Fayetteville Nc Parking Lot Racing

[nomac]

OOOOOH SNAP!!!!! :eek: You got....Tha "TANK"! LOL!!!! wish i still had mine.

[SerpentKing101]

I'm bringing it out on sunday if you want to see it. I wont be running it though.

[nomac]

sunday as in durham or fayetteville? would be nice to see one again.....would be even nicer if you'd swap top-shafts with me. LOL!!! i have a T1R at the moment. i need to get more regular cells so i can run the car some. Li-po's aren't welcome at any TC track in north carolina......... yet. :(

[SerpentKing101]

sunday as in fayetteville.

heh, Id trade that top shaft if youd trade the c-hub suspension for my pillow balls... :)

and if youre coming out, you can use the saddle packs I have as extras. but i dont think anyone out here would be crying too much if you used those lipo's.

[fmrc]

Chris

George and I have to teach him to slow up so we can have some fun close racing for everyone to watch. But the kid just wants to win.. and he did.. hehe....

Chris... I thought your car smoking was cool!!!! But sorry that it was at your expense!! :D Remember.. start around 7.0 final.... not 9.... You are over rev'n the motor during the whole run.

[fmrc]

weather looks great for this Sunday I can't wait (if I have a car by then that is) I mihgt run RWB with my truck dunno yet

Chris

[SerpentKing101]

whats up with the rdx and that tc3?

[Squintz]

He's scared to scratch up the RDX in the parking lot. Plus he doesnt know how to put it together.
He sold the TC3 for beer money. :D

[SerpentKing101]

if anyone can get up with that guy selling those 5 dollar bodies, lmk. I kind of feel like painting again. might be able to get my mom to paint one, too.

[Squintz]

That was Mike Cummins. Those were 200mm bodies BTW.

Brad

[SGTBailey76]

I have an old XXX-S that I was going to try and breathe some life into. Can this car be competitive on asphalt. I have only ever driven it on carpet, and that was a couple of years back. I hate to buy something carbon fiber, and then just tear it up on an outdoor track. Also are you guys running stock in touring car, 19T, or what?

[Squintz]

You should be okay with the xxxs out in the lot. I won't buy an expensive car to run out there. Most of us run Stock motors 1 or 2 guys run a Novak 4300. Bring a 19turn tho if we have enough interrest Im sure we could make a class. I know I wouldn't mind throwing in a 19T :).

Brad

[fmrc]

I ran a xxx-s last week and ended up 3rd with a burnt up motor we are running stock and the tires of choice seem to be either rp 36 or sorex 36 some are using others but thats what I foundthat works good and rp 40s if its hot enough if you need anymore help you can call me at 910-916-6584 and I will help out the best I can

Chris

[SGTBailey76]

Is there a decent hobby shop in Fayetteville? Do we have to mail order everything? I have not been to Bragg before, so I don't know what the local scene is like. Can we get tires, motors, and spare parts in town?

[slakr]

Hayes Hobby House in Fayetteville
http://www.hayeshobby.com/

[fmrc]

Hayes is a really good shop they have just about everything you need and if they dont have they will have it in just a few days aslomost peole are runnig either the co27 motor or the monster with a starting geat around a 7.3 or so

where did you race at before? we have a good time with the club I think you will enjoy it hope so at least hope to see you Sunday

Chris

[SGTBailey76]

I am originally from Seattle, and did a lot of racing there, but I also spent about 6 years in Germany. I used to race against Marc Rheinhard when he was just a little kid. He was disgustingly good then too. His father used to run the premier RC facility in our region of Germany. It had indoor and outdoor asphalt. That was several years ago though. I have mainly been running off-road for the last couple of years.

I will definately come out and run with you guys once I get to Bragg. I should be there in about 6 weeks. I am currently in Kuwait. I leave here in 26 days. I look forward to running with ya'll.

[fmrc]

cool man keep your head down over there i spent 17 months over there and dont want to go back well we will be looking forward to seeing you

[nomac]

think i'm looking too hard but...i can't find an address so i can mapquest directions. can someone help please?

[fmrc]

map quest 5701 yadkin rd fayetteville 28314 thats in the same center we race at

[nomac]

thank you...what time will the track go up? got my 4 cell paks charging right now.

[Squintz]

Get there around 2 or so.

4s or 2s2p?;)

[fmrc]

I will bring my 12th scale today too maybe we will run it as a class

Chris

[nomac]

had fun today cuz!!!! thanks for the invite! i plan to give you a run for your money next time!! tell everyone i 'preeshate all their help. don't know names yet but i soon will. and a special thanks to Ms. Tasha and her dad. that secret super duty tire componud did the trick!!!
hey chris....if you're serious about what you said earlier then it's on!!! i'll be ready with BOTH cars. don't wanna seem like a mooch ya know. and get some more of your hommies down for some 12th! those things were a handfull all day. (these are "A real man's car"..LOL) as you can see from my performance today my road skills are far from stellar. welp...lemme head out and hunt down some tires. some say TRC's are no match for Jaco's. after today....i very much agree with that.

[Squintz]

Good meetin you today Nomac, If I was hangin out I would definatelty get into the 12th scale action with yall. Looked like a blast. I drove Chris's car and it was definately a handfull.

Didn't have a huge turnout today but we definately had some great racing. It was a good last FMRC race for me. I hope I find a good group of folks like yall to race with where I am headed!!!

