Anyone from New York?

[P8ntballer]

Is there anyone on the forums in the Hudson Valley, or in New York? It seems like there's nothing car related at all around here other than the lifted chevy trucks roaming the back woods. If you're on the forum, post here and show off the NY R/C scene.

[Maxx42]

The only guys on this forum that I know of are from queens, brooklyn, nassau and suffolk. We all usually post on the club/track forum "long island monster trucks please read". Sometimes they plan trips to go upstate to race at barnstormers. I haven't been there myself but I checked out the website and the track looks pretty good.

[Pat Fierle]

I am from New york and their really is not any rc tracks close to me. I live in the buffalo area. is any one close to me.

[Colt M4]

Pat Fierle I live in Eden.

[Maxx42]

If any of you guys are close enough or just want to make the trip out there for the hell of it, a bunch of us from queens and long island are planning a trip up to barnstormers in Chester, NY probably for Saturday Aug. 20. We know it can be hard sometimes to find fellow bashers and are always looking for some new people to run with.

Erie Pa. About 90 miles west of buffalo on interstate 90.


Ive yet to go there as i just found em. They have offroad style racing indoors along with a oval/road cource and run nitro's. Sounds good, but we'll see

Im going to go up on a practice days with my t-maxx and maby my ADX chassis L3O car and my T3 if my old 3000 NiMH match packs are any good(im gonna start cycle'n em again tonite).

[Colt M4]

There is also a speedway in east aurora. If you go to WNYrcinfo.com you can find out more about what rc things are in the area.

[Jetskiboy77]

I live in Howard Beach in Queens, NY, and theres no one in my area with r/c's, and I cant make the trips every time to the track when I want to race/bash. Anyone anywhere near me?

[Maxx42]

Jetski, there are a lot of guys in the queens area that race/bash. Every Sunday there is at least 15 to 20 guys out at Cunningham park all ready for bashing. If you are interested let me know. Most guys run nitro monster trucks. Most of the time I'm the only one running electric (a brushless setup in an emaxx). It's all good fun.

[Jetskiboy77]

Ill have to check that out, that sounds really good especially since I just got all my NMT2 option parts installed. I am very interested, let me know more.

[Maxx42]

I have to check with the guys but I'm pretty sure that we'll be there this Saturday at Cunningham Park at around 9 AM. We get there early to avoid the hot summer sun that really beats down on you after a while. Last time I was there, there were about 5 savages, 2 lst's, an mt2, a tmaxx, a jato, a couple of minis and my emaxx. Some guys brought touring cars but they stayed off the road when all the MT's were out there.

Nice, so it wouldnt matter if I had a NMT2? Also are you guys racing or just bashing (either would be great), and what kind of set up do you have there?

[Maxx42]

We usually set up cones for bashing in an oval. The lot is a decent size but once you get everyone out there it "shrinks" due to all the traffic. The guys are great and are very knowledgeable / helpful in troubleshooting nitro engines. Everyone is there for bashing mainly or to get some practice in driving after making some adjustments. They also organize trips to other tracks. I know that a group of them are going to dirtrunners in jersey tomorrow. In a couple of weeks we will probably head over to barnstormers upstate ny. We will be out at CP today at 9AM until about 1.

[Jetskiboy77]

Youll be there tomorrow from 9-1 right? Ill try to come by, but I doubt it tomorrow since my sister is coming over. On this oval track, is it just dirt, or are there any jumps set up?

[Maxx42]

We only set up the oval if we get enough people that want to practice racing (whick is usually every time). On Saturday, there was only 7 of us out there. I used that outing to fine tune the suspension on my maxx to get the best handling possible out of the setup that I have. It ran extremely well. I was able to powerslide out of turns and it handled much like an LST. The guys will be out there today too. I won't make it because I was out too late last night and never got a chance to charge my batts. Also I blew out a front cvd and haven't rebuilt it yet. I'll let you know when we go out there next. If you run with that mt2 that would go good. There are a couple of other guys that run stadium trucks.

[Jetskiboy77]

So you guys are there Saturday and Sunday? And are theyre any jumps? Im glad you said my NMT2 would be fine there, I just dropped about 600$ into it (long story of how this truck came to me) and my truck is just asking to be thrashed around with. Plus I love running with other people, and I need to see if my money was spent wisely, and what other parts I need to get. Im really glad I found out you guys arent too far away. Please tell me the next time everyone is there bashing.

