4x4 short course trucks are meant more for 1/8 size tracks, with 100'+ straits, bigger jumps and such... We've watched several people try and control there 4x4 sc on jakes track, but the simple fact is jakes is just too small for those vehicles.
Im not trying to detour you from jakes just more of a heads up, from what we've seen in the past your trucks might be a bit much for the tighter turns and such

Will you guys ever put a stop to 4x4 on a permenent bases?

There is a thread on the Electric Offroad forum that converts that hyper 4x4 into a 4wd buggy.. Might need to check it out

no they would not put a stop to 4x4 SC. We encourage all types of racing. As Alex and Dustin statyed just will need to turn the power down for the size of the track.

Oh, no, no, no! You will never be turned away because of the type of truck/car you bring in... Like I said, I was just giving a heads up that from what we've seen, the 4x4sc seems to be a bit of a handful at jakes

Can you rent/borrow the transponders from jakes? Can you run without one or is it a must have?
09-04-2013, 08:30 AM
I got extras if you'd like to borrow one. Having a transponder in your car makes it much easier on tne race director, so he doesnt have to hand count and possibly miss a lap or hit the key a little late.
Its not required, but nice to have

Throwing this out here to see if there is any interest?
Wanting to go back a few years and start a stock slash class, stock meaning only thing you can change is the rx so you can run normal radio used for other classes.
2 cell Lipo or 7 cell that comes with slash will be allowed. All other components, esc, brushed motor, servo, chassis, tires, any other things that are able to be hopped up such as transmission, shocks, etc. can not be changed.. I think these 3 are the only currently available models:

I like that Dakar Edition the best. I think this would be a fun cheap class, and I know there are a few new racers coming this year that just got slash's.

Do the new MRT transponders work there? ran into a problem at the plex with the old mrt, it counts like 5 laps and does count for 2.

The new MRT's should work anywhere
