Do you have or doing any 1/10 RC stuff? Some of the AE86 guys are really into it as well. So we're all going to start meeting up and sliding.

I do or I did...FRS in the garage, not sure when I'll be able to do it again. Raced at NorCal Hobbies in UC but only in the touring cars.

Sure, post when you guys decide to go sliding around. I don't drift and I've been looking for opps to rebuild my tub chassis. I'll just play around with grip.

This sounds like fun, although I haven't gone paintball since my college years, plus, guys like me (fat+slow) always end up easy targets and are out too fast

I haven't yet! I was going to once things are a bit more finalized

I wanna try this paintball thing as I've never done it either. Couple/few weeks in advance notice, and weekends work best for me so hopefully whatever you guys plan will coincide with my schedule.

Id plan anything paintball related for early morning or later afternoon.. It can get toasty out there with the mask on running around like Master Chief.

finch1750 · 07-17-2013, 04:35 PM

Hell yeah. I went for the first time earlier this year and its a blast. Just check Groupon because I think Midway is one of the places that takes it. Should end up being less than $50 a person that way.

Maybe a weekend in September would be a good time for this meet. There is a ton of stuff in August already and this way it'll be cooler too.

Yup that's what I was planning. Meet around 9ish and finish by lunch time or earlier. I'm just trying to find out which days would be best for everyone before I make a thread about it

Yeah! I've seen groupons for it a few times but never ended up buying them lol. I'm actually at midway right now cause my bf is playing with his team and its ridiculously hot, so you're right, sometime in September may be ideal!

Yeah, I used the groupon for a bachelor party and it worked pretty well. Just need to pay for paint.

DAYUM! those are sick!

Where did you get pricing?

Edit: nevermind, found them on tirerack. I've been eyeing the gold rpf1's or even the OZ allegerita's but these look good (look nice in white too). Sure, they're sparcos and are probably 2-3 lbs heavier, but damn or that price, I maybe even have enough saved for a set of performance tires. Didn't know they were developed by OZ either.

Me- easy target also... On the plus side. Maybe the paintballs just bounce off of us and don't break...?😁

Clipdat · 07-17-2013, 08:30 PM

I think you know what you need to do...

...I mean I would if I had a WRB and a roof rack!