Cool deal. It's definitely a good place to try out any new hop ups to your ride. Usually we are only out there on Sundays, but the past couple of weeks we've been going out there for both days. We usually went to a track out in Coram on Saturdays, but they don't take good care of it so we're going to stop going there for a few weeks to see if the guy gets the hint. You're definitely welcome to come run with us at CP though.

[Maxx42]

Hey jetski. We are probably going out to South Shore Hobby this Saturday out in Corum. One of the guys is going to talk to the shop owner to see if he will get it race ready for us.

[Jetskiboy77]

Ill have to see if my dad will drive me there, its easier for me than if I drive there. Thanks a lot for telling me about this, and thanks for the invite. What time would you guys get together? I have work at 5 in the afternoon, but I would think you guys would get together much earlier in the morning. If you guys go to that race track, would it be split up into classes and us need to run lap counters? Right now I would much rather meet with people, check were not on the same frequency, and run the heck out of our rides. Now I need to find exactly where Corum and CP are located.

[Maxx42]

The track in Corum is a bit of a hike from Queens. It's about 2.5 miles off of exit 63 on the LIE. CP is right off the Grand Central (Francis Lewis Blvd exit). We usually get to the track in Corum (South Shore Hobby) for about 11:00 and stay for a few hours. The track itself is small and tight but it has a few good jumps. Everyone's first experience on that track was a rough one. Since the track is so tight, the slightest miscue will send you off course. IMO if you can handle yourself well around this track you shouldn't have much of a problem anywhere else. Again most of the guys will be running MT's so if all you have is the MT2, there will probably be only a couple of other guys with stadium trucks out there (who also bring their MT's - a Revo and an LST).

[Jetskiboy77]

Oh, would being the only stadium truck cause a problem? I dont want to mess anything up. I dont own a monster truck, Im more of a stadium truck man. And Francis Lewis Blvd isnt too bad at all, my school and my friend's schools werent to far from there.

[ron1431]

i live in the bronx and the only close place to bash is here (http://www.brucknerhobbies.com/Gun%20Hill%20Track.htm)
this is one of the reason y i got my savage. and for onroad i go to a movie theater during the day called whitestone. and bruckner has a track offroad upstate havent gone to it yet but its not that far away.

You definitely won't be the only stadium truck. I was out at Flushing Meadow Park today and I was the only MT out there. There were 2 MT2's, a Jato and a1/8 scale Ofna buggy. On only 14 cells I really couldn't keep up with them (the Mt2's and the buggy were modded and were as fast as the Jato). I was a good 5 mph slower. As they say though "Run what ya brung." I even bust out an RC18MT between runs for myself. Soon I'll throw a mamba system in there and it will hang with those stadium trucks on pavement with no problem.

Hey Ron have you ever heard of QURC? I'll talk to some of the boys and maybe someday we can set up a roadtrip with you guys in the Bronx. We were going to get a group together for a trip to Barnstormers. I checked out the pics on their site and it looks like a good setup.

When do people get together at Flushin Meadows Park? Thats not too far from me either. BTW, Im Mike, whats your real name? Im really glad I decided to check out this part of the forum. Thanks for all you help and info so far.

Glad to meet you Mike. I'm Mike as well. The Flushing Meadows thing actually wasn't planned. We were going to go to CP but then decided to go to Flushing Meadows at the last second. I'm off from work for a while so I have a lot of extra time on my hands. I was actually going to check out a track in Farmingdale today. I wasn't going to run out there, just check it out to see if it is as good as it looks online.

[Jetskiboy77]

Im going to really make an effort to get out there before school starts. Id love to go and bash with a crowd of people.

[ron1431]

whats QURC maxx ? but when i ever u want to come over just leave me a pm. how far is barnstormers i always hear people talking about it. a road trip would be great.

[Maxx42]

Unless anything changes, we will definitely be out at CP on Sunday morning.

It's Queens United RC. Just a group of us that get together and set up road trips. I believe we are going to set up a trip to Barnstormers in a couple of weeks if you're interested. I've never been there myself but guys that I have talked to all say how great the track is. Also when the vent system is completed and running, we are going to go to Raceway in Farmingdale off of route 110. I'll post more info when things are more finallized for either place..

[ron1431]

thanks maxx

[Jetskiboy77]

Thanks for the tip.

[Maxx42]

Jetski were you there today? It was raining pretty good over by me early so I figured the whole day to be a washout. I should have gone down there anyway because it cleared up a little as the day went on.

