It's not what you think! I am in the bay area and like to race RC cars, but i don't know anyone around here that races/runs them.

Is there anyone out there that has RC cars that would maybe want to meet up somewhere on a weekly basis and run/race their cars against mine? Prefereably pavement, but dirt is ok too!

It could be fun!

I race RC cars at Nor-Cal Hobbies. You should stop by there it's at 30600 Union City Blvd. in Union City Tel.# (510)324-5700. They have one of the best track in the US. By the way what kit do you have? I drive a yokomo BD..

I am currently running a Losi Mini-T (stadium truck) that is ALL aluminum and CF and Mamba brushless system. I can set it up for street if need be. Is that place in Union City offroad? onroad? indoor? outdoor?

I'ts out door on road track for 10th scale and in door for mini z cars. You can drive your mini T on the out door track.

Let me know when they race...or at least practice and I'm there! I need to set my car up for street, but no biggy there.

I have a 1/10th Nitro TC3 fully modded. Cost me $1300 and I went all out cramming a 18TZ turbo engine. Im about 95% done with the build then id love to meet up with people to drive cars. In fact il pay someone money to cut post holes for my bodies, because ive destroyed 2 attempting myself.

i have a nitro rc car. i got the ofna z10. havn't played it in like a year. busy with school. i need a new body. i crashed/break the last body. so i'm down if anyone wants to race. the CCSF parking lot is a good place to play rc on the weekend but not on a weekday.

Hey X RAYTED 711, they race ever saturday morrnig and every other thursday nights. Also the track is open for practise every day for a small fee. I also hear there is plans for a 18th scale outdoor off road track in the near future perfect for your mini T. But most guy's that race 18th scale here drive the Duratrax Vendetta.

Ooh I have got several RC cars...I hope they still work, last time I had them out was behind D & J Hobbies in Campbell running my old RC10GT. Whew that was old memory...I'm gunna check into this, it would be A LOT of fun!

anyone from the sf area that wants to race?

x_rayted711

We really need to find a centrally located spot with a BIG parking lot and meet up! This could turn out to be a weekly deal and a LOT of fun!

Let's get our heads together and do something!!!

Can anyone name the local bay area tracks and what type of classes that race there? Im about to get my 2nd set-up, and unlike my 1st, i want it race legal. I was thinking of the RC10GT2 RS kit, or the factory team RC10GT2. Any reccomendations?

x_rayted711

I'll see what I can find out as far as tracks. I don't know about the rules though.

mwuf15

i dont' really care about tracks or rules, i just like to race around a parking lot.
