Carpet racer anyone?

[gordieb]

Hey all friend and I are looking for another way to kill time and waste money so I suggested 1/12 or 1/18 scale carpet racing.

We have a local place that is open for practices and races here locally, but I know nothing about on road electric cars anyone know of a forum like this one that I can gather some good info from before dropping a couple bills on a car :lmao:

And the track is just that a track I'm pretty sure it's not even a place to buy cars or parts.

I would check out RcTech and Hobbytalk.

Is it an oval or on-road?

I use to race carpet oval back in the day......I sure do miss it.

Thanks a lot. I'll be on road I don't think I can only turn left and stay interested.

One of the best 12th scale cars you're going to find. Made just a few miles from us.

I know the National champ drives it and he's a friend.

Turning left can be a lot of fun, too.

This is what confuses me I have no idea what the on road lingo is. I'm guessing the 13.5 and 17.5 are brushless motor sizes and I would assume that there both 1/10. I get truck but COT, I have no idea.
