Dear RC Performance staff,

Here are the pictures we took at the track during our Nationwide/Allied corporate team building event.

Everyone had an absolute blast. Having the timing loop set up, with lap times being announced, was a huge bonus I was not expecting.

The track announcer did a great job directing the practice laps as well as the "mini-heats" that we ran.

I am already being asked when we will have the opportunity to do this again. In fact, Leslie, (one of our female reps) called today and expressed that she thought the event was a great idea, she had an excellent time, and is even considering having her own birthday gathering there (!). She was impressed with how fun RC driving is with your steering wheel set-up.

The event was a great way to get our Loss Control team together, have some fun, and boost teamwork and confidence. This activity will be talked about for some time. RC racing is something that many of us had not done before. Being able to drive hobby quality vehicles, on the indoor track, with the steering wheel set up, proved to make everyone comfortable and confident at driving in no time.

I would like to thank you again for the opportunity. We had a blast!

Store Move We are pleased to let you know that we have found a new building site for RC Performance and Hobbies. The slowdown of the economy has forced us to face reality that a move to a smaller building is in order. However, we are *very* excited about this new location. We are joining the good folks on Monona Drive with a planned move in early Spring. Lots of work needs to be done at our new site before the move, but we are confident you will enjoy your shopping experience at our new store! The races, rentals and other track activity will continue at our current location until our move. We appreciate your patience and continued business and will post our progress on this website to keep you informed of any changes as they occur.

13.5 Sedan is the "big boy" class. It is also one of the most popular. You will find all the top dogs running this class. We allow any 13.5 motor and any brushless ESC. We also allow a variety of rubber tires to be run.

Winter 2009/2010 Racing

Fall is here and it's time for some indoor racing again! The start date for indoor onroad is October 11, 2009. We will be running many of the same classes we've run before like 13.5 sedan, Vintage TA, Mini coopers and F1. There are some new classes this year to that we would like to support. 17.5 sedan will be a nice stepping stone for those wanting some sedan action but are not ready for the faster 13.5 class. This should be a popular class and some of the big dogs from 13.5 may run it also since Milwaukee also run this class. WGT (World GT) should be one of the fastest classes. It is basically a 1/10 scale pan car chassis running a 13.5 brushless motor with a 1S Lipo. Simpler than sedans the pan car is carpet bred. Huge tires, light weight and sports car bodies will make this a very fun class! 1/12 scale will be revamped this year. Like WGT 1/12 scale is a pan car chassis. This year we are specing a 10.5 brushless motor and a 1S (1 cell) Lipo battery. WGT may also use a similar spec. Offroad racing will continue as usual on Wednesdays. The start date for indoor offroad racing is October 14, 2009. The most popular class is 1/10 stadium truck. This is any 1/10 scale stadium truck with any motor. We suggest a 6.5 to 10.5 brushless motor and any 4000+ 2S Lipo battery. We may have two Corr classes. One for beginners (stock) and one for the experts (modified). Since there are many modification to the Slash and other Corr trucks we would like to separate them from the "box stock" class. "Box Stock" will be 17.5 BL, 27T Brushed or the 12T Titan Traxxas motor. All on 2S Lipo or 6 cell Nihm. "Mod" will consist of anything more powerfull than the above. The Traxxas mini 1/16 BL Revo is a super cool truck and performs very well on our track. This may be a hit and miss class, but is should be a riot when we get a full heat of them.

SCT

The SCT (Short Course Truck) class has really taken off. We run this truck class on Wednesday nights, with the race starting at 6:30 p.m. These trucks have a very scale look to them. Lots of body roll and minimal traction make this an especially fun racing class.

1/12 Scale

Written by john

1/12 scale is an intense class. It required lightning quick reflexes, concentration and some strategy too. All that for 8 minutes! Thats right, unlike most classes that are 5 minutes long, 1/12 scale is a long 8 minutes. By popular demand, for the 2009 fall/winter series, we will be running the new 1S LiPo and 10.5 brushless motors. This has been proven to be very cost effective, fun, light and fast! The general specs can be found at: http://www.rctech.net/forum/5734711-post1754.html
