http://fmrc0.tripod.com/ THANK YOU

[OldSkoolRCRacer]

I get an error message when I click on the link

[fmrc]

try that one

[OldSkoolRCRacer]

Thanks! It works now. Good luck to you. We started a Parking lot Race Club last year, and have a blast. So far this season, we have been rained or snowed out 4 out of 4 times.
We found that using 4" PVC sewer pipe ($7.00 per 10' length at Home Depot or Lowes) that we have ripped in half on a table saw works great, and sits flat on the ground because of the "U" shape. We also cut 16" diameter dots from 1/4" masonite, attached a piece of 1"x2"x6" pine to attach the pipe works great for the dots at the end of a piece of pipe at a hairpin. Use a router to chamfer the edge, and the cars ride up over the masonite... pait them orange for visability.
We also ripped the 4" pipe fittings in half for connectors..... Tees, 45 and 90 degree elbows. Use sheetrock screws to hold everything together. I can haul the entire track layout of pipe and fittings in my old Bronco II, with the pipe on the roof racks.

[fmrc]

thanks for the info we hope to grow this to become a great time for the family and a place for racers to get there fix

[SerpentKing101]

Anything for monster trucks? That's all I have right now. :(

I'll be sure to check it out, though. I live only a couple miles from there.

[OldSkoolRCRacer]

We try to encourage more family involvement. Anyone 15 and under races free at our Parking Lot races. We run a class of 2 cars to encourage people to come out.

[SerpentKing101]

about that 2 in pipe, Home Depot has these 12 foot lengths for 6-7 dollars. I have a lifetime supply of drift tires thanks to them. :D (but no-onroad to use them with...i miss my tc3)

[fmrc]

yeah the monster trucks will run in the run what you brung class
unless we have enough to make a class 3 or more

our 1st race is this Sunday at 4 pm track will be set up at 2:30

[OldSkoolRCRacer]

We get the lighter 4" pvc pipe in 10' lengths, rip it in half lengthwise, and get 20' for $7.00. Besides, the "u" shape gives it more stability than a round piece.

[OldSkoolRCRacer]

Do you guys have a scoring system? There is a free download available at: rctiming.com

The program is called LapsFree. we use it manually, with keyboard number imput, but it is also compatible with AMB transponders and loop systems.

[fmrc]

thanks but I have auto score but we wont have power this week and will be using it manually as soon as we get power

[GAR]

Where do you race at?

George

[JimmyMac]

Behind the preposition.

[fmrc]

we will be racing at ponderosa shopping center (on the corner of Yadkin road and Santa Fe) in front of the old Win-Dixie

[JimmyMac]

LOL! I used to live in that neighborhood by there!! haha... FoxFire.... West Over? High School... (never went there, I went to Montgomery Road Elementary School). Used to walk over to McDonalds all the time. Then cross the road and check out the pawn shop and other stores there. Yeah... old memories....

[JimmyMac]

I may show up one weekend just to check it out. It'll bring back old memories being back in the old neighborhood. I guess I'll bring my electric touring car. But not this weekend. Maybe the next race day.. May 6th? As long as it's not on a day Rosewood or Durham races. Anyways... I'll keep checking on here..

[fmrc]

Great to hear Jimmy I will try and keep everyone posted on what going on here and on the web site.

[fmrc]

looks like great weather for this Sunday

[GAR]

what time Sun.?

will there be electric and nitro?

and how many do you expect?

George

[fmrc]

well we will start at 4 pm we will set up the track at 2:30
we will offer the following classes
electric touring
nitro touring
12th scale
run what you brung
as far as the turn out not sure on the numbers since it will be our first race if you look at our web site that is linked in the 1st post you should be able to get all info there

we hope to get as many as possible we are in major fund raising mode at this pointe every week will just get better with the support of the racers

[GAR]

Do you have power for charging batteries?

[fmrc]

I will be using my car battery and my butain Iron as soon as we raise enough money for a genny then we will have some power on site

[JimmyMac]

Ahhh, the good ole days of parkling lot racing! Reminds me of Chapel Hill. Anyways, was there a race today? I just got back from a race in West Virginia. Had I made it back sooner, I would have headed out there. Let us know how things went!

