ChitownRC

i called LH and asked if i can run my baja on open parctice days, and i got a quick no. they said it was too hard on the track.....so i guess im looking for a place to have some fun this winter indoors. anyone have a idea????

Are you the one who called and ask if you can run outside. and I said no because the outside track is tore up. Inside may be a little tight for your baja but you can sure try if you like.

Large scale rc is having a open house this saturday. (Monon Indiana)
Dont take that long to get down there. I80/294 to 65 south, To 114 east to 421.
It about an hour & 20 minutes. From chicago.

yes, i was the one who had called.if we can try to run inside that would be great. my friend and i are not new to the r/c world, and are not careless with our toys. if there is one day that works out best for you guys to try and see how it works out, let me know. we would love to come out and have fun. its about an hour and 15 min from where we live, but it would be worth it to come out.

Sounds like there's a need for a controlled practice to me....

i just wanted to make shure before i came all the way out there.

As of the moment its listed as open practice. Anyone is welcome to run according to the website. If thats not so then LHR should update the site. Give them a call to verify the schedule, i'm just going by whats listed on the website.

Take from the website. If there has been a change it wasn't announced on the website which is what I check whenever I plan on going to an open practice. Green, call LHR to make sure the schedule is correct.

I'm probably going to head out next saturday as well, my switch 2's should arrive by monday of next week. Last outing wasn't as much fun because I was on a set of crimefighters in front, and bald crimefighters in rear. Traction was an issue. Couldn't even lay into it on the back straight because the car would just fishtail down the whole thing. 528xr ftw! Got some badlands for the grass and those make bashing FUN! Wonder how they'll work in the snow.

How do you like the new motor in your Baja GreenHornet? I saw the pics on HBF forums and it looks sweet.

thanks, havent really ran it to much yet. i will this weeknd in the field by my house so i can dial it in before i go to the track.

how is the track...is it more hard or a little soft?

Leisure's track? Hard

well, we will be out there tonight with our bajas..should be fun!

Hope all goes well, Its not a twisty layout, It looks like a super-cross track. straights with jumps.