[Jetskiboy77]

No I wasnt there today Mike. Im 90% sure I will be there this upcoming Sunday. What time should I be there? I dont really have that many crystal options so what should I do to ensure I get one? Today I took out my truck by my house in the dirt with a few jumps just to see how my truck is off road with all the new parts on it and there was quite a difference. I thought it was good before but its much, much better, and I cant wait to try it out at CP. If your there next week, ill be the 17 year old kid with a NMT2 with a candy apple red truck body, and a MX3 radio. Id sure like to talk to you or anyone else there in person, so come over if you want if you see me.

Good to hear. I myself won't be there this coming Sunday because I'm going on vaca. You're still welcome to come down if you want. I'll tell Mark (QURC pres.) that you might be there and he'll keep an eye out for ya. We might be there on Saturday also. On either day guys start showing up around 9:30. You'll definitely be the youngest dude there (most guys are in there late 20's to early 30's and a couple older).

[Jetskiboy77]

Im usually the youngest one at ever get together of r/cs ive been too. I dont want you to think im an inexperienced kid, I may be young, but not stupid. I usually get looked down upon and rudely talked to because of my age. Im really looking foward to coming and cant wait to run off road with a bunch of people, because ive only ran 1/10 onroad in a big group, never any off roading.

That won't ever be a problem. Nobody has that "Holier than thou" type attitude out there. I was just concerned that you might have felt a little out of place being younger than just about all of the guys out there. I, like all of the guys I've met out there, keep an open mind to anyone that comes down to race/bash. No matter what your age or background there is always something to learn about the hobby from each other. If you,ve been driving a lot, I would expect that you probably could outdrive most of us out here. I met this one guy down at South Shore Hobby that is sponsered already and he's only 18. For now I hope we get good weather for the weekend so we can run out at CP. Hope to see ya there.

[Jetskiboy77]

I hope to see you there too. Im almost 18, and ive been driving nitro r/c since I was 14, so im not really inexperienced.

[4DMNYC]

WOW, this is pretty awesome, I'm from Staten Island. We have a pretty big bash scene out here too. We should all get together and have one gigantic bash-a-thon!!!
You can check out some of our vids and pics here....

This Sunday is NG for me. I'm going away on vac. Hopefully we'll be at CP on Saturday. If you want, I'll tell the pres. of QURC that you're coming down on Sunday and he'll keep an eye out for you.

[markanda]

Anyone is welcome to come and hang with us on Sundays. We have the lot in CP for R/C only. You dont have to worry about cars running your favorite ride over etc.....cost nothing just come and have fun-that is the only requirement. We have a forum on www.queensunitedrc.com to keep on top of any happenings that dont get posted on here. We have a great diverse group and we have a blast all the time.

That sounds pretty good to me. Maybe sometime we can all hook up for a huge bash session. Most of the guys out here at Cunningham Park don't travel too much, but there are plenty of us that will. If you want to bring a crew of people down sometime you're more than welcome.

[ron1431]

hey there are going to be a few people about 5-6 guys out on the gunhill track any one want to come after 1 pm if you are going to come.

[Jetskiboy77]

Do you have like an address for CP?

[markanda]

Do you have like an address for CP?

Right off of union turnpike and Francis Lewis Blvd. The entrance to the lot where we meet is on Francis Lewis 100 yards south of Union Tpke and on the southbound side of Francis Lewis. Jet, I sent you my cell number if you get lost. We are looking forward to a nice crowd tomorrow, the earlier the better. I will be there around 930isssh.

[Jetskiboy77]

Whered you send your number to? Id like to send you my cell phone number also.

Definitly, definitly, definitly. I pretty sure all the people I bash with will have no problem traveling out to queens. I know exactly where CP is so I'll be in touch to let you know when.

[Jetskiboy77]

Mark, I had an amazing time today. Thank you for being so helpful and welcoming. I dont think ive ever been around a better bunch of bashers. I cant wait to come back, only this time with onroad tires. Id like to see those pics that you took. Thanks again, and im really looking foward to coming back, and hopefully ill fix my friends truck and he'll be able to come too. There really was a nice crowd there like you said there would be.

There used to be a track called Tarmac up in Poughkeepsie I believe. I dont know if they are still active. Prospeedraceway in Middletown runs on Sundays.

[Jetskiboy77]

Mark is everyone going to be there tomorrow? I should be coming there again tomorrow, hopefully everyone is there. I will give you a call if I dont hear from you on here.

