I'll start.

I race onroad 1/10 electric and nitro touring cars.

They run like this:

They look like:

off topic.

not sure if this is sport
sport entertainment
or fitness?

I am currently painting my Ford Raptor body for my Stampede. :D.

Did anyone try clocking how fast their RC cars GO?

Used to have a t-maxx that I built for racing at the Queensborough track before it got torn down:

After that, picked up an MBX5T Prospec and barely had a chance to race that, just ran it around parks close by to my house. Got out of the hobby for a few years, and just picked up a revo 3.3 that should be at Point Roberts today. Just bought it to bash around with a friend who has an old savage and hyper7. Pretty excited to get back into it, still need to buy new tools and relearn everything again.

Shitty ebay pic of the revo

Just picked up my revo today. Body is pretty beat, truck looks pretty well used but nothing a good tear down and rebuild won't fix. Haven't had a chance to run it yet, final on Monday. Anybody know of any good bash spots around Van/Richmond?

anyone wire lights to their RC cars yet?

i have a 900Lumen flashlight that i mount on it when i go night RCing.
I want something more clean, any ideas? Maybe a Cree LED wired to an external battery?
I also thought about a light bar, bit i don't like the look of it.

I dont usually run my cars in the dark, usually only at the track.

we should be running this Sunday at BCIT richmond YVR if you guys want to come watch or run your onroad cars.

I've got full led set on my drifter toy, but the rest, too much weight for racing.

is there regular events still this time around? locally?

absolutely.
