2008 RC-Monster Bash Info

15 mins shouldnt be that hard to make.

But I guess is people are having probs, make the races shorter. I personally think 90% or so of the people will make 15 mins just fine. But I could be wrong?

I'll be there for sure! I cant wait! I just got a medusa 4800kv for my crt.5 and my big jammin is up and running! I'll be good to see all you guys again, does anyone know if Rene(Serum) going to be there?

Bye

If I do go, I would love to drive my truck until the LVC kicks in which is set a 3v per cell so 8S would be 24v. I'm waiting for some couplers to come in so I can make my own drive shaft. I'll be running my Enerland packs to have them ready. I might bring my BPP as well, but I'm going to run either 5S or 6S. I should be able to do close to 30 minutes .

i wont be able to make 15mins on 4000mah...

Bring what you have and it will be fine - Mike races with 4s 5K packs, Ryan and I were both use 5s 4k packs so should be fine - I imagine it will drop to about 12 min mains and 7 min qualifiers...

This is a very relaxed day with lots of chat about setups etc. No one should feel mega pressured!

Here is some info on the RC-Monster Bash this year. It has quietly been approaching without much discussion yet, but its all set and not far off now. It will be on Sunday September 28th at Barnstormers RC Raceways in Chester NY. Doors open at 8am, track opens at 9am, and the qualifiers start at 11am. Anyone who can, should do their best to make it. It is a great event. I went to my first RCM Bash last year and had an absolute blast. It was really great to meet allot of the guys face to face and see everyones rides in real life. There were some absolutely fantastic machines there. Even if you don't think of yourself as a racer you should come out and have some fun on the track, there will be all skill levels and a class that just about any brushless off-road vehicle can race in. So bring whatever ya got and come out, race, bash and have a great time with your RC-Monster friends. Spread the word and lets see how big of an event we can make this.

I believe that this year event will have RC magazine coverage as well, so it should be some great exposure for this segment of the RC world.

I'm going to be making the drive out from Chicago for the event. Who else is planning to be there?

Here is a flier with more info on it.

.

Doug and I will be making it out there. They did not have the event on their schedule. Will they have the opportunity to practice on Saturday and do they have elec. available outside the building too?

[Arct1k]

I don't believe they normally open on a Sat - I've seen guys with long extension leads outside but compressors tend to trip the circuit from what i remember...

working out my setup, lowering the truck- installing internal downstops in the shocks, going to a lighter oil too, cuz right now if i drop the truck its as if turnbuckles are in place of shocks no suspension movement, all tire bounce

Are you running foams? Are your tires vented? If not get some holes in them, they'll bounce a lot less.

I'm definitely going now. I have things to prove to a few folks . HV (8S in my case) will reign supreme . I hope to see you all there.

That's a good one.

You could always apply some to the guests.

Either way, this year's definitely out for me as I've not been long out of hospital, but, I'm planning on a big trip next year, so, I might make it to that one.

It would be very interesting to see your beasts in the flesh.

yes and yes

[lutach]

What is the exact address to Barnstormers' track?

Edit: Found it .

[E-Revonut]

Still a few weeks away but can we start getting a running tally on who is planning to go? I'm NOT going to miss this one. With the exception on something major going wrong in my life I will def be there
