    Default 5 hour endurance race. Any racers up to the challenge?

    http://www.rcfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24846

    I will be supplying the car, motor, back up parts ect. It will be up to the team on either running a buggy or truggy. What I need is steady drivers that may not be the fastest but more importantly dont wreck much. I will leave from Joplin at 7 am aug 6th and we will back Sun Aug 8th. PM me your number if your intersted. Feel free to make your own teams and join in the caravan. Its about 9 hours from Joplin to give you an idea on distance.

    I'm Game, Jason..

    I'm willing to run with either truggy or buggy.. Are you gonna run Nitro or Electric? 5 hours with either is gonna be difficult..

    If we do Nitro, I can supply the fuel.. I've got 5+ gallons of Torco 30%

    I'm sure we can make this happen. I think I may have a few others racers that can go. Right now it looks like nitro is the way to go. I have an e-buggy that can go 30 mins on a battery but even then it takes too long to switch packs and the track is fairly large so the e-buggy would be down on top end unless I switch motors but then run time will suffer. With nitro I can run a large tank and go 15 mins for fuel easy. So it would be smart to do fuel stops the same time we switch drivers. I have a few ideas to make the receiver pack last the entire race as well.

    I agree Jason. Thanks for calling me earlier.. Anyone else interested really should contact Jason, as he is very serious about this, and I think it will be an awesome fun weekend of racing.. With what Jason and I talked about and all the parts he has any problems would be easily fixed on the spot..
