~~~RCC Speed Shootout!~~~
 

Well we all love crawling here but after awhile at 3 mph we all enjoy some tire ballooning speed to mix things up.:twisted:
So im putting on a little online showdown. A speed shootout!

Classes are as shown on the flyer. Sportsman, Pro Stock, Pro Mod, and Rock crawler classes must all be full bodied 4 wheeled, electric RC vehicles powered by its wheels. No tether cars, rockets, ducted fans etc.
<o:p></o:p>
The Sportsman, Pro Stock, and Pro Mod classes can be any style chassis, suspension, driveline, wheels/tires etc, with the appropriate power system for its class.
<o:p></o:p>
However the Rock Crawler class is a little different. It must be 4wd during its speed passes, and have solid axles front and rear (TLT, Axial, WheelyKing, TwinForce, Losi, Venom, berg, RockForce, etc),. It must also run a rock crawler style body. (i.e. no touring cars, high down force, short course, ect.) No motor limit, no battery limit, no wheel and tire limit, no esc limit, etc. However you may not run more than 2 motors and 2 escs.


<o:p></o:p>
Winning runs must be proven with the entire run on video with a GPS unit or radar, and on flat ground. On board telemetry is not accepted. (Spectrum Telemetry System, onboard mph gauges, etc too inaccurate because of calibration needed.)
Were trying to keep this a simple fun contest. Not 20 pages of rules, use common sense as to the intended limits etc. Myself and Jason will be watching the build threads and anyone caught trying to exploit loopholes, we hold the right to add more rules as cheaters appear. Play fair folks. It’s for fun.
<o:p></o:p>
All entrants must have been signed up on RCC as a member on or before April 10<SUP>th</SUP> 2009, and also must be a current star holding member.

Good luck to everyone! "thumbsup"

This sounds fun.

I just picked up a drag car.I'll be in if I can figure out somebody with a GPS or radar gun."thumbsup"

I've got an E-Flite 160 and some 10S lipos. Wonder if they'll fit in the XXX-S? :evil:

I've already started mocking up my Rock Crawler class rig. I am going to win the title of Worlds Fastest Rock Crawler.

I'm excited!

Is there a Wheel base limit for the Crawler class? Need to know before I start design my chassis.

16" max. i think wed prefere 12.5 though.

how many feet can we go? because our drag cars have hit over 100 in 132 feet. we have a timing system,with print out."thumbsup"

im using an entire parking lot.:mrgreen:

You haven't seen HB run his drag cars. He needs a full size runway to get to speed. :mrgreen:

could probably get a pretty good run out of that at freddies.. to bad its cold out here and traction is gone anyone up north is probably gonna have a hard time competing this time of year..

yeah that was discussed in the vendors section. like i said this is a feeler event. the 2nd annual event will be summer time to be more fair to the northern idiots that live with that white stuff :lmao: j/king

I'm in for Pro Mod!:twisted:"thumbsup"

Don't forget to post up your vids of all the carnage that is going to take place!!!

hmmm, might have to dig out my old parma pan car i had done some preliminary work to turn it into a 12 cell drag car. was planning this simple with a brushed motor and microswitch. too bad there is no nitro class, ive been thinking about building a twin .28 drag car with a proper 4 link rear suspention, this would have been the motivation i needed to get started.

hmmm, re-reading that i had to be on the forums since april, guess im disqualified before i even start. oh well, mabey ill build the electric car and throw the video up anyways

That's the spirit!

As this is the RCC Speed Shootout, there will be a jump located at some point of the run correct?:twisted:
