Yeah ive got one of those rc cars, not very good at it, but would go if work didnt get in the way

actually that reminds me, id better go and see if its still here............

[GTR_Legend]

i got one, its only a 12cv but it tears the rubber tyres to shreds :lol:

[RANDY]

Electric, Nitro, newbie, old car... doesn't matter! I just want to go out and have fun with others, and prolly video tape a bunch of it. (got wireless cam)

Hopefully we can get enough people together to make some kind of make-shift track! =-]

Please also post the dates that you are free.

[N1GTR]

If we did it on a wednesday night (i work every other night except friday and the rare thursday) we could find a well lit shopping car park

i.e. coles

Problem with that is the shops usually close around 10-1030pm which is quite late to be starting

[RANDY]

Well... I used to go to Curl Curl netball courts... no fences, just smooth bitumen. They play netball on Saturdays I beleive, and it's completely bare on Sundays.

[inissane]

i used to have a RC10 electric offroader was good fun still have it but probably need some love to get working,

but used to go to St Ives showground on mona vale rd a nice offroad track there

[RANDY]

Yuk man! That track is HORRIBLE! If you want a well-maintained offroad track, with BIG jumps, and a table-top, North Ryde is the place to go!

I've competed with the North Shore RC club a few times in the 1/10th modified truck rounds (and won a few times!) with my HPI RS4 MT... pictured below with road-tyres on it.

[FATAZZ]

there was a RC i think dirt track with jumps at castle hill bmx track

not sure on exact location(was like 8years ago)

[RANDY]

Ah yeah... Castle Hill has onroad events too...

Bike track? I go to the Terry Hills bike track... lol! Got some great videos of the action! The jumps are between 1 and 2 meters high!

[satanic]

If someone can lend me a drive shaft for the TL-01 chasis, I'll bring my beast along... I think I've stripped a few gear teeth on the old one

[N1GTR]

I have a tl 01 somewhere, ill check for spares for you

[RANDY]

First post updated...

I've emailed Castle Hill raceway to see if it's open to the public on non race-days. Looks to be a nice track, smooth, and has ripple-strips.

I'd be happy to get a bunch of people up there for some fun... the netball courts would require rope or PVC halves to make a track.

[Dingo]

St ives show ground also has an indoor circuit from memory, is that the track race you were going in Randy? Or did you mean the out door one?

[RANDY]

christ... there's an indoor one there??

I've never seen it! I've done the offroad one a few times, and i've been to heaps of markets at the grounds there... but i've never seen a track! Do you remember if it was open to public all the time, or if you had to book or pay when you turn up or anything?

This could be perfect for a drift day!

[RANDY]

"The In-Door on-road Due to falling numbers and problems with hiring the hall the inDoor racing is suspended until further notice"

nuts. =-/

I hope that's out of date!

[FATAZZ]

i got a few hobbie shops around my area i will be checking out very soon. i want to get myself a drift rc car.

are you guys running electric or petrol cars?

[oRiCLe]

hmm, could be interested if organising an on road night depending on location and if i have to work, me and a mate have nitro's , just gotta fix my front end, rc with no cover vs. dyno =

[RANDY]

AaronMine's electric... but depending on where we go, nitro shouldn't be a problem!

All you really need is an onroad 4wd car, with tweakable suspension and camber (re-positioning the shocks) and some PVC. Wrap tape around a bare rim until the PVC goes on quite tight, and there you have it!

For the 4wd aspect, belt or shaft shouldn't matter. I'll post some vids up of my car. I'm sorting out an R34GTR shell at the moment.

[FATAZZ]

so you drift with 4wd cars? not rwd?

yes i dont know sh*t about rc cars,not yet anyway