Just spoke with Keith, he will be out. I will be out. Joho will be out. I am sure the usual suspects will be out. Ill be there between 9 and 930. My MTs are ready for racing and rubbing !

[Jetskiboy77]

Lol mine is too, ill just give it a quick look over and cleaning tonight, and ill make sure everythings charged and hopefully I wont have glitching again. Ill try to get there around 9 too. Would the other Mike be there?

I dont think he is back yet, but then I dont know for sure. I think he was going for a week.

[Jetskiboy77]

Ok thats fine, Ill definitly be there tomorrow, espeically since my boss messed up and I got off from work. :) Ill prob get there early and leave late tomorrow. Ill see you then.

[Jetskiboy77]

Mark, when and where is the offroad track. I would really enjoy going to one with all the guys.

We are doing a road trip to Barnstormers in Harriman (exit 16 next weekend) the 18th. I started a thread about it on the QURC site as well. www.queensunitedrc.com

you just need to register and stuff...

[P8ntballer]

Where are you and what are you looking to race. I am near Poughkeepsie and there is lots of racing going on.

I am in Kerhonkson and currently only have a Mini-T, but a custom 1/18 scale dual BL truggy is in the works in machine shop class. :cool: I don't think there is an off-road track nearby other than Barnstormers in Chester. I might have to switch to on-road. :)

Mike, good to see that you met the boys down there. I just got back from vacation and figured I'd check all of my email and such. I'll be ready to run whenever the guys meet next.

[Jetskiboy77]

Thats good to hear Mike, I had a lot of fun meeting the guys. Mark, where is this off road track? Is there a link to it or any pics?

[markanda]

www.barnstormersrc.com Sunday the 18 there is a nice contingent of us going. I would love to carpool with someone so let me know. Plan on being out the whole day ! It is the premier off road track in the NY metropolitan area. We can all meet up in FMP early Sunday as a point to all leave from. If I get a definite head count I will arrange for food.

So far

Chester NY approx 1.5 hour going...coming home will be more because of traffic. Expect to be gone the whole day. We will be leaving from FMP off the Van Wyck early in the morning around 8. They open @ 9. Look forward to a fun day. We will be counting on you for pitting for some of the guys with trucks as you will be running in the 1/10 class.

[Maxx42]

Hey Jetski. You up for CP this Saturday 9/17? There should be a few of us down there.

I have to leave to go upstate with my girlfriend in like 10 minutes and my truck is in 100 pieces because I got my Tower order in and started puting everything on last night, but didnt put the truck back together.

[Jetskiboy77]

Are you guys getting together tomorrow?

[markanda]

I will be @ CP ....usual time usual suspects ....

[Jetskiboy77]

Sounds good. I should be there between 9:00-10:00.

[Saboteur]

I run at floyd bennett field in brooklyn, NY and will be checking out the track at Bridgeport, CT. :)

[Jetskiboy77]

Sab, why dont you come out to CP one day?

[nitrous]

Hey you heard about the Brooklyn Raceway people are starting to build this track also come to the culb/track foum for all about brooklyn races and the new tracks that are being built oh yeah i live in brooklyn on coney island ave and ave h.!!!!!

[markanda]

I heard a rumor that the guys that do the on road @ Floyd Bennet are setting up an off road track as well. I look forward to that .....

[Saboteur]

Yeah that place up there even has room to drag race real cars! LOL. I'd also like to get in on the offroad action, although come next year I may be moving futher up north...mostlikely into the CT area.

I go to floyd during the week to practice on road there in the track area... I have seen MANY get bused for drag racing there. The NYPD has a HUGE facitily there.....I used to race my trucks there but I dont have the need to go there on the weekends as we have nice crowd at CP and we have some great club style racing...I heard about that track in bridgeport, do you know the name or the site address ?

[Saboteur]

http://www.acesnitrorc.com/

That's their site. One thing though few racers got their gripe about that track especially when Tom Baffer SR hosts the races. There is also limited parking so you gotta get there early. The area is also another thing.

[Jetskiboy77]

I heard a rumor that the guys that do the on road @ Floyd Bennet are setting up an off road track as well. I look forward to that .....

Is there any way of finding out if this is legit? Maybe someone could call up Brooklyn Hobbies and find out for sure.

Mark, since all you guys are getting into 1/10 onroad electric, maybe one day we could do and onroad thing and ill bring my nitro tourer, or we could go to Flloyd and do the onroad there once. Just a suggestion, I think its worth thinging about. My on road is just sitting on my shelf and when I saw you guys with the TC3's and 4s on Saturday I figured we could do some onroad too.

