Radio Control Car Action Monster Madness has moved

[KevinH]

The 5th annual Radio Control Car Action Monster Madness race will be held at Wolcott Hobby and Raceway in Wolcott CT. We’ll post the dates as soon as we have them.

... and we now have the dates: June 22, 23, and 24.

[Smib]

Oh man, this is awesome. Even though I'm in CT, the old place was a little far to pay to race, but if it's in Wolcott I will definitely show up.

[4DMNYC]

Is is that time already? I feel like the last one just ended. Man time goes by fast these days.

[suckfish]

holy crap, Kevin why are you switching tracks..? Not that's it's a bad thing as Wolcott is a excellent track

[MattHiggins]

I'm thrilled to have this race at Wolcott. The more-central location should be great.

[KevinH]

I'm into it. It's closer to my house!

[4DMNYC]

Is Walcott farther south than Madness is? Is so, it's closer to my house also.

[KevinH]

It's south of Madness. You take the Waterbury mall exit off of rt 84.

[suckfish]

Is Walcott farther south than Madness is? Is so, it's closer to my house also.
It will save you about 40 mins.. Lester and his crew put on a Great Race

[4DMNYC]

ooOOOooo awesome

[4DMNYC]

I know it's still early. But do you know if there will there be an electric MT class again this year? I'd like to try something different.

Will there be a big jump competition again also? I have some toys I'd like to send into orbit :D If not, I can set up the big jump competition.

[KevinH]

uuhhhgggg, politics :rolleyes:

Anyway, regardless of the location. It should be fun. I plan to attend races at both locations this year.

Now for the Monster Madness race. I know it's still early. But do you know if there will there be an electric MT class again this year? I'd like to try something different.

Will there be a big jump competition again also? I have some toys I'd like to send into orbit :D If not, I can set up the big jump competition.

I think we're going to have the same classes we had last year. Everyone seems to like it that way. Wolcott has a ton of land to play with at their shop and we do plan on having other events besides racing during the weekend.

[Smib]

What are you planning on doing about parking and maybe even wrenching area? I don't know how big RC Madness is, but Wolcott isn't all that big. The track is great though.

[KevinH]

What are you planning on doing about parking and maybe even wrenching area? I don't know how big RC Madness is, but Wolcott isn't all that big. The track is great though.

There's plenty of space for parking and pitting. They've had several big events including the Pro Series and there with no problems with parking and pitting.

[suckfish]

I think we're going to have the same classes we had last year. Everyone seems to like it that way. Wolcott has a ton of land to play with at their shop and we do plan on having other events besides racing during the weekend.

The pit area is quite small to put 300 people in.. and unless there planning on ripping apart the mountain behind the track.

[MattHiggins]

The pit area is quite small to put 300 people in.. and unless there planning on ripping apart the mountain behind the track.
At Wolcott, the "paved" area next to the existing pit space can be used by guys like me who bring their own tables. This more than doubles the available pit space. Remember, while RC Madness is a fantastic track, they have no outdoor pit tables and don't allow the off-road guys tp use the indoor pits; you always have to bring your own table.

[MarkWesterfield]

Seriously? You think the pit area is small? You can pretty much pit anywhere on the property. Most of the track supplied pit space isn't even used during the big races because so many people bring their own tents and tables.

[RCSavage]

I see the value of the event but cannot see copyright laws protecting the name of an event. There really is no ownership to it, other than the event being held and run by the track not the magazine. I'm sure somewhere in this country some other track has held a "Monster Madness" race by that name.

By the way Madness lets you pit inside the back. Don't get me wrong, I like Wolcott and race there alot, but the race way co created by Madness and Car Action years ago. Let's be realistic, if it was created at a different track and not RC Madness, would it still have been named "Monster Madness"

One last thing, why no copyright fight over the 1/18 scale nationals that you also lost to RC Drvier also. Still sounds like spite to me.

[Smib]

Ok, now that I think about it the pit area is pretty big, and is fairly empty even on race days. However, on those race days the parking lot is packed. I haven't been there is a little while, but unless they opened up the right side of the track up behind the existing dirt lot, I still don't see how an event this large will be able to fit all the entrants. On the other hand, I don't think that wasn't thought about and dealt with.

[MattHiggins]

Back to the race:
> Would anyone be interested in a possible rock crawling competition?
> Anyone know any possible trophy girls? If not, then it will be Kevin and he doesn't look too good in a bikini!
> Would anyone be interested in a possible showdown race between the winners of a few of the classes? This would put electric vs. nitro in a race.

Basically, let us know what you want to see.

[Smib]

I really like the showdown idea, and rock crawling would be cool too, just have them see who can get the farthest up the mountain! :p

[suckfish]

is Wolcott still planning on having thier Monster Mania Race..? more Monster Trucks the Better :wave:

[KevinH]

I can't wait to be the trophy girl!

[4DMNYC]

I really like the showdown idea. Seems like a fresh idea and it would no doubt be very interesting. The crawling idea is cool. But is that something that would happen simultaneously during race heats? Might be a challenge to squeeze the crawling in.

Kevin in a bikini :eek: where's my camera...

[LD3Furious]

How bout a spud run....Kev can bring his truck (which he picked my name for :P) and show us what it can do! Trophy chicks?...hmmmm....could be an interesting pick up line, LOL!

[suckfish]

I can't wait to be the trophy girl!

some how I knew you'd be up for it.. Do we get to pick your outfit ? little yellow poka dot bikini.. I think I'm going to be sick now.. :flame:

[MattHiggins]

I really like the showdown idea. Seems like a fresh idea and it would no doubt be very interesting. The crawling idea is cool. But is that something that would happen simultaneously during race heats? Might be a challenge to squeeze the crawling in.

Kevin in a bikini :eek: where's my camera... I talked with Kevin, and maybe a crawling thing could happen Saturday night after the last qualifier. It might be more of an exhibition than a full-on comp with judging and trophies.

I think the show down will happen. It should be cool.

[4DMNYC]

How exactly do you judge a crawling competition? It's not like they're racing across the rocks, or are they?

I think I'll be entering the electric MT class. And one of the truggy classes for sure.

[MattHiggins]

How exactly do you judge a crawling competition? It's not like they're racing across the rocks, or are they?

A judge records certain penalties such as using reverse or hitting a cone. In my opinion, we should just have a non-judged exhibition. If there's rocks there, we can set up a course and even let people try it out. I'm sure the local club ( CT Rock Crawlers (http://www.ctrockcrawlers.com)) would love to put on a demo.

[98zr2man]

Rock crawling?? What race is this?? Well I think the 1st Monster Madness had 4 people racing clod busters.LOL

Yeah i remember that !!

[RespirologyRC]

I still think the "Mosnter Madness" event should band buggies. Seeing that they're not monsters at all. Plus they take up soo much time during quals and mains

[gangsta]

Yea, lets ban the biggest nitro offroad class :rolleyes:

[RespirologyRC]

Wolcott hosts a 2 hour buggy endurance race every year. Why can't they do the same for mt's?

[RespirologyRC]

On an upbeat note when will this be hosted? Date?

[MacII]

Electric vs Nitro 5 Min open class - GREAT idea...I'd race (on the electric side!)

[MattHiggins]

Electric vs Nitro 5 Min open class - GREAT idea...I'd race (on the electric side!)
My thought was to take the winner from each class and have them run a single race for a single trophy.

[MacII]

I know it won't be a popular thing to say but I too think that 1/8th buggies should be removed from the line up. Having competed in 3 of the 4 Monster Madness races, I've always wondered my 1/8th scale buggies and 1/10th scale trucks were run at a "Monster" event. Don't they have enough races? Can't we have just ONE race where it's all about big tire action and Monsters not playing 2nd fiddle to any class? Don't get me wrong, on a weekly basis I LOVE the diversity of vehicles that this hobby brings - heck, my primary class is itself a red-headed step child (Electric MT/truggy) - but for this one event, I'd think some boundaries are in order.

[MacII]

My thought was to take the winner from each class and have them run a single race for a single trophy.
Yeah, I can see that, and it would be cool that way. However I'd think a real "Open" Class would be more fun, involve more people, make for some interesting entires, and to finally put to rest the single biggest question in RC...

[alexrckid]

elec and nitro MT's in the same race........awsome(just like we used to do at XTREME)..............wonder if the new owner at XTREME would like to start something like that up again..??...only a thought...

[KevinH]

What would you guys thing of having a hill climb one night?

[suckfish]

Hill climb event would be cool too.. i'd second banning 1/8 buggies for one race. Let the real Monster Trucks have their day.. how about having it 3 or 4 seperate events and crown the Ultimate Monster Truck Champion.. track racing, hill climb, jump compitition, sled pull

[RCSavage]

Seriously, the 1st Monster Madness did not have 1/8 buggies originally, but when a very small amount of people came they added 1/8 buggy to save the race. It's always the biggest class, even at this "Monster" event.

[suckfish]

Seriously, I just bought a new Losi 8, trust me I want to run it.. But I also run Monster Truck and for the day I would rather run 4 races + Main than only getting 2-3+main. plus adding a few other events to bash the Monster Truck..

[KevinH]

Seriously, the 1st Monster Madness did not have 1/8 buggies originally, but when a very small amount of people came they added 1/8 buggy to save the race. It's always the biggest class, even at this "Monster" event.

To save the race? It doesn't matter if 100 or 10 people show up. This race is about getting together and having fun with our monster trucks. The 1/8 scale class gave people another class to run if they wanted to. I don't know where you get your information but you might want to make sure that it's correct before posting.

[RespirologyRC]

Say NO TO buggies! Send me an email and i'll send you a bumper sticker for your MT RC :) (just kidding)

[MarkWesterfield]

1/8th buggy gets "monster" turnouts, So I'm sure the class is here to stay. :D

[MattHiggins]

I'm totally torn on the 1/8-scale buggy class. One, I'll race it. And two, it's good for the track because it's a large class. In contrast, I like the idea of a monster only race. In the end, I'm fine either way, but think it's best to just keep 1/8-scale buggies in.

[gangsta]

For those that want to ban buggys, why not ban those truggys too. After all their just buggys with training wheels :)

I use to run my nitro MT with electric MTs. Hanging out all day for a 5 min race, not my idea of fun. (sorry Dave, no offense) Yes, I know your saying if you can't get it done in 5 min..... Well if your truck can't run for over 5 mins........

There are some debates that will never be won....

No matter what the powers to be decide, I'm dusting off my MT for this one!

[suckfish]

I realize over the last few years that the Monster Truck class numbers have fallen way done.. and yes Buggies & Truggies are here to stay would'nt want it any other way.. But if the race were setup/promoted correctly it would pull more of the everyday Basher to the race.. But like others have said the more entries in a race the better.. I just want to burn some NITRO :flame:

[Madness]

At Wolcott, the "paved" area next to the existing pit space can be used by guys like me who bring their own tables. This more than doubles the available pit space. Remember, while RC Madness is a fantastic track, they have no outdoor pit tables and don't allow the off-road guys tp use the indoor pits; you always have to bring your own table.

Yes, they DO allow people to use the indoor pits, just not the pit spots near the carpet track.

[MattHiggins]

Yes, they DO allow people to use the indoor pits, just not the pit spots near the carpet track.
I forgot about the back pit room. As Madness said, they DO allow people to use the indoor pits. They don't, however, people to use the pit spots near the carpet track.

[MacII]

I see it kind of like one of those rides at a theme park...you know...you must be this tall to ride this ride....same thing with this race, your tire diameter must be this large to race...so truggies would be in. Again, nothing against the 1/8th buggies it would just be nice to have one race where they didn't dominate the scene.

[MattHiggins]

Remember, guys, this thread is to talk about the upcoming race.

[LD3Furious]

Not to flame, Matt/Kev....but at this point in time, there isn't much for anyone to talk about. At least not until you guys or Lester makes a definitive decision as to what is being run and sets a date in stone (rain date not withstanding) for us. You did ask for people to post as to what they wanted, and while some have been more aggressive with their opinion, they have responded to that question. Personally, I will likely be there no matter what runs, unless that date coincides with one of the RCPro dates. Given that, I know I will want to get as much track time as I can, therefor, I would vote to keep the buggies in.

[MattHiggins]

That's not flaming. I'm sure Kevin and Lester will select a date soon.

[suckfish]

Guys i'm not saying ban the buggies..(well i guess I would perfer for one race) it's only a opinion being giving for input to the race.. Lester has the facility where all these things could be done for Monster Trucks.. Again it's only a idea.. I just want to burn some NITRO :flame:

[RespirologyRC]

I forget which track it was, but one of the tracks near Wolcott (maybe in Jersey or NY), split their big event between two weekends. Maybe the same can be done. You know put the buggies on the first weekend with the electric trucks or something. Then put the MT's and Truggies on the following weekend. If i'm thinking correctly the MT class had 25 entries last summer.

I would definetly be satisfied if RCCaraction hosted a day of MT endurance racing. One race $65.00 buy-in 4 person teams and a 3hour main :) That would be cool. It could be called "MT Supremacy Race"

[RespirologyRC]

I was just thinking about this: There should be a 1/12 Truggy class. That would be cool; considering that the small block class is mainly Revo's it's really not that different if there were a 1/12 CRT Truggy class :)

[roysays]

it's all about the money. the 1/8 buggies are there so the track owner can make more money.

also the Monster Truck class has been on the decline the last couple of years so if they didn't have a big enough turnout a few years back then they definatly wouldn't now.

[RespirologyRC]

Who says MT's are in a decline? If i'm not mistaken they are the hottest things selling. The reason why people chose to race buggies over a traditional MT is because of handling. Buggy racers can't handle or figure out an MT's suspension; it's too difficult for their tiny little brains. SO as a result they go out and buy a buggy. :) LOL

[MarkWesterfield]

Most monster trucks are sold to people who will never bring them to a track to "race". The hottest thing selling, yes. The hottest thing racing, no.

All of this Nitro Mt vs. Nitro Buggy is great :D

[RespirologyRC]

Well this is a thread for "Monster" racing. I didn't see anything in the title that stated "RCCA 5th Annual Buggy Madness", and i wrong? I didn't think so

[RespirologyRC]

You know what really burns me and may be just may be KevinH or MatH can fix this: Every year it's obvious that more buggy racers turn out for this race than MT's (I'll admit to this), but why are the MT guys constantly being put last in the lineup to race? I think the MT guys should have OUR qual before the buggy quals.

Every where i race the MT's are always placed last and then when it's time for marshals to come out there are none. All the buggy guys just pack up and go home. I guess this explains the why the class is the way it is.

[suckfish]

Most monster trucks are sold to people who will never bring them to a track to "race". The hottest thing selling, yes. The hottest thing racing, no.

All of this Nitro Mt vs. Nitro Buggy is great :D

Now with that said dont you think if you made the race more appealing to people who buy Monster Trucks either for racing or Bashing might come to the race just for Monster Trucks.. I mean really people were talking about one race with the name Monster MADNESS.. If Monster trucks are selling isnt that a way for RCCA to get more advertisements.. By hosting a Race for the Hottest Selling Product they Advertise.. again it's only my opinion..

Now Resp take a breath we do this for FUN... But your right why do Monster Trucks always end up last, mostly not always..

[RespirologyRC]

I've been inhaling too much paint again. :) Opps made a mistake on this buggy body i'm working on :) Hopefully the owner will never see this giant size gash on the inside.

[LD3Furious]

Doh!

[LD3Furious]

Just tell 'im ...thas why companies make their logo stickers so large :D

[suckfish]

:flame: RespirologyRC :flame: Not Nice

[RespirologyRC]

Suckfish what do you think; giant size sticker work or don't work? LOL I'm just messing with you bro your buggy body is doing fine in my dogs mouth

[gangsta]

I see it kind of like one of those rides at a theme park...you know...you must be this tall to ride this ride....same thing with this race, your tire diameter must be this large to race...so truggies would be in.
This is from R/C PRO rules...

Monster Truck

Scale - 1/10-1/8
Description:
To be a Monster Truck, the lowest point of the engine must sit at least 1.5" inches above the lowest point along the front-back centerline when compressed (usually the "skid plates").
To tech questionable MTs, remove the wheels, place MT on flat surface, compress the vehicle fully and a ruler (or 1.5" gauge) could be used vertically to measure the engine above the surface.
The following trucks are examples that fit within the above definition: T (and S) -Maxxes, Savage, MGT, Revo, TNX/TC and LST providing no modifications have been made to make the vehicle not meet the Monster Truck rules.


Minimum track width - - - - - - - - - - - - - Continuous 10 feet (same as 8th scales)
Wheel base - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Minimum 12 inches
Wheelbase -------------------------------------- Maximum 16 inches
Vehicle width maximum ---------- outside tire to outside tire ----------- 19.5 inches
Transmission - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Must be multi speed gear reduction. Diffs inside the transmission are allowed only. Front and rear brakes allowed.

.21 to .28 Big blocks: 4300 grams (~9.5 pounds) minimum weight
Maximum weight for the safety of turn marshals ------------------- 13 pounds 6 ounces
Fuel Tanks - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Single fuel tanks only.
Fuel Tank Volume Rule ----------------- Based on motor size. .20999 or less will be limited to a maximum of 150mililitres/cc ------------- .21 and over is limited to a maximum of 175mililitres/cc. This includes fuel line from tank to carb and filter(s).
Bodies - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Truck or SUV (no buggy or car bodies allowed )
Bumpers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Bumpers are optional. If used, must not extend further than 1" past the body on the front and rear.
Rear Spoiler/wing - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A spoiler/wing is optional.
Skid Plates - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Skid Plates must not extend further than 1" past the body on the front and rear.

Cutting or modifying the tread is allowed. Modifying the tire carcass by sectioning or narrowing is prohibited. Due to the varying sizes of wheels available for Monster Trucks it IS legal to trim the mounting bead of a tire produced for the Monster Truck class to make it fit a Monster Truck rim. Example - Bowtie on a REVO wheel. All tire measurements reference the carcass dimensions and does not include the tread depth or width.
Tire diameter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Minimum - 5.1" (mounted)
Tire width - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Minimum - 2.75"(mounted)

I could copy out ROAR's MT rules but there basically the same. As you can see there's more to the MT class than BIG TIRES. Like NO center diff and engine mount hight. So truggys should be out, too.

[gangsta]

Well this is a thread for "Monster" racing. I didn't see anything in the title that stated "RCCA 5th Annual Buggy Madness", and i wrong? I didn't think so

The race is called "Monster Madness" not monster "truck" madness. So Let's just all get along and burn some nitro (or battery packs) and make this a "Monster" of a race!

MTs In, Truggys in, Buggys in, heck if there's enough 10th scale trucks in

[RespirologyRC]

So are Proline Crowd Pleazers not allowed then because they don't look like truck body or SUV body? And shouldn't Revo's NOT be allowed in with the BB class because they obviously weigh less than a normal MT? Man i should be more of stickler when i go racing. That would make it easier for me to win :)

I can see it now; "All of you MT guys running CP bodies; hmm Ya, their not allowed, oh and all of you guys who are racing Revo's that don't weigh 9.5lbs or more--ya your out too!" LOL that would leave me and a couple of LST2 owners to race in the BB MT class. I would put money down that SLaydens Revo last year didn't weigh anything close to 9.5lbs when he was racing in the BB class :cool:

[RespirologyRC]

gangsta what do you race? I'm just curious, and where do you race?

[gangsta]

BUGGYS. I have also raced MT and plan to run it again next season. My tiny little brain can figure out MT suspension and handling just fine. I just choose to run a vehicle that's made for racing. I got sick of having to dump a bunch of $ into a MT, just to make it race worthy. When it comes to durability, I"ll put my 8th scale buggy up against my $3,000 suppermaxx any day. Or any MT for that reason. I prefer to spend my $ on tires, fuel, engines, racing. Not rebuilding my MT.

I run mostly at Wolcott Hobby. Hope to meet you and run against you at Monster madness. I hope to run both MT and Buggy there.

[gangsta]

I could be wrong but....Crowd Pleaser bodys are suppose to look like those baja truck bodys and those are TRUCKS and so, are allowed.

[suckfish]

please boys play nice, We all know that anything that burns Nitro is welcome to race unless it's a RCPro Series then only 1/8 buggies are allowed.. I'm racing Both 1/8 and BB Monster Truck...
Gansta and RespirollogyRC can each race their 3K Supermaxx :bang:

[4DMNYC]

Just got word, there will be about five people from Staten Island going. All enterting the MT, and truggy classes. Can we register at the event, or do we need to do it in advance?

[LD3Furious]

Most of Lester's events (save for RCPro) have been sign up on day of, but you could call em to be sure. Dunno if I'll get to go to MI, so if I don't, I'll get to meet you there which will be cool. Even if I don't race, I know I'll still go, just to hang out, help pit or corner if needed :)

[4DMNYC]

Actualy, I think we met at the last monster madness? Or was it the 18th scae nats? I know I met suckfish at both events. Weren't you driving the Corona truck?

[LD3Furious]

Nah, I didn't go to MM last year and never been to the 1/18 races, lol

[4DMNYC]

haha :o ok, wrong person :o I look foward to meeting you then :wave: You should try to get out to MI too. It's shaping up to be alot of fun.

[suckfish]

Actualy, I think we met at the last monster madness? Or was it the 18th scae nats? I know I met suckfish at both events. Weren't you driving the Corona truck?
That would be the nut job RespirologyRC that was with me.. I'll be going also as I havent missed one yet and dont plan on missing this one.. Bring your BB boys get ready to get stomped.. But i'll see you at the 1/18 Nationals in April? Right?

[4DMNYC]

Oh yeah, I'll definitly be at the 18th scale nats. That one of my favorites.

I'm really looking foward to the MM race too. I've been itching to race electric mt for some reason. I guess it's because I never entered that class. And the truggy classes are always exciting. Will you be entering the same clases as last year?

[RespirologyRC]

That was me with the corona body :) I was making my way up to the amain when my screws got loose in my VBS. I had Slayden on my Radar ;)

In all honesty I had a great time at Monster Madness. I will be there also. In regards to those Staten Island guys; there crazy, but cool. They were pitted directly in front of Team Suckfish, and couldn't get any of their MT's to run for more than 5 minutes if that. Good group though. They swiped the concourse trophy from me because RCCA decided that trucks also had to have a lot of bling bling under the hood---WHO KNEW?? :cool:


gangsta: what problems were you having with your supermaxx? Mine is pretty reliable and durable. I would use steel screws and not plastic ones :teacher:

[suckfish]

I'm gonna run BB Monster Truck as always and 1/8 buggy.. and If you mean the Nationals i'll be running my MLST and going to Mini T, and I'm seriouley considering buying a AE 18R they just look cool on the track & jump pretty darn good too.. I have to admit it is a very fun race, but arnt they all

[suckfish]

got a new Losi 8, OS.21VG & pipe OS T2050.. Merry Xmas to Me

Just for the record, that Staten Island crew was not mine. My crew was the one with all the black R/C Entertainment shirts on. We were all running around with cameras and whatnot ;) And I also voted for your body.

[suckfish]

just for the record both crews from Staten Island were/are Great people.. they also always come to the nationals.. I must say we met another group from down your way when we went to NC this fall at The Farm II.. Great bunch of folks , which is totally surprising your mostly Yankee fans.. :wave:

[suckfish]

RespirologyRC got ROBBED for sure.. thiers no accounting for someone elses taste tho..

[4DMNYC]

Hahaha, yeah most people on SI are Yankee fans. But s'all good. We're all rc fans.

