Default Arizona bashers May 3rd 1/5 scale running

Next weekend May 3rd, we will be taking the 1/5 scale truck and buggy out for some major beatings.

We are going to meet about 10 other large scale bashers in Chanlder AZ at 9am on Saturday. So, if you are local and want to come check it out let me know and I will shoot you the location.

There will be some MCD's, plenty of Bajas and some FG's out there, so it will surely be interesting.

We will take plenty of video showing how the Redcats compare to the major brands, so we should get some good stuff.

Here is the location. It will start at about 9am Saturday. Feel free to bring your nitros if you want to run them.

It is off of Kyrene and Chandle blvd. Sorry dont have an exact address as it is simply a big open area.

See the map for further details.

No worries, we will get some good video.

If I had a dollar for everyone that said they want to test it, I would have a lot of dollars.

From the looks of it there will be about a dozen other 1/5 scales out there and a bunch of guys with Nitros. So if you happen to be in the Phoenix area this saturday, come on by and bring your goods and join the bashing.

i didnt bring my car but it was still sweet, those 1/5 scales are so sick. they run like a champ, i didnt get to see the buggy run but what i saw from the truck its awesome. if i had the money i would so buy one of them. going from my 1/10 to the 1/5 is crazy, they are huge, and they look like they can take a beating.

We had some fun today and got some video as well. Will post a link to it when its uploaded.

Next time we do one of these, you are expected to bring your nitro truck.

Looks like all went well, did you also run the buggy or just the truck?

We ran the buggy for a good 30 seconds. Someone else was on the same frequency and I did not realize it, so the buggy and the curb became very good friends. After the curb, the buggy decided to take the rest of the day off.



I blame myself. I put the buggy down and it moved a little bit, but thought nothing of it, as I was excited to show the buggy off due to an X-can pipe I put on it which makes it run like a bat out of hell.
