We have started running GT12 at my local rc club. It's definitely a steep learning curve (especially when you're running on a painted tennis court), but it's very rewarding when it's running right on the track.
Thank you. At that time I was learning and X-ray manuals give you so much info on what certain changes do to the car. If I bought a car now it would be the metrics though. They have a great UA-cam. Channel with lots of quick build tips and how to set it up for the new rubber gravity tires
I've been racing since the early 80's pretty much every scale out there on and off road and I've seen many clubs and tracks come and go. Im amazed there's a club out there and enough interest to keep it going and an hour and a half east of me here in Findlay, out my way we have a club in Bowling Green OH that's been around a few years but i don't know how its doing lately. I know that rent or leasing a building is way overpriced anymore the way commercial properties are going is insane, i don't know how small businesses make it anymore for very long and the economy is so f'ed up it pisses me off to now end but i work hard and keep buying everything RC just because i love it so much. Its fun to watch you progress from one thing to the next like i have in the past 50 years.
Thank you for the kind words. We have some folks that come down from that way to race with us. We got ran out of our last location due to real estate people buying up old property and then raising the rent and then eventually take the loss as a tax write off. Sad state of our business culture. But we were lucky enough to get this building rented by the church next door who purchased it only for the parking space for their church. So we are blessed in many ways you could say :) come on down some time :)
@@Dorkyand40 that did work out for the better, blessed for all the rite reasons. If it weren't so far away I would check it out. Back in 2010 and Hobby Town was close to my old home town in Holland I got hooked on Kyosho Dnano's and bought one, raced it with other guys and that was really fun and in a small space, years later that faded away like all the hobby stores in the area and I got into other RC's, then the pandemic hit and I got into collecting Dnano's and everything related even 3 complete home circuits with timing that's almost 120 feet of track with 4 cars with radios , so I have my own club just no drivers LoL 1/43 is really challenging to drive fast but the gyro's do help a lot.

Wow. So you all running on a hard surface. Wow. That would be hard. Foam tires I hope!! Have fun.
Great videos...I enjoy your channel. Why did you choose xray? Looking at the X12 or the new Metricks.