[suckfish]

Absolutley thier Brotha... I want to burn some NITRO :flame:

[suckfish]

sorry for all the posts , but it's a real slow day at work.. good thing i'd never be able to keep up on this board if I couldnt browse all day.. i may be in for going to MI if the dates stay in May.. That would be a real fun Road Trip

[4DMNYC]

Are there dates yet for the Monster Madness race? I have alot of trips planned for the spring/summer season and I'd like to start organizing everything.

[suckfish]

[LD3Furious]

And home of the 1/8 Worlds in '08 :)

[RespirologyRC]

Hey suckfish just let me know when and i'm with you 100%, I'll even bring us a pit person :)

Staten Islang guys are cool. I just saw an episode of "True LIfe", on MTV about Staten Island girls...4DMNTC any relation? JK

[4DMNYC]

^^^LOL, hell no. I saw that. Bad representaion for Staten Islanders..lol

[RespirologyRC]

LOL I thought i saw a short dude 5'6" with dark hair and a RC MT in the background of one of there scenes. I think it was when the girls were in the club :) LMAO

[KevinH]

We are working on finding a date and we'll let you know as soon as we figure it out. Things are looking good so far. It's going to be a good race.

[RespirologyRC]

I would love to race against you KevinH. This time i will bring my scale to make sure your revo is at least 9.5lbs; i want to keep things honest :)

Bra-ring-it popcorn

[RespirologyRC]

Although my supermaxx is on a little diet; it loves to eat titanium stuff :)

[gangsta]

That was me with the corona body :) I was making my way up to the amain when my screws got loose in my VBS....

gangsta: what problems were you having with your supermaxx? Mine is pretty reliable and durable. I would use steel screws and not plastic ones :teacher:

First of all... I use all my plastic screws on my buggy cause I know I don't have to take that apart so much :rolleyes: Would you like to borrow a few for your VBS :D

As for my SM.
1. I don't like rebuilding my tranny every gallon or so and I'm not spending over $200 for a used OTB.
2. Sick of the pins on the dogbone end of the cvds falling out. And not spending $120 for 4 new ones.
3. Arms wear out and you can't get new ones.
4. I like to race something I can get parts for.
5. I could go on forever, but we're getting way off topic.

It will be rebuilt for monster madness and for the pro-series.

[RespirologyRC]

Dude your truck sounds weird. Are you sure you bought UE stuff and not fake 6061 aluminum crap-ola?

[suckfish]

I would love to race against you KevinH. This time i will bring my scale to make sure your revo is at least 9.5lbs; i want to keep things honest :)

Kevin he so wants to play with the Big Dogs.. gotta make the A Main first.. :roll2:

[RespirologyRC]

Suckfish that was simply evil. That would be something a wife would do to her husband but not a friend to a friend.... woaaaaa my dog is choking on a freshly painted buggy body. man i hope the owner doens't notice the teeth marks, OR the ginormous gash. Whatever he'll never make to the AMain either unless it's amainhobbies.com

[suckfish]

:bang: evil you want to know what evil is, is teasing poor little pouty boy ME over my buggy body... That's not even remotely funny.. I really dont mind the teeth marks but make sure thiers no SloBer on them..

A SM is just like a jammin buggy..... outdated !!

I don't care what they name this race or the other race in enfield. I will be at both.

[RespirologyRC]

Outdated sure, but people still pay big $$ for old Mustangs :)

[gangsta]

You can get parts for an old mustang.

Hey RespirologyRC, Where do you run? I thought I was the only one still holding on to my SM.

[gangsta]

just like a jammin buggy..... outdated !!

Yea your right. Was thinking .... getting an losi8 this month, selling it, getting an team magic, than selling it the month the new associated comes out. I'm running for President of the buggy of the month club :D

[RespirologyRC]

gangsta; I run at RCMadness and sometimes (sometimes) practice at rc excitement. I don't really care for rc excitement because of thier track. tons of rocks sticking up out of the ground. Coming down and hitting a rock doesn't sound like fun to me. I race regularly all summer long in the BB class with my supermaxx. I have a 100% UE Supermaxx (thunder chassis, rc-x, vbs, 8 gear spyder, strobe slipper, 16tooth bell, 4 shoe ue clutch, otb 1st and 2nd gears, 3 sets of SUper6's, dace 23's, titanium 6mm cvd's, SSaver, strobe limiters, tony screws, Respiro custom paint job :),titanium UE pillow balls, set back arms, UE supershocks, and plenty of spare parts to keep me going for a long time. The only thing I do not have on my truck is the Strobe Sprong. I feel that the strobe slipper is more than enough for the job. I like to race with a GS 25 engine. Everytime this thing breaks i rebuild it and use it. I'll use it until the sleeve is dead. I have a RB 728 as a backup but don't particulary care for the torque or lack their of.

I know my truck is some what antiquated but it handles the track at the madness very nice and can take a licking and keep on ticking. I have it dialed to the point where i don't make many changes to my setup unless it's changing clutch shoes, rebuilding my engine, or cleaning my truck. I check the OTB and super6 3-4 weeks or every 2 gallons. I don't race with any super hyper modded engine in it so the super6 and otb aren't being abused. Now if i had a VG30 or something huge in it i would probably do break down checks a hole lot sooner than my normal 3-4 week intervals.

[RespirologyRC]

Oh one last thing: Say no to :bang: buggies :D

[suckfish]

SAy yes to my Losi 8 :flame:

[gangsta]

RespirologyRC, I look forward to running against you and your SM. I run the Thunder chassis, with UEs older style diff (ultra lites), supper6, UE top shaft, strope slipper. I run the moded traxxas 1st 2nd gear (just replace it every gallon). I busted an rc-x arm and at the time could not get a new one so I swithed to RPM arms. SSaver, UE shocks, dace 23s, UE cvd's (with plenty extras). I guess you could say it's only 75% SupperMaxx. I'm planing on going back to a small block. I also have enough spare parts to keep me going for a long time.

[RespirologyRC]

I'm telling you Supermaxx's are pretty tough. I feel comfortable in long mains knowing that i can take plenty of tumbles and keep on going :)

[suckfish]

REsp you racing this Friday Night ? ?

