10.5 Electric Late Models

[Matt Murphy]

There has been interest in an electric Late Model class. If I can get 10 of them at the first series race, I will make them a points scoring class. I am thinking 10.5 with DODC Rules and the same tire rules for each track as the Sprint cars.
Let me know if you are interested!

Matt,

Count my Rocket in.

I talked to Ron Bolles today and he and I are willing to make all the races.

Matt, do you think we could get a "yes" or a "no" on this class fairly soon? I don't have anything to run at the loose dirt tracks (I'd have to buy tires/wheels, etc.) and I don't really want to spend the money if you're not going to run the cars in the series. Having a latemodel class though is kind of the selling point for both Ron and I to run the series seeing as neither of us race any nitro, and it would be a tough sell to drive down to madera and Bako just to run elec sprint.

Matt, are the spoiler rules for the 1/10 LM the normal DODC - 2.750" from deck, etc? Are both the Eldora and Paduka bodies approved?

Thanks, Frank

I run 1/8lm , but used to run alot of 1/10 paved oval, would love to run a 10.5 late model, anyone interested in trading a losi xxxnt w/ a os.12 and EDM conversion kit with new unpainted body for a 10.5 latemodel. I also have an Ofna DO PRO new never ran, would trade that also!! Just thought I'd ask :)

Hey Tim,
Not sure I want to trade a car, but if you're interested, I have a really nice custom works GBX with a novak GTB and a Novak 10.5 in it that you can do an "arrive and drive" with, maybe trade a few practice laps in an 8th scaler. I'm planning on making all the races in the series. I can take care of a battery for it also. Just ask that you cover your own tire bill and any broken parts.

Let me know if you're interested,

I am planning on making all the races, I actually have 2 complete race ready Losi L8eight models, so I you more than welcome to put some laps on one. I am gonna be at BRC this sat the 20th trying to get some more track time in before CVR.... I have 2 lipo batteries, but not sure if they are what you use, they are 5000mah, 35c hardcase Protek's, both brand new, would they work???

[PBR Allstar]

Oh yeah, those batteries would be fine! (better than what I primarily run! LOL!) Matt Murphy can give you all the details on the tires you'll need. unfortunately I don't think I'm going to be able to get out before CVR, but I'll keep Brentwood in mind next saturday if I don't end up working. So yeah, go ahead and plan on having a 10.5 Ride for the series if you want it, although I'm not sure how it's gonna work at Rescue? I was planning on running my B3 latemodel there.

I'd just like to run for an extra class and have a good time, figure why drive to all these races for one car?? If the car doesn't work for rescue then it can be a throw out, but we could at least try to run for the car count anyhow.... I miss runnin electric, NO FLAME OUTS LOL

Frank - Yes all the standard DODC Late Model body rules apply. Both of the above mentioned bodies are on the list. Sorry, I never saw this post....:confused:

OK guys, 10.5 Late Models will officially be running for series points. There has been enough interest in them to add the class for the entire season.
