Hi guys this is james.

are you guys coming to big chill?
actually i am trying to make a 19T rubber class for this race. as you can see from the post. it's open. but foam is faster then rubber and it's not fair for rubber guys.

I know you guys run mostly stock but i see a lot of guys are moving up to 19T. I like rubber personally and hoping to make a class to run.

I have been running foam for 19T and mod last year. it runs great i have no problem with running foam but the reason i am trying to run rubber is that when i have came outdoor from indoor i had to run rubber tire and the setup was totally diffrent. i been trying to learn rubber tire for first half of outdoor season. after i been using rubber tire for outdoor. i fell in love with rubber. also i have been convinced that those european drivers who run rubber all the time comes to big foam race such as snow bird and beat americans in their own game.

anyways please let overgears guys know if you guys are interested in running rubber in 19T

thanks

Most of the club runs either TC3/4 or X-Ray.  This sounds like exclusively Tamiya - is that right?

cut 50% of the classes and I will come. separate foam and rubber classes for the same chassis and the same motor is crazy IMHO, just when you thought it couldnt get DILUTED any further.

sorry but the mega class thing is a large bone of contention with me and RC, nothing personal.
