Hey everybody its the good old bandit again. I am trying to start a Electric R/C Racing Club, and have been working hard on getting sponsors and getting everything together. I have created a cheapy website which can be found at D.E.P. R/C Racing . It going to be for everybody basher and racers in and around the chicagoland area. And hopefully when I get it off the ground evenually we been able to host races and stuff. I don't know maybe I'm dreaming but I think it is worth. If anybody is interested in helping or joining please let me. It will be greatly appreciated. I want to try to make a learing club so it will be good for kid ans familes too. Thanks for you time.

I might be interested, even though my eletric doesn't get that much run time because of my maxx.=)

I hear you, that cool, at least there some interest. That makes it worth it even more to get this off the ground for me.

is it for offroad or onroad electric? both?

why limit it just to electric?

UE-Maxx · (#5 (**permalink**))

I would be guessing for both because he has a stadium truck, monster truck, and an onroad.

bandit · (#6 (**permalink**))

Yup it's for off-road, on-road, momster truck, 1/18th , and 1/28th. I think eventually it will expand to include nitro, but right now I sticking with electric becuase that's whas I really know.

id like to race my mini if/when I find a place to do so.

bandit · (#8 (**permalink**))

Yes I'm have the most luck with that, I found a few place that we could set up a mini race, I too have an 18T and just dying to try and race him. Of all my cars, I think I have the most fun with the 18T.

Well have to put this on the back burner for a while now, I'm in the process of getting a new job so I think thats a little more important then R/C at the moment. Plus I sold my TC4 and selling my T4 for now, and sold the Warhead that my cousin sent too. I'm just keeping the stampede and the 18t if i get the urge.

I'd bring out the MiniT or Xmod if we had a place to race....

Try to work something out with Intense Raceway Park. They have a strong indoor carpet racing program....not to mention one of the best indoor onroad tracks in the area.

Nexus, that's a good thought if they have open days/times to slot for Mini's. Maybe an email to them? Who is the "big guy" over there?

UE-Maxx · (#13 (**permalink**))

Guys, I have good news. I just got back from HobbyTown in Orland Park and they are bulding a track only for 1/18's. It is going to be like 2 shops down from the actually store so if anything breaks, there is spare parts right there.

I was talking to the guy really quick and he said that he was ordering some kind of special carpet made just for r/c cars.

They need to talk to the landlords and are going to start building anyday. He said that is should be done sometime in December.

When I was also in there, one of the guys was driving the mini LST. It was pretty quick for being stock. He was taking it off a little jump in the aisle of the store.

That sounds awesome, my cousin lives out that way, I think when I go to his house, I may pay a visit over there.

UE-Maxx · (#16 (**permalink**))

I will post some more information if I get any.

Looks like I better get some foams on order for the MiniT........
