I am happy about my return!

[Baxter Walton]

You know each hobby takes a certain type of person. Boating has the best ppl in it by far! I was into the slotcars, many have no idea about them , but they are more costly and very competitive also. As a indoor sport, I miss being out by the water. Seems to add life to the hobby. A cool calm morning water just right, and just a touch of wind, perfect for testing or racing. Thats what I missed! here are some pics of the slots that I am leaving behind, Nice ppl also, dont get me wrong, but boaters rule

Nothing better than Nitro in the Air on Race Morning..welcome back!!!!!

 

[Baxter Walton]

LOL I agree

 

[Ron Olson]

I got side-tracked as usual last night and ran across this while viewing another video:


Nitro and slot cars combined! I didn't know there was such an animal! It's just not RC boats though.....

 

[Baxter Walton]

lol yeah I saw that, i was working on brushless slot cars, with rc controllers. But loss interest.

 

[Rigged]

slot cars can definetely break ya. I was into the slot car drag racing for a little while... burn up a $40 motor every couple passes.. get expensive quick.

 

[Baxter Walton]

lol Yeap a gp7 wing car cost $500, you replace the motor every heat, each motor cost $300-$400 at 8 heats a race thats $1200 worth of motors to be competitive. not counting the money it takes to re-build each motor after every race lol

 

[ww29]

i miss racing them. the local track here closed down.

Thats friggin nuts. I could never see spending the money on the 'bigdawg' Koford stuff since we were just racing for fun, not grudge racing for money. Usually had around $200-225 total in the cars. Difalco controller i used was more then the cars alone :lol:

 

[Chris Wood]

i remember running intl 15 and box stock yrs ago.. yep motors every heat. chassis of the week trying to keep up with the pros on KINGS and HILLCLIMBS was a tall task. i held my own but TEAM KOFORD was to hard to hold off alot of the times.

slots was alot of fun and work. i remeber those days lol.

Good pics