Brad

[Da Skills]

Hey Pete good seeing you again. It reminded me of the old days. It was a low turnout but still had fun. Great win Brad, I hope that everything works out for you. It was good to know you. Chris, I will be working on the 1/12 this week, I hope that it's up to par. Anyways, my vacations over and it's back to work. :-( Later.

Derrick

[nomac]

had a ball too derrick, now get that 12th scale running! if we get a definate 5 or 6 then i'll run the 12L4 again this week, but if not i'll run TC. trust...you got NOTHING to worry about...i suck in stock TC!!! specially on rubber tires!!! my car is pretty basic too, just a T1r from xray. nothing special. but from what i hear, they can take a hit no prob. (right up my alley!!!). i got no touring races under my belt for this season so i'm sure to be VERY rusty :D

[Da Skills]

Yeah I'm working on it now. I just have to put the electronics in it. We were thinking about running 19 turn motors, but we will see what everyone wants to run. You won't be the only one running a T1r if Serpentking run his this weekend. Sepentking did you get that servo yet? I'm looking forward to runnning 1/12 this weekend. Later.

D.

[JimmyMac]

What are yall running for 12th scale? Just curious. Stock or 19t or mod? I still have a car (in pieces), but I wouldn't mind putting it back together again sometime soon.

[nomac]

i vote anything! but whatever you do to get the power down, you gotta share with the rest of us! LOL

[nomac]

BTW...where in world (wide net) can i find a site with paved 12th scale set-ups on it? i'm at a loss for tire selection.

[fmrc]

I want to run 19 turn

[Squintz]

Hey Chris you still wanna hit the dirt on Wed? The Kyosho is rarein to go!

Brad

[Da Skills]

what's the rollout on an 12L?

[nomac]

uhhhhhhhh run em til they're rims?

[E-LST]

Hey Brad, if I don't see ya before you leave, it was good meeting youand racing with you. I hope you go easy on the people out in Wa.

[Squintz]

You too Bob! I'll see ya at the shop around lunchtime as usuall Im sure.
I have alot to learn thats for sure. Yall gave me a good start so I don't look like a total Jackazz when I get up there:) Looks like rubber tires on carpet for the stock n 19t touring car classes. Time to start all over again.

Brad

[JimmyMac]

Pete... look at the AE website for setups on the 12th scale. I thought the tires to run were uhh... Purple front and Pink Rear. Rollout depends on motor....... Anyways, I thought the 12th scale cars would be listed under " run what ya brung" class? Hmmm... Hmmmmmm

[SerpentKing101]

phht, yet another XRAY...I might have to find another brand now...havent seen to many yokomo's locally, hmm...
--

If all goes well, Fred will be buying my T1 next week.(its not a T1R, btw. they have a plastic chassis and c-hub suspension, mines carbon-fiber with pillow-balls) and I'll have enough to buy another servo saver. Yes, Im that broke right now; too poor to pick up a tiny 6-dollar piece of plastic from Hayes.

I'll be racing the 23rd, I think, but not too sure how often after that.

Hey John, all you have to do is ask, I have a saver in the trailer that is in the bag. you can have it. When you start looking for a new tc, do like I did, buy something that is out of production, and have to shop ebay for spares, hahahahaha, see ya at the track

[Squintz]

Where are you headed? Washington State? If so where?

Ft Lewis, I've been here at Bragg for almost 6 years. Probably be living in Olympia.

Brad

[fmrc]

D Are You Goingtodoyour Roll-out In Mm Or Inches Lmk And I Will Tell You What I Had On The Car Sunday Witch Should Be Close

[nomac]

chris...lookin kinda bleak for this week-end dude! it was the speedo that caused the dump. i think the switch wire may have contacted something and hurt a/some FETs. not having any brakes should have told me something but.........
besides, brandon's planning on running mod in durham, if they let me run i CAN't pass that up!!! :D

[fmrc]

ok dude if you need a speedo I have some older ones you can put in to run LMK

Hey man ya screwed up. For the 1/12th scale it should say Chris (I can't Spell) Crouder.

Who the hell is Brad Balkenship anyway? :p

[Da Skills]

Hey Chris,I found a rollout chart for the 12th scale. I kind of have an idea what to run for stock, but for 19 turn I may have to change it some.

[SerpentKing101]

http://www.radiocontrolzone.com/cars/calculator.asp

the internet says a 1-1.3 rollout is good. And Bob, heh, I just did that. the only place that stocks XRAY parts in the state is out in Charlotte. I wouldnt have much of a choice to do anything besides shop ebay if something broke.

pots calling the kettle black when it comes to literacy, it seems...

[SGTBailey76]

Ft Lewis, I've been here at Bragg for almost 6 years. Probably be living in Olympia.

Brad

On-road is pretty scarce in the south end. There is some parking lot racing at Fantasy World which is about 15 mins from base. There is a great indoor offroad track about 15 mins from base. Tacoma RC Raceway. They have a good thread on RCtech.net. Indoor on-road is either carpet at rain city which is way up north, at least 1.5 hours to drive, or you can run indoor asphalt at SIR. It is located in North Kent (45 mins). They also have a good thread on RC Tech. I drove up to rain city a few times, but the traffic in Seattle is so horrible, that you won't want to do it very often. I suggest you buy an off-road and start running at TRCR. It is the best thing for weeknight racing near Ft. Lewis. SIR is a fairly new facility, but I have heard nothing but rave reviews about it. They say it is world class, but I have never personally seen it.

