off road rc

mannurse

hi , any one out there with large scale- 1/4 or 1/5 scale off roaders? where do you drive them?
i bring my 1/4 scale off roader to the pheonex park or dollymount strand, great places to drive, frightens the hell out of people. would be better to race another off roader tho.

Alfasudcrazy

Any pics - I don't quite know what type of vehicle you are referring to

mannurse

no pics as of yet. it is a large scale off road rc buggy , like the fg marder but about 1 metre long. it has a very powerfull 32 cc two stroke engine. i'm going to put 8 inch jumbo kong wheels on it to make it like the fg monster truck. this thing is great.

revo

ive got a traxxas revo and looking to go out with sumone as it gets boring going up and down

mannurse

if you life on the north side bring it down to dollymount strand on sunday mornings. its a great place to drive off roaders. thats when i usually head down.

Any one around the kilkenny area with a off road rc truck I own a t-maxx and still didn,t break it in yet, i,ll be doing that on saturday hopefully. My freind has a cen st2 and he is having good sport with it. Im just saying that if anyone with an off roader are around kilkenny drop us a line. Might be able to go to the local skatepark and drive it there becouse there are nice vert walls and big quater pipes.

Why should age matter ?
I race touring cars every week with guys as young as 13... :cool:
and you can add on at least 30 years to their age to come near mine..
And I still think it is great fun

Aye, I was flying pattern ships and got my A cert at 13, age doesn't have any bearing on how you can pilot a model. Anyone who wouldn't race you because you're young, should be forgotten about anyway.

g5hn710m4xpdwy

yah i was thinking they mighnt wanna go bashing with me cause i am young but meh

tallus

not at all hahah I'm 40 and getting younger by the year, my neighbours are slagging me all the time because I am alwys out bashng the cars around. Reliving my youth.

Not "reliving your youth" ....RC is "extending your youth"

My thoughts exactly..:D

Well Tallus..
at 40 you can still ad a few to that to equal my age and am enjoying this hobby to the full

Cmar-Ireland

Seems to be a good bit of interest in this thread. So how about we organise a meet somewhere? Looks like there would be a good few up for it!!!

Ok lads, someone has got to put their foot down. Are we gonna have a get together/bashing session? My JATO needs some buddies. I'm on the North side of Dublion so I an access most places. Any one up for it???? Ideas for dates/times and places need to be offered up

I really think we should get a meet organised, you could count me in with my maxx and my friend with his savage... I think the bmx track in marlay park is the best bet, have attached pics of it from when I was out on saturday... Am on the northside aswell, about 5mins from the track in St. Annes..

Feck it, I'd love to meet up but I keep my maxx at home in Cavan

That track looks like it would be deadly for trucks! Was gonna make somethin similar myself at home a few monts ago when we had the lend of a digger, but the stupid digger broke down before I got the chance

Its a bit out of the way for me to be honest

Each way :eek:

I'd deffinately be up for a meet. Only thing is, I play football on a Saturday. it's not as if it's early morning either, kick off at 2 so it's more or less my day gone. I wouldn't mind a Sunday at all. Any one who's interested post available times/days and we'll def organise something. Thanx to B for gettin the Truck rolling per say.

John

gs39t

Wouldnt say i can make it for a couple of weeks, but an early saturday or sunday would suit me.

How busy does it be up there anyway? And if the bmx track is in use is there anywhere else in the area we can use?

Gary

.B.R.

Well an early sunday would suit aswell.. The track isn't used for bmx or anything so its always free except for a couple of kids going up and down on there bikes but they always stop and watch the trucks and ask lots of questions like "how fast is does it go" ... Well John if your free this weekend or next we'll organise something.. Do you know how to get there?

Brian

gs39t

Courtesy of google earth. Looks good! Car park right there too

tallus

sweet :-) that place looks cool

.B.R.

Yep, thats exactly it was going to post that picture aswell.! That google earth is great...

Cmar-Ireland

Anyone up for a meet in the Curragh? There is hundreds of acres of space to play in, including an old army offroad training area. Loads of hills and jumps there etc. Definately worth checking out!!!

.B.R.

Thinking bout heading up to parnell aswell myself.. Who do ya play ball for? Well sunday week would suit aswell say around 11 in the morning?
Brian
