Some clarification on the rules due to some questions.

For the Buggy Stock/Spec class.
At this time, ONLY the Duratrax Vendetta and Associated RC18B, at this time, are allowed in this class.

BOTH vehicles Must run the factory stock speed control, servo and motor. NO modifications to the motor in any way. You CAN NOT take the motor apart. The motor MUST have the sticker on it that it came with.
MUST use factory stock tires. NOW, if the tires wear out, YES, you may replace them BUT ONLY with the same exact tire that came with the car. As for rims, they MUST be the EXACT same size as the rims that came with the car.

No modifications to the factory stock chassis.
Factory a-arms only.

You MUST use the factory stock shocks. You may change the shock oil and springs but you can only use the shocks that came with the car.

5 or 6 Cells 2/3A Type Battery Packs ONLY (7.2 volts max)
Must stock buggy body and wing


In ALL OTHER CLASSES, again, aftermarket a-arms must be used but they may not make the vehicle wider than designed by the manufacurer.

In designated classes, an aftermarket chassis may be used but it may not make the vehicle longer than intented by the manufatrurer.

Mini Monster classes. Again, the minimum tire size is 2.5 inches. NO Maximum tire size is listed has been listed. NO FOAM TIRES.

PLEASE email me with any questions & I hope this helps everyone out.

Also, in the March editions of R/C Driver and Xtreme R/C Cars we have FULL PAGE COLOR ads to promote the race!!!

Reedy is again going to provide the handout motors for the stock truck & novice classes. We have a limited number of these motors so sign up NOW to make sure you get in!

The 1/18 Indoor Off Road Nats at R/C Madness have just concluded and all we can say is WOW!!! What an outstanding event! There was phenomenal racing in every class and several first time 1/18 National Champions were crowned.

We at R/C Madness wanted to take this time to thank everyone involved in the event. All of our sponsors, racers, shop help and tech help. It is hugely appreciated.

Very special thanks to the following:

• Team Associated. Garry Owen, Tony Phalen and Josh Anderson are a great group and have already said they will be back in 2007.
• Castle Creations. Shawn Palmer is just a class act and bent over backwards to help out everyone he could, even those not using his product. He too has confirmed a 2007 return.
• R/C Driver. Greg, Frank and Eric did not just come to cover the event, they also raced and helped out everyone they could. Special thanks to Sharron Warner from Maple Gate Media for coming to the event too. They have also confirmed a 2007 return.
• Xtreme R/C Cars. Big thanks to Derek Buono for making the trip and giving us additional coverage.
• Duratrax. Thanks to Jeff Noffsinger for helping out all the Vendetta drivers and for his continued support. They too have confirmed a return in 2007.
• Apogee. Thanks to Bill Birmingham for bringing his high quality LiPo products to the race and for his sponsorship. He, like many others, has confirmed a 2007 return.
• Team Scream. John is just awesome helping out all the people he does and is a long time supporter of R/C Madness. Team Scream will be back in 2007.
• The guys from Quark & Hacker. A fine group that will be back in 2007.

• And all of our t-shirt and door prize sponsors that could not come to the event

We hope to see everyone from this past year & more on March 30, 31 and April 1 for the 2007 1/18 Indoor Off Road Nats!
