i went to cutting-edge yesterday to check it out. it is huge. so incredibly nice. i have been to tons of tracks, this is by far one of the best tracks in the country. the track is shooting for an opening on march 1. they will also hopefully be the host of the worlds, along with other big national events.

Firefreak373

did they let you inside?

OrangeSword

Just curious, why no monster trucks?

orangesword: i'm going to guess that with the other 3 tracks around town that there would be to many for the turn outs. plus it's an indoor track and nitro fumes would have to be evacuated some how, and that can get costly. but thats just my thought so i maybe way off..

Firefreak373

well nitro is not alowed but like e-maxxs arnt allowed cause from what i under stand is the the track is kinda soft and the owner dosent want it to get torn up.

I just received an email from Mary Wolfe at the County Parks and Rec’s, hopefully some people who are off-road supporters will show up and defend the Silver Bowl track or and least have some say in getting them to water it. I am going to see if I can get the evening off to head down there. I hope some people will show up.


We will be holding a public meeting for all interested Remote Control Car Track enthusiasts on
Wednesday, February 16th from 6:00 - 8:00 pm in the Sunset Park Administration building conference
room.

Spread the word

Good luck with the meeting. On Sunday (tomorrow), I plan to be a Finishline around 10-10:30am with a few other locals if anyone wants to drop by. I'll be running my Kyosho 777 and Mugen mbX5. I don't plan to take any minis.

A couple of photos from today--Grindinghalt's Revo. It was nice meeting you today also. Racing next Saturday at Finishline.

Grindinghalt

Cool man! I've never been published before!!

I enjoyed meeting you today as well, and I look forward to Saturday. I probably wont race, but I'll be there anyways. Man, I may have to get a buggy....so much faster than my Revo!!

Thanks,

Tod

man every time i go to hobbytown.......never have any of the parts i need. yesterday me and two friends went in looking for some stuff. They had THREE people on one car. how many epople does it take to check an esc to see if it works? i waited like 10-20 minutes for someone to help me and the once they did bam didnt have the parts i needed. Go over to hobby people.BIG difference two people working on one car. i walk in instantly.. you need something? uhh yes some 35 weight shock oil and some tire glue and wth gimme one of those batteries for my rc18t. hands it to me you check out there. then he aks my other friends . THEN goes back to helping the other guy with his car. then we cruise the rest of the store for other little things they have. we walk outside and there he is driving his nitro ask him questions he gladly answers them much better at hobby people than hobby town usa. ive also had a really good experience with danseys.

Firefreak373

hey man i remember you, i was the one working on the car because im the only one who knows how, the other guys do hover around anytime thers a car here. they have to ask my almost everything. im sorry about that. and for parts my manager only cares about helis. so i have to do the best i can on filling out special order forms for ever single part thats needed in the store. for every car. then its a matter of time until they actuly get orderd, then however long it takes to get here.

mxrider99, which hobbytown do you go to? on the west side i've found the guys at H.T. more helpful then at H.P. .. yes the guys at dansey are good too..this is just my experiences i've been to all 6 hobby shops in town..
if your looking for help on the flying side nice twice is a good place too..

ps i dont mean to make anybody upset.. you get help at all shops it's just the presonal feel they put out...

mxrider99

yeah u were they guy working on the car and the other two where hovering aorund u i had to ask to get help (not a problem) but felt uncomfortable as i though they were helping. yeah and the one guy was on the heli (maybe the manager?) and finally someone helped and you didnt have what i needed. i shoulda got shock oil there but whatever . what days do you work? ill come in sometime when you work to get stuff. no i dont want discounts just to meet new people who drive. man i cant wait for the track by me to open

OrangeSword

If your talking about the two hobby stores on Sahara and Decatur, they are both good stores. Everyone is always helpful at both places. My buddies and I work right down the road and are usually in there at lunch time alot these days. Only one of us ever needs anything but it takes all three of us to drive down there.

i work m 12-5 tu 5-8 w off th off f 5-8 sat & sun all day

I basically have the opinion that certain people know certain RCs better than others and I tend to follow those people to where they work. I also go to HTU-Sahara for the Cherry Coke and to give Nitro Power a bad time. Other than that I go to HTU-Sahara to give the other employees a bad time and since some of those same employees ran off to HP-Decatur, I have to give them a bad time and use their restroom since HTU-Sahara doesn't have a public restroom. I also end up a Danseys since it is across the street from Finishline and since they basically are the only LHS in town that carries Mugen and Kyosho parts. Of course, I go to HP-Boulder since the guy I usually pit with works there and since I can BS with a few of the others that I know who refuse to go to Danseys. Sometimes, I'll even purchase a pizza and take it into HP-Boulder since there is a pizza place in the same plaza. And the last time I was at Nice Twice, they didn't have the fuel I wanted and apparently failed to order it even after someone else had called and asked about it prior to my visit--Danseys didn't have it either. Of course, if I ever feel like purchasing a flying witch, I'll probably get it at Nice Twice. However, if it is a T-Rex, then one of the top pilots in the world works at HP-Boulder. As an alternative, it is either Chuck at HTU-Sahara (or Dusty at HP-Decatur), but I'll pass on Nice Twice for a T-Rex.

HAHA, i just picked up a novak GTB from HT-sahara today. It was what i was looking for, and since its a 30 minute drive to danseys, and HP-sahara didnt have one yesterday, i bought it today. now to get a receiver for my new xxx-bk2 and ill be able to drive it. all in prep for the new track to open. Electrics has changed so much in the last 5 years.

mxrider99

wheres this other hobbytown at? i new there was two. isnt the other one supposedly the biggest ht in the usa?

spooner

hey TNB don't do that again...i almost passed out..there was not (,)'s or (.)'s...i almost ran out of air reading it...

MX.. one is on sahara and the other one is at Greenvalley pkwy and sunset..this one is smaller than the one at sahara i think..has more air stuff and not much car stuff.

[:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(]

Bigedmond

you know. it almost seems that las vegas needs its only forum for RC. and none of the local tracks have one. If you guys want, i can set one up on my website since im in the middle of rebuilding it.

Firefreak373

hell ya need a moderator

Bigedmond

Well if more people want one, i will put it together with the generic template and get it up and running. But i want to make sure that people will use it.
