RC Bashers

track looks awesome! sorry about the ticket man! my wife got one on easter sunday.

Hey All; Well last weekend was the first annual South Florida Short Course Nationals at RCBasher Raceway in West Palm Beach. Well after a last last minute decision to attend I went ahead and did the dirty deed and attended the 2 day event. I had a blast. But my qualifying didn't go to well since I hadn't touched a truck or pulled a trigger since last months SuperCup spring series finals held there the prevous month. I hadn't even cleaned or prepped my SC rigs since I decided to go on Thursday afternoon for a race held on Sat. And after work on Friday we had a family dinner at my brother in laws house so I didn't even get home to pack my rigs till Friday night at around 11:30 pm and had a 5 am wake up call. So after the long drive (with no tickets from the Po Po 5.0 this time) got there a tad late. But I didn't have to regear anything since we raced there last month. But my qualifiers were pretty much my practice sessions since I got 1 pack in each rig in practice before they closed the track to prep it for our qualifiers. We were going to run 3 qualifier sessions but since things moved along well they opted for 4 instead. Man did that help me out. But the carnage was to insue. In blew 2 shocks out in the SC-10 in different locations and in different qualifiers. Then in 4wd mod I kept popping a ball cup and the marshals kept forgetting to slide the drive shafts together. So that was a wash after only 2 mins. And then in my next Q session I blew an Idler gear in SC-10FT trans and had to do a major tear down and rebuild so missed yet another Q session for stock 2wd. So after all was said and done I made the C-main in both 2wd mod and stock and the Bmain in 4wd mod. We raced on Sunday so I had time to rebuild my shocks in the hotel room after dinner on Sat. night. But was fresh and ready to go on sunday for the mains. So the mains came and I was hoping to do a bit better but I got a 4th in the C main in Pro2 Mod,a 6th in the C main in Pro 2 Stock and a 7th in Pro4 Mod in the B main. Still learning my setups and am thinking of getting some "Race Grade" ESC / Motor combos before the start of the Fall Supercup series starts. Also thinking of dropping Pro4 SC since all the "pros" are picking up that class with the release of the new rigs from Losi and AE. I am looking at maybe running the 2wd Stock Truck class with an AE T4.1 since hopping from 2wd to 4wd to 2wd is screwing with my head and driving technics. Well that is about it so here are the pics. I have some vids as well and will get around to downloading these later on. Thanks for all the support fellas. l8r,Wrench.


Picks of the entries all lined up. I do NOT want to marshal turn one for that start.lol

Hey All; Well after a bit of a summer break was back at it last weekend for the ROAR region 4 races at Coral Springs RC track. Was to be at the Assylum but someone dropped the dime on the track and it was closed down and seems it will not reopen. All in all it was a good weekend. I have decided to drop Pro4 SC in favor of 2wd Stock Truck. I want the consistancy of running 3 2wd classes instead of jumping back and forth from 2wd to 4wd. So I got a killer deal on a AE RC10T4.1 FT and got it all prepped up in time for the races.First time out with the new rig and qualified right away for the A-main and scored an 8th place. Made the B-main in both 2wd SC classes and finished 7th in stock and 9th place in Mod. Had a little rain on Sat morning but after the track crew did a great job we got out Q's in. Small case of sunburn on friday in practice since it was all cloudy and didn't seam that hot.OK then on to the good stuff.the pics.Enjoy.l8r,w.

nice pics man, looks really good.

nice switch over to the 2wd classes. now you can really hone your skills at one type of racing...

Hey All; So after not even looking at an RC in 3 weeks sibce my last race I got a call from a friend who wanted to check this track up the road in Sarasota a few guys built at there garden center they own. It is not a clay track just a Florida dirt surgar sand track well laid out and watered inbetween every round to keep the dust down. We went up just to get some stick time since the SuperCup series doesn't start up again till the end of Aug. for the Fall Series. Well we got up about 8 car loads of people and went up the just play. We got in 2 rounds of qualifying and were about to start the mains when mother nature figured the track was to dry and decided to water it down for us. And us as well. Our pit area flooded out in matter of seconds and we were about washed away. We tryed to wait it out but we got just enough break in the rain to mad dash load up abd get on the road home before all heck broke loose. It was 3 pm and black as night out. I did pretty well and even TQ'd Pro 2 Stock SC class.Got 3rd in qualifying in 2wd stock truck and 6th in pro2 mod SC all in the A Mains. Would have loved to get the mains in but heck had a good time anywho. Well here are the few pics I got to click off. Enjoy.l8r,w.


they ran a new class 2wd SC Buggy.only 2 rigs but looks like a fun class.










After the Monsoon the track was not giving up the watering holes. They are going to tear it all out and add a drainage system and a clay surface in a few weeks to get some of the Florida series to come on out and play there.

Surely the 4wd class could run those water hazards, haha.

Naaaa some of the puddles were at least 10 inches deep. Would swo;;ow a SC4x4 and that dirt was super tacky and gooey to boot. Rig would weigh 10 lbs. just down the straight alone.lol We packed and bolted like everyone else the locals were first to bolt.lol Would be fun to watch though.l8r,w.

Went and hit up the new indoor carpet track. We have been running on Weds nights from 7-10pm and every other weekend for alternating offroad and onroad races. Open practice is all day Sat. and races are on Suns. Have been having a good time with the Sc and Scbuggy. They will starting a pionts series coming in Jan of 2012 with a ton of prizes up for grabs.I finally broke my carpet cherry,wooo hoooo.lol l8r,w.

nice vid man. looks like a lot of fun.

must be practice session huh

That course looks really tight. I wouldn't last 3 seconds before veering off course.

Well now I am into the onroad side of the track now as well. Also the track has now expanded a bit since there was such a large group of regulars showing up. I am prepped and ready for VTA and F-1 series starting up later this month. Had a good day today witha second in the Amain in VTA and just practice laps in F-1 since I was the only one to show up. We have 3 other regulars but they were either hung over or entertaining so I had a ton of practice over the last 4 days I went for practice. Went over on Weds. night and thurs night as well as yest. afternoon and all day today racing. Here is a vid one of our regulars Rossman put together of the action.Enjoy.l8r,w.

vey nice vid man. the wheelies on carpet are awesome!!

Yea my SC and Buggy seem to do them at will now that I got my setup right.

i see onroad in the title.... but....

OK so I finally went and tryed Oval racing. Just wanted to support the sport and give it a try. Wasn't expecting anything at but really was a good time. So I decided to get out my bone stock leftovers RC18LM build. And also ran one of my F-1's as well. Had a real good time even though it was a bit tough. Who would have though going in circles would have been this rough on you and your stuff. So after all the practice and qualifying I ended up 2nd in the A main in Mini Late Models and 3rd in the A main in F-1. Not bad for a carpet oval cherry popping experience. Gott say BIG thanks to the wife who modivated me to race and to the track for hosting the event. As well as the sponsors who put up a box of goodies and everyone went home witha prize. I scored a couple of Tshirts. Top prize was a Tekin RS ESC. It was supposed to just be a one off race but since it was such a success we are haveing another on the 31st of March and maybe even once a month from here on out. Here are few vids the wife tossed together. Enjoy.l8r,w.

i remember practicing tons of laps ont he oval track. only because it was the setup every other week. always had a lot of fun trying to get that perfect line around the track!