[RespirologyRC]

Not unless your racing :)

[suckfish]

Well the skinny is I asked the wife if I could, but she reminded me that it was her weekend.. I said the weekend didnt start until Sat..I mean we arnt going until Sat morning.. :teacher: So I wont be racing this weekend. :bang: :mad:

[RespirologyRC]

hahahahaha Your wife won't let you come out and PLAY tonight----hahahaha :driving:

That's why you should stay with your boyfriend. ;)

[suckfish]

Well it's not like your's who cant wait for you to leave :D oh

Oh Wait that's what she said too boyfriend :cool:

hahahahaha Your wife won't let you come out and PLAY tonight----hahahaha :driving:

That's why you should stay with your boyfriend. ;)

[RespirologyRC]

:bang:

[suckfish]

:confused: Well to keep this thread on topic... Resp does that mean the race body you were painting for me and Monster Madness Race is no longer :confused:

[LD3Furious]

I thought the dog ate it ;)

[RespirologyRC]

Well i guess i just intimidated the mods. Now they're not going to show up and race. That's cool I'll go racing anyways :)

[KevinH]

We have a date! June 22-24. Get your trucks together!

[suckfish]

My calender just became free... Sounds Great Kevin

[Slaydaddy]

The 2007 RCCA Monster Madness event is going to be a great race. I am looking forward to it. It looks as if the changes made are going to breathe new life into the already fun monster truck event.

I personally would like to see it more monster truck oriented, since it was designed to be more for the MT's. I wouldn't go as far as excluding everything else, but I would definitely put more focus on the MT classes. If it were a buggy event, I wouldn't expect focus on the MT's. There are plenty of buggy races all over the country though.

Now, on with the Monster Madness. Traxxas will most definitely be there. I myself, Mike Battaile, Bobby Tillman, and couple others may be there to help out Traxxas racers and to also have fun in some of the events there. I plan to do more than just race at this one. Not sure what yet, but I want to try out one of the other contests that Kevin H and the rest of the RCCA crew is planning on. I can't wait.

Mark your calendars, because Traxxas will be there. :)

[4DMNYC]

And so will I, those dates are perfect. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.


Welcome slaydaddy...

[98zr2man]

Works for me, i'll be there with the revo.

Leo

[98zr2man]

Works for me, i'll be there with the revo.

Leo


Maybe not, it's the same weekend of round 1 of the northeast pro-series.

[roysays]

they better change the date or attendance will be down due to the Pro Series.

[LD3Furious]

Yeah, that definitely makes it a tough choice for me.

[RespirologyRC]

Slaydaddy; are you Slayden? If so...Brother; i'm bringing my Maxx like i always do and i'm giving you the SMACK DOWN!!!Got a Revo no problem I'm still giving you and it a SMACK DOWN!!!!!! :) ya baby! Kevin H. you too!

[4DMNYC]

:flame: uh oh...way to stir the pot and create some competition!!! popcorn

[KevinH]

Slaydaddy; are you Slayden? If so...Brother; i'm bringing my Maxx like i always do and i'm giving you the SMACK DOWN!!!Got a Revo no problem I'm still giving you and it a SMACK DOWN!!!!!! :) ya baby! Kevin H. you too!


Soooooo. What class or classes are you running? I might have to dust something off. popcorn Yes that is Slayden.

[daedaleus]

Hope they change the date or else going to Rome, NY for the Proseries. Certainly does not seem fair to CRC as there are only 2 Proseries races in the true northeast and will make it to Wolcott for the Proseries also.

[KevinH]

We are working on finding a new date and I'll post it as soon as we get that figured out.

[suckfish]

Slaydaddy; are you Slayden? If so...Brother; i'm bringing my Maxx like i always do and i'm giving you the SMACK DOWN!!!Got a Revo no problem I'm still giving you and it a SMACK DOWN!!!!!! :) ya baby! Kevin H. you too!
sounds like a challange, Nice going RespirologyRC piss off the good guys :flame:

[RCSavage]

+1 on not the same weekend as the pro series! Not the truck Nats either, please!!

[lextek]

sounds like a challange, Nice going RespirologyRC piss off the good guys :flame:
All this talk and I'm going to have to buy another Revo and come witness this!

[mugenX5]

Slaydaddy; are you Slayden? If so...Brother; i'm bringing my Maxx like i always do and i'm giving you the SMACK DOWN!!!Got a Revo no problem I'm still giving you and it a SMACK DOWN!!!!!! :) ya baby! Kevin H. you too!

LOL!!

[RespirologyRC]

I will be racing in BB MT; the funny thing is any vehicle is capable of a podium spot---In capable hands. The Maxx is capable, very capable in my hands :)

[Slaydaddy]

LOL, I love the enthusiasm. I'm sure they will get a date worked out that will make everyone happy. I don't want any excuses for any MT racers not to show up to the Monster Madness. This is 'THE' monster truck race to hit in the northeast, and I have a blast at this event every year.

I like hanging out with all of you monster truckers in that part of the country. You guys (and gals) really dig it. It's cool.


Bring whatever MT you got, just don't bring it weak.... ;)


You might want to check into our contingency program that we are offering for the Monster Madness race this year. There will be cash money up for grabs in the standard monster truck class (or the small block MT class - depending on what classes there will be). We will have more details soon (on the Traxxas site), and RCCA will get all of the info too as soon as it is all lined out.


I hope to see everyone there!!!




Yo Kevin, is that a challenge? What extra class should I enter? :)

[LD3Furious]

Hmmm...Hope you can get a good date change...I might have to break out my MGT and show all you Revo/Maxx guys just how tough a REAL! MT should be :P:P:P

[artieballz]

hmmm lets just hope no rain as most of us know how its such a mess when it rains there lol that dam mud and clay lolwho remembers the pro series!!! see yA all there artie ballz BALLZ RACIN

[LD3Furious]

Got sawdust? ;)

[KevinH]

We have a new and final date. June 22-24. Mark it down and get your vacations lined up. We will also have the guys from the RCMTRA holding a side-by-side monster truck race during the weekend. If you have a Clod, TXT-1, or Twin Force bring it with you. Check out www.rcmtra.com for more information. And don't forget www.wolcotthobby.com for directions and more information. :winner:

[LD3Furious]

Sweet....BIG! thx to you, Lester, and now RCMTRA, for coming up with a solid date that doesn't appear to conflict with other races. And thx to RCMTRA for joining, from seeing their website, it looks like it should be a killer w/end :):):)

[mLst182]

Awesome, Im glad its earlier in the summer instead of late in August like last year. I was thinking it might conflict with me going to college. But now its not so its all good. Just be prepared for the 3 letter trucks this year--- TNX !!!!