[fmrc]

we Jimmy it was not bad for our first race we had 8 cars total not bad and a lot of people who wanted to what it was about with alot of interest I think in 2 weeks we will have a 12th scale class I now that there will be atleast 3 and maybe 4 there then and a electric tc class too and congrats to serpentking for the win today

[SerpentKing101]

Yay! :p

Really had fun today, was great to actually have someone to run with when I'm out running my RC's. Even if mine was the slowest moving thing out there.

maybe when I'm finished with my E-maxx project would I have some crazy top end, too.

[fmrc]

you da man yo!!! notthe fastest but still won the race great job

[fmrc]

race just a few days away I can't wait

[SerpentKing101]

the forecast calls for rain on Saturday, but we should be OK for sunday...

I should be able to make it out again, but dont know if I'll still have my T-Maxx for much longer. I'm trying to sell it to help pay for a mgt or a g2 chassis for my e-maxx.

[fmrc]

you need an electric tc man but what ever hope to see you

[GAR]

Have any of you guys raced with us at Rosewood or Durham?

[JimmyMac]

GAAAAaaaaaaaRRRRRrrrrr!

[Da Skills]

I have been there to catch a few races. I've been trying to get back into racing again. This past week was the first time that I had run my car in awhile. I think that I have the bugs worked out, but I'm not going to get to happy yet. Chris are you still going out of town or has your plans changed?

[SerpentKing101]

noone wants to trade their TC for my T-maxx... :(

Id probably get some offers if I wanted something like a budget tamiya, but what I really want is a XRAY T1, and I'll kick myself all over again if I get anything less (I traded a FT TC3 to get the T-maxx, wishing i hadnt now. You had to have seen it. it had the IRS graphite chassis, and I replaced all the screws with these anozided blue hexes. All I needed was a pinion for it to run...).
--
I went to Rosewood on a friday a few months ago. noone was out there, but it was a real nice setup from what I saw.

[GAR]

We will be racing this Sun. in Durham and next Sat. in Rosewood u guys should try and join us.

I also have a generator and on the days the Durham and Rosewood are not racing I may be able to come out and help you guys out.

Serpent, I have a RDX I might be willing to trade for a T-Maxx

George

[fmrc]

cool George,if you make it that would be great, Also I have raced up there and its nice at rosewood but just looking to do local fun racing (this last carpet oval season took a toll on me) and D no I will still be out of town but I will be able to stop by probobly around 6 I will be there in spirit and on the 14th 1/12th scale and tc I hope Serpent King you will find takers

Chris

[Billy McCormack]

Here is the websites for both tracks if you guys are intrested

TRRAC (http://www.thercspeedway.com)

RoseWood (http://www.thercspeedway.com/rosewoodrc/)

[SerpentKing101]

Gar, i have pic of the T here (http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=216510), but it looks much better when its right there in front of you.

[fmrc]

Web Site Has Been Updated

[SerpentKing101]

dangit..might rain tomorrow. :( Just when I found a nice tune to my T-maxx, too (goes much faster now, and the engine actually gets hot)

[Da Skills]

Well the rain wasn't nice to us today, I was hoping that it would pass. Oh well there's next week. SerpentKing have u found a tc yet?

[SerpentKing101]

nope..not yet. :( The hunt continues though.

I found a couple really nice ones, but I need to get rid of my T-Maxx to get one.
--
Oh yeah, fmrc, my neighbor has an open trailer I believe is for sale. I'll talk to him about it if youre interested.

[fmrc]

yeah we would be interested for the right price and since it rained today I hope we have a big turn out next Sunday

Roll call

chris crowder

stock touring
chris crowder

[SerpentKing101]

If I "play my cards" right, I just might have a TC by next sunday. the auction I'm checking out ends tomorrow. I just hope I dont get outbid, that car is nice.

I might need to borrow tires though, as its a drifter car.

[fmrc]

I have some tires you can use

[SerpentKing101]

cool, thanks. I dont think I'll throw out the ones that come with it though...

2 hours to go...got my fingers crossed, wish me luck!

