Here's a few more for ya Reggie. I am still going through 4 emails full of pics. These are all pics of things nobody here will care much about since they are modern cars, but they are pics
There will be more added to the asylum site this week. Ruffy or I will post a link when they are ready. That would be easier than adding them here 5 at a time.

I will try and update the RC Asylum gallery and put a link here tonight or tomorrow. My wife and I have been nursing one of our adopted stray cats back to health in the last few nights, not leaving much time for me to do anything.

Sorry to hear that you missed it!
The RC Asylum is also going to be the host for the Region 4 electric and nitro races (electric is July 8th - 10th), so check out their website at
http://www.thercasylum.com for information regarding the regionals coming up.
Please know that some of us are racing the vintage buggies there all the time with the regular modern cars in stock and modified, not just at "vintage races". So feel free to come out anytime and just have fun with us!

No I don't. I'm 1 hr away so by the time I leave work (5pm) get home clean up, change clothes, pack etc.. it would be too late to take a 1 hr trip down.
I'm normally there whenever they are open for electric racing and for practices, on Saturdays.

That car is just beautiful!!!!
Your car is perfect as a racer, can't wait to have you join us, as we have a blast!
Some help may be my setup sheet for the RC10 CE you can right click and download
HERE
Tires that we find work very well at the RC Asylum nearly all the time are:
Rear Tires:
Proline Holeshot 2.0's M3 or softer compound
JConcepts Double Dee's in Green (their normal compound)
Losi X-2000's in Red Compound
Front Tires:
Proline ribbed fronts
Jconcepts ribbed fronts
Losi ribbed fronts
30-35 wt silicone oil in all 4 shocks with either #1 or #2 pistons (I'm using #2's currently but also like the #1's w 35wt)
Check that pdf for limiters inside the shocks.
Look forward to seeing you out there. We will be out there next Saturday May the 7th.
Your car looks alot like mine!

Ruffy, thanks for all of the helpful tips for your track! Try walking into a pit now and asking for advice... the only thing you are likely to get is a black eye! Vintage racers RULE!
That is one mean, fast looking buggy. I better get on the ball!!!
