
it just The use of a dig unit?

Grump · 12-31-2009, 10:18 AM

So far, Yes, I think? I hear they are still crossing the t's and dotting the i's tho.

NO MOA or Dig

jetboat · 12-31-2009, 10:46 AM

Basically, sportsman is:
1 motor
Drive shafts
No dig
No rear steer.

I anticipate motor limits,tire limits and battery limits but, the full rules have not been announced.

The original idea was that someone could take a box stock rig and be competitive. The rules comitee is trying to make it into a drivers class, our club is trying to keep it a budget beginners class. They promise that the official rules will be out soon.

Sounds good so far. I just will have a stock LCC and kids will have Venom creepers. Hopefully not to basic a vehicle to have fun with.

As a BoD member....I can attend all 3 events (as of right now). IF work sends me out of town I may have to decline a date. As of now, I leave for Tamp the day after the Jan 16th Comp, and I return from Orlando the night before the Feb 6th comp.

Roketcooper · 01-03-2010, 06:56 PM

I'll try to make it out on the 27th, schedule allowing.

y2kgtp · 01-04-2010, 10:44 AM

Any photos of previous comps so I have an idea of what the typical course looks like?

jetboat · 01-04-2010, 12:23 PM

Pile a bunch of rocks in a pile and you have it... seriously though, they were working on locking the rocks down with some foam so I have no good idea what it will look like myself.

sally1800 · 01-04-2010, 12:28 PM

The foam did help last time we where out crawling. I do hope they leave some of the rock movable.
