I tried to post this in the North East Event forun, but it's a little dead there.

Anyway, I was thinking of just getting together and shooting the BS along with some door to door RC racing. I'm sure we can find a place that will let us run for little to nothing. I haven't done any leg work yet, but if there's an interest...

There is a lot of new, affordable RC cars out there. From 1/24 to 1/10 scale; prices range from $10 to $500.

Any thoughts or interest?

I'm thinking that the 1/24 scale would attract the most interest. They're inexpencive, small enough to run in confined spaces and easy to modify for performance or appearance. Like I said, most placstic models can be addapted to fit so we could get some real classics going. Also, the last 914 bodies sold fit and I found a lexan 917/10 in the same scale.

Here's a few I found interesting...

1/18 scale offers more performance, but the body selection is very minimal with only one Porsche (996Turbo). Nice cars though.

1/10 scale offer much more performance but also limited Porsche bodies. Much faster than the others but requiring much more space. These can be a bit pricey too.

Anything bigger would cost as much as the CSOBOSC have in their 914s.
