Would it be to much to ask for a linkypoo ?

I was checking out Dynamite brand 1/8 scale street tires yesterday at the LHS, they're inexpensive and very soft. The price kinda scares me tho, consdering they might just vaporise with the set up I'm plannning on ?

I saw them blow up not too long ago.

You mean lincypoo? I thought it was the concensus that he was my lincypoo. I guess I'll share, but I'm watching.

It sucks that the group you're with aren't being responsible. I hope the driver that hit the bystanders gets to pay for that guys hospital bill.

When I see that kinda crap I take it upon myself to tell kids and bystanders to stay out of the way. I'm actually a dick about it, but it gets the point across and keeps people from getting hurt.

I also tell wreckless drivers in no uncertain terms that at speed r/c's are more of a weapon than a toy.

Speak up dude! Instead of losing a good spot and a good time step up and organize things. Most people are followers and won't even mind

Just got home from the weekly meet behind the Lowes, There was some carnnage tonight ! Some Asshole was running WOT to close to the crowd and blasted two guys in the ankles doing roughly 50mph+, took the both out. On dude went to the hospital the other had a serious cut but refused to go ? The guy driving was oblivious the hurt guys and seemed more concerned with his 1/8 scale buggy. I could only imagine if it was a child that got hit, would have done some serious damage to a little body !!!!
A couple noobs got thier TRX rustlers flattened by people driving through, carelessness will cost ya !, One was salvagable the other was a total loss.O-well you stupid tool.
I'm having second thoughts about driving out there ? It's getting bad, no one pays attention to what anyone is doing, wreckless abandon ! NO, I wish I had video ! SORRY.
There was about 50-60 people out there with no organization what so ever, just mayhem. I sat back and sold some Lipos and Motors and watched this all unfold, was truely priceless.
When it did settle down several guys where clicking off high 70's and low 80mph passes. No one had a RC that was truely set up for speed passes I thought. Everyone had big wings on the back, and/or running 4s and geared a mile high so they'd thermal after 2 passes. The guys with 1/10 scale stuff were clocking some fast passes 80+ but were wrecking every other pass, couldn't control it for what ever reason ?

yep! your own radar and camera man would be best! then find a nice low-to-no traffic street and shoot for the stars!

thats my plan at least...

Get the most basic hiking style (meaning only gives coordinate locations and what not) GPS you can find. I would search the bay for one. You should be able to pick something up well under 50 bucks that will give speed read outs and hold the top speed for you. There are some pretty small ones now too.

I tried a set of Imex premount rally/street tires once. They were rubber, but the compound sucked for traction and but ended up making for pretty good drift tires. Plus they were cheap $25 I think for the set of four at my lhs. Just don't expect them to last too long, I think I got 12-15 packs through before the tread was gone and I wore holes in them soon after.

Are these 1./10 or 1/8th scale your talking about ?
I'll check out Imex's website, Thanks

[Overdriven]

They were 1/8th scale buggy/onroad, 17mm, I used them on my rc8.

Looks good, small and has the features I need. Do you have any experience with this model or brand ??
I'm totally new to GPS