[SerpentKing101]

hey fmrc, got myself a TC now! If I waited 40 seconds later to make my final bid, I couldnt say that. And its a XRAY. :D

Whew, what a rush. ebay can be something fierce when it comes to getting you nervous.

[Da Skills]

congrats Serpentking on the tc. I know all about the competition on ebay. I'm a Ebay shopper. So how many tc's do we have now? Hopefully the words getting around about the track.

[SerpentKing101]

this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6055549046) is the link to it, and going by how the bids were going, was a pretty decent deal.

I'm so going to over-volt one of those stock motors, maybe I can catch that Jato. :D Just for fun of course, dont plan on doing it too often...

[fmrc]

congrats man tcs for this Sun I think there are atleast me and 2 others and if serpentking gets his and skills you have yours thats 5 plus I heard that there were about 4 or 5 people that can by last Sun and sat out in the rain for a while well skills bringing the 12th Sunday too?

[Da Skills]

I'm going to have to set up the 12th scale, I just bought another speed controller. It should be hear by the end of the week. I remember those days, die hard racers. Have you heard from Greg? I lost his number. I ran into him one day at walmart but I didn't get to talk to him.

[Da Skills]

serpentking will your tc be here by sunday? I checked it out.

[SerpentKing101]

I dont expect it to be here until next Monday or Tuesday, but theres a chance it could be here by the next meet. It should be here by next Friday at the very latest.

Meh, right now I have a car in the mail, and a E-maxx that needs many screws to be put back together. I'll still be out there, though.

Oh, and I havent talked to my neighbor about that trailer. Probably because his dogs tick me off. But there is a Tractor&Supply Co. down the road that has some for 499-799.

[fmrc]

cool guys skills you mean G'Honney or GP last I saw G'Honney was at the Columbo race and GP before his accedent about 2 or 3 years ago. SerpentKing well you will be ready for next week then that good doyou ned any Batteries Ihave some used batteries that Iwill let go cheep 6 cell 33's $10 a pack and 4 cell 3000's for $5 a pack let me know if you want some and will bring them

[Da Skills]

It was GP. I know that he had an accident. So it was good to see him. I was on the phone so I didn't really get to talk to him. I may get a few 4 cell packs from you.

[fmrc]

ok cool I have 9 or 10

[SerpentKing101]

I have a pair of 3300s and the car comes with two 3000 packs, so I'll be OK for now.

[fmrc]

ok if you need any let me know

[SerpentKing101]

meh..first the rain, and now a trip out of town...good thing that time I was out there was enjoyable, might be a while till I can get back out there at this rate...

I just hope I can get back before my stuff ships, I dont want any dogs eating 160 dollars worth of stuff I ordered. (something will get killed if that happens. seriously.)

[fmrc]

sorry to hear that youwont be there but have a safe trip

[SerpentKing101]

whats this? more rain on Sunday? man I hate this time of year...

I need to give that guy his gas back.

[fmrc]

we still might get Lucky

[GAR]

Looks nice for Sat., come out to Rosewood, we are expecting a big crowd, including some nitro's.

George

[fmrc]

[SerpentKing101]

a couple of us went out today. It ended pretty much when it started raining again. We shouldnt have any of the wet stuff next sunday.

I dont know the exact time it starts, but I like to be out there around 3:30. But by then, theres plenty of people already out there.
--
E-lst...cool. Kind of wierd that his batteries started dumping before mine though (im sure it was a brushless, too).

[fmrc]

Yeah We Get There At 2:30 For Set Up Start Racing At 4 Yeah The E-lst Had A Brushless I Liked That It Was Cool
Serpentking 2 Wins In A Row You Da Man

[SerpentKing101]

heh, won even with the lap on the road course... :) But with my luck, as soon as I get my E-Maxx how I want it, I'm probably going to get stomped on on a weekly basis.

Name is John McRae, btw.

[fmrc]

sorry I hade James down for some reason sorry

[Da Skills]

Hated that I missed the race this past sunday. The rain keep coming down so I thought that it would be a wash for the race day. But it sounds like everyone had fun. Sepentking I'm coming for ya. LOL.

