Where is the link to the Spektrum system for $209 (looking)?

Anyway, with track rules, I never saw it happen but when Tinley was running, if you were caught with clips in the pits or turning your radio on when people were running they banned you from the track.

Tinley didn"t use clips. they had tags you hang on a broad on your freq number..... it didn't work any better. could you see 97 people, open practice for eight hours at any track without some problems. People complain people don't return the clips. mostly on 27. we had 34 people using 6 freq. newie mostly. when I chased a clip down it already had someone in line to use it nexts. I have some rules i have been working on to make a better practice night. One will be No fuel bottles in the track. run a tank, marshall for a tank. Rc and marshalling is like bread and butter. they go together you can't run a rc without having to marshall it once. If you want marshalls for your practice you"ll have to marshall for someone elses.

I could live with that and it is very fair for all
Actually I don't mind marshalling after I was all done and set up for an extra round if needed.

What comes around goes around
Treat others as you would like to be treated.

How quickly we can forget these two when there is a lot of hype and chaos.

Bernie,

If there were a :clapping: icon I would use it here.

Even my 13 year old son noticed that pitmen would wave in their driver, fuel and temp him, and send right back out. No "one tank and out" for them. No fuel on the track is good thought! He also noticed the private pitman marshall situation....

We look forward to the restoration of order and peace among RC brothers!!!

Ahh, I stand corrected, we did have just the tags at Tinley. I know they would announce over the loud speaker continually that anyone caught with their radio on during a run or not returning their clip would be banned.

I guess I'll have to spend the $250. It will be worth it not to worry about what frequency your on.

I wish someone could put together a group wholesale purchase on Spektrum systems and get them down to where I could afford one....

Guys, do yourself a favor and CALL Ultimate hobbies @ 714-921-0424. They will confirm the DX3 for only $209.99 w/2 recievers. Again, there is no sales tax and free shipping on orders over $50.00 so IMO that deal can't be beat.
