Things are coming along nicely! Keep an eye out for the ad in RC Driver next month. Look forward to seeing some of you come out!

Is my B2 pre-1994?

[dale_gribble]

What a killer, killer idea! I can't wait for the pictures and wrap up of this one. Also, if this isn't an annual event, I hope it becomes one!

Is my B2 pre-1994?

The B2 was released in 1995 so it cannot be run until next year. The RC10 Worlds was the cutoff for AE as it was released in 94. There are TONS of 10s on ebay for cheap rtr. You might even be able to catch a jrx2 or an ultima for even cheaper. Just search the word vintage and you'll find a ton of race worthy cars. Hope to you see you there!


Dale, i'm hopeing to make it an annual event but thats going to hang heavily on the success of this years race so come on out and join the fun. I'm sure Mike from Steel City Hobbies will drive ;) I've actually been out to Pittsburgh and its only a 6 hour ride, not bad at all.

I think its a great, but why the lipos and brushless motors.

[Daveo]

I have an old Futaba FX10, can I run that?

[Erich Reichert]

I think its a great, but why the lipos and brushless motors.

Just to make things a little easier, cost effective, open to more people.

Daveo, yes yo ucan run the FX10 :)
