Who Tells Lies Not Me Thats For Sure Well See Everyone On Sunday \

[m3ndo5a]

Your gearing also depends on if you are running NIMH or Lipos....4.7 to 5.1 with NiMH and Lower with Lipos 4.3 to 4.8.......something like that. The difference is because how the Batteries Drain.:teacher:

[SerpentKing101]

guess the 6.14 I got would be not enough, eh?

Then again, Im not rocking the Novak...

[fmrc]

it should be about the same john atleast real close

[dawg29]

Your gearing also depends on if you are running NIMH or Lipos....4.7 to 5.1 with NiMH and Lower with Lipos 4.3 to 4.8.......something like that.

Hey Ya'll, I Almost Forgot To Give A Shout Out To Manny For Giving Me That Fuse. Thought I Had To Buy A New Charger! Man I Appreciate It!

[Whiskey 1]

William, what type of off road truck are you running?

[SerpentKing101]

Chris, remember this (http://cgi.ebay.com/IntelliSpeed-8T-Pro-Speed-Control-Racing-Fwd-Only-ESC_W0QQitemZ140194590683QQihZ004QQcategoryZ44028Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)? tripled in value, too. All he did was replace the wires...

[fmrc]

yeah just a little work and you could have gotten more for it o-well man I cant wait till Sunday its going to be fun and from what I herd there might be a maggot or two we might have to deal with

[tbsr2139]

D' you have a pm...

[tbsr2139]

Chris give me a call, I dont have your new number...

[Whiskey 1]

Hey Chris, can we put up for a vote with the Mini Cooper racers if we can allow the use of Takeoff RP30 tires? They cost less to buy than the Tamiya 60D and wear a whole lot better, not to mention that they handle better. The only drawback to these tires is that the diameter is smaller so the top end is slower. I think it falls in the keep the sport cheap and competitive category. The tires can be purchased from Nexus racing @ ( http://nexusracing.net)
Mfr Part#: RP30MINI $11.95 a pair. I'm Checking with Alan to see if he is able to order them for our use.

[SerpentKing101]

Finally got my stuff shipped after about 2 weeks (holidays..phht)

Chris, you might like the LRP motor. It has that brushed feel.

[fmrc]

cool John give me a call tomarrow

[bigwill]

Right now I am runing my rustler but I want to order me a four wheel drive buggy

[comeinup]

john u get that body painted for me ?

[tbsr2139]

Will if mitch does buy that futaba radio, do you want it? I'm selling it with 2 recievers and 2 sets of crystals.

Chris any luck with finding those axles?

[SerpentKing101]

Going to knock it out tommorrow when its warmer.

[fmrc]

going to look tomarrow tommy it was too cold to be in the garage today

[JimmyMac]

You gonna run the Schuey Sunday Chris? Looks like it's gonna be another good race day! Can't wait. I have a lot more testing to do to the new car. Catch yall then!

[fmrc]

Dont know yet Jimmy I am working on it but if its not the way I want it then I will just run the TC4

[comeinup]

I should be 6th! Tavares left before I did...

protest!
--
Well..car behaves itself with the electronics outside it...hmm...

[JimmyMac]

Congrats on the win William! Just remember slow and easy through the turns will produce faster lap times. Same with you Chris L. Running behind you after the main, you just need to let off and let the car roll through the turns. Good win in the B to bump into the A. I had a bad start in the main, my fault. And a brain fart later on, my fault again. haha. But over all, I'm very pleased with my new car. Remember if anyone needs help with setup, feel free to ask me for help. I'm sure Terrell doesn't mind either.

Congrats on the Mini win Manny.

Catch yall next time!

[tbsr2139]

I know I did bad in the A but at least show I was there..:)


Nice run everyone.

[m3ndo5a]

It was fun running with you guys. You have all gotten faster. And like Jimmy said calm the cars down through the turns (slow in fast out and 180 is the fastest route in a curve) and it will be serious neck to neck racing.

William you are getting much faster your car seem to be solid.....I will bring out a Fun Body next week maybe a NSX or BMW.

Jimmy you made the TRF416 perform very well.......It is up to running low end running speed of the MEDUSA with only being out at the track twice......I am going to have to step up b/c know I cannot get away a second time like that.........I will run the EVO5 to get the low end speed back next week.

I would suggest as a note. Turn Marshalls/Racers.....if someone Dog is barking at the track and running near the lane.......Someone need to say something....It is very hard to run sight wise.

