1/10th R/C
 

So I work in a hobby shop and got sucked into racing on the carpet this winter and everyone has cars covered in decals and fancy paint. The rule for the class was a body 1980's or older. AE86 works for me, plus I decided to rock the OG Decals...

i always wanted to race on carpet, but nobody does that around me.

Re: 1/10th R/C
 

whats carpet like? I've only ever raced with slicks on pavement...

Re: 1/10th R/C
 

carpet racing to pavement racing is like road racing to full studded ice track racing. WAAAY more grip, much faster paced.

I got out of 1/10 carpet a long time ago, back when the 1400 SCR's were the hot thing.

First to run LTO chassis at our banked oval, no one could touch me for 2 months.

Everyone was having issues coning the RF, they were running greens all around. I was running blues with a blue/orange on the RF.

Freed up the car instead of scrubbibg speed in the corners.

Most fun was a 6 car freight train, me leading (TQ) at a local Wimpy/Bud's race.

Me, Bud Bartos, Mike Pulfer, Joel Johnson, Chris Doesek and David Philhower (another budget racer).......

I came in 4th when Mike pulled a banzai move and took out 4 cars. Must have been 1991 or so.
