ChevyMan1972 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Well, What does everyone think about this? I cant find any local tracks but still looks like fun.... 1/4 scale sprint cars, doing it in the dirt OH YA!!! http://www.luddenhamquarterscalespeedway.com/index.shtml Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 A buddy of mine's dad owns an rc shop in southern ohio and races ones just like that, their fun as hell. He races a 5hp asphalt rc car and some dirt one like those that make something like 10+hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr3GTP Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Sweet! Looks like a blast, and no expensive firesuit or helmet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawnman Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Those thing are not cheap to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr3GTP Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Oh, I'm sure they're not cheap, and the lack of 'seat of the pants' feel makes driving a challenge (I've owned a few RCs, 2 planes and a few cars), but compared to the cost of, say, a 360 Sprint (over 30 grand), they're a bargain. My boss owns 2 sprint cars; a winged & a non-winged, and that is one costly fucking hobby.I believe they're both 410s. Here's a phone pic of the inside of his Featherlite; the winged car in the foreground, the wingless barely visible behind it. Motors are well over $20k each. http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5016/picture032io3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyMan1972 Posted January 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 What is your boss's name? I used to be into that when my dad raced a few years back? Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 They are a lot of fun but cost a lot of $$$$$ to get into..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
