1/18 off road bash day

[BALISTC]

I've noticed this forum leans towards a certain type of RC, and then it changes very quick...first it was 1/18 off road, then it went to 1/8 monster trucks, 1/10 buggies, and now everyone seems to be getting into drifting ;)

I want to rekindle the interest in 1/18 scale off roaders. I'm talking Mini-Ts, RC18Ts, TLT-1s, etc etc..

Lets have a bash day!!

Any ideas for when and where we can do this????

[James]

hell yeh.

How about at RYPER HOBBIES, on a sunday morning? :)

Although, for TLT owners, rock crawling would be in order, so need somewhere with something to climb up/fall off, etc. haha

hrmmm. definately keen, will bring my 'T' and crawler.. :)

[Matt]

organise it, sort a date and location, and we can make it a news post on the front page of this site and do a bit of promo work for it.

matto.

[BALISTC]

Need some suggestions of location first ;)

Any ideas??

I have a big plot of land behind my place but its not that great, will probably need digging and some hard back breaking labour to get it right...I know Mik068 bashes with a few of his mates often, gotta find out where they do it..

[Jai]

can we wait 2 weeks for my mods to arrive?
how about next door to where i live... 700sq block
with rocks and all sorts. also on the other side is a building site....
doesnt really cater for the mini-t's tho...
although the neighbourhood kids have built a wicked jump with a dirt track
the mini-t's could hack around on that

[BALISTC]

We still down for this? I noticed that a lot of 1/18 owners are offloading their gear...

[remotebandit]

wot about in Melbourne :(

kills me that your all in Perth , im missing out x)

[BAGES]

1/18's are dead and gone - too small and too much of a novelty especially when compared to larger scales....as tempted as I have been to buy one - I would never go below a 1/10 - IMO 1/10 will always be the standard - largr scales will increase in popularity and stick around rather than the 1/18's....

[James]

I'm still in. decided not to sell! ha HAAAA. you'll see it on the track, at race days :)

[BALISTC]

WOOT!

Good boy....keep it, **** we'll MAKE the effort to bash and race the 1/18s. I might even start racing mine when I get some time :(

[James]

sunday morning, ryper! :) make time! haha

im looking forward to trying out the taper/rib GPM fronts i have coming :)

[BALISTC]

You still not racing it Sunday James?

Honestly, if you wanna borrow mine to get yours up and running, mine is sitting there collecting dust (I havent had time to use it at all!)

[James]

my parts wont arrive till next week, so wont be racing it this w'end, unless I can MAKE my own chassis bracket.

to be honest I dont know if there will be 1/18th racing. I'll email an organiser, see how many entrants there are for 1/18th so far :)

[Jai]

so are we going to have this bash day?
im keen to set up a full on track.... and thrash around
all day long

[Matt]

im keen too. that block next to you that you wrote about is real close to me. bring on northern suburbs hack day!

[Jai]

i rekon.... us northies should have someting more up here!! and the block is huge plus the tracks across the road with the massive jump the kids have built would be awesome....

[Alex]

Ok, instead of starting a new thread on the topic of 1/18 bashing / racing.. i thought i might revive this one if tis cool with all..

I got my T ready for some action this summer, now who wants to play?

[BALISTC]

Yep mine is ready to play also!

[Alex]

yay! its working! hehe...

now just a question of where.....as no more 1/18 action at Rypers..

[Jai]

so seriously.... when are we going to have this soooo called bash day

i have plenty of left over bricks since finishing my house... we could set a track or mountain of DEATH up very easily over the road on the vacant blocks...

[Mazimbwe]

I would be keen to come along, have a meet & greet with y'all and introduce my 1/18th's to some dirt.

[stone]

chit yeh, I need an excuse too dust them off.

[BALISTC]

Well I wont be there, I aint got no 1/18 anymore :D

[Alex]

if there are enought 1/18 owners to race, put up a show of hands and lets organise a race meet.

time, race track (westcoast or rypers), date. done

Not sure bout bashing with a mini-t.. it will just fall break and fall apart. a TLT, well thats a diff story ;)

[Sempati]

after the 7th I'm in ... thats if my batteries arent dead :-(

[Alex]

ahh Sempati, i think u have a MLST rival in the midst hehehe. Someone at WC got one BLINGED MLST!!! *shhhhhhh, and No. its not me*

[Jai]

i cant race my 1/18th... its a TLT!! hahah....
although i could drop the chassis height and put the 15 double back in it... mmmmmm maybe... ahahhaah

Joe.... what happened? where's ur crawler? sold?

[Maxd out]

Ahhhh the LST is looking even better this week shadow,I only have a couple of parts on her that are original now,still waiting on my center MIP'S & Lunsford pins to finish her off.

[BALISTC]

Joe.... what happened? where's ur crawler? sold?



HELL NO!!!

I still gots the TLT!! Its just not 1/18 anymore, its more 1/10 scale ;)

I reckon u could turn a TLT into a WICKED race truck!! Hmm now thats got my mind tickin over ;)

[Alex]

DO IT! AND BRING IT ON! arrrrghhhh harrrgh

[Jai]

i might have to look at that option... hahaha... i was looking at the tracer 1/10th conv kit... hrmmm.... 99 US plus, plus, plus......

[stone]

Hey fellas,BUMP!!!
WE STILL GUNNA DO THIS ?
Satday arvos and sundays are my free days,
but I'd even be keen for a bash after work hours.
And i couldnt give a toss where.....When is all
that matter's?
Did have a great bash spot,but the local council
decided that it's much better too have ya kids
smash their heads in on concreet than the dirt BMX track,so they flattened it....BARSTARDS