You will love Lewis by the way. It is a great base. Where are you headed? Stryker Brigade?

[Squintz]

Thanks for the info man:) Been doin a little research already and found all the tracks you told me about. I have a 2wd and 4wd buggy already so I am set for the offroad stuff;) I am headed to 1st SFG. Good luck to you, I know you will be happy to get home!

Brad

[SGTBailey76]

Good luck to you too. The guys at TRCR are a good group. There are several world class drivers there. The owner Scott Brown has been in the A main at a couple of world championships. He doesn't race much at TRCR, but when he does, it is a sight to see. The other really fast guy is Chris Bridgewater. He goes by teambighead on the RCTech boards. he works at the track and is also very fast. He is sponsored by Team Losi and Orion last time I talked to him. Scott has been an Associated team driver for years, so you can always get good set-up info from either. TRCR also has really good prices in their hobby shop. I never mail ordered anything while I was at Lewis. Enjoy the Northwest.

[Da Skills]

Hey Chris the 1/12 scale is ready to go. I just need a motor and a pack. I think this is going to be a fun class. Maybe we will strike up more interest with the other racers and get a nice class going.

D.

[fmrc]

HEY DUDE i WAS LOOKING AROUND AND FOUND SOME CELLS YOU CAN HAVE THERE 3300'S I FOUND 4 OF THEM REAL CLOSE NUMBERS TOO

[Da Skills]

Alright, I need to pick them up from you.

[E-LST]

Look out now guys, I found Hara's setup sheet for a pro3. Now i can be totally out of control. hahahahaha. now if icould just decipher the notes........

[nomac]

i used that set-up at the 2003 nats in durham. (all i could get out it at least.LOL) in qual 4 i was ahead of david jun (of tamiya) until my wheel fell off! HAHA!!!!!!
trade ya an xray for it..HAHAHA!!!- HAHAHA_HAHA! (trying to do that Mandark laugh) :p

[fmrc]

d how did the bats work out? and bob with a set-up man I have been trying to misinform him for months now my plan is ruined HAHAHA oh well see you all tomarrow

[Da Skills]

Hey Chris, I have started charging them, but for some reason the charger wanted to get hot. So I discharged them and I'm going to try to charge them later. I think somethings up with that motor, it doesn't want to spin.

[E-LST]

Hmmmm, one of Chris's motors being hard to turn,,,,,,,,,,how many did he smoke a couple of weeks ago??? 2,, 3 ? hahahahajust grab the shaft with a pair of pliers and TWIST!!!!!!! hahaha or maybe hook it up to your Subaru battery,, that'll make it spin or leak smoke,,,,,,,,,;o)

[fmrc]

like I said that was stuff I found cleaning out a box I will have bats and motors tomarrow for you

[fmrc]

wow looked at the weather looks like 101 temps and sunny hope you have a fan

[SerpentKing101]

or just bum off someone elses as usual. :D
--

might or might not race tomorrow (most likely I will), but I really need to get these batts cycled a few times. Might miss a qualifier doing so.

[Da Skills]

Haha Bob, and for your info, I haven't smoked any motors out there. :)

[E-LST]

I was referring to Chris,,, D. I know you haven't smoked any.

[E-LST]

What? nobody on here to trash talk? or post results? how about somebody cobfess to putting a target on my car...oh well,,, see ya

[SerpentKing101]

yeah, im still in the parking lot. my head doesnt fit in the camaro. :D thanks again for that servo saver, I wouldnt have run without it.

--

my hands were shaking during the main, so sorry to whoever I ran over during the race. I know there was at least 2...

[Da Skills]

Hey Bob, I knew something was going on with you but I didn't know what it was about until later. I was in my zone so I didn't see much. I had fun, but I have to put in some work on the 1/12. That's a hard car to drive fast, I have to find a setup. Off to surf, later.

D.

[E-LST]

Congrats again, John. You had that E-maxx rolling, I was impressed, maybe I'll bring the Lst out and try to keep up with you, and show the nitro boys where it's at.....hahahahahahaha Have you made it home yet?

[SerpentKing101]

yeah, im back now, good thing we have that trailblazer. :D

I'm not trying to start any bragging wars or whatever, I just like reading this kind of thing. Brand names are in the order of most popular for the curious. And only the mains were counted.

I only wanted to use the times for the current track layout, but theres still a few qwirks in it, I think (mainly in the nitro tc class)

[Da Skills]

Hey SerpentKing, I like what you did. It Let's everyone know where they stand with the current layout. There are some close times, I see that I have to pickup my pace to beat what I have already done.

[E-LST]

Ditto for me , John. Good job, now if we would tell chris what we are running when we sign in, we would know who's doing what with which. eh, am I confused ????? Later

[SerpentKing101]

I pitched that idea to him a while back, but we all know how well that went...I edit the last post and added what I knew though.

I hope that if we start doing it, some of the guys that came just once come back so we can fill in some more blanks.

[E-LST]

And a fine job you've done,

[JimmyMac]

Question for ya. Is this the best run main? Just curious because I know Justin got 25 laps in a qualifier. But not the main like I have done. Also, his car is a Schuey MI2EC.

And also, I think that was a cool idea too. Maybe I can ask our track to post one up as well.

i made a .rtf out of it just in case anyone want to download it (or print or whatever).

[nomac]

hey chris...i run a 12L4 w/ a custom diamond-plate cassis. HAHA!! have anymore of the fayetteville crowd got their 12's put together? i would love to come back down there this sunday for some "OPEN" action. so far i know there's three. :D

[fmrc]

I wont be there but I think Herb will have his and derick too so thats 3 then when I get back into town we will have a decent little class

[E-LST]

I needed a diamond plate body last week. hahahaha......I'm going to let Tasha drive my tc in rwyb. and I'm probably going to run the LST, see if i can keep up with John.

[nomac]

don't sweat it chris. i still only have one speedo...and it's already in the xray. maybe i can auction off the xray to fix my 12L. LOL!!! but i DO plan on makin it this week. gonna do the run batt thing in TC like you did in 12th scale. (let's just see how many times i dump!!LOL)

[fmrc]

cool man bring both I will give herb a speedo for you to barrow it will be in the box with the track papers LRP IPC (but I will need it back its my spare)

[SpaceCowboy]

Good run in the Nitro Touring Car Chris. You need to bring that up to Durham sometime and try your luck. Sorry I couldn't make it to Ezzie's tonight. My once a month meeting night. Hope to see you and Mellissa Saturday night.

Hmmm, maybe I could try running my little M18 in the rwyb class. Byron knows how that little bugger can go,,,,

[justin lessard]

umm...I ran 25 laps...not 23

[JimmyMac]

You ran 25 in the qualifier. But I don't think you did in the main. These results are main results.

[tarheelquality]

LOL, how does a t3 outrun 2 10l3s? Looks like a good time down in Fayetville.

[E-LST]

Tasha Chavis driving one of the 10L3's is just 6 years old, my daughter. ;o))

[Da Skills]

Hey Bob, are you going to run your touring car or are you running the truck? I ran into a few guys from Sanford. One of them just moved from Boone and he use to run the program up there. I invited them to come race with us, so hopefully we will have a few new faces out there this weekend.

[E-LST]

I don't know D, I want to try out some changes I made to it, so we'll see how that goes before I make a final decision. I really like driving it, so I hope last weekend was just a freak day...lol

[Da Skills]

I know all about those days Bob, when nothings seems to go right during a race. I shook it off last weekend to pull out a win. Well today's a new day, things may be better for you. I'll see you in a little while. later.

D.

[m3ndo5a]

I am selling a Tamiya 415MSX and a PRO4 05 edition (only sold in Japan).

Let me know if you are interested.

[Ron Zee]

I still want to come there but I need a ride!! (Jimmy!!)

[E-LST]

good racing Sunday, even though that pipe took out my right front suspension. LOL I think I should have given it a bit more room. I really wanted more than just John and me in the main of M/T those sillt nitro trucks wouldn't start,,,, maybe they should have gone across the street to Advance Auto,,, hahahahahahaha Later

[Da Skills]

yeah, it was a good race day. And a win for the tc-3 as it is now going into retirement. The Yokomo is almost ready to go, I'm going to do a few test runs during the week. Bob your car was setup pretty well, you just had a bad break. I was shocked to see that there were no gas mt in their main. What's up with that? Later.

D.

[JimmyMac]

Take care of my baby!! :D

[Da Skills]

:D No problem It's in good hands.

[SerpentKing101]

I was shocked to see that there were no gas mt in their main. What's up with that?

Nitro, phht. You see how long I had my T-Maxx...
--

Well, my last race for a while didnt go as I hoped. I'll be back though, maybe they'll be some cool new rc tech by then.

[E-LST]

yeah, D, it was working pretty good, I have been sneaking up on a setup that will work with way I sling it aroud,,,,maybe I should try to find some driving finesse on ebay,,,,,,wonder how much a can would be.....hahahahahaha.......Now we have to try and catch that yok of yours,,,later

[Da Skills]

Hey Bob, you still have that offroad driving style. These car require a little more finesse to get around the track fast. Yes the yoke is ready to go. I know that everyones gunning for me this weekend. I've come in first the last 2 weeks. I'm ready to see what I can do with the new car. it is soooooooooooo smooth. :-) Later.

[mdewitt71]

I use to be stationed at Bragg in the early 90's....wish I would of known people that raced R/Cs then.

[E-LST]

You're right about that, i have been trying to lose my death grip on the steering. I'm getting there, Anybody heard from Brad ??

[E-LST]

Ahh, yes, the early 90's, Clinton, Aberdeen, Darlington. Wish I had a nickel for every mile I drove the 3 and 4 nights a week back then. I wouldn't have to work so hard now,,,hahahahaha

[mdewitt71]

ha ha ha....I was a single Paratrooper back then shacking up in Aberdeen, I remember the daily drive well ;)

[E-LST]

Hey D, I'm ready for that yok,,, the pro3 is mobile again,, and still balances out, thank goodness for plastic arms. I have been working on Tasha's car, there was some damage that really affected the drivability that I hadn't found before. so it's ready to roll again..

[Da Skills]

Yeah, I just mounted the body that I had painted. It looks good. I'm not sure if I want to run it. I think that I will just take a few pictures just so I will have what it looked like before it was raced.

Hey Tommy, have you got your car fixed. I know that you took a hard hit and bent a few things. And I like your name, now that's creative. :D Later.

D.

[tbsr2139]

Hello D thought you might like that name, but this is the one i'll be using.
Yeah I got everything fixed ( I hope ) and even put some new tires on it.

[E-LST]

Hey Tommy, make sure you check with Ernie before you run it for any set up tips,,,,hahahahaha,,,,,Anybody know how hot it's supposed to be Sunday? I've heard anywhere from 88 to 95,,,, go figure

[tbsr2139]

hey bob Yeah ernie helped me mount my tires (LOL).

[Da Skills]

Welcome Tommy, it's about time you posted.

[tbsr2139]

thanks for the welcome

[tbsr2139]

Is the yoko ready? Just put a refreshed motor in mine.

[Da Skills]

Well time to get off of this computer. I hope that the r---n finishes up before sunday. I'm ready to race. Later.

D.

[E-LST]

Hmmmm,,,,, D has a new ride,,,, Tommy has new tires and a "refreshed" motor,,,, I think I should bring my A, B and C games,,,,,,,hahahahaha I may be a bit late tomorrow, The A/C man is supposed to come get me cooling again, it's been just a bit warm without it..Later

[Ron Zee]

Hmmm, I got me a nice new used E-Maxx the other day. Got it ready to go.. Maybe I should try it in the rwyb class. The or maybe my M-18 if I can get a receiver in it soon,,,
Jimmmy, you coming to get me????

[Da Skills]

well it will be race time in a few hours. Yeah Bob with the hot weather that we have had these last few days, you got to make sure that the A/C works. See everyone later.

[SerpentKing101]

That e-maxx would do nicely in the monster truck class. It'll be pretty competitive when you take that front diff out and get a good charge on the batts.

and bring road rages.

[E-LST]

Hey, If Ron brings his E maxx and I run my LST and John runs his E maxx, that would be 3 that are running for the main, ,,,,, well maybe 1 nitro truck will crank this time.....hahahahahaha,,,, yeah Ron, the road coarse is just a bit tight for a big truck, not to say you couldn't, but I think it would be a pain. We run an oval with the M/Ts.

[SerpentKing101]

I wont be running this time around, but i should be out there to cheer everyone on! (watch from the driver's stand on in the car)

[Da Skills]

Good run everyone. Richard, we checked out in the main. It was my fault, I checked everything on the car but the tires nuts. and that cost me. When the wheel came off, I couldn't believe it. The Yoke ran good, it was smooth. I have to figure out how to get that on power push out. I couldn't get it to turn like I wanted it to, but once I figure it out watch out. :) Had fun anyway even though I got there late. later

D.

[E-LST]

Checked out right up to the point the wheels fell off,,,,, loose lug nuts eh? hmmmmm I'll let you have that one..... hahahahahathe "old" pro 3 was working well I ran my personal best sunday so I was happy, even finished third with more than three cars running.... maybe if I tweak it just a bit more,,,,, But, yeah good racing, hope we can continue with decent turn outs. Later bros

[nomac]

lemme get this straight.... E-LST, did you just say you lost a wheel on your pro3? just thought i'd check cause that's like...NEVER happened to me!!! LOL!!!

[E-LST]

Nope not me, Pete. It was that "rookie" yok driver D. hahahahaha I keep my wheels on. and i'm finally getting the setup tweaked on the pro 3. it's getting very drivable now.
Later,
Bob

[nomac]

sweet!!! ya, i lost a wheel at the 03 nats in durham! the spec rims had a built-in "spacer" lip that year. guess to make the cars wider. anyhoos....it was my best heat of the week-end. Jun asked what car was i running..i told him pro3. he was like "man that car runs pretty go--" PLOP!!! wheel fell off!!! LOL!

BTW....anyone looking for an entry-level TC? got an Xray T1R complete! it's got a duratrax 8T speedo, a 10x1 flatwire, G6 body, Fantom stock motor, integy 3600's, Futaba Ms radio, servo, 64p gurs & foam tyres. asking $180.

[E-LST]

I think I will wait until winter or off season to upgrade and I am looking hard at the cyclone Hara or Surikam ed's I like the belt drive and at this time parts are available thru the hobby shop. But we'll see. later, Bob

[nomac]

not a bad choice my friend!!! can't go wrong with the current world champ!!! i think THIS car will have a better "race" support for it than the Pro4. (still a good car, mind you). i accually looked at the cyclone S(?) and the T2R. but for the rug...i hope the bring out the 12L4.

[E-LST]

Hey, D. What's up? Doing some set up tweaking? I don't think you'll have to much to do before everyone is chasing you again. I mean it was your first time out with the car, and was doing quite well I thought. Later dude, Bob

[Da Skills]

Yeah, Yeah, I checked everything but the wheel nuts. But anything can happen during a race. Yes I'm doing a few setup changes to adjust to my driving style. The car was working but I needed a little more steering. I sold my Tc-3 to my friend, so everyone will see it again. :D But It won't have the chrome look. Does anybody have a cheap speeed contoller for sell? He needs one. Let me know what you got. Well let me go and take something for this cold that's try to get me. I caught it from my daughter. Later.

D.

[Ron Zee]

I got a GT-7 for like 40 bucks. Don't know how I'd get it to you though,,,

In your tracks run whatcha brung class,, would an E-Maxx be legal? I just got one and it's a blast to mess with..

[tbsr2139]

D I got a lrp f1 I dont use. I'll let it go for $25.

[fmrc]

I'm back anyone for 12th scale this week?

[nomac]

12th scale huh? Hmmmmmm. what wind motor do you wanna run this week? gotta work friday and saturday but sunday's pretty free. wont get to make my 1/8th scale debut. (hate it cause i been practicing like crazy) so i need to feed this RC bug 'O mine.

[E-LST]

Well? how was the trip across the pond? make any mains? or just wear out the car practicing? Welcome back. Later

[fmrc]

well we ran 19t last time and that was a blast bob 9th in the I main (I suck) well see you all Sunday back to yard word it went almost 2 weeks with out any attention in this heat (ouch)

[E-LST]

Ron Zee,, yeah you could run it in run whatcha brung, but the layout of the track is pretty tight for a big truck, the M/t's usually run an oval.

[SerpentKing101]

ron, if you go rwd and run 4 shocks, it would actually do decently on the track. its kind of sad my e-maxx is faster on it than my touring car was.

speaking of which, i think i have a pretty nice setup for it (another 12-cell adventure). if anyone wants to try it out, just bring your electronics.

[maggotracing]

Yall can't hide from Big Maggot,racing in some out -of-the-way parking lot!!I got me a nitro TC,AND I'll find that parking lot!!!

[fmrc]

hey hey can't wait to see you out there

[maggotracing]

How big are the jumps??loamy or hard pack???? :confused:

[E-LST]

Uhhhh,,, it's an asphalt parking lot. Hey Chris, I just scored another complete pro3 ,,at a decent price.

[fmrc]

maggot you don't need any bow-ties thats for sure I run slicks HAHAHA
wow bob haw many is that? 15? jk well I will see you all Sunday

[E-LST]

Actually Chris, it's my 3rd, 2 complete and parts car, now I can put Tasha in one and not worry about having mine destroyed,,hahahaha, hey will you have the plaques this weekend? I have a 7 yro that keeps asking about them..

[Ron Zee]

If I ever make it down there, I'll probably run my M-18 in that class anyhow. That little thing can fly even with a stock motor in it. Either that or it'll be an almost all aluminum Mini-T. Or hey, maybe even a Legends!

[maggotracing]

Asphalt :eek: ,NO jumps :eek: :eek: ,bald tires :eek: :eek: :eek: ,yall are pulling my leg,right??

[E-LST]

nope...smooth, flat, newly laid asphalt, perfect for racing, left turns, right turns, slow down, go fast. you know, racing!! hahahahha

[fmrc]

Herb hasn't given them out? I will have tyo find out whats up with them he said he would have them to give like 2 weeks ago

[Da Skills]

Welcome back Chris, I have to get some new hubs for the 1/12 scale. The tires that I got from you are offset from what's on the car. I finally got the 4 cell packs to charge. I used my Turbo 30 instead of the IQ. I have been working on my new ride, trying to get the bugs out. Later

[SerpentKing101]

Asphalt :eek: ,NO jumps :eek: :eek: ,bald tires :eek: :eek: :eek: ,yall are pulling my leg,right??

[maggotracing]

[Da Skills]

Hey looks like everyone had a good time. Well I had to do the family thing today. I was trying to figure out how to make it out there. But no go. I'm itching to run the yok with my new setup. Well, I have to wait another week. :( Hey Chris hopefully we wiil get to run the 1/12th scales also. I need to take it out and practice sometime this week. Hey Bob, you are getting consitant runs with that new setup, I've got to keep my eyes on you. :D Later.

D.

[SerpentKing101]

hey chris, If I put 12 cells on my car, think I can run it in the rwb class?

[E-LST]

hey D, we missed ya yesterday, I wanted to put a fender on that pretty paint you have...hahahahaha not really, but if I had too,,,,,,,it was a good clean race, and I only popped the pipe a couple of times, just enough for Chris to lap me hahaha anyway, looking forward to next weekend. byeeee

[Da Skills]

Yeah man I missed racing, I always look forward to sundays. Hey that's the key to a clean run, that pipe will slow you down. Later.

[E-LST]

Hey D or Chris,, Is there a differnce between RP and Sorex tires? Is one faster? Just curious.Hey D, you should have seen the LST in the main, she had 14 cells and was rollin' right up until I slung a pack out, the she quit, the nitro boys were nervous and getting passed hahahahahaha Later

[tbsr2139]

Hey bob. just bought the sorex and i love them . they work better than the driver does LOL. Where did you get that book you showed me, if you dont mind ( I need the help ). thanks
tommy

[Da Skills]

Hey Bob, I really don't know, I haven't used an RP tire yet. All I have run are Sorex's. Chris might know more about the tires, he has just tested a few tires these past few weeks. The guys on Rosewood's thread were talking about them, so look on page 54. You got those guys in the Mt. class scared, all of that horsepower they don't know what to do. :D

[Da Skills]

What's up Tommy, you have to get that car back in line. You have made to many changes on it.

[tbsr2139]

I decided to tear it down after this weekend and start with a fresh setup. It will be a few weeks putting it back together ( with new stuff ).Cant race this weekend anyhow got to go out of town. So you got carry the load D, but watch bob he's getting really fast.
Let me know if your buddy still wants that esc I'll try to meet you some where.

[Da Skills]

okay I will let you know about the esc.

[E-LST]

Tommy, you can get the xxx handling guide at Hayes, or like I did on ebay. Hayes will be quicker tho. Get a set up sheet from Assoc. for one of their drivers and then use the book to tune it to your driving style. That's what I did. So now I have a "Hara/Bob" set up. hahahaha Thanks, D. I'll look there and see what they have to say. Later

[fmrc]

I believe the sorex is a faster tire but the RP's last longer

[E-LST]

hmmmm, speed or economy,,,,,,what to do what to do????? hahahaha but then Chris did try to misguide me on a set up,,,,wonder ............LOL Has anybody heard from Brad? Paul at Hayes said he called there and finally had gotten in his quarters.

[fmrc]

Hey I didn't do such a thing HAHA I was going to call him tonight will update eveeryone

[SerpentKing101]

My first day of college starts Monday (yay) so everything I have except my nitro-bashing E-Maxx will be for sale. Just a heads up.

I'll be running this Sunday though, I have a track record to reclaim. :D

[fmrc]

bob you have any shock you want to get rid of?

[E-LST]

TC shocks? or off road? I have a set of assoc tc shocks i'd let go

[fmrc]

I will need somwthing for my new ride I will get it in like 2 weeks

[fmrc]

tc shocks that is

[E-LST]

Chris, I have them in the trailer already biult, no springs tho. I had bought them a while back thinking I might use them but I don't really have a need for them now.

[fmrc]

cool I will talk to you Sunday about them

[E-LST]

so,, is everyoneon vacation, out to lunch or what???? Maybe,,,, everyone is diligently working on their racing cars to improve the performance.... hmmmm then again, maybe they have a life....hahahahaha....oh well. Later

[maggotracing]

Hey guys,being new to this TC stuff,I've been keeping my ears open trying to pick up any tips I can.Last Sunday,I heard someone mention "SWAY-BAR"...Now is this something I need on my car or is it an adult entertainment establishment for folks that are 'swaying between gay and straight"??????? :confused: :confused: :cool:

[tbsr2139]

Hey chris got your message, im going out of town this weekend dont know if i will make it sunday. I am interested in it, so keep me in mind.

[E-LST]

SWAY BAR-- a device used to help setting up the suspension for supeior handling, When used improperly it creates one of the WORST handling tc's you ever had your hands on. LOL

[fmrc]

Tommy G the sway bar will work just like in a real car it helps take out chassis roll
Tommy B I will its here in the garage

[E-LST]

Hey D. I have been tinkering, and cleaning, and adjusting, and tweaking, so, I'll be a lot better or a lot worse,,,hahahha but it is all geared toward the problem, and I have my changes saved so I can backtrack if too much correcting.. Look out yok boy!!!!!!

[fmrc]

I will be running a barrowed car again this week a FT TC4 I want to see what it feels like see you all tomarrow

[maggotracing]

E-LST,,,fmrc............You guys have been PUNKED :p :D :p ....I know what a swaybar is :D ...........Chris ,you should know me by now!!!!I should be there tommorrow if yall feel the need to "get me back". :p :p

[Da Skills]

I'm ready to try this new setup, probably going to take a little while to get the car like I want it . The car is easy to work on so if somethings not working, I can make quick changes. Hey Chris, where's that Corally, I was looking forward to seeing it run. But don't worry, I'm going to get into that winning form. :D Later.

[fmrc]

Tommy I wasn't sure you come from that dirt stuff the type of racing that non drivers do/prefer HAHA

D I have a new car comming to run in the parking lot wait till you see it its awsome and it only cost a fraction of the price what a deal Hint its made by a compant and it has 4 wheels can you guess what it is?

[E-LST]

Duh!!! Tommy, It'll take a tad more than gay bar,, I mean sway bar question to punk me....hahahahaha

[maggotracing]

Chris,asphalt is for getting to the dirt-track....Carpet,,,,well lets just say I have had carpet burns,and there was not a race vehicle anywhere near!!!!!..............I will bring the autoscore disc,so have something to run it on...

[fmrc]

cool thanks the carpet burns. where they on your knees? HAHAHA

[Da Skills]

Let's see Chris. Costs a fraction of the price, a company makes it. It has 4 wheels. Well you did just get back from England :rolleyes: , so let me take a wild guess. I think it's a Shumacher. :)

[E-LST]

D. you will surprised. It is something that you wouldn't think of at first..... :o).. If my drive way testing indicates any thing, I think I have helped my problem, now if it'll act the same way today, you're in for run, if I stay away from the "PIPES"!!!!!! later,,

[Squintz]

Hey Guys! I'm just checkin in from the left coast. Just finished a weekend of nitro touring car racing and I am smoked. I missed hangin out with yall.

Brad

[nomac]

i'm home!!!

[SerpentKing101]

hey chris, think my 18t will work for the stadium oval class? (its willy's old 18b, but im converting it. might even go brushless since i can nearly afford it)

[Squintz]

Chris, that Electric Mod driver I was tellin ya about was Travis Schreven. He was driving a T2.

Brad

[maggotracing]

Good racing yesterday!I was really glad to see the driving was much cleaner than the week before........To all the nitro guys,I wiil be glad to help anyone that is having a problem,I have been doing this nitro thing a long time,can't say that I can figure everything out,but I do pretty well.I would much rather help someone and have good racing with them on the track,than see them have trouble!If you don't know me,just ask Chris to introduce us.Tommy aka "BigMaggot".

[E-LST]

Hey Brad,, good to hear from you, we miss you on the track. I had my car working really well, just a little on power push, so I decided to fix it. Talk about screwing up something that wasn't really broke. back to page 1. oh, well, ya never know if ya don't try. Later

[E-LST]

Good to see ya and race with you again Pete, Next time I promise the "3" will be a more civilized beast,,,,hahahaha

[fmrc]

thats what you say every week bob HAHAHA

[nomac]

hi yall! finally get to sit down for a sec. what's good?

bob...the "3" was fine. it was just MY car. to say that servo was dead is an understatement. :D but that summersault you did in the main was funny! i kept the hammer down in that corner...didn't think i'd hit ya. (sry). the ole xray surprised tha heck outta me! and to think....i got it up for sale :p . tell ms. "tosh" i'll see her again soon. this weekend's my lil girls b-day and me an mom got's some special stuff for her!!! but i should be back down the week of the 25th.

chris...thanks for the "magic" tires. i liked that compound...didn't squell very much...me like...me want some! car was a little tight but i'm sure it was the chassis. next trip down, i'll have the 12L again.i'm not tellin what motor's going in it...you'll just have to pony-up.! HAHA!!! but i GUESS i'd better some more Ni-hm, 6-cells. i threw that blue pack away. they were 3600's but they want even charge over 2100mah......DEAD!! i wont be bringing the li-po's out much. got them saved for my 1/8th scale project. so if richard has any more "gently" used IB's....have him leave some GOOD packs with you and i'll pick em up. OH, i'll also need some "F" brushes too. i'll post here when i'm good to go. thanx!

happy raci down there yall! i wont be there this week :( but you'll see me again. :p

[E-LST]

Well, Chris, I have to be a little optimistic, I mean, I don't think it could be much worse than it was Sunday, It was "ILL" handling, but I'll keep tinkering with it, maybe I'll put Tasha's body on mine and drive hers.hahahahahaha

[fmrc]

just do minor changes to the car at a time that way you don't go a huge direction one way or the other and you will be able to document the change and the result

[maggotracing]

Chris,I got 5 cornermarkers done,ran out of concrete.They turned out pretty good.Also picked up some 1" pvc to use as slip-joints........

[fmrc]

cool call me tomarrow when ever you can these are going to be great I think

[SerpentKing101]

concrete :eek:

good think i run something with big tires.

[fmrc]

its not what you think John you'll see thase are going to be nice

[Da Skills]

Hey we are moving on up. :) Concrete corners, I hope that there the nice rolling one's. They should save a lot of front end damage, plus it will make the corners more visible.

[Da Skills]

Hey Bob, have you got that car setup like you want yet?

[E-LST]

Hey D. actually I haven't touched it, but I will, you can count on that, Unfortunately, we won't be able to come test them out Sunday. I'll just have to wait till next weekend I guess. Oh well..... Later

[fmrc]

what we will be missing bob? that's not good oh well live goes on i guess

[fmrc]

D did that tekin work that John took let me know

[E-LST]

I know,,, you need someone to test the durability of the new corner pieces, right?and to see if they have the correct launch angle? hahahaha

[maggotracing]

Chris,I'll give you a ring tomorrow.......Yes my fellow racers,"concrete",the same stuff they hit with full-size race cars!!!!!WOOOOOOOOOOOOOPEEEE!!!

[tbsr2139]

The hobby stores love you guys. LOL

[Da Skills]

Hey Chris, I haven't talked to him. But I did ask his girlfriend if he had the car running. She said that he had this grin on his face ,so I guess that everything works. I'm going to call him later. Hopefully he will come out and race sunday.

Hey Tommy, how's the setup coming on the car? I'm going to be testing also, I don't think that I'm to far off from what I'm looking for. Hey Chris, I might run the 1/12th some just to get use to it.

[fmrc]

cool I need something to run this Sunday the new car isnt in yet

we have built a drivers stand so that is one improvement we got done this week

for all the worry about the concrete they are similar to the plow disk many tracks use they just weigh more thats all so don't worry to much about them

[E-LST]

Awwww, Chris, you should have let them think you were going to put concrete blocks out there....Talk about carnage!!!!!!

Hey Tommy B.,,, if you haven't got a handling reference yet, got to team losi's website, click on links, scroll down to "other rc related sites" and find the handling link, covers aero, suspension, adjusments ,pretty much every thing in the boook I paid for, just free... Later

[maggotracing]

Guys,I would'nt put too much into this set-up stuff.I bent my chassis last Sunday while warming up,and I just put it over my knee and pulled it back some.It was bent so bad that after the main I took the body off and it would not fit when I tried to put it back on!!!Car worked pretty good in the main too,Had my best 6min run yet!A little "kick-up" in the front like a 1/8 scale buggy might be the hot ticket!!Oh yea,one more little tip,extend your radio antenna all the way out before you get on the back straight and pull the trigger on a nitro car! :o

[Da Skills]

WOW!!!! A drivers stand also. :D It will definitly help with the lines on the track. Chris,I'm going to try and make it out early so I can work on the 1/12th setup. So far there's nothing in the way, but you know how last minute things come up.

[fmrc]

cool man I already told you a set-up for that thing just listen to me!!!!!!

[tbsr2139]

Hey D set up is in (hope it works). We will see tomorrow.

To late Bob already got the same book you do, but it is a very good book. thanks

[fmrc]

well thanks to all that held out the rain delay another great time racing I will have the results up later

[Da Skills]

Hey Bob what's up, we missed ya yesterday. The Yok is dialed, those minor changes I did worked. Hey Chris, I found something on the hubs for the 12th scale. But there for the L4.

[E-LST]

Hey D. I just had some things to take care of. Glad to hear the Yok is driving good. We should be back out there this Sunday,,,,, But then again school is starting for Tasha. and she needs her "anti-grouch" sleep...hahahha Just have to wait and see. Later
