R/C racing

[Roger Ronas]

Back in the 80's-90's ran 1/8 scale nitro onroad cars. Full on race cars considered to be the formula one of RC racing. Ran a 4wd Picco Integra with 3.5cc enging that produced about 2.5hp. 50% nitro. 2 and sometimes 3 speed transmissions. Fully adjustable suspension. Would go about 50 real MPH. My brother and some friensds and I entered a 24 hour enduro down in Albuquerque and took first place. We had more than double the laps of 2nd place.
Tires would last about 20 minutes, quick change axles, fast fill fuel guns. It was as real as ful scale racing but without the danger of driver getting hurt ( most times) that is a different story though
