ZNO-RC is Putting On Another COMP!
With the help of Cory, Chad and a few dedicated others, the ZNO-RC crew is going to dust off the gates, pull out the score cards and put on a real competition.
What: 1/10th Scale, RC Scaler Competition
When: Sunday, March 29th
Time: First comp starts at 11:00 am
Where: Swan Falls (43.264511, -116.400016)
Details:
There will be 3 events all held on the same day. Each event will have between 100-350 gates which can span quite a distance over rough terrain. We recommend bringing at least 6000 mah worth of batteries, some spare parts and a good variety of tools.
Lunch will be up to you. We will only keep the courses open for a few hours each so please don't show up late and expect to run them all. We run by a unique set of rules, which if you would be interested in seeing, can be sent via email. Below are the key rules to follow.
- The vehicle must be 1/10th scale (or it won't fit through the gates)
- The vehicle must be drive shaft driven (no MOA's)
- The vehicle should look realistic (We count scale points. They are not necessary but they do work to improve your overall drive time.)
- The vehicle must be controlled by a radio.... I suppose that's a given.
- It doesn't matter what you bring, run it! Yes the rules are important, they make it more fun but at the end of the day it's pretty much run what you brung.
- Please follow the driver rules as closely as possible. We're out here to create a realistic, quick paced event. It stops being fun for everyone when someone takes it too seriously or not serious enough. Here's the right amount of serious: Drive it as realistically as possible while still having fun, not holding people up, not passing aggressively, not touching your car (no miracle helicopter lifts), keeping track of your own gates, penalties and time (not letting your pal do it by memory), and driving with a great attitude (out to help your fellow RC enthusiast get to the finish line)!
Directions:
Go to Kuna, ID and head straight South till you get to Swan Falls. After driving down the cliff, at the bottom of the hill is a dirt road to the right. The signs should indicate camping spots in that direction. Drive down that road for a mile or so until you come to a parking/camping spot where there is a bathroom. That is where we will be starting the comp. You will also see a ZNO-RC banner at that location.
Also if the weather permits, a few of us may be camping over from Saturday. If you interested in joining in, just reply.
I'll post photos up tomorrow. See you there!
