90 what?

OK brushless owners and future brushless owners,, At this point in time we are running 2 different brushless motors, both Novak, 13.5 and 4300/10.5. The 13.5 is a stock equivalent and the 4300/10.5 is a 19t equilalent, per Novak. I know, "It says stock on their website" , That was the original description from a couple of years ago, look on the other pages and it clearly states the 4300/10.5 = 19t. Now if we are to be fair about this, the 4300's need to go. I did email Charlie at Novak before posting this to be sure about what I was saying. In technical terms, if it is rated at more than 3000kv(rpm/volt) it is not a stock equivalent. :teacher:

[Da Skills]

Bob you just opened up a can of worms. :D

[maggotracing]

I took the brushes out of one of my motors and it won't run at all. :confused: ,I can see where there won't be any comm wear and less friction to slow the motor.but will someone clue me in on how to make it run :confused: .

[E-LST]

No D. just a can of delta and wye's :D All I'm saying and it's based on facts, is that running a 19t with the 27t motors isn't quite fair. I'm not saying this because those cars are faster than mine, in fact on the odd lap that I drove it anywhere close to right, my cars was as fast. But what happens when they go to a race, say the june 2nd race at goldsboro and put their car down and do well then get dq'd for the wrong motor?? :huh: What would be said if, if say, Steve, was running a 19t motor and people knew it? I think someone would bring it to his attention as to being the wrong motor, Right?

[fmrc]

well bob those running 4300s I have talked to and they are going to make the switch to 13.5 just give them some time on all will be fine `

[maggotracing]

Come on guys,how do I get my motors to run without brushes?

[E-LST]

Well,,,, Tommy,, ya gotta put a 3rd wire on the motor, and run it to somewhere aroud the speedo and hope for the best :D

[SerpentKing101]

You also need Novak's flux capacitor (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKKN2&P=7).

[E-LST]

Thanks, John,, I had forgot about that. My new speedo has one, and the whole car gets nervous looking when I switch it on.

[maggotracing]

I can't seem to make it work,so now I have the brushes just barely touching the comm[semi-brushless],seems to work great!

[maggotracing]

Weatherman "may" let us race tommorrow.

[SerpentKing101]

yeah, we should be OK if all the green blobs the weatherman keeps talking about do what he says...

[fmrc]

it looks like it is going to stop to let us race we have to be done by 6 i think so 2 rounds today

[E-LST]

the green blobs are exiting my area, and sunshine is just moments away :D :D

[E-LST]

hmmmm, blobs have returned with a light rain

[fmrc]

no racing today rain rain go away

[SerpentKing101]

isnt too late to pack up and go i think. :D

last of it seems to have moved out.

[fmrc]

lets race

[maggotracing]

And race we did!

[E-LST]

And Team Bob dominates the B Main!!!!!

[maggotracing]

I have to know Bob,were there any team orders given,and if so,were they obeyed?It looked to me as though your drivers gave you no respect.

[tbsr2139]

Did steve pilot the jrx-s?

[E-LST]

There were team orders, but in my opinion, they were ignored completely, Ernie had offered $5.00 for a hit on my car. So much for driver loyalty. :huh: Steve drove the jrxs, John drove the pro 3, I ran the pan car.

[E-LST]

WHAT???? the quiet is deafening!!!! Just in case somebody didn't notice yesterday,, I had FUN!!!! racing. I don't remember when that happened last. :huh: Thanks for putting up with my sour as$$. :wave:

[maggotracing]

Well,you know that they say it's easier to calm-slow a drver down than to put a fire in his eyes,so maybe you have two drivers you can work with because they definitly had fire in their eyes!

[Da Skills]

Happy B-day John.

Hey Tommy B., did you get a chance to talk to Robert about Tony's track?

[fmrc]

can't wait till sunday

[Da Skills]

Man, I can't wait either.

[Da Skills]

Man, I can't wait either.

[tbsr2139]

Well I finally went by Tony's and to my suprise there are 5 to 6 foot tree's growing in and on the track. The drivers stand is termite infested and falling down, so my information about the reopening was sadly mistaken. :(

[Da Skills]

Thanks Tommy B. for the info. I was hoping that it would be reopened.

[SerpentKing101]

This Sunday should be a good one. forecast is looking good, and I should have a new toy this time...

Chris, I should be able to get that Turbo 30 for you in a week or two.

EDIT: Holy crap (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180106483115&sspagename=ADME:B:AAQ:US:1). :eek:

[E-LST]

Darn,, lost a driver and didn't even chew on his ear about runnin' all over me. :eek:

[Captainandy]

hey guys

Im going to try and make it this weekend if all goes well. Hope there will be a good nitro class like last time I was there,I havent even touched the mustang since that weekend, hopefully she will still run. It was some really good racing. Look forward to see everyone sunday.

andy

[fmrc]

andy hope you make it and if you do be safe on the trip

[Da Skills]

2 days, I can't wait.

[maggotracing]

I don't think I have ever seen a bunch of guys that look forward to getting a butt whopopin' like yall do! :wave:

[E-LST]

Just for grins and giggles, Rosewood is racing outside today and every other Saturday for summer, or until further notice. And remember they are having a trophy race june 2nd. I might stop by there today and check them out, after Squirt's swim lessons. popcorn

[fmrc]

Tommy don't worry I won't beat you that bad this week

[E-LST]

D. if you don't bring anything else tomorrow, bring the damper tube lube from the 12th scale, I would like to try it.

[E-LST]

Went to Wilson today, Large off road track and a super, and I mean super dirt oval, gave me the urge to just make left turns again by turning right :D, stopped by Rosewood on the way home. I think I could like that track, flowing and not real tight. :driving:

[fmrc]

wow made it a r/c day today huh well see you all around 12

[maggotracing]

Tube lube??????????????????????????????????

[Da Skills]

I'll have it with me Bob.

[SerpentKing101]

I'll trade some of this extra cyclone stuff for a battery and pinion (like a 38 and up)...

who needs foams?

[Da Skills]

So John you finally got it. I can't wait to see it on the track.

[fmrc]

john come see me for a battery and I have big pinnions too

[E-LST]

how much for the car John? Or will you sell it after the race tomorrow? :D :D (jk)

[SerpentKing101]

:D heh.

I'm keeping it as long as funds allow me to. I'm in the green at the moment.

[SerpentKing101]

Well...I'm never fast my first time out, give me another week or two. :cool:

[Da Skills]

Great racing yesterday. It was hard to judge the track once it got dark. That corner on the back stretch was tought to see. I liked the new layout with the added sections.

Hey John, you have a good car. We will see you in the A-main soon. :)

[maggotracing]

Did'nt know the racing was that close!,I was busy watching the red car.{I hate that I ran over the track operator,maybe he should get some of those tennis shoes that the little kids wear with the blinking lights on them.]

[Da Skills]

Hey Tommy G., I believe that this the first time that it's been that close. One mistake and anyone could have won.

[E-LST]

Except for my "team" driver, seems he had a propensity for trying to navigate the course in the wrong direction. :eek: That's all right tho, once he aquires a car of his own, maybe he will do better...LMAO :driving: Just a side note, the jrxs may become a dirt oval car.OMG!!!!! what will he drive then????? hahahahahaha, by the way,, damn good a main, later

[maggotracing]

Bob,that was a pretty good job you did in the nitro main,I was half-way home Sun. night talking to Big Al on the phone still trying to convince him that you did indeed win,that he did'nt realize you were on his ars and when he brain-farted on the next to last lap,you went by,I hate dealing with old people.

[E-LST]

Thanks, Tommy, next time I'll try to get Steve on a holeshot and not have to get crashed trying to pass him, :driving:

[Whiskey 1]

Due to an overwhelming sense of fair play(Guilt) :o , I have fitted both of my TC4s with the 13.5 motors. Less power may mean more speed for me. Anyway anybody wanting to buy a 4300 KV motor let me know. See you guys on Sunday.

[tbsr2139]

SHHhhh I think I hear a 12th scale setup near by. Somebody give me a pencil so I can write it down.
I found an old MaggotMotor Sports BRUSHLESS MOTOR on ebay, I had to close my savings account but I bought it.

[maggotracing]

Tommy,hate to tell ya,but you got taken for a ride,we only move our race-worn motors through finer pawn shops inthe area,not e-bay.sorry................

[tbsr2139]

Bob call me tomorrow.

[E-LST]

OK tb

[tbsr2139]

Well I got my MaggotMotor Sports motor today, and Tommy you were right. The seller had very neatly wrote MaggotMotor Sports 13.5 on it with a silver pen (could not tell in the picture). I geuss i'm going back to the old brushed motor since I spent all my money on a imitation.

[Da Skills]

Hey Tommy b. you didn't want to be left out huh? :D I'm about to get mine also. I got my paint man painting up a new body for 07. Anyone looking for a custom paint job let me know.

[Da Skills]

So how did the racing go? I missed being out there today, the weather was great. Well I will be running brushless the next time I race, the systems on it's way. :D

[SerpentKing101]

I got 3rd in th A-main...

I have this handling quip just about nicked. A fresh body might get it about perfect.

[fmrc]

all right results will be up later today

[Da Skills]

I told you John that your car was setup, all that you had to do was learn to drive it. Congrats on your finish.

[E-LST]

:roll2:

[SerpentKing101]

Heh, it was more of me tinkering with it and using decent tires than anything. I wont run someone else's setup more than I have to.

[maggotracing]

Ol' John had to fight his way through a VERY hot 'B' main to bump to the A!!

[E-LST]

Da-Dum, Da Dum,Da Dum, swoosh!!!!! :eek:

[fmrc]

d you going to be there sunday?

[Da Skills]

I'm going to try, I have some things going on this weekend. Hopefully, I will make it there before the mains.

[Da Skills]

I may fire up the nitro car, I have been working on it this week. Just bought a new throttle servo for it. Now if I can get the front bumper to work for me, I'll be ready.

I talked to Allen at Hayes today. He told me that A challenge had been layed down with another hobby shop. I don't know if everyone knows Skip, he use to have a hobby shop on Ramsey street in the early nineties. Anyway, he has that hobby shop on hwy 53 near Tony's old track. He has built a offroad track behind the shop. The challenge is, he wants to put his guys up against Allen's guys. The losers will have to buy the winners pizza. From what people have said it's not too big, I think that it's scale is more for 1/18 scale. But they can run 1/10th scale on there. I'll probably go investigate more tomorrow when I get off. I would love to dust off the old buggy for a offroad race. :D

[tbsr2139]

From what I hear, it is to small for 1/10 scale. All he runs on it is mini T's.

[SerpentKing101]

If you need me to, I can run them over for you with the MGT. I think I can fit like 2 under each of these new tires. :D

[Da Skills]

Maybe he will make it bigger if he gets enough interest about the track.

Hey Tommy B., how do you like that brushless? :D

[maggotracing]

Derick,Tommy B. got a bad knock-off of a 13.5 brushless off of e-bay.Someone took a 540 mabuchi,painted it and wrote 13.5 on the side of it.the picture on e-bay must have been convincing enough for him,cause he plunked down his cash for it.[sucker].........I on the other hand got one from a reputable seller,I like it,just taking alittle time to get used to the way it makes power compraired to brushes...Don't kid Tommy B. too much,he was alittle ashamed of his purchase.[he was "punked"]

[E-LST]

Did you get the full cost of the new motor out of him? :eek: :wow:

[Da Skills]

So someone took Tommy B. for a ride huh? I got mine yesterday. I can tell that it's alot different from running a brushed motor. I have to figure out what percentage to set my drag break on. I started setting it up, but I went to far on the breaks and the drag break. So I'm going to start from the default setting again.

[fmrc]

bazk on the net guys cant wait till sunday

[tbsr2139]

Chris did my shipment of parts arrive yet?

D' I haven't gone brushless yet, I was just giving Tommy a hard time.

[fmrc]

tires?
yes

[JimmyMac]

What setup did you get Derrick? If it's the GTB... I run the GTB Sketrum edition with profile 1 and drag brake set to 6.

[fmrc]

jimmy come down and race with us our new lay-out is about 450 feet its alota fun

[JimmyMac]

I would, but I work every other Sunday. And the Sundays that I'm off.. I race Durham. Is anyone gonna race Mothers Day? Durham is not racing that weekend.. So I have no where to race...

[fmrc]

we are my wife is Korean she doesnt know about mothers day HAHA

[Da Skills]

Hey Jimmy. Yeah it's the GTB but not the Spektrum version. I'll try that setup, thanks.

[maggotracing]

Chris,if she watches any t.v. this week,she'll know.

[fmrc]

yeah well i will say its some non christian holliday and she won't like it

everyone ready for tomarrow?

[E-LST]

da dum,, DA dum, DA DUM,,SPLASH!!! Swoosh!!!!! :eek: :driving:

[fmrc]

oooooooooooooohhhhh yeeeaaaaaah!!!!!!! says the MACHO MAN

[E-LST]

Possible morning showers, sunny & breezy for the afternoon YEEHAWWWW!!!!!!!!! we goin' racin'

[SerpentKing101]

alright! and I have a new body for Steve to break in!

[fmrc]

lets get ready to rumble

[E-LST]

Kinda like you did to mine? :huh: :wave:

[E-LST]

Good racing in the A Hope next weekend is as good with the big turnout. Tommy G, the hooters girls come by looking for your MM hospitality tent and we had to send them away, told them you were picking spinach or chasin chickens. :D :wave:

[fmrc]

wow great racing yesterday I cant believe the turn out 15 etc and 5 1/12th scales cant wait till next week

[Da Skills]

This past weekend was some of the closest racing that we have had. And a record showing of 15 tourning cars. The season is just begining, I wonder what it will be by summer. :D

[SerpentKing101]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/KeltosJonn/IMG_0289.jpg

Still think all my paint jobs look the same, Chris?
--

Oh yeah, shattered a steering knuckle on the first lap. Fun stuff.

[maggotracing]

Crap,I forgot that I had lined up the Hooters gals to work our hospitality tent on the 6th,oh well,the girls from "Pure Gold " in Southern Pines are on the schedule early this summer,could be even better!So don't delay,join the Maggot motorsports fan club and get your tickets for the hospitality tent early,space is limited!!!!!.................Nice job of coloring there John.Looks like you stayed inside the lines.

[SerpentKing101]

Thanks, man. :D I think im getting used to these crayons.

[Da Skills]

Nice paint job John, you are getting real creative with your paint schemes. William is going to love it. After a while everyones going to be running a nice custom body painted by you.

It wasn't a good day for me either, I broke my steering plate in the first quailfier. :mad: At least you made it to the show. :)

[Da Skills]

Hey John, I have a new body being painted. I'm thinking about trying out the new DNA2 body, so I may be requiring you services on the paint job. I'll let you know.

[fmrc]

great job John I never said they look the same just that I can idenitfy your style

[drobinson]

when and where are you guys racing. I usually race at rose wood, but they are not running this weekend. Are you guys running? What classes and can brushless be used.

[fmrc]

weh race in fayeteeville on the corner of yadkin rd and santa fe rd in the parking lot of ponderosa shopping center we set-up the track at noon and race at 2 pm yes brushless 13.5 for stock touring 12th scale is stock as well we will be there Sunday hope you are too if you need any more info feel free to call me at 910-916-6584 chris

[Da Skills]

Hey Chris, I talked to Steve B. tonight. He asked me when we were going to start racing again. I told him we never stopped. :D SO he is suppose to call me later this week so that I can help him with his 12th scale. I found a setup for that car that actually worked. I wrenched on it all week, and it felt stable. I ordered my part to fix the Yoke. I made sure that I ordered 2 this time. I could have sworn that I ordered two last time.

[maggotracing]

John,I don't know if Chris' comment about your "style" is a compliment or not,he says the same thing about my paint jobs................................You guys with tweak tools can just throw them away,my 1/12 scale has been glued to the track and after checking it over last night, I found that the tweek screws were not even touching the chassis,go figure?????????????

[fmrc]

great more 12ths the better we had 5 last week and missing one so wow if he shows up thats 7 and tring to get richard to bring his too then that makes 8 nice class then

ooohhh yeah say the MACHO MAN

[JimmyMac]

What did you break Derrick? I may suggest some parts for ya if I know what they are.

What motors do you run in the 12th scales? I may be interested in some outdoor 12th scale fun!

[JimmyMac]

opps. I read above... stock 12th scale... derrrrt

[fmrc]

come on out jimmy we always love more we wish we could have big crowds all the time it is more fun I think

[SerpentKing101]

yes..big crowds are fun until the first corner.

EDIT: anyone have one of those setup gauges? going by these tires, this Cyclone needs a date with one..bad.

[fmrc]

john stop by tomarrow evening and you can use mine

[maggotracing]

Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag.Now yall know why Maggotmotorsports has beem sporting solid red paint with no sponsor on the side.It looks like Dale Jr. and Bud are coming on board with us.Our only hold-up right now is Dale's salary.

[tbsr2139]

The way he's been driving, MaggotMotorsports better invest in a bunch of Tamiya parts. :D

[E-LST]

He said he was only interested in winning and championships, so money wasn't an issue. :huh: :wave:

[E-LST]

Give him a ride Tommy, a multi car team is the way to go, especially when the drivers have the crowd draw like Jr. :D :driving:

[E-LST]

And now for something completely different........ :flame:

[SerpentKing101]

yeah, i propose our own forum now...

[E-LST]

:huh:

[fmrc]

i would if I knew how to do it I will post result tomarrow maybe

[Da Skills]

About time we get back online. I missesd posting up.

[Da Skills]

Bam sign up.

[fmrc]

did everyone see how D was scared to race Sunday he said he had things to do but was able to come watch sure what ever JK D should be another great turn out Sunday we should have a ful field of 12th scales too I had a thought how would the 12th scalers feel about running 5 min qualifers and an 8 min main it might speed up the quallifing a little bit just a thought you all let me know

[tbsr2139]

Works for me chris.
Are we still going to run 19's as motors?

[fmrc]

yeah 19 turn motors for 12th scale awsome VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM MMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

[E-LST]

D, call Alan at Hayes' He has a yukomomo piece you might want :D

[maggotracing]

Sorry I missed yall guys last Sunday.I was able to talk to Jr. at Darlington though,and money does carry some weight in his desicion making.I am not sure if my salary offer or the fact that he would be the "2nd" team driver amused him the most.We did come away from the meeting with something being established though,his "people" said I HAD 2 WEEKS TO GET RID OF THE RED AND WHITE PAINT SCHEME OR RISK BEING TAKEN TO COURT!Geez,these guys are wound too tight..........................I'll give yall your 19t in 12th scale!

[E-LST]

The rain of EA3 schrapnell has finally stopped, was pretty wild there for a few... now I'm all graphite again, a side swipe shouldn't clean off the rear suspension now.. :eek:

[Da Skills]

Yeah Chris it was hard just to come out for those few minutes that I was there. I had to get my fix. Thanks Bob, I'll call him tomorrow. I found some online, so if Alan has them I will have 4. So we are going back to 19 turn motors in 12th scale. I might keep my stock in. I'll probably have more luck with it. I'm going to try to get up with Steve B this week, Hopefully he will get out there this weekend. 5 min qualifier, 8 min main sound good to me.

[Whiskey 1]

Hey Chris what were the race results for Sunday?

I'm thinkin' ya might want to swap #4 and #6, I never completed a lap in the A

[fmrc]

oh yeah i remember talking about that before

[SerpentKing101]

New toy for Sunday!

I might end up bartering it off while i'm out there though, havent decided if I should keep it yet...

[fmrc]

what you got John let me know

[SerpentKing101]

Turbo 35 BL...either it or the 969 goes...

I was messing with it with the little 4.5 amp PS I got, still trying to figure out what all it does.

[SerpentKing101]

Well..might not run this week either, people are taking their sweet time getting things shipped...

[Da Skills]

Join the club John. I had to order my parts from Hong Kong. Luckly Allen at Haye's found me one, so I'll be able to run the Yokomo this weekend.

[bammalamasrc]

what going on fellas.. finally got the ok to leave threads.can't wait until sunday,last sunday was great i finally won a race :winner: , but broke down with under a min to go in the main :( but it's cool those are the brakes............ it felt good to have a tuned car and some good advice :teacher: .with some more advice and practice i'm sure to be A-main bound!!!!!!!!bed time. you guys heard the joke about the 4 racers and the billy goat????????????????????me niether but i bet it would be funny as hell

[fmrc]

hey bam welcome to the boards

[bammalamasrc]

what going on fm thanks. got some bad news can't go june 2 my old lady has two work and i'll be on diaper duty.sunday the 3rd is a go...... it's my birthday...so everyone has to let me win.lol... i hope one of the f.p.r(fayetteville parking lot racers) click bring one of those shinny things :winner: home so we can have some bragging rights. we have great drivers so i know it is very possible.I wanted to get in one of those novice races and help out in the pits but again those are the brakes. probably be on the pc later ......have a great day racers......and never cross the road with a fat girl,a pint of gin,and a pink suit on friday i heard it's bad luck.........well i think i heard it :confused:

[fmrc]

man you ruined my palns for tonight I hated bad luck but I do love a good time HMMMM what should I do

[E-LST]

D, That'll learn ya,, next time you'll consider an American car that is mfg'd in China. ready availability of parts(except when they are out of stock, nationwide) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[bammalamasrc]

these faces are cool :cool:fm you want to have some fun, you have to cross the street with a fat chic,a pint of gin,in a purple suit.E lst i heard that alot of stuff made in china tend to be crapy :teacher:made for quanity at a great price, not so much as quality, not all but but a good amount.i know the american ingenuity is great tho.......i don't know that what i observed. becker is funny as hell what your opion LST :huh: about the quality comment not becker

[E-LST]

Bam, My "Team Losi" an american company, owned by Horizon Hobbies, designs it's stuff here, but to be competitive pricewise, it gets manufactured in china. Ain't that great? But then the average wage of a factory worker in china is about $1000,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a year!!!!!! wonder how much healthcare insurance they have? Later
:flame: popcorn

[fmrc]

thats why I drive a German car !!!!!! 3 VW's for under 17,000 hahaha

[bammalamasrc]

damm that sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll be on latier probaly

[Da Skills]

Hey Bob, I always have to be different as you can see. I have run the American companies in the past, but I love the Japanese companys. :D

Hey Bam I see that you finally got on, Welcome man.

Well let me decide if I'm going to change the motor out in the 12th scale. I took it out for a spin yesterday and it was hooking up pretty good. Later

[maggotracing]

You fellers better put an extra layer of front bumper foam in,Big Al is running electric TC tommorrow.

[SerpentKing101]

If anyones interested in what the whole 'drifting' hoopla is, come on out tomorrow. :D

[maggotracing]

Your car alittle loose John?????????????

[SerpentKing101]

nah, just got the drift tires. :D (well..made some from my long lost abs pipe)

Fred might crap himself if he sees it.

[Da Skills]

So Tommy G, you finally got Big Al to run electric tc. :D Well it's about time, I have been asking him about it for awhile. Hopefully we will have a good turnout today.

[bammalamasrc]

thanks dee i hope so too....... i went to the track today(sante fee) dusty as hell put down a couple of rags and try to pratice that long straight that we have. i need to pic up 3 sec :driving: from some were i know that could be one. Great track last week f.M what are you going to come up with today...tommorow get in to my routine music 2fast 2furious,and a good old relaxation....john i use to love to watch drifting video on youtube until a met your hard core racing catz :cool:, now it's all about that main checkered . john i hope your racing tommrow if not you can use the atx... i moved the springs more horizontal but i have to adjust the springs height, know the it is like 8 but it handles a little better i think but

[bammalamasrc]

dee run that 19t man!!!!!!!!!!! if you can handle it..... i know you can, you just don't want to be hitting that part store up any time soon......i tell you what, 12th scale is going to be more exciting i seen fm run one crazy fast.... i miss seeing nitro!!!!

[SerpentKing101]

may or may not run the car, even though its in one piece...solely depends on what happens out there.

[bammalamasrc]

did you finish that body

[SerpentKing101]

yes. check the contest thread for pics.

[fmrc]

I am ready to race !!!!!!!

[Da Skills]

Hey Bam, when we first started running 12th scale we ran 19 turn motors. So I'm use to the power. It's just that I finally got it to handle the stock motor, but I did switch to the 19 turn motor. Well time to pack up and head to the track. See everyone in a few. Later.

[SerpentKing101]

pretty good racing today I think, never thought a D-main would exist outside of sanctioned races.

Oh yeah, ebay nerds strike again (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250116231090&rd=1&rd=1). :mad:

Chris, about that order, I want the old-style Mazda 6 (not lightweight). I'll get some DNA2's from you a little later.

[SerpentKing101]

Good turn out and great racing yesterday. Hey John don't beat yourself up to much, but someone got a steal of a deal on that car.

meh, I hope one of the motors blows up in his face.

[henryj]

Hey guys and girls, had a blast yesterday! Chris great job running the race, talk about multi-tasking; setup track,run races, run two classes; great job man. We had fun and we will head back when we can. Now that I got the rust nocked off maybe I will run better next time out. Joseph did well as usual, just need to tighten up on his setup man. I think he forgot all he had learned in RC in just 3 months. Later......Hank and Joe

[fmrc]

what kind of turn out do you think we will have this week I know bob and tasha wont be there hopefully Tommy G will have his new TC Sunday I think drew will be back Oh thanks Hank and Joseph for comming out hope to see you all again soon and we will have a new scorer next week so that means I will be able to just race for the most part here comes 19 laps !!!!!!!

[Da Skills]

Well you know that I have my little girl this weekend so I probably won't be there to race. I'm rebuilding the car anyway. Thanks for coming out Hank and Joseph, it was nice meeting you. Good run Joseph, man we had the race of the day.

[SerpentKing101]

Those CS27s have died (only a pair of them are useable, and I use that term very loosely). I'll be out there being someones pit guy maybe, but thats about it.

[E-LST]

OOOH !!!!! :eek: "pit" guy hahahahaha Steve will be looking for "help" (batteries, charger, wrenches, etc,etc,) maybe you could be his pit guy. I promise it'll be entertaining after you finish pulling your hair out. :eek: :teacher: :huh: :wave: :wave:

[SerpentKing101]

nah...babysitting Steve is still your job. :D

[maggotracing]

Bob,do you and Revo Steve curse at each other like Big A l and I do?If not yall should try it,because it seems to ease the tension somewhat!

[bammalamasrc]

what going on racers????? sun was cool. fm can you get the med inserts for sunday????? that main was crazy chris checked out the first lap and never looked back that car might be the fastest thing out there(clocked at 30 in a 25)was that the co27 and do you rebuild before sunday???????? i have to know. dee held on to the sec spot barely, that young gun is pretty good......i know you have not found your gear!!!!! i can't believe those brushless motor are so cool after 5 min you have one of those thursday made motor.I think i'm going to continue to use that radio until i win a b main it might be a while but i think it helps me to learn the basics....i can't use the brake!!!!!!!!!!!yet!!!!!!!!

[maggotracing]

Chris,19 LAPS?????????????,U must be planning on making the layout shorter....my car should be here Thursday,I'm worried about rust though,it's a florida car.

[fmrc]

fLORIDA CAR THAT MEANS ITS FAST REMEMBER THATS WHERE I COME FROM HAHAHA BAM AND MANNY THE INSERTS AND TIRES WERE OUT OF STOCK I SOW THAT ALAN HAD SOME AT HAYES SORRY

[Da Skills]

Yeah Chris checked out. My plan was to stay right behind him going throught the first section. I did somewhat until I got hit in the rear. I just wanted to get through the first couple of turns before I had to drive hard. I'm still trying to find the right gear ratio. The last ratio that I tried before the main was better than it had been all day, but it can be better. I have an idea about what to run. Joseph was good, I like close racing, but that's alot of pressure for a 5 min run. There's no room for error.

[maggotracing]

Yea D, that was some good racin between you an d Jarmin!,,,,,,,,,,Big Al is already crying about Horsepower,I ask him if he could hold it wide open all the way around the track.He said "no".So I told him you have more power than you can use!

[fmrc]

thats what what I do hold it wide open all the way around if I wreck oh well I have parts HAHAHAHA or another car now (thanks tommy) HAHAHAHA

[Da Skills]

Wow, we're back up.

[SerpentKing101]

oh my god it lives!

[tbsr2139]

This one is finally back up and the other crashes.LOL :)

[E-LST]

Yeah, this one is up now and ours is broke, What's up with that? :D :wave:

[tbsr2139]

Bob did you see that novak system I posted on the other site?
If so what do you think.
Here it is http://www.teamnovak.com/products/brushless/ex_systems/index.html

[E-LST]

Yep, If the other was working you could read my reply. But since it's not,,,,,Chris,,,,,,,here ya go, you can double check me on the novak site, but I'm pretty sure that the motor is the bonded rotor, not sintered, (black timing ring, not orange), anf the esc doesn't have the adjustability and settings options as the GTB. It's a good entry level/ street set up. I'd recommend adding a c-note to the price and getting the good set up, for 275.00 you'll be far happier. Just ask Steve :huh: :wave:

[SerpentKing101]

I think if I actually bothered to look for parts, I couldve ran the A. :o Part was just laying there in the box.

But then, I mightve got "Steved" and be back where I was.

[Da Skills]

Yeah John I know all about getting Steved. I got hit by him so many times, that I started to pull my car off of the track.

[fmrc]

cant wait till Sunday hope there is a big turn out I think Andy is comming this weekend and bringing Richard Medlin I hope

[Whiskey 1]

Maggotracing the TC 5 would be fun to drive if I could find some parts for it, really ups the pucker factor knowing that it's just a bad turn away from being an expensive paperweight. The battery shifted into the belt system and broke a solder joint in the impact. I'm ready to try again this weekend after a small mod I made to keep the battery in place. If anyone is interested I'm going to sell a TC4 no motor or ESC with a Futaba radio for $150.00. Contact # is 910-578-3328. :)

[E-LST]

Manny, if you haven't checked them out yet try Associated parts house. com they have some front arms, no rears tho, and bunch of other parts.
Bob

[Whiskey 1]

Thanks Bob, I'll try
:D

[Whiskey 1]

Picked up 2 sets, thanks Bob. I looked earlier in the week and they didn't have any. I'll scan daily until Tower or Hayes starts carring them.
