Treads Gone Wild summer race series is heating up!

Round 3 of TGW is now in the books, and it’s becoming a very VERY tight series. Two rounds left and unfortunately, I’m in danger of losing my 3rd place standing in the series.

Bryan is how tied with me for third, and he’s brought his A-game, winning last nights A-Main.

I qualified 5th [...]

Evolution of a theme – New race body debuts at “Treads Gone Wild”

With the slow destruction of my old race body, the damage done to the very old temporary body, and the debut of the BRCR Summer Race Series “Treads Gone Wild”, it was high time for a new body. But, time was not on my side, so my original plan of a complex and amusing theme [...]

Short Course Racing Status, January -> April 2011.

BRCR implemented a track change in mid April, so I’ve closed out the previous dataset, and started a new one for updated track.

During that time I also acquired the TLR22 buggy, and sold off the AE B4 (took less than 2 hours to sell, yip!).

So, without yammering on, here is the graph [...]

It’s here! The TLR22. And it’s built!

Ah.. YES! Months of waiting. Reading the press releases. Seeing the sneak-peek spy photos, hearing the team drivers talk about this amazing new car. This (r)evolution in 2wd 1/10th scale RC Racing. Innovation, engineering, a radical remake.

The Hype surrounding this new (model / toy) car was intense! Just read this little blurb from [...]

Expanding Race Fleet – adding more 2WD fun

If you read my post on 28-February, you might recall that I mentioned the purchase of a new 17.5T power kit,

I also said there would be a post about about what I planned to use that in. Well, so maybe I didn’t post up soon, but I am posting about it now. [...]

Converting from Open to Stock Short Course

It didn’t take long for me to figure out that I had A LONG way to go before I belonged running Open Short Course trucks. Even though I had the monster motor in the class with a 7.5T Novak (most other racers were running 10.5T or 13.5T – lower the turns, the faster it spins [...]

New SC10 body to be run tonight.

It’s official. I’ve been kicked up from NOVICE class to MOD SHORT COURSE.

Monday night was my last Novice racing event (more on that in another post). With the demise of the old body, timing is perfect for finishing up the new body, trimming it up and getting it ready for racing tonight.

Wednesday Night Short Course Racing – Another win!

Ah.. it’s good to win.

SC10 Factory Team – in pit at BRCR

So, it’s still in Novice class, but it was not an easy win. There was one competitor (also named Dave) that was really giving me a run for my money, in fact he was just ahead of me when his truck [...]

Monday Night Racing results

Wow, it was a challenging night at BRCR on Monday. Turnout was a little down so Alex (race director) combined what is typically 4-6 racing classes down into two.

Class 1 – Novice, Stock and Open Class Short Course Trucks.

Class 2 – Stock Stadium Truck, Stock Buggy, Open Stadium Truck, Open Buggy.