[fmrc]

yeah I noticed that and by the time I was going over there he had left that was my bad guys sorry about that

[bigwill]

Jimmy,,Terrell thanks for all the help! I had a great time racing with everyone,and Terrell I hope this sunday I won't have to yell Hey buddy slow down where I can catch up...

[bigwill]

Hey manny had a blast.....with the mini's buddy ...You need to slow down that TC5 a little

[SerpentKing101]

may have fixed the glitching thing. Only did it (indoor test) when I aimed the antenna at the living room comp.

We'll see...

[JimmyMac]

Best answer for glitching is to get a spektrum radio! Especially in a parking lot. They have underground cables for the street/parking lot lights. Plus the direction we are looking at is right across the street from the police department. Not to mention McDonalds and somewhere I'm picking up a WiFi signal on my iPhone. So there's alot of interference around.

Where you running brushless or brush motor in your car? Brushed motors can have bad capacitors that will cause glitching. Are you running lipo or nimh pack in your car? If nimh packs, the batteries shrink wrap can be torn and shorting out on your chassis. This will cause glitching. Where is your receiver mounted? Mount it on 3 layers of stick tape away from the power wires. Also make sure you have fresh batteries in your radio. Are you using rechargeable batteries in your radio? If so, switch them out with alkaline batteries. They have more voltage. Rechargeables have 9.6v vs. 12v of alkaline. Just some things to consider. I'll check out your car Sunday and see if I see anything.

[SerpentKing101]

Asked this question on another forum, and a guy told me to go Spectrum, too. Bah. Might have to get that Nomadio sooner than I hoped. :(

Im running a BL with NimH. No shrink-wrap to worry about. radio works fine in the revo so its not a hardware issue.

[Whiskey 1]

Hey making it to the big show (A main) is a reward in it's self. I know I need to slow down, I'll try to do that after I get the shaking part under control. Thanks Will and Tommy for the racing tips to get me there. Chris I have to confess and conceed the mini win to Will. I was being out driven by all of you Sunday, and I wanted to show how much better a tire the RP30 was so I ran them prior to the tire option vote hoping to sway the vote for the use of them. There's no way in Heck I can outdrive him yet, but it shows how much better a tire it was. He ate me up in the straights, but in the infield he had no chance with those D60's. Sorry Guys I won't do it again. Right now the rp30's are on backorder, so I won't run mine until everyone has the oppertunity to get themselves a set. Also, go to www.rc-mini.net to learn about double stuffing the D60 tires. I'll now make my way to the Hall of Shame until I see you on Raceday.. oops I mean Sunday. Also If I have to serve a penalty for my actions on Sunday, I'm willing to accept the consequences. Once again Will and all the other Mini Cooper racers please accept my apology. Whiskey 1 (Manny)

[Whiskey 1]

Also mini Cooper racers check out these tamiya rims on E-Bay. on click on this: http://stores.ebay.com/Jasons-Store. then copy and paste in this Item # (250192204790) in the search box.

[SerpentKing101]

Ran the car today. No glitching, but too short of a range (maybe if I stand in the middle of the track I'll be OK)

And I think we all knows what happens when one of my cars becomes a paperweight...

[Whiskey 1]

John invest in the Futaba® 3PM w/2.4GHz FASST System(Spectrum) from Tower Hobbies. its $189.99 minus $20.00 internet discount(see code on home page for purchases over $149.00). You won't be disapointed.

[SerpentKing101]

Wil have to sell stuff to get one...

[Whiskey 1]

I just checked E-Bay, they have some for sale with 0 or low bids. :)

[Whiskey 1]

Well Chris and the other Mini Cooper drivers, Nexus (the shop I got the RP30 from) E-mailed me today to say the tires have been discontinued. Ain't that a blip!!!! I guess I'll have to double stuff to keep the D60's from tearing if it even works. See ya Sunday if the weather is good. Also the T4 build is going well. The instructions are really nice.

[fmrc]

John call me today after 4pm I have a reciever for you to try

[bigwill]

hey tommy do you still have that truck call me 843-8519

[fmrc]

will there are some people wanting to come and practice tomarrow at the dirt track i told them to call me after 1130 so they wont be there untill after 12 is that cool?

[SerpentKing101]

Still gonna be there around 4? Mail doesnt until 2, and I'll have to fly up to Glenn's for a header...

[tbsr2139]

The weather look's crappy for Sunday so a couple of us (me and ernie) are going to Rosewood to run mini's. Any one else want to go, we are leaving town about 11:30.
Will the guy who has that truck put it on EBay, I'll talk to him Monday.

[fmrc]

the weather looks fine cloudy but we should be fine

[SerpentKing101]

Once again, I do business with a guy who does not understand the concept of timely shipping. For someone old enough to be my father, I find it sad.

I also compiled a list of stuff I may or may not be getting rid of (read: everything but the fk05 roller and spares). You guys gets first crack.

[fmrc]

John I am going to bring reciever for you to try today

[SerpentKing101]

Yeah..too cold for me to be out there with just a shrunken sweater and gloves.

Ill see if I end up with a spectrum system (Airtronics or Nomadio) by next sunday.

[fmrc]

I hope so John great racing today the entire A-main was on the lead lap today great job guys I will post the results tomarrow

[m3ndo5a]

Hey guys sorry I missed out on the race on Sunday, I was at The Track in Maryland. I will be setting up a layout at the WOOD on Sunday, This race is for those getting ready for the Snowbirds. I would like to have a rubber class for carpet......so if you want to try your skills out on carpet bring it on. The Ideal tire for carpet would be Jaco Green or RP30(discontinued) or Tamiya b3's
pretty much any tire will hook up with a solid asphalt setup, Oneway is ideal but a spool work well. Sunday is going to be pretty cold 43*. If you have any question you can email me about the race. If you need tires Let Glenn Know.

We will be running
Stock Foam
Stock Rubber
Stock 1/12
Maybe
Mini Coopers just for fun

[fmrc]

I was thinking of that myself I will make a judgement call on Thursday if we will race or not on Sunday the forcast has to be a hight of 50 for us to race if not then I might go and race

[bigwill]

hey buddy just might see you sunday... I will need tires

[m3ndo5a]

If you have rp30's you are good.....If you are running rubber. If you have a 19 turn or 10.5 motor bring it just in case rubber has to run with foam. Foam is lighter and quicker so we up the Horsepower for the Rubber tires.

For those who want to run foam, you will need to thicken up your shock oil and change the car roll center, other than that that it. Your gear will be done by a Rollout, for brushless around 45mm. Go to gearchart.com to figure out your rollout.

Rubber we use the same set up as outside and pretty the same gear.

As you all may know.....Roar has ruled that 17.5 will be legal for stock racing. 13.5 will more than likely go away or be a class of its own. Lipo's are legal and 10.5 is legal for 19turn racing. I have change my kits to Brush motors
CO27.....unless the everyone is racing 13.5 I have it in the tool box. Since I have change back to Brush motor the Car is so much easier to Drive. I hope to see yall at the wood if the weather is too cold to race outside.

Glenn will have the shop open for tires and such......so come on out.

[bigwill]

Hey Manny when is you a coming to the track to practis because I benwating on you by chris

[fmrc]

chris me? what you waiting on from me

[JimmyMac]

13.5 is still legal in 19t/10.5 class. Also, 13.5 will be the new Super Stock class in 2009 for Roar. No more 19t. 10.5 will be legal for mod though. Lipos are now Roar legal in all 6cell classes.

[SerpentKing101]

Then, when other manufacterers make their own 17.5, then Novak makes another ROAR-legal stock motor BL equivalent. Truly awesome business plan.

[Whiskey 1]

Chris, I have to visit a College with my son on Saturday. But I'll try for the following Saturday if you guys will be running. See ya on Sunday.

[tbsr2139]

Somebody help me, whats the min. weight limit for etc. Please tell me its about 40 oz's. LOL

Chris I can't race Sunday it's my little girls B-day. Will are you going to Rosewood Saturday? If so I will bring that truck with me.

[JimmyMac]

Hey guys. I'm selling 2 of my used Orion carbon 3200 lipo packs for $80 for both of them. I'm selling them because eXpress Motorsports now sells lipo packs. So being a team driver for them, I will be running their lipo packs. I will not be in Fayetteville this Sunday. I'll be at Rosewood. Let me know if anyone is interested. FCFS.

[comeinup]

so whats up are we raceing sunday ? or going to rose wood saturday?

[JimmyMac]

Don't forget, at Rosewood this weekend it's Saturday Oval and Sunday Touring. Just to clarify that up for any misunderstandings.

[fmrc]

NO racing in Fayetteville this Sunday way to cold!!! you all should go to rosewood on Sunday and talk them into racing with us when it warms up

[JimmyMac]

Let me know when Ernie will be at Rosewood. Saturday or Sunday.

[Dee]

[m3ndo5a]

And we can run any classes that you guys like on Sunday. No foam tires run rubber......13.5, 10.5, 27t or 19t......bring whatever you have. I will be helping anyone that needs set ups for carpet....I am sure Jimmy and other will help out too.This is the time to get some go fast tips from these guys.......I will be setting up the track at 9am.....the Grove will start at 10am........racing will start at 2pm.

[SerpentKing101]

Hey, Who for sure is going to Rosewood on Sunday. I will go if we have enough guys. I'll be out of town Saturday but can do Sunday. I just don't want to go by myself.

[fmrc]

[m3ndo5a]

Try to show your support there and maybe they will show their support at Fayetteville.That way we can have one big race community......hint hint.

[JimmyMac]

Makes ya wish we lived in Maryland sometimes. Haha.

[SerpentKing101]

Chris, when you ever decide to get bodies again, I got a list of some.

[comeinup]

[JimmyMac]

Ernie ain't backing out is he? Gotta know if I should bring the goods or not.

[tbsr2139]

Ernie is going to be there Saturday, weather permitting, he also is planning to race Sunday.

[fmrc]

[Da Skills]

I found out what is wrong with my brushless motor. My rotor is cracked!! I remember when it happend. That race I got banged around and got hit on the motor, which knocked one of my wires off. I'm thinking that's when it happened. Well I will pick up a new one this week.

[Whiskey 1]

Derick, I think I have a spare rotor 4 u free . Let me check tomarrow morning , call me 578-3328.

[JimmyMac]

Don't do it! He's gonna give you a bonded rotor!!! haha :D

[Da Skills]

Funny Jimmy!:D I'll give you a call Manny.

[fmrc]

you better watch out d he may be right

[Whiskey 1]

D, I can't find it. I went through all my stuff and can't figure out where it went too. :confused:I feel bad but will continue to look.

[fmrc]

[Da Skills]

That's cool Manny, I'll get one just in case.

[fmrc]

[JimmyMac]

Anyone wanna buy an Airtronics M11 radio with Spektrum Pro module and Spektrum Pro SR3001 receiver? Plus original 75mhz module for $260. Lemme know. I'll give the NC crew a stab at it before I post it up on RCTech in a few days. Very well taken care of and less than a year old.

Yes, thanks to the Fayetteville crowd for showing up. Good run William! You are getting that Losi dialed!

[fmrc]

I have some BIG news comming up in the next week or two keep your eyes open fo ra big race comming to Fayetteville in either April or early May (we are talking 50+ racers so everyone will want to start practicing soon I will run that layout 2 times a month or so for practice for this race

[dawg29]

What's Up With This Weekend. Has Anybody Made Any Plans?

[fmrc]

we are racing in the vill

I dont know about off-road Will needs to contact me

HEY Will contact me

[SerpentKing101]

Wish I could cough up 260. I'm radio-less for the moment.

[tbsr2139]

D' I have a sintered rotor if you need one?

Chris we need to start a legends class here in the Vil. What ya think?

D' you have a pm

[Whiskey 1]

Tommy, get a mini. The class is already set up and very competative. Besides, I just bought a T4. And if my wife found out I bought another car she would cut my .... off and throw them in the swamp behind my house. And it's too cold to be looking for them outside so I'd have to do without them until spring.

[JimmyMac]

Looks to be good for Sunday! Can't wait! Still have my M11 for sale. See above posts.... Catch yall soon.

[JimmyMac]

Well I have to work this Sunday at 4. I may or may not stop by to get a few laps in. Not sure though. Sucks arse monkeys!! But oh well. Not working Saturday though.

[dawg29]

Hey, Good To Hear We Are Running Sunday. Can't Wait! As Far As Offroad , The Drivers Stand Is Done And The Track Is Sweet! I'll Pass Will The Message. See Ya'll Soon.

[bigwill]

Hey Jimmy.....Terell...had fun sundaynight can't wait to do it again..

[bigwill]

hey chris address 8644 shannon rd.. NC

[bigwill]

Hey D looking for you........

[Da Skills]

Hey Will I'm here. Just put my brushless back together, now maybe I will have some sting. My motor was flat.

Thanks Tommy, I know who has a backup if I need it.

[JimmyMac]

Terrell I might, and that is a might, head to VA Beach to race this Saturday. Just thought I'd let ya know. Depends on their rules and if they are racing or not. Guess I'll try rubber tire carpet again.

[m3ndo5a]

If you do Let me know......There is always AtL as well with Nexus. Are you talking about Debbies? I really do not want to put this new kit on Asphalt....I got my IR gear straight, now I am running 1.7 or I can do 1.9

[m3ndo5a]

http://www.debbiesrcworld.com/ I do not see the Roar member only rules.

[JimmyMac]

You can run lipo there, but you can not run brushless. I'll have to ask them about Roar membership. Last time there you needed to have membership. I'll have to join anyways since I'll be heading to the Nats in June. Anyways, they run rubber tire (any rubber tire), brushed stock motors, and 6cell nimh or lipo. They open at 8am and start racing at 11:00~11:30am.

[Whiskey 1]

Hey Chris, The updated Tamiya Series rules are on their website and now has the following changes (PDF version is the most updated one that show these changes):

12. New for 2008: The use of LIPO batteries is now permitted in this class, but due to the battery compartment having a rounded profile, the only legal LIPO for this class is the Orion/Peak 3200 Carbon Edition hard cased pack. Modifying the M-chassis to fit other hard case LIPO batteries is not permitted.
13. New for 2008: All M-chassis cars must meet a minimum weight of 1300 grams.

I've made the changes already to meet the new rules. See ya Sunday

[fmrc]

what ever manny you can now tun lipos in mini's do you have a 20t pinion i could boarrow mine is wore out and they didnt have any at the wood Sat

[Whiskey 1]

I have one I'm using, but I ordered one Monday from Alan that should be here by Sunday that you can use. I' didn't know until last weekend that they were metric. That's why my T4 transmission sounded so loud 2 weeks ago when we were looking at it. :)

[JimmyMac]

Yeah, all Tamiya gears are metric 64 pitch and metric 48 pitch. Almost, but not quite fits. Tamiya does, or did make a hardened 20 tooth pinion that would not wear out on ya. But I don't have the part number. I'll have to look it up. From my understanding, you need to stock up on the regular Tamiya 20 tooth pinions because they wear out into shark teeth very fast...

[fmrc]

well mine lasted about 14 months so it was not to bad but it did wear out past even thinking of using anymore HAHAHA

[JimmyMac]

I posted this in the Rosewood forum... I'll post it here as well...

If anyone is looking for a brushless esc, I have my Novak GTB SpreadSpektrum version for sale. $100 as is local pick up. Has to be used with a 2.4ghz based radio like Spektrum or Futaba Fast. Wires might be short for some. But easily replaced. Also fan works. But one blade is broken (but still has 10 others hehe). Does not interfere with operation or cooling. Even have the original box it comes in with instructions.

Also selling my Tamiya TRF415MRE for $200. No spare parts. Comes with spool and front diff. And unpainted Mazda6 body from the kit.

Congrats To All The Winners Yesterday! I Had A Blast For My First Race In A Losi! Catch Ya'll This Weekend!

[sewell27]

hey i wanted to know if you guys did any offroad racing. i have a traxxas nirto sport. if you could let me know that would be very helpful. i've been running it on the streets and it is wearing my tires out. thanks

[SerpentKing101]

well...its not a React, but its a spectrum. Maybe this will play nice with the LRP. Should be running Sunday assuming the guy is any good at shipping.

[JimmyMac]

Well I'll be out there this Sunday. I don't have to work. Suppose to be nice weather.

Anyone still looking for a brushless esc? I still have my Novak GTB SS for sale. Plus my M11 radio with Spektrum Pro. And also my Tamiya TRF415MRE. Let me know, I can bring them.

Catch yall soon.

[Whiskey 1]

Hey Sewell27, Check out Crossroads Racing, on the NC Racers forum, It's where we go to race offroad.

[m3ndo5a]

Anyone want to race 19turn.....

[fmrc]

uuhhh well I dont know I would prefer to have 1 big class but would be willing to run it a s 2nd class sure

[JimmyMac]

Terrell, I thought you were gonna run 23t against our 13.5 BL?

[m3ndo5a]

I have not gotten a 23turn yet.....I am not sure to go with Team Orion, Hybrid or Kyosho. By Roar rules 13.5 is now in 19turn territory..........I have to get ready for TCS 19turn and work backwards from there, more so Controlling the torque. I put the TRF416 Special together.......I have a couple of speed secrets to add and my Standard set up. I may race it Sunday. I am trying to keep the Ray off of Tarmac but it so darn pretty and easy to work on

I guess everyone is racing 19t if they are running 13.5????

13.5Bl is DEAD for competition purpose, its the new 21t spec motor.

Who is running stock 27t or 17.5????

It would be nice to get 3 qualifiers in.......

Jimmy you can pick my power plant.


Anyone look to upgrade.....

Roller: TCS EVo5 for $200
Radio: Ko Propo C2 Limited $325

[JimmyMac]

Actually 13.5 is the new SuperStock for 2009 and 19t will be dead. Or you can run it in mod class. But for 2008 the 13.5, 10.5, and 19t will be SuperStock. 17.5/27t is Stock. Of course Fayetteville is just a club. So they run by whatever the club wants. I'm up for anything. If you want to run 19t this weekend, I'll toss in my 10.5. Just let me know.

[m3ndo5a]

Bring your 10.5...... As long as there is a K.Dragon it will never die.......I will start running modified this summer......4.5 maybe.

But I will run what everyone else has..........

[JimmyMac]

I'm gonna run Pro10 whenever or where ever I can.

[m3ndo5a]

I will have my 19t in at the track....I will bring a C2Pro 19t if anyone else would like to run.......


Anyone wanting to run 19t I will have a motor someone can use......Note your Car must be set up with no tweak.........The torque is unforgiving.

[fmrc]

we found out that a spec motor 21t is aboput the same as 13.5 and thats what we are going to allow in our "stock" class

[m3ndo5a]

Its not the same, because of the Timing......It will be much slower, its compared to a BLACK Can with alot more torque. Unless its 20 turn(once known as 21turns) Stinger......They are like Johnson can but with alot of time....they are pretty quick...but not enough to run with a 13.5..or not enough torque to pull out of corners.

A 23turn Pro would be about the same as a 13.5 because of the increase timing.

If there was a spec class yeah 21t would be the motor to run.....but tires, battery, gearing and bodies should be the same..........SPEC.

[JimmyMac]

Do you know what 21t spec motor he's talking about Terrell? Just curious. I know Prince/Roche is selling a 11.5/23t equivalent motor.

[fmrc]

the trinity spec motor is what was run last Sunday and it was verry comparable to the 13.5 when it is geared right

[m3ndo5a]

Trinity Spec....from the T Spec cars..........Its actually a 19t motor with adjustable timing, for the wire is wrapped around the shaft 19 times......So it good to hear a 19t motor is getting out performed by a 13.5BL...........I would like to test that theory with the K Dragon or C2......maybe that 13.5 is stronger than I thought?????

http://www.teamtrinity.com/shop/item.asp?item=SS2226

[SerpentKing101]

If someone's up for it, they can run my Integy KOS. Its a 27T, but feels just as fast (to me) as my LRP 13.5. Just would like to see how it compares to all these motors listed above.

Not Roar-legal, apparently (didnt see it listed), but then again its no worse than these 19-turns in a stock class.

[dawg29]

So What's The Deal, Ya'll Gonna Run 19 Turn With 13.5?. Chris If You Were Talking About The Motor Ernie Was Running Sunday, It Was Leaving My 13.5.

[fmrc]

the spec motor that is run in ledends is a 21 turn thats what ernie ran in the quallifiers till he tried to turn it and tore the com donnie he ran a 19t in the main since thats all he had with him so the ledgends motor is about the same as a 13.5 from what we tested 19t is way faster than a 13.5 at least a hand wound adjustable timeing one is sety at about 25 deg so one at about 10 deg might be about the same

[fmrc]

here is the arm I am talking about its a 21t arm

http://www.teamtrinity.com/shop/item.asp?item=SS2244

[m3ndo5a]

I thought someone said bring a 19t to run against the 13.5bl a few week ago......lol

Its good to know Ernie has a 19t....Bring it!

So I can count

Jimmy
Myself
Maybe Ernie

"Will" are you going to run a 19t or 10.5

I have a motor you can use.....you can use you GTB ESC if you do not have a Competition ESC'er

Stock 27t
Pro Stock 13.5
Super Stock 19t

Jimmy I got the Bling.....3racing
I will be racing a fun body.....

[fmrc]

I might run 19t too

ernie said he wont run 19t

[JimmyMac]

I have my 3racing caster blocks in. I will install them tonight after I get home from work.

[m3ndo5a]

Jimmy does your MRE still have Tronics on it???? Bring both Kits.....

[JimmyMac]

My MRE is for sale and I will not race it anymore. I'm rebuilding the whole car. So I can't bring it. Only 1 touring car for me from here out. That's the 416. I need to stick with one car if I'm to do decent at the Nats in June. SuperStock for me. Catch yall tomorrow. Looks to be an awesome day.

[m3ndo5a]

SuperStock it is!

[SerpentKing101]

Will, if you want to run the new bodies, I'd suggest getting some nuts and bolts for the wing. Im out of them.

[fmrc]

John did your radio come in? hope to see you racing tomarrow

[SerpentKing101]

It came a couple days ago. We'll see how it works in a few hours, eh?

Anyone else looking for a new lid? I'm going to order a few and see how that goes.

[fmrc]

John I will talk to you today about the body thing

[bigwill]

hey guys,had fun today sorry about the getting mad part....but i will be ready next sunday......

[dawg29]

Hey Ya'll, Had A Blast Today! I Apologize For The Little Drivers Meeting Topic. All I Wanted To Know Was What The Deal Was. Couple Of Weeks Back I Was Forced To Take My 19t Out. Fortunately Mr. Tommy Let Me Borrow A Motor. Preparing For This Race I Was Told 19t Would Be In A Another Class So I Stayed With The Majority An Ran 13.5. That's All I Said For Those That Thought I Was Crying. But Hey I'm Just Out There For Fun An I Had Plenty Of It Today. But Before I Pay My Money To Race, I Want To Know What's Going On! THAT' ALL. An Chris, Here's How You Spell My Name, Donnie Oxendine. Ya'll Have A Good Week An See Ya'll Next Weekend!

[JimmyMac]

No problem Donnie. I understand where you are coming from. I apologize too. I thought we would be run in a separate class. But I guess not. I did put in my 13.5 for the main. I have decided to only run 13.5 in Fayetteville. This way there will be NO confusion as to what I will be running in my car. Perhaps we need a drivers meeting before the racing starts like the track used to do.

Good run Will. Sorry your car broke in the main. Would have been a good run if it hadn't. I will bring the M11 with Spektrum Pro with me next weekend.

One suggestion if the sun bothers everyone on the drivers stand. A simple solution would be to just move the drivers stand to the opposite side of the track. This way the sun is never in our eyes. Oh, another suggestion. To help those who broke their cars on the sharp corners. Instead of using PVC elbows for the corners, you could heat up a section of long PVC pipe and bend a very nice long 90° curve. You could use a portable oven/heater coil thingy... haha. Or a propane torch. I didn't break anything today (although I did an awesome cartwheel past the front straight and into the grass haha). But I saw a few that did. This should also help in cutting down on the broken PVC piping. I know Ernie went out a few times during the racing hooking and drilling the corners back together. He almost lost a few fingers doin it.. :D

Anyways, had fun. I figured out a few more things on the 416. Hopefully Terrell will bring out that XRay next weekend and school us all. :D I wanna compare the performance.

Catch yall soon.

[comeinup]

hey whats up every one.i had a blast today.my best race yet.yay.hopefuly i can get my bro back running for next weekend. i cant wait.im gonna make it in the a main soon.lol

[SerpentKing101]

Im happy with my 4th. havent been in the A in a while...

Next time, I'll have some brakes and decent gearing (5.14 = waaay too much)

[JimmyMac]

Oh yeah, I just sold the GTB SS esc yesterday just in case anyone was wondering.

[m3ndo5a]

Once again I apologize for any confusion on the Super Stock motor.......It was to not used for cheating or trickery purpose.....Yet for testing and what we thought was going to be a Superstock class.......

My car was not looked over good for a Super Stock motor in the First place...

Unglued tires.......Note for anyone...always check your side wall tire to make sure they have not come unglued...this will make you car very loose coming out of coners or under heavy acceleration...... Make sure all screws are nice and tight.....never use a homemade spool with high torque motors and Check over all radio setting(servo mostly).

I may not need to bring out the 008.......I think with the corrections that I made.....The car will be totally different....But I am tempted to run the 008 for I will getting the Upgrade part.....making it even better yet. Great for MOD!

I have some Kits for sale if anyone is look to have a Second car for race a different Class

AKA the MEDUSA My07.....I have parts for it and I uses Tamiya or HPI parts.....its a very fast acceleration Kit and super fast corner speed....Super Light Chassis......so weights are needed...unless you are running MOD.

AKA Tamiya EVO 5...............Shaft......great scot man, you have seen it in action.......

I have some more battery pack for sale.....

[Whiskey 1]

Hey Tommy, I took my old spool out and replaced it with a new one, it's still good if you want to run it. Also If any of the out of town racers can pick up a couple of sets of Mini Cooper 60D type A slicks and bring them to town, I know we need them here and I'm willing to buy 2 pairs. (4 ea.) I think William needs some too. Thanks.

[tbsr2139]

Thanks Manny I might try it this weekend. I am going to order some parts today so I can replace that hub and have some spares of my own.

[SerpentKing101]

Chris, did you get that body and/or find out about the other one?

[JimmyMac]

Manny, I'll bring your tires tomorrow.

Will, I'll bring the radio for you to check out.

Catch yall there.

[SerpentKing101]

Try sticking them on photobucket. They'll give you a free gig worth of storage space.

