I’m happy to see they are still supporting 1:28 scale / mini-z after the PN nats! Wish they would at least paint the walls in the secret back room though lol! I’d be there all the time if I was even remotely close!
redcat has a PINK ascent 1/18 crawler they just announced. would be cool to see a video of it crawling on your channel, since i know how much you like pink.
dude just the idea of having my shit in a place that hundreds, if not thousands, of people walk past each hour even while im there seems sketchy as fuck. you think im gonna rent out a pit space and leave like $5k dollars worth of shit there while im not even there???
Yea they are lucky as hell. there is only one small outdoor oval track near me and I don't like just going around in a circle unless I'm DRIFTING which isn't allowed on a dirt oval track.
@@V8chumpNot so much for 1/8 scale, maybe like 2/3 public tracks. Alot of them close down or become lime private and the you gotta know someone who knows someone to get in.
Risk of tearing up the carpet based on how they are designed, not to mention that Traxxas was unwilling to sell directly to a small local race track, they want hobbyshop's to make large buy-in's to become a reseller, and you have to carry a high percentage of their products, where as the race track would only be interested in a few models.
So here my thing those poles are an RCS enemy padding should be put at the bottom of each one or you might as well be outside hitting concrete curbs,..,now make a track for the big boys with 1/5 th scale beast
Not sure if you’ve ever seen the movie “The room” but ever since my girl made me watch it I’ve been wanting to say it to ya😂next time I see you I’m just gonna say “oh hi mark” lol
I wish there was such a facility here in The Netherlands near me. Is that facility is pretty much always open for practice if there’s no event going on? Some kind of membership is obviously required I presume, but still, having such a facility to go to, to just put in some laps must be awesome.
Closed Monday and Tuesday, open every other day of the week. On road racing Wednesday. Off road Thursday. Both on Saturday and practice every day there isn't racing. No membership required, you pay a practice fee per day. Membership gets you a pit spot, discount on races, discount on practice, and a discount on parts.
@@dointhings They do have some stuff, just not what i'm looking for. I want race track for the typhon, something in that scale, they do have carpet but I don't like carpet. And I would like a crawler trail too, but that's all out of state. Or atleast have a store that has everything.
@@jamesskinner762 skid plates or the bottom of the truck. Do you have a slash? If you bash it look at the bottom. It’s probably chewed up a bit. Imagine those chewed up sharp pieces hitting the carpet
As malls loose traditional big chain stores they have tons of floor space for cheap, but it’s the beginning of the end, as they say. They end up bankrupt within a year or two, closed and then leveled. So enjoy it while it lasts. Sorry but that’s been my experience, and I live in a major metropolitan city.
This mall sits across the street of the old Carswell Air Force Base, now Reserve Base which shares land with Lockheed Martin where the F35's take flight for the first time. Due to the geographical nature to the AFB and Lockheed, the mall and land will be hard to re-zone for anything else.
Once a mall looses its big famous national or regional “anchor” stores like Sears or Dillards there traffic draw goes down and slowly looses the smaller speciality stores like “Foot locker” and become populated with local thrift and odd ball eclectic collectors and craft stores sometimes cool things like these RC hobby places. There is one not as big as this one in an old mall by me which is very similar with tracks. It’s great and I’m an RC fan. But eventually the maintenance and upkeep is just to much and they fold. It’s a bummer. One mall by me where I used to go to chill for over 30 years was just flattened and is now a dirt field. It may last but it would be against the odds.
thank you for saving me the trip to rcca. I have been wanting to check it out but knowing I get discriminated for the brand of rc I have. no thank you. guess me and my son don't get to try rc racing. oh well I guess.
They are really missing out on a lot of business. Was there a few weeks back and it’s so uninviting if you aren’t a racer. A sign that says no spectators past this point but you have to walk past it to get to the hobby shop. This is a mall with a ton of things for kids. They should have a fully stocked hobby shop front and center like the places you toured in south Texas. This is a prime example of a place with zero interest in growing the hobby. It’s a beautiful place but executed incorrectly.
If you're actually interested in racing or products, then you wouldn't be a spectator, so you could pass the sign. That is to keep local mall traffic form coming in and roaming around. Before they out the sign uo random people wpuod be walking the pits and picking up racers person items. As a racer there, i would ahhe to say we have plenty of people walk in and become racers.
@@dointhingsThen design it to where you have to enter the hobby shop first, pay your admission to enter the track area. The way it is now is extremely uninviting. I was there and never been before. Wearing an MSM shirt even and they all just looked at me like I wasn’t supposed to be there.
@ricerocketdave12 im sure that would be ideal if funds where unlimited but this is how the store was already laid out and unlimited funds isn't the case for most tracks as they are in it for passion and the racers. I have been to tons of tracks all around the country this is one of the more friendly and inviting than 90% of them and very few that actually have a functioning hobby shop. You also have ti understand being in a mall they get a lot of strange people juts walking up with zero interest in racing , if you are Just walk in and start talking.
This is a NEW facility and they don't want to accommodate R/C enthusiasts in wheelchairs or who have other mobility challenges? Yeah, Mark can go, but I will not support RCCA.
Sadly most RC tracks are this way. I am also paralyzed and my area didn’t for a long time. I haven’t raced in years but I don’t think much has changed on that front sadly
What type of accommodation are you needing? I know the prior location had a wheelchair ramp for years and was not used once, so it was removed. It would be easy to park next to the track and race if needed.
You say no traxxas slash or bandits but then point out a bandit 😂why is that a rule because any vehicle can be bashed and tore up. I bash my old sc10 race truck. I can run rhat on the track though because its associated?
You can run a traxxas buggy, but not slashes (or any other short course). You just really don’t see traxxas buggies racing because people are using X-ray, AE, Meugen, etc.
@@jeffbryner5355 It isn't buggy only. It's no Slash. People run 2wd and 4wd buggy (expert and sportsman classes), Stadium truck, Mini B brushless, box stock Tamiya tt01/02, Super GT, USGT, GT12, 13.5 LMP, VTA, Formula 1, Stock Touring, and Mod Touring.
@salbitre so no slash or no short course? I got a sc5m and sc6 I can run there if so. If there isn't a short course allowed I'd like to know why? Short course and 8th scale is the only way to go the others are just meh to me