Any word on if Tamiya will be there this year ?

[RCMTRA Pres.]

We here at The R/CMTRA are very excited in joining RCCA in this great and exciting event coming this June 22-24, 2007 @ Wolcott. We have a track layout for this event on the side-by-side R/C Monster Truck portion of the event.

If you wish to race on a Monster course designed and detailed just like the tracks at a USHRA event. We will do just that for the 1/10th scale R/C Monsters. We are determined to help make this RCCA event one of the best events possible. So, don't miss it. If things work out for the best The R/CMTRA may be a part of this awesome event from here on in. Help support the hobby and your local race track.

Anyone can contact me direct @ rcmtra@aol.com for further information about our involvement. Hope to see u all there!

Tony - R/CMTRA Pres.

[RespirologyRC]

What are the rules for the Monster truck race? I imagine that chevron tires would be required right??

[RCMTRA Pres.]

Yes, and no. The tires must be of the dimensions of a clod size tire or slightly larger.

[KevinH]

I'll have my proto truck ready to go!

[artieballz]

haha yo kev ya better build a new 1 as this still wont win haha lata man see ya at the wram show peace outttttt ARTIE BALLZ

[GT Freak]

What about the 'pede bros:confused: those r the best bashers out.....

[RCMTRA Pres.]

Pede's are cool but there just isn't enough running time for them at this event. Sorry, but will be a factor in an event @ The R/CMTRA one day. We would like to see more of them involved in the east coast.

[LD3Furious]

Just a quick note...(shameless plug)
Ill be at the event. I am on the Nomadio 007 Team, so if anyone wants to try the React/Sensor...feel free to look me up :)

[haugbucs]

Sounds like a sweet event, I will be there. How do we let you know we are coming? East coast RC rules! LMK Justin @ www.rcmonstermotorsports.com

[RespirologyRC]

hahahah I was going to go on a Road trip that weekend but i guess i'll stick around town to woooop some butt!

[Slaydaddy]

RCMTRA Pres, I think it's cool your club is going to be there. I like having different activities going on. And I think it's good to get the two at the same event. Should be a lot of fun.

[awnelson]

Steve, when are you guys going to get a new electric MT or Maxx out the door? We are all patiently waiting but I'm getting bored. The revised Stampede is nice but doesn't count for "new".

[RCMTRA Pres.]

Hey Slaydaddy,
Yes, i think the event is going to be a hell of a Weekend of racing. I look forward to meeting you and the rest of the sponsors and factory drivers who show. You will get to see our type of racing and the type of scale realism tracks we construct.

Tony - R/CMTRA Pres.

[RCMTRA Pres.]

Haugbucs,
I will let you know once the details are straight. Waiting on RCCA to send me info.

[artieballz]

hotel is booked for across the street of the track!!!! lol dont u just love that place lol lol

[jbiv]

A couple of "Q's"
1. Can I run a 1/8 scale wing on my Jato for the race?
2. Can I run the TRX 3.3 engine for the race?
KevinH - I just got off the phone with Walcott and they said that the date hasn't changed. When I asked, they said it was still June 8 9 & 10. So what is the date?

Thanks,
JJ

[RespirologyRC]

I just went to the WOlcott web page and couldn't find any info about this event. I'm guessing they don't want to promote it. When i traveled down to NC to race at The Farm 2, their web site recommend hotels and things to do around the area. THat was an awsome track, which i will be attending this year. Com'on Wolcott put some info on your web page for those of us that haven't been to your track before :confused:

I don't see why you couldn't run a 1/8-scale wing and a 3.3. This race is all about having fun. There really aren't any rules. The dates that you have listed are correct. June 8, 9, and 10. See you there.

The race is still a few months off. There are other events happening at the track before ours. I'm sure the information about the race will be up in a timely fashion.

[Slaydaddy]

It's cool to see everyone getting amped already. It's going to be a cool weekend.

[suckfish]

Well i'd really like to bring down my travel trailer , anyone know of any close camp grounds , or will lester let us put it by the track for three days?? it's kinda nice that the race is a little early this year too.. Can you smell the NITRO...

I wouldn't be suprised if Lester said yes. Does that thing have ac? I might have to hang out to get away from the heat and Slayden. He talks alot. :D

[mLst182]

Theres a HUGE parking lot across from Wolcott Hobby . Its a VFW if Im correct and Im sure there will be parking there and theres never anyone there so Lester can probably get permission.

Don't forget that there's lots of land on the opposite side of the track. There's plenty of room for everyone.

[suckfish]

I wouldn't be suprised if Lester said yes. Does that thing have ac? I might have to hang out to get away from the heat and Slayden. He talks alot. :D

You better believe it's got AC... I'll have to give Lester a call when it gets closer to race time.. Kevin your more than welcome to hang out with Suckfish Racing :cool:

Gonna have any grub? popcorn

[RespirologyRC]

Suckfish i've got top bunk!

[98zr2man]

Lester is one of the coolest and easy going track owners out there so pitting a trailor shouldn't be a problem. Aycoth and Danny Morse have pitted there trailers at wolcott before.

I had a great time at all (4) monster madness races held in the past and looking forward to another weekend hanging out and racing. Wolcott has alot of pitting but if you want to be up front (get there early)

Hey Steve, time to gear that revo higher for wolcott !! Have to keep in front of KevinH....hehe

Leo

[suckfish]

[RespirologyRC]

Neil your gonna need to bring some speed if your going to where the yellow shirt :teacher:

[KevinH]

Thanks. I like my hotdogs with mustard.

