Cool that was our car for a few years we bought from jess huggins. We loved that chassis it really liked running around the top. You'll like it.

Coolness. Welcome aboard. We'll have to schedule an RC race at one of the TQ races.

Yeah I've got a jato I play with occasionally and we hangout down at linvilles some but have never raced, usually too busy with somethin else.

I have a LOSI car that I would bring, But there has to be a driver and car weight rule!

Is it by chance one of those losi slider sprint car ones?? Ive been looking at those a little. Look like they would be fun. Rc car races would be an interesting addition to the racing program.

Greensburg has a RC track. It is at the top of the hill on the south-side of the racetrack grandstands. You'll have to check it out on the 8th.

See ya at the races,

So, whats up with the Cincy Dirt Bowl RC track? We were going to head over there and heard it was being redone? I'm afraid we arent going to have an indoor dirt track in SE Indiana this winter. Don't listen to Charlie......haha, the r/c track is an offroad track with knee-high weeds in Greensburg. Maybe you guys could make a little r/c track and build it into the front straightaway! Now that would be sweet. I should be able to get 5 or 6 sprintcars to show up. Maybe soem of the cincy guys could show up too!

The Cincinnati Dirt Bowl is an indoor r/c raceway. This winter we are changing to off-road. The track use to be a 120' oval, and we ran sprint cars and late models. I was only getting 9 or 10 guys most of the time. Sometimes we would have a decent turnout, but it is tough. There has not been a r/c dirt oval in Cincy for 20 years and there is probley only 10 guys that run dirt oval in the whole city and they all raced at the bowl. the problem is the money. If a guy has nothing and wants to run toward the front he has to spend $1000 to $1500 to get started for a sprint car or late model (1/10th scale). It is no different than any other kind of racing. If one racer is buying a new set of $40 foam tires every week, then everybody has too. Plus it takes lots of work to keep the track in shape.

Off-road r/c cars are a different story. There are way more people into off-road, and it is much cheeper to get started. The trucks we are going to race this winter cost $275 and you can take it right from the hobby shop and race it. The trucks are really cool. They are 1/16th scale stadium trucks,(CORR off-raod trucks) and we are going to race them box stock. There will be a modified class also for the guys that just have to spend money. We should be open for practice in Sept. and racing starts in Oct.



Enough about the r/c cars lets talk TQs.
What gear should I start with for Greensburg? How much stagger do you guys run? Is it a big deal if I don't have a 4-wheeler yet?

No big deal on the 4 wheeler. The other answers depend on how hard you want to turn your motor, what size RR tire and what the car/driver likes. 9.1 gear and 4 inches of stagger should be a good place to start to at least get you in the ball park.

The mini slash is pretty sweet, but I've got entirely too many r/c cars now! I may have to come check it out this winter. Down at the North Vernon track they have been getting 8-12 sprint cars, and I think a few guys are from Cincy. Batesville is also doing open sprints now too.

As far as Greensburg gear, like AJ said, 9.1 should be close. We have went to an 8.9 with good results(but you better have a torquey motor!) Other nights we end up at 9.4, I think I even remember a 9.7 one time.
