Re: Ohio area Racers

Hey techno! I have seen your great pics at the hobby shop online site. Your track is amazing. I am a avid mini racer, right now a xmod with plans for lithium. When do you race and what time. I might have to try driving one of those mini zs and see how much better they handel than xmods. :lol:

Re: Ohio area Racers

:? Does anyone live in Dayton Ohio - specifically near Huber Heights? I would love to try out the race scene - I got xmods and 1/10 scale r/c's just aint got nobody to challenge. :( I'm mostly in L.A. cali but i do take off a couple of days to go home in Ohio and relax - i would mind finding someone in my area to race and maybe make a video of it too! :wink:

Re: Ohio area Racers

RCP?

What is this? Everyone posting mentions it...

But what I'm talking about, is a nice foam-thingy, it's so nice...I always can't resist poking it with a screwdriver...lol, sorry to all the floor-foam-thingy-lovers! (don't quote that...and make fun of me about it...)

So you buy them off of Radioshack, for hundreds and hundreds, or thousands of bucks!?

My dad has some of the stuff for my shop (workshop) downstairs, the stuff in the shop is the exact same thing, and its 25 cents per piece (repeated)...

A piece=one sq ft (with puzzle-like, fit-together-sides)

:roll: 8O :wink:

The same thing? You've never raced on RCP. And, the rails, are amazing, anyway.

Re: Ohio area Racers

WOW!

That's...a lot of money...lol...so many mini-z's...do you buy the sets for like $200 (really overpriced) or just buy the floor stuff for like 25 cents per piece @ Home Depot?
