I want to come out of retirement and race with you guys. The past two tracks have looked awesome and professional. In the past I visited the hobby shop, I really wasn't interested in the track layouts.. Id see guys with 4 0r 5 thousand dollars worth of equipment and wreck two to three times per lap. the tracks were not anything I wanted to race on. The surface looked awesome, but the layouts bugged me really bad. I wanted to rip up the track every time and build a professional one.

Anyways I am looking forward to coming back and cant wait to meet all of you and see old friends from the castle days. I am looking forward to getting it handed to me for a while until I get back to the way I raced back in the day.

Awesome thanks!

Proline Prime MC Compound or JConcepts Octagons Gold Compound

Hello, just getting back in to the hobby. What tires work best for 2WD buggy?

Thanks Daniel. So it looks like rookie truck is a good fit for me.  I’m guessing  most are running a T5M or 22T?  I think I’ll stop by nest race night.

1/8 buggy is cool to run for open track days, but not for if you want to come out on race night because there usually is not a class to run.

However, Stadium Truck is probably the most fun you can have with an offroad RC car and the class has been on the upswing lately. 2wd 17.5 buggy is the popular thing right now

Hey guys. I’d like to run this year but I’m not sure which class I should run. I haven’t raced since rams 15+ years ago and that was on road nitro. I noticed NorCal supports rookie buggy, rookie truck, and 17.5 40+. At this point I’m a novice driver and over 40. I prefer staudium truck over buggies and I’m really intrigued with the 2S 1/8 buggy class but don’t know how competitive it is. I’m really just looking for good fun and to run with others. Not trying to win the Worlds. Thanks in advanced.

Thank you Daniel!

Proline Positrons and Electrons in clay compound both work really well

Hey Daniel, do you have any tips on which short course tires are doing well on the track right now? 

Thanks!

Track is not yet complete. Possibly sometime in the afternoon or evening.

Posted in the wrong off-road forum...

what tier are they using for sc?
thanks

Just wanted to say Doug and I had a blast at Norcal last night. Lots of run, track was super fun and lots of great people. We will be back, keep up the good work.

Rookie7127, Call the shop tomorrow (408)293-5555, I'll see what I can do to help you out.

You didn't necessarily buy the wrong pack, the advantage of the shorty pack is that you have another tuning option to try as you tweak the car; forward, middle or back. (Plus some weight savings). With the square pack you don't get this option.

The are other brands of batteries out there... If you need one quick then what's available locally great.  SMC has a nice shorty pack that's available and is a decent price.

Hello Chef, brand new rookie here looking for any recommendations for a battery for my B5M champions edition buggy.  I just started going to LSR in sacramento and someone suggested team powers shorty packs.   Apparently I bought the wrong battery , I purchased a square pack.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello Erik. Happy new year. 
So check out the facebook site. Ill check it. Thank u

There is a strong following in 13.5 Stadium Truck,   Of course there is modified too, but 13.5 is pretty solid.

Mike, check out the classifieds on this site to buy and to sell.   Also, find us on Facebook.  There seems to be more activity there nowdays, though this site still get traffic, just not as it was some years back.