[Saboteur]

Currently Floyd is holding electric onroad races. I have my gear, but not the right car; it's a Tamiya TL-01 :D. Great rally car though, but that's about it. Gotta check with the guys on the forums to see if they will do on/offroad.

Mark-Hows it going down at QURC? Never really got to go there due to the traffic and possible event of no one showing up. :( Heard some of the guys been bailing out.

[Jetskiboy77]

Ive been going for like the last month now and theres never been less than 5 people there.

Sab - We have had the BEST season ever.....the only ones bailing out are the ones that are not welcome !!! lol (they know who they are !) You should try and make it out as we have fun second to none out there lately and no GRIPING or WHINING ! lol

That place you are talking about is on Gun hill road ? (ill pass) If I am going to pay the tolls I would go to dirtrunners or to the barn.

Mike - regarding the onroad.....Floyd has racing there on Sunday but I have heard that they have computer problems and they are unable to complete a race without problems etc.....I practice there all the time during the weekdays.

CP this weekend !

[Saboteur]

Oh, the offroad place? Naw I'm not gonna go there lol. Bridgeport is Onroad. They have a really nice track, but the limited parking spoils stuff. You'd just have to bring all your gear from the vehicle with ya to the track so coming early is beneficial. I'll try to head out to ya and see what's goin down. When do ya get together again?

You'd just have to bring all your gear from the vehicle with ya to the track so coming early is beneficial. I'll try to head out to ya and see what's goin down. When do ya get together again?

Register if you are not still on the QURC forum - we have the permit to be in CP till the End of October and we have a regular off road crowd. We are going to Barnstormers on October 9th but we have been out almost every Saturday and Sunday ......

Hope to see you out there soon...Is the bridgeport track indoor ?

[Saboteur]

Oh I think my name is still on there. Bridgeports track is on that site. It's outdoor and they just race 8th onroad and nitro sedan; no electrics. It's on that link above.

Ty Sab...got it...that is not far from here either and would be a fun road trip to check out.....

That track is very nice, what is story there ? Is it open during the week for practice ? only on weekends ? City of bridgeport runs that ? Interesting

I know, this thread has been forgotten, but in browsing it's applicable and of interest to me now....

I am in the process of moving, from Staten Island to the upstate/hudson valley/capital region of NY. I will be approximately an hour from Poughkeepsie, and if I clocked it right, about 1 from barnstormers, maybe a little more. I wasn't paying the best attention to that when driving on sunday.

I know right now as I am in SI, there are places in NJ to go (trax70 I believe) as well as Brownies when the weather gets nicer, though they only run minis there.

I have checked out via the web, and I think there are a couple tracks in CT/MA that RCCA uses that are within an hour or so of where I am at, so it certainly seems like there are options

would be curious to find others in that area (518/845 AC). wouldn't mind finding out more about those bashing in Poughkeepsie either. Right now, I am basing my MGT on my property, and occassionaly my mLST in my office or my basement. My RC10GT is on the table, been DOA for a few years, seeing if it's worth the wrench time...

Tmaxx is a nice truck to bash. If you want to really bash a stock truck, the Savage and MGT are more durable though. Revo is more towards racing. Sry dude, but I don't live in Brooklyn and moved from there 3 years ago.

I use to live in Brooklyn, NY near flatbush n Nostrand. I come down to race at FBF sometimes.

[SerpentCT4S]

I live in Queens.

[4DMNYC]

What part of Queens? There are a few people from Queens that travel to Staten Island on the weekends to bash.

[SerpentCT4S]

Flushing. I just got a savage. Where do you guys meet up to bash with trucks? I wanna hit up some dirt with this truck!

[4DMNYC]

We usualy meet at a place called Miller Feild. It's an old small aircraft airport that has been converted into a rather large state park. It has great off road areas as well as on road. Here's a funny little site I found on it:

http://www.geocities.com/miller_field/

On a good day there are about 15-30 guys and gals that meet up and bash. We usualy bring ramps and have a blast. Let me know if you wanna come down to bash and I'll tell you where and when the festivities are happening.

You can check out the videos on our site if you want to get an idea of the kind of bashing that goes on.

FYI, we have been aving a very nice crowd every Sunday. We have been setting up a track that has been the site of some great Monster truck racing. The surface is sandy tarmac. We will be holding annual event sponsored by NYC hobbies later on this year in Cunningham Park.
