Just a reminder that the Reedy Race this week will feature a demo class for the classic. Expect to see both Ryan's, Ruona, Spencer Rivkin, Paul Wynn and several others doing battle with the RC10! This is a great race to watch but when you consider that this is Associated's party and they've already revealed the B5, one can't help but wonder what else might be revealed at this race! Check out liverc.com for coverage!
For those tuning in you may recognize the RC10 Paul Wynn is racing. It certainly looks very familiar to me
just watched the demo class, it was fun to see the classics in action, and the worlds cars too. really playful, i am sure if they were more serious they could have put down some good laps
This was it- kinda sad. Three racers broke before making 2 laps (Cav first)
I don't care who says that the B4 wheel setup doesn't cause poor steering, I watched BK and Tim have crap center off steering- I've wheeled one with that problem, and all that it took was the correct axles and wheels and it was gone.
Yeah, unfortunately Cav hadn't really driven his classic and Louis (his dad) did not put the e-clip on the top shaft and then topshaft shifted to one side and no longer driven. Then later BK broke a ballcup on the double-double.
Everyone else running a standard classic were also running the new JConcepts wheels, so they were significantly more traction limited than the world's cars on 2.2" wheels with good tire.
We'll be doing another demo tomorrow! So should be much more exciting!

Tim do you have an idea around what time you guys will do the demo on Sunday. I'm heading out to check out some racing but don't want to miss this one.
I think I heard on one video they were going to run again 2:45 pst.
Yeah I'm not a big fan of the gt axle conversion that comes on the new worlds car so you can run b4 wheels. I wish they would have just remade the 2.2 front wheels with the proper backspace.
You have to consider those guys were running heavy horsepower and are used to driving a b4 hard through the corners. That was part of the problem I had at last years Cactus. I didn't have much wheel time on the car and trying to drive 2 different driving styles in the process. Its hard to do without the wheel time, but got used to it after I had the car a while.
My PC froze yesterday during the Classic race , but I have seen the entire race on YouTube. Today, we had our first Little League team meeting...when? During the demo race again today. All the best plans laid to waste. There is always next year.
I will need to try a different B4 front wheel set up, using standard axles and mix/match bearings with a spacer inside. I will see if I can get the pictures from Michael, it looks trick.

So as some of you already know I am building and racing RC trucks for a class and we finally had our first race. Sadly I hit the wall on the fourth lap and ended up getting fourth out of fifth and lost the first race but I have since fixed the truck...

The first generation Bolink Digger's shared this same basic chassis. I love these things!
Hey guys, as I mentioned previously, I'm reviving my decades unused Team Car in hopes of having a little fun racing at the local track. I've not actually seen some of the new technology in action yet, like brushless motors, LiPo cells, etc. So my...

It really depends on what class is racing locally. I'd check that out before I bought anything, but you're on the right track investing in batteries before brushless. Brushless is awesome performance and maintenance free, but brushed motors still...
rc hobbies and more has an awesome, huge, outdoor track. vintage friendly.
this is the thrid year for this race and this year they've added a vintage class. (2wd buggies and trucks)
the reedy race is around the corner and i am looking forward to watching it on Liverc.com. I hope the show the vintage class. I don't know if this is any indication of what to expect but:
