eastern USA modders section
 

What's up everyone. what i'v seen most of the modders are from canada and cali. But there are a lot of electronic freaks over her 2, well exept north carolina and myrtle beach. The chances r that i'm the only on in myrtle beach that can take aflashlight apart without breaking it. It's like the friggen prehistoric here. Darn cavemen. (I just moved here)

Im in eastern Tennessee(no redneck jokes please:p ). Not much here:( but the people are nice:) .

i'm in NJ. no yankee jokes please. lots to do here and the people are all grouchy.

I know what u mean. I lived in west virgina before here, nobody realy was a redneck except 4 this hick from ohio

i like in Kentucky....not as many rednecks here:D

I live in northern SC, and we have a pleasant blend of rednecks, and stuck up rich people.

I'm in NJ too... theres nothing to do here

Central Connecticut for me

I live in Powder Springs, Georgia.

Me Live in NC, near raleigh

Born and Raised in Philadelphia, PA.

Can't seem to find anyone by me that will do anything to their cars.

I have a friend moving there.
Tell me if you meet him.
it'll be 1 month

Orlando, Flordia plenty of rich people here.

Suburbs of Philly! an hour away due to rich snob traffic at King of Prussia mall! not much to do! Except play with mini r/c cars! :)

I was at KOP this weekend.
Traffic very was bad, mainly due to roadwork.

Maybe we should start up an online club.

The ECMA :rolleyes:

good idea

I could build a site if u want

Born and raised in the Frankford section of the "Cradle of Liberty" otherwise known as Philadelphia.

Now residing in the far, and much cleaner, Far NE of Philly about 10 minutes from Franklin Mills Mall.

I don't really mod the cars, but I can make a helluva track to test them on!

How'd I miss this?

Born in Walson Hospital Fort Dix NJ

Currently living in Atco, NJ.

About the same time to the Mills for me.
But I usually stay away from there because of the tourists.

Yeah but sometimes you can get some great deals in the "Mills" on clones. Only place I could find my Panthers.

heh cool, you guys got some mad knowledge base here... =P

pwalk, i was thinkin about makin a track.. and after lookin @ urs, (the dirt one) i wanted to make something like rally track.. any quick suggestions on the kinda stuff that can/should be used?

I saw some Precious Clones at KOP Court Under 5 store.

Absolutely Pie,

First I used foam insulation for most of the track. It's easy to work with, cuts real well to just about any shape you want and at only about 1 inch thick you can adjust the grade of hills very easily therefore making it easier for a Bit to get up.

For making "rocks" and "cliffs" I used to Crayola's Model Magic (cheap plug!!) It's easy to mold, sets up quickly, and best of all it doesn't crack when it dries. Also it's lightweight which is great for when your carting your course around like I have.
DO NOT USE PLAY DOH! It may be cheap but it cracks and breaks all the time.

For decorations you can use a variety of things depending on the setting you want the course to be set in. I use a variety of stuff from sand paper on the hills(great for traction where you need it)
Deer Moss for trees and shrubs, and cinnamon for dirt (best tasting dirt I've ever tried).

I can go on and on so I'll post the rest in the track section.

PWalk

i'm only 20 mins from Phili. we should really start a club.

ahhhh gotcha... i was thinkin about the rally setting, while actually using roads and stuff. foam insulation.. sounds good to me! :)

thx for the info dude, and i'll go check out whatever i need in the tracks area!

No problem Pie,

For the roads I would suggest the sand paper. It's got a good look to it, provides ample traction and it takes paint really well to.


Philadelphia area people...
If you guys want to get something started here in the Philly area just let me know. I'm interested and starting to get tired of running my cars against just my brothers. We could do a barbeque or something and race the bits all day on a picnic table.
Any thoughts??

Where would this meet, greet and race take place?
Pennypack Park?

Pennypack park would be ideal for anyone in the general area, but if ya ask anyone from outside Philly and they'll have no clue.

I could see a state park in the area, Neshaminy, Ridley Creek, hell we could all meet down at the liberty bell or Independence Hall.

I'm open to ideas...

This sounds like a good excuse to make it "big" and invite some dealers in Tiny RCs.
How cool would that be? Dealers, some table space for field-modders and the like, as well as a place to race and show off our hardware.

Sounds good to me! :D

Independence Hall. Oh wait they are opening the new constitution center there this week.
Rittenhouse Square.
Love Park, Also called JFK Plaza.
Dilworth Plaza (15th street side of City Hall).

I work in Center City Philly.

If I didn't live in a rowhome I would invite people over.

If you're talking dealers and demos you may have to get clearance from City Hall to meet at most of the locations listed.

Now that I think about it downtown would suck as we couldn't get a grill going or park anywhere for free.

State parks sound like the way to go here. Big, open spaces plenty of parking, no permit needed, plenty of tables already there to set tracks up on etc...

I really don't have any cars because i lost the steering spring to my Bit!:(

Valley Forge park would be good! :)

Ive posted this in the events section, but does anyone know any place in NC that I can race RC cars? It gets kinda boring drivin by yourself.

Exerpt from Shrek-sung by donkey:

"I'm all alone!-theres no one here beside me!......."

Okay I'll stop:D

I haven't a clue where to go in NC Micro, best of luck.

Philly area members...

I have no problem getting to any of the state parks in the area. We should try and keep it in the center of where everyone is located.

Lets set this up!

Re: eastern USA modders section
 

yeah, I thought so- like Char-G Ace said:

I guess I''ll have to start my own track
To the drawing board

-David

hey I used to live in Chicago ( not really that far east if you think about it, but it is compared to where I live now I live in Kingman Az wow you guys talk about no redneck jokes out here pretty much you better not tell any or youll end up "black listed" by the local companies.No one will work for u etc.. sucks that things are that way though cause tha weather is sooo nice and cause im one of the only non white kids around.Yea but there is absolutely nothing to do here but rc and Hot rod

I got a new MS PRO yesterday, so I'm going to use my old one as a labratory mouse for future projects. I also got (finally) an R34 body, and I'm gonna paint the clear body like a touring car. could
anyone suggest and first time mods (dual cell, MOSFETS, etc.) the only mod Ive done is to use KIT/BIT racer bg343 gears.
Thanks

-David
