Did you do that with your camera? I ask because that's the format my camera does videos in. I bought a converter.
new track lay out - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 03-03-2006
Yes, that's why no audio. It's a Nikon CoolPix camera.

Hey guys, I was at the race today and snapped a few shots. My camera settings were screwed... no idea what I did.. but all the action shots came out very poor. :mad:
Ayway.. here's some more track shots, and some pits.

Those pics look fine. And judging by the looks of some of those electric pits I am going to go out on a limb and say that is more expensive to run than Nitro!!! WoW!
new track lay out - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 03-05-2006
Brian, nice photos. The electric pit box with the built in stereo speakers..too cool!
new track lay out - Brian_BigSquidRC - 03-05-2006
most of the pits are not as cool as that one. He even had flashing LED's around the thing.
A lot of the guys have 2 chargers, some dischargers, and just LOTS of battery packs.
It was nice and quiet, and easy to breath though. So that was a plus!
Need to get some cross ventalation in that place on the week nights.Something else interesting I noticed today. Most of us just carry our cars/trucks around, or if you are like me, toss them in a big sterlite box for easy stacking. A lot of these guys carry their cars around in the original box it came in. I'd bet I saw 10 boxes there at least.
I was also surprised by the amount of these cars going for the tripple.. It was a HUGE jump to try and make, and a lot just fell short. Going to be scary/fun with nitro! Just watch your head if you are a marshal there!

But how much do 2 nice chargers, a power supply, and "many" nice battery packs cost you?? A LOT! Add some nice mod motors, everything to rebuild them yourself, or a nice brushless system... it adds up faster than Nitro IMO...
new track lay out - Brian_BigSquidRC - 03-05-2006
you might be right. When I run electric, I really neglect those motors. Pretty much just ran them till them imploded.

When I ran on-road I was amazed by the pit equipment of the those running electircs. Some looked like they had computer equipment in there to recycle their batts. Plus they solder/re-solder the connections each time they race. I'd say they were doing way more work between races than I was.

dammmm look at the car in the air near the left red guy....

RCDad, they do solder stuff a lot. It looked like some of them didn't run plugs. They just soldered wires on when they wanted their car to be on.
new track lay out - RCDad - 03-06-2006
Yeah, serious racers don't use plugs at all. Those batts cost a lot of money also.

Yeah they looked like they did LOL. It also looked like they had chargers that peaked each individual cell.

I watch lawnmower racing on Speed Channel, it's hillarious.

I'm sorry, but if they aren't carrying blades, they're just really tall go-karts.
The site Bernie linked does have some great pics. There's even a MT mower, and some trophy girls...... no big air pics though. More of a flat track style.
