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...

 

video's soon?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

i've got a first gen rc10 sitting beside my monitor right now, sporting 18/38 32p gearing. i smoked the esc trying to break the drag on the car in a 1/5mi stretch

 

Rich...AND Smooth

 

i have a 1/10 rc car, its a traxxas nitro stampede gas motor. thing hauls ***.

 

nitro ftw

 

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.
