cheech4 -> Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (2/14/2008 7:51:38 PM)

Hey all just wanted to start this thread to see who races and bashes from the queens area.. as you know there are no tracks to race here, so most of us travel outside the borough to the Bronx and some areas in Brooklyn and long island. Here we can talk about anything RC, nitro, electric, touring, trucks and buggies, tips and tricks, show pics.. talk about where in queens you bash in and if theres any capable tracks to race in. lastly share some insight that some of us may not know about queens RC activities.



rcnitrohead -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/1/2008 2:59:59 AM)

Sup, I live in Brooklyn, and my favorite spot is Floyd Bennet Field if you know where that is. I'm 16 and cant drive really, so I can only get around to bashing when my bro can drive me and bring his S-maxx with him. I also own a highly modded T-maxx and one fast HPI Savage[:D] Tom.



cheech4 -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/1/2008 3:06:50 AM)

cool whats up?? i been to floyd a few times when i had a car. [8|] now gonna need a ride to get there.. Im running a losi mF2 with a mamba 6900 motor and 2s lipo.. i also have an Xray T2 with a orion vortex 3.5 with 2s lipo, wanna race, lol.. welcome to the thread.. you know any places besides floyd to bash with other people?



rcnitrohead -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/1/2008 3:31:50 AM)

Not really, thats my main spot. In the summer we had a huge drag race there, check the vid out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=KRtiP7vRK3c It was pretty cool with tons of people, but I had throttle problems during practice so I was out[&o] I usually do either speed runs there (my trucks are setup for street driving now), or I hit the sand dunes and take on some 15-20ft jumps. Right now, all of our vehicles are out of commission[8|][:)] But I will be ordering all the necessary parts the latest next week in order to get my T-maxx and Savage running. Strangely enough, I'm not really familiar with your cars, I'll need to look them up on google[;)] My T-maxx is equipped with a Sirio .18, RDLogics chassis, RPM hardware all around, Traxxas blue tuned pipe, and both trucks are equipped with their own Futaba 3PM FASST 2.4Ghz systems. The Savage is a 25, it has an STS .30 which *may* be able to give your lipp car a run for its money for the first 40mph[;)] I have an LCG chassis, street treads, DD brakes, and tons more on it.. Maybe sometime later we can get a good bash session going somewhere.. I just hope more people in our area find this thread[:D] Tom.



cheech4 -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/1/2008 4:06:00 AM)

the losi Mf2 is a electric stadium truck, the Xray is a electric touring car, as you can tell i am into electrics, brushless electric that is. 40 not bad for a big MT. i have a radar gun but didnt get the chance to gun it with the lipo. so making assumptions my xray should do around 60. my truck around 45-50. I am also running a futaba fasst, love that radio..



zxknight -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/4/2008 7:20:59 AM)

is there a dirt track at Floyd Bennet Field ???



rcnitrohead -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/5/2008 1:51:06 AM)

I wish.. My lhs (Brooklyn Hobbies) was supposed to build one for this season but it never happened.. However, Floyd Bennet Field doesnt have some awesome sand dunes and mulch piles[:D]



zxknight -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/5/2008 4:33:45 AM)

can u run Buggies on those dunes



rcnitrohead -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/5/2008 7:56:20 PM)

Not too sure, my Savage actually had a problem getting stuck once in a while in the sand.. I'd say only if you have paddles..



HimotoRacingUSA -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/9/2008 2:36:25 AM)

Howard Beach here, we go to floyd alot, the track for on road and anywhere for off road, usually a few of us get together, we have a great time, sometimes we run at marine park in brooklyn too. Hamilton beach too we used to run.



rcnitrohead -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/10/2008 3:59:42 AM)

Thats cool, I live not too far away from marine, I've seen a few guys running there this summer (hung out there a lot). If you guys go down to Floyd or Marine, shoot a PM[8D]



HimotoRacingUSA -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/10/2008 4:05:08 AM)

if it was a bunch of guys on the side jumping the pile of dirt at one of the ball fields, that was us, usually a few of us get together. a few guys went to floyd today but i didnt want to go with the cold and wind.



rcnitrohead -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/10/2008 9:06:35 PM)

Cool. My trucks are currently out of commission but I am gathering the rebuild parts as we speak. I should be up and running the latest next weekend..



rcnitrohead -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/16/2008 9:20:01 PM)

Hey ehroof, I was passing through Marine Park on Sat and saw a couple of guys, only 1 buggy was doing straight runs. Too bad I couldnt stop by but was that you guys? Hopefully I'll have my truck fixed soon and drive it[&o]



HimotoRacingUSA -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/16/2008 9:22:08 PM)

nah, rain today so i was home, maybe next weekend will be better.



rcnitrohead -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/16/2008 9:39:36 PM)

Cool, maybe I'll be there if the weather is nice[:D] What kind of cars do you guys run? The only thing I hate about Marine Park is that its so flat, nowhere to jump other than the sand piles, and thos are a bit close to the walkway so people complain[:o]



SIRCC -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (3/30/2008 1:01:22 PM)

Hi guys im from staten island, the only thing we have here is micro all year long, Brownings and Raceway 1/18 scale, i know of a place where we can build a off-road track, only problem is! it has to be done by manual labor,no contruction vehicles. Until then i bash at bay plaza near easy pay
big closed parking lot, no interruptions[image][/image]



chris246810 -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (4/12/2008 3:27:30 AM)

jamaica queens here. whats up ehroof we talked last summer i believe. i like floyd but i am looking for more of a oval track. not used to the mazy track in floyd but its nice.



cheech4 -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (4/12/2008 4:24:21 AM)

i would be interested in a oval track to for my stadium trucks.. if anyone knows of any please share the wealth.



leprophotography -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (4/29/2008 2:08:50 AM)

Sup every1! BTW, you guys know the kissena parks(Flushing, Queens) "bicycle racing track"? That's perfect oval track for fast on road cars + inside the oval track, where you can have fun with those Nitro trucks/buggies. Also, there's a huge parking lot, always EMPTY. Here's the link where you can see the image of the race track...

UPDATE:
More pix of the race track.

rcnitrohead -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (4/29/2008 11:11:58 PM)

That looks like fun for on roads. Even if there was an off road place to run there, I'm sure I'd get robbed before I'd even get there[&:]



leprophotography -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (4/30/2008 12:49:22 AM)

Oh, haha, please don't get robbed by those bicycle dudes who wearing tights.......[:D]


UPDATE:

Hey every1! Show your cars.....
Below, CEN CT-5 with 4.6 big block motor.



rcnitrohead -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (4/30/2008 1:27:38 AM)

lol I have to use public transportation, and I aint exactly comfortable carrying $1000 worth of equipment halfway across town. Thats what I meant..[)]



chris246810 -> RE: Queens NY RC Racing and Bashing Club (5/7/2008 9:01:34 PM)

wow thats crazy. it must be big. any one go there yet to try out there on road cars? i might have to drive down there and take my ct 5 and see how it handles. are there bikers there all the time? i wonder if they would complain about the oil that the cars leave all over the track.