Thanks for all the good feedback on the pics, I'll try to take them more often at the race so we can have some posted here on the board. I'll give photobucket a shot when I go to upload some more, thanks. I definitely plan on being there Sunday unless something comes up.

[dawg29]

Hey Ya'll, Had A Blast Today! Seems Like Everybody Had A Good Run Or A Good Time. That's Why I Keep Coming Back. Hope Ya'll Have A Good Week An Catch Ya'll The Next Meet. Sweet Pics Shannon! OH YEAH I ALMOST FORGOT, FOR THOSE I BANGED UP ON PRETTY HARD TODAY, I APOLOGISE! I WILL HAVE A BETTER CAR NEXT TIME , I HOPE.

[Whiskey 1]

Tommy, I know I have a front endbell with a bearing in it. Do you need it?

[Whiskey 1]

Hey John, If you get done with the flag work on the mini body before the weekend, let me know. I might be able to pick it up on my way to work. I work at Mackall Army Airfield and can pass thru Raeford to get it. Thanks again.

[SerpentKing101]

No problem. I'll let you know when its done.

[comeinup]

really nice pics .looks cool

[Whiskey 1]

Tommy, I found that endbell, It was for my 13.5 with the non-sintered rotor.
I can lend you a 13.5 motor this weekend if you need it. Call me if you have any questions. Manuel 910-578-3328.

[tbsr2139]

Thanks Manny, Hopefully Hayes will get my bearing in and all my parts I ordered.

[SerpentKing101]

Manny, your body is done. Let me know when or if youre coming by.

[Whiskey 1]

John, I'll pick it up Sunday, thanks again.

[Whiskey 1]

Tommy, they discontinued the steel battery tray and I cant find one anywhere.

[dawg29]

Hey Ya'll, What Is Ya'll's Plans For The Weekend? Anybody Heard The Weather Report?

[tbsr2139]

I know Manny I talked to Alan. I would try ebay... I did pick up some spare parts today, but no wheel bearings.

[SerpentKing101]

Hey Ya'll, What Is Ya'll's Plans For The Weekend? Anybody Heard The Weather Report?

Partly cloudy with a high of 65?

Yeah man, we gotta be careful.

[dawg29]

Hey Sk, That Sounds Good. Sounds Like Will Be Racing. Huh!

[Whiskey 1]

Tommy, I'll bring the spare motor. What was the wheel bearing for? I have spares for the TC5

[Whiskey 1]

Hey John, will you be going to the dirt track Saturday? Call me 578-3328. Will anybody else be practacing Saturday, if so what time?

[SerpentKing101]

Might as well. I'm guessing you want to get the body then.

[Whiskey 1]

Yes please. About what time are you going? Don't make a special trip though. I can wait till Sunday.

[SerpentKing101]

No special trips, huh? See you Sunday.

Chris, do you have any odd-ball RP-36s? I need one.

[JimmyMac]

Hey Chris or someone... Add me to the sign up for Sunday. I'm gonna try and make it out there. But more than likely I won't be there till like 12:30 or a little later. I get out of work at 7am and I'm gonna try and take a quick nap. Then head over there. I need my racing fix since I didn't get to run the main last week!! haha. :D Thanks....

[fmrc]

no problem Jimmy

John I think so you would have to come over and take a look

[mydartswinger]

Sorry guys, I won't be there today. My wife is still sick. Maybe next week

[bigwill]

hey guys, had a blast today had fun racing with you jimmy see you sunday..

[m3ndo5a]

Guys indoor race Saturday Rosewood......keep your set up the same. Carpet with rubber or foam.......there maybe a big crowd so come early. The track layout up will be simple, big gears is a must.....Go with the lowest rubber tire you can find......and soak them early.

Nice work Will......I decided to do some testing at home today......and it was worth it....I got to learn my kits a little more better. This was the first time I drove the Ray without interuption of performance......this kit is so sweet. Got the TRF416 bugs worked out......... Jimmy is trying to get some of his team mates out there........So polish your skillz.

[m3ndo5a]

Okay TC5 racers, here is that battery lipo tray/holder I said I would link up for you guys... http://www.diggitydesigns.com/

And here is that link to the stainless steel lipo plate I have on my car. Made for TC5. But fits many other cars as well. I slightly modded it to fit my 416 as yall have seen yesterday. http://www.ppdbillet.com/RC_accessories.html

Also, they can work together as one unit! They are working on this project together even further for the TC5.

[JimmyMac]

Well just letting ya know that I won't be racing at Rosewood on Saturday. Instead, I will show up at the offroad track to check things out. What time do you start?
