Ryan Michalowski
sportsman, and buggy
Got you down ryan.
Bigger trophies for you!!!
lol. Im not planning on getting anything with the buggy tho, Im gonna be picking it up thursday and it will be my first
. Revo is going after first this time but hey whatever happens happens. As long as i have fun thats all i care about. Cant wait for the race. If i enter my revo in the unlimited class does that cost extra?
Revo cant run in unlimited, it has a transmission. You trying to bribe me
By actual rules, ANY truck can race in unlimited, most prefer not to, because of the difference in powerbands... That is, unless the race director (You in this case) says otherwise. Not trying to cause static....

that is suggested rules. Our club uses a slightly different set that states can have no gear reduction transmission in the Unlimited class. BY doing this we keepo the truggies and Hybrids together and the true MT's together. We have found it keeps complaining about unfair vehicles to a minimum.
Also if you read up on the rules that you quoted from alot of the revos that run at lh would be illegal because it states your wing can't be wider than the body. Most are running 1/8th scale wings on 1/10 scale bodies.
But it is all about having fun anyways
Chris thanks I got you down. I truelyhope it doesn't comflict with Camp Maxx, I tried to wait but we are less than a month away so I had to act.
Im in george. Unlimited and Mt!
campmaxx is scheduled for April 16-17th. I'll be going to DD's race and campmaxx!
Do we need to pre-register for the race ?

I believe pre-registering is not required, but it will guarantee you a spot. Nothing worse than showing up for a race and registration is closed because the place is full.
Im a Monster Truck racer. I just want to find out a few things. I have a 2.8 Savage and Monster GT. and i have a E-maxx with a HV-Maxx Brushless moter. Now i see you have a Sportsmen class and Unlimited MT. Now Unlimited MT to means if it had a truck body andMonster Weels u can run it no Moter tryp dont mater what u have Bring it. that is what Unlimited MT is to me when i race. Now what is Sportsmen. and if it not tomuch can i sell me what class i would ahve to run my trucks in.
I have
HPI Savage 2.6
Monster GT 2.8
E-maxx HV-Maxx Brushless with 14 cells.
I want to run the E-maxx in one of the class and run ether me MGTor Savagein on of the uthers could u let me know what thay would have to run in ?
and sume what you Idel of Unlimited MT and Sportsmen is we could have to difrent things. Im looking to run in you'r Event thanks mike. and would u have a # i can get a hold of you to find outmore about this event ?
If you have the standard 2 speed setup those trucks came with, you'd be racing MT sportsman. Engine size wouldn't matter for this race. I race my savage with a .26 motor (the stock .21 was too slow for me
.
I'm not an electric racing guy, so I'll let someone else anwser the electric class question.
Ooh, almost forgot. Fatso_tre and kevintri, welcome to the boards
.
ty so would aE-maxx be a Problem it is only Set up with 1 speed it dont shift ? if not can i run itin the MT Sportsmen ?
I think the "electric class" is run what you brung electric wise. not sure though.
You wouldn't want to run a electric with the nitros because the mains are a little long and you would have to change batts when you pit.
Isnt the electric class limited to buggies and stadium trucks!??!?!?
Maybe if hes lucky a coulpe other e maxxs will show up and we can make a class for them
Well guys back from AZ. I went from 85 in Tucson, to 18 inches of snow today in flagstaff, talk about going threw all the season in a day. Well kinda glad to be back ( except weather and work wise).
Thanks to those that have answered questions in my absence. The Savage and Monster would both be in the Sportsman Class. Due to that they have a transmission(gear reduction). As far as your emaxx would go, in our club last year if any showed they raced in the MT class, since the elect. stadium guys wanted no part of racing against a bigger MT. I can understand their point. So if you race the emaxx we will have to put you into the sportsman mt, unless the electric guys don't mind. Last race we had only 3 electrics, so we dont have a big turnout for electric. But by the sounds of it you will probably have 3 Sportsmans so you may just want to choose your best racer and race that one.