[Ghostrider]

I don't know if I bring enough speed, but I always bring my fully stocked

I plan on running my Revo. I just have to give it a slight overhaul. I also plan on running my new custom solid axle monster.

[Ghostrider]

Cool, I'm picking up my MBX5T Prospec tonight. I'll try the truggy, Unlimited,
Arena truck what ever you want to call it, class this year. I hear its dialed
and fast. Now I can hit the pipes even harder now.

"We have 10 acres to park on, as well as camp on. We are also the only ones with outside Pit tables set up for people to use. There is plenty of room if everyone works together and does not get carried away.

There will be designated areas for trailers and Campers if needed. Please call the shop in advance so I will be made aware of who needs space.

Thanks guys,

Thanks for the information Lester. We hope to see a lot of you at this race. It's going to be a fun weekend.

[RespirologyRC]

Lester your invited to the Suckfish Trailer Party too. Anyone else??? Just remember if you name isn't on the list; Slayden isn't taking any bribes-- :D

[RCRevolution]

OMG WOLCOTT!!!!

I there NO DOUBT!

I run on the track all the time with my revo and have some decent lap times.

Plus its about 30 min away from me not 2 hours like enfield was

[RespirologyRC]

RCRevolution; your telling me from Enfield to Wolcott it's a 1.5hr ride? Man that sucks! So i guess Wolcott is 3 hrs from me. Definitely staying somewhere; I don't care if i end up sleeping in my car and showering at McDonalds LOL

[mugenX5]

Wolcott is a 1.5 hr ride to Enfield..........with all of your rc gear in a milkcrate on the back of your MOPED!

[98zr2man]

ok partners sounds like our trialer is going to be the one to be at.Sounds good to me

SUCKFISH RACING will be in the HOUSE

[jbiv]

Can I run a 2 speed in my Jato for the race?

[RespirologyRC]

Can I run a 2 speed in my Jato for the race?

If your a very good racer= No
If your somewhat decent but nowhere close to pro=Yes

Everyone gives me a 2 lap advantage and i still come in last :D

[jbiv]

Good, now I don't need to spend $10 on a single speed conversion.
Well this will be my first race so I am not expecting to do well.

[KevinH]

Good, now I don't need to spend $10 on a single speed conversion.

Don't worry about having a two-speed in your truck. We just want you to have fun racing your truck. I wouldn't care if you stuffed a .32 in it.

[LD3Furious]

I don't see why you couldn't run a 1/8-scale wing and a 3.3. This race is all about having fun. There really aren't any rules. The dates that you have listed are correct. June 8, 9, and 10. See you there.



Just trying to avoid total confusion...hopefully Kev, Les, and RCMTRA can all get together here...In a post on Wolcott's forum, dated this past Fri, March 9...Les posted the 2007 outdoor schedule he has planned. I offer this direct quote...
"June 22, 23, 24 Rc Car Action and Wolcott Hobby present Monster Madness 5 Friday practice from 11am till 7pm, Saturday qualifying, Sunday mains!! "
On a positive note, Ive heard that outdoor club racing may begin as early as Sunday, March 25, weather permitting. Let's get ready to burn some nitro :):):)

I have to check on a few things tomorrow to see what the real dates are. I'm a little confused on the date now myself. We'll put a final stamp on the date as soon as I can get all this straightened out. It looks like the 8, 9, and 10 are not the correct dates as a Pro-series is that weekend. I think the later June dates might be correct. Sorry for the confusion. I have a thousand things going on right now. Wolcott Hobby, RCMTRA, and I have a meeting next weekend to figure everything out so I have to make sure the dates are correct by then. Again I'm sorry for the confusion.

The correct dates are: June 22-24!

Hey everyone, So far it seems as if the race dates for the RC Monster Madness event will be June 22 - 24. Kevin, Lester, and myself will be meeting on Saturday in Wolcott to finalize some things. This event will be an awesome one and i am very fortunate to have been included in this huge event by RCCA. I look forward to meeting people and having a fun filled weekend of racing.

Not this again. :roll2:

Monster Madness is our race. It's hard to get dropped as a sponsor when it's our race. RC Madness is doing their thing this year and we are doing ours. That's all there is to it. There's no bad blood. Can't we all just get along?

[Ghostrider]

Hey Kev, you running Saturday at Wolcott? Theres a trophy race. Les had
nine heats last Sunday before it rained.

No, I haven't even thought about racing yet. I have too many things to do for the mag.

Wasn't trying to start any trouble at all. Just asking a simple question, as it has been held at Enfield since inception, I believe.

[Slaydaddy]

Wolcott will be sweet. I'm looking forward to it.

[Chevy-SS]

Wolcott will be sweet. I'm looking forward to it.

Are you gonna be racing a "standard" Revo, or will it be some wildly modified rig that has a couple of Revo parts and mostly everything else from Area 51??

LOL

:)

[Ghostrider]

Hey Steve its Neil. I hung with you guys after the Madness race last year
when you were packing up. Hows the racing been? We just got started
here (CT) last Sunday. Cold, man it was cold. We need some Texas heat!

[RespirologyRC]

You guys started racing in Wolcott? Are you guys racing off-road; what classes? I would go down this weekend but it looks like it's going to rain.

[LD3Furious]

Yes, outdoor opened this past Sun. Les also has a trophy race this Sat, day before Easter. Offroad, 1/8 B/TRuggy, Production MT , and 1/10 Stadium.

[RespirologyRC]

Hmmm looks like it's going to rain. Man that stinks!

[alexrckid]

rain and cold.....double sucks

[RespirologyRC]

No way man; I like to stay warm. I'll see wolcott during june :)

[Slaydaddy]

Chevy-SS, aside from a larger tank, battery relocation and few aftermarket items it's a Revo - Revo chassis, revo suspension, Revo tranny, Revo drivetrain, Revo engine, etc.


Ghostrider, things are going great. Can't wait to check out Wolcott. Sounds like a nice track. Looking forward to the race.

Some pic's of the newest wolcott layout for this weekends trophy race.

The monster madness race will have it's own new layout but this will give anyone an idea of the wolcott track size.

See ya there:
