Title: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: Russ on April 06, 2011, 09:58:49 AM I thought I would post up some of the stuff I was able to find on the West Coast Challenge. The track was sick looking with a bridge and a 3 wide straight up the middle! :eek:
Check it out :flex: : From FPR: Fast Pace Racing Results at PN/RCP West Coast Challenge | Indoor Mini R/C Racing (http://fastpaceracing.com/content/fast-pace-racing-results-pnrcp-west-coast-challenge) From Grayscale: Greyscale Racing at RCX 2011 (http://www.greyscaleracing.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57:gsr-rcx-2011&catid=8:cars&Itemid=8) Thread from Mini-Z Racer: RCP Tracks West Coast Challenge at RCX 2011, one of the best events just got better. - Mini-ZRacer.com Forums (http://mini-zracer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35540) More as I find it. Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: briankstan on April 06, 2011, 10:43:41 AM the bridge was done by RCP, I wonder if they are going to produce them for sale? I'll have to check on that.
Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: Russ on April 06, 2011, 12:09:24 PM When I first saw it I was thinking, its going to be a jump. But the racing looked awesome over it. Maybe it was just right.
Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: briankstan on April 06, 2011, 12:33:01 PM it looks right for the speed the were going exiting the corner. it it was over a long straight I'm sure it would have been a jump. I think the key was the right placement.
looks pretty cool going over and under it. I wonder how they would have treated a wreck under it :eek: Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: Adams on April 06, 2011, 11:48:52 PM That looks awesome. I wanna go to that
Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: trackstar on April 07, 2011, 09:29:13 AM thats sweet! We should build that bridge. anyone good with wood? lol
Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: briankstan on April 07, 2011, 09:44:17 AM thats sweet! We should build that bridge. anyone good with wood? lol seriously, I work at a wood shop :) Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: trackstar on April 07, 2011, 09:52:42 AM lets do it! lol we'll have to try different angles to get it right but man would that be sweet. we can use it on your driveway
Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: Russ on April 07, 2011, 09:58:32 AM It could actually be alot shorter / smaller and work great. That one is really nice but a nice lightweight on made out of masonite or something would be nice. I let you know my idea tonight.
Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: briankstan on April 07, 2011, 09:59:52 AM I've contacted RCP to see if they are going to be making them, theirs would be foam, so it would be lighter and more manageable than wood. If not I could whip something out pretty easily. We have all kinds of 1/8 to 1/4" material that I could use, cut it out on the CNC rounter with a half lap joining system. wouldn't take much at all really.
Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: trackstar on April 07, 2011, 10:01:44 AM ahh let me know what they say
Title: Re: PN/RCP West Coast Challenge Post by: Adams on April 07, 2011, 10:19:51 AM I have CNC'd foam before, if we could get some nice foam.
Or we could build a mold and fill the mold full of insulation foam(that yellow crap that expands like crazy) Or paper-mâché. I'm not that serious about those ideas ;D |
