On a suggestion from Rajat,I started this thread.


Well,I decided to go the track today.My brother was driving,I was the 'navigator' with google maps.Things went well till we reached the outskirts of the city.The roads.OMG!!!  

Well,we went off the path thrice.Scraped the roads a few times.Finally,reached the track. *sigh of relief*.Called Jayanth and guess what,we were in the wrong parking lot. All that effort paid off.The Track at last. *sigh of relief again*


Met Jayanth and a guy called Abhishek.Spoke for a while,ran my slash.Those guys said I should treat it like a car,not a baby. So,drove it on NiMH and it was an exhilarating experience.Jumping,cornering.........had SOOO much fun.Stopped and waited for Shashank and Divyam to arrive.They came separated by a few seconds.Finally met some more guys.So,we started again and practiced and played around.Had fun racing Divyam.Psst,I beat him  

Saw the revos and a pulse running.Nitro sounds good.Played with the guys.Crashed a lot.The slash came out without much damage.

Had lots of problems with my 'navigation' on the way home.My brother is slightly angry now and I'm typing this.But all that trouble was WORTH it.It was a SUPERB day at the track.My thanks to all the guys who were there.Had a BLAST.

Now,its cleaning and (possible) damage assessment on my slash.

Now you guys must be thinking ,"I read through all of this,WHERE ARE THE PICS!!!???" .Well,Divyam and Shashank took some pics.They'll put them up later.

It was the best day EVER!
I crashed my car SO much!

I'll put up the pics soon!

Grrrr, wait for the race!

Finally got my LiPo too, it's SO awesome!

LOL yeah.

Hey nice to hear all this!!! Waiting for pics!

Oh,and Shashank almost crashed into Jayanth on the straight.Man that moment was crazy.

Which vehicles did the racers have today?

Today,we had 2 slash 4x4s(Divyam,me),2 revos(Jayanth,Shashank),one pulse(Abhishek),one TT MT4 G3 and a TT Tomahawk.(Both were Joe's cars).


Joe's MT4G3 was AWESOME!!It didn't handle as well as I expected it to.Even with a center diff,it wheelied.Still,it was one bad@$$ car.

Nice How was the tomahawk??

And how many packs did you run?

Couldn't have asked for a better saturday! Met many RC enthusiasts, had a great time running at the track with some peace of mind   Went to meet Jayanth, Divyam and Gandhar but it was nice to meet Abhishek and Joe too. Lost a lot of time getting to the track and i think those who had already reached lost some time. Sorry to everyone i kept waiting, will make it on-time the next time. Running at the track was awesome fun   lost count of how many tanks i ran today. All in all, had a great time and we should do this more often  

@Gandhar: Even while returning i lost my way !! Got stuck in MAD traffic and reached after 1.5 hours. May be i'll hit the track tomorrow too

PS: Rajath and tassem left to meet. Hope it'll happen soon  

Here are a few pics i clicked and a small video

Haha. Jayanth was on the track and i missed him by a few cm's i guess  :giggle:We badly need a pit and i need to get onto the stand and drive

Rajat,I ran my NiMH down and ran Jayanth's lipo to 7.5V.So,2 packs of awesomeness.But my brother drove more.  Next time

Seem to have something stuck in my drivetrain.Gonna do the tube mod as soon as possible.

I believe a pit area will be made shortly.The stand is awesome.

Exhilirating huh?? Wonder what you'll say after you run it on your lipo's

EDIT: Just saw your post, you actually ran it on Lipo's 

Yup.It was total fun.My brother is getting bossy. No more driving for him

Bossy in the sense ?? I got up on the stand for the last few laps. I think that's when i ran out of fuel too  i want to check my timings when i'm on the stand

Cant wait to hit the track!!!!
Thanks a lot for the videos and pics guys

Gandhar how long did the slash last on 7cell Nimh. 3000mah right?

And how long on lipo?

Bossy in the sense that he is telling me what I should do.I remember you times on the stand were from 27-29 seconds.

The slash did around 15 mins on the 3000 mah 7 cell NiMH.On the lipo,we ran for around 25-30 mins and still had some juice left.

Not bad. I have 2 x 2400 Nimh as of now.

Do they have peak chargers for lipos there? Or one has to carry their own charger?

You have to carry your own charger.I didn't even see a power outlet.

Hmmm.... What was the lipo capacity you used today?

6000 MaH 35c.. 2s LiPo
Anyways, here are the pics!

Divyam, when did you click so many pics weren't you running your slash ? Pics have come out very well  especially the Pulse and your Slash mid-air ! I missed a cameraman 

Yeah I clicked a LOT of pics, while my bro and his friend were driving..
Gave me a chance to take other cars' pics also

BTW, I even convinced him (My bro's friend) to get a car! 6 moths later, he'll also be a car owner!

An electric i'm guessing ?