[fmrc]

Skills we should have a decent electric TC class this week weather permitting you going to come and join us?

also I will be bringing some used stuff for sale this week to include
1 12ls for $45
1 delta 12th $30
some used CS 27's still have some runs on them $10 a set of 4
some 3000's 4 cell packs $5 each
some 6 cell 3300's and 3000's $10 each let me know if anyone wants them

[Da Skills]

yeah I'm going to try and make it this weekend. The weather hasn't been nice to us. I haven't run stock in awhile, so I have to play around with a few gear ratios.

[fmrc]

i HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GEAR TO RUN PLAYING AROUND A LITTLE START AROUND 25/100 ON A TC3 JUST A LITTLE GUESS

[Da Skills]

I think that's what I'm running now. I will just have to do a few runs to see where I'm at.

[SerpentKing101]

my car finally shipped. :D amazing how much you can adjust this thing.

gearing on mine is 34/122 if were still on that subject.

[fmrc]

Cool Dude That Sounds About Right What Motor You Going To Run Has To Be A Stock Motor
I Just Bought Some Pipe Will Be Cutting It Up Saturday Evening We Still Will Need More But Its A Start

[SerpentKing101]

its a reedy mvp stock motor. I also have this team bonzai motor that I'm probably never going to use.

[fmrc]

cool MVP is a good motor

[fmrc]

weather looks great for sunday and sound like it will be a great turn out I canrt wait

[Da Skills]

cool, the pipe will help define the track a little more.

[SerpentKing101]

looks good for sunday and the one after that...finally, some decent weather.

im going to have to pluck another T1 off ebay, replacement parts are pretty expensive. (like 2 axle hubs for 25 bucks)

[Da Skills]

Serpentking, you are like me. I like running something exotic. I like being different, but that's what happens. Parts are hard to fine, or costs an arm and a leg.

[fmrc]

weather looks great for today Sunny and partly cloudy awsome racing weather

Good turnout today, I had fun. It's only going to get better, the words getting out and people are starting to come out. Oh yeah I forgot to put my last name down when I signed up. It's Derrick Hines. Later.

[SerpentKing101]

I'm going to have to figure out out to keep my E from flipping over (get it to slide like that electric LST). that, and play with the XRAY and find a Mazda 6 body for it.

I wasnt the "champ" this time, but hey, I had fun.

[fmrc]

Having Fun Is What It Is All About John You Will Get That X-ray Going Quick Can't Wait Till Next Week

[SerpentKing101]

I got it handling better now, only time it'll try to spin is if I get the car upset with a wild slalom. But is it fast enough? who knows...

Now to get this E-Maxx from flipping...

[fmrc]

good luck man

[fmrc]

From what I hear there should be a full main in electric tc this week if not 2 mains I can't wait

[fmrc]

John com see me I can bolt some hp under the hood for you I will let you run the motor that Deric ran yesterday I might not have won but my motor did HEHE

[SerpentKing101]

pretty cool, since I probably wont be running the MT class (servo saver has had it)

[Da Skills]

Yeah I liked that motor. It took it a few laps to break in. I could tell that it was getting faster as the race went on. I'm looking forward to this weekend. I need to rebuild the diff's in the car. They were smooth, but can be a whole lot better. Does anybody know anyone selling a speed controller cheap. I'm trying to get my friend Jonh into electric tc. I forgot that I had a yokomo tc collecting dust.

[fmrc]

I have an IPC that I will let go for like $30 LMK Is that yhe yoke that GP had? if so thats a pretty good car to start with

[SerpentKing101]

I went and took the 625MG i had in my E and put it in the X-ray. Car turns just a quick as it did before, but without the 180 spins.

I just might have a chance this week. Might.

[fmrc]

good luck I am going to bring it this week

[fmrc]

Hey do you guys have a way to get power there or is everyone using thier car batteries? Also is there a lap counting system? and how many ppl are you guys getting in Elec. TC? Are they running Stk. 19t or mod. and are they running Rubber or Foam tires?

Thanks

well some people have been using there car batteies and some have used genoratorsif they bring them we do use computer scoring but it is punched in by hand don't have a decoder the electric TC class is stock and it is growing every week thispast week we had 4 and I know that this Sunday there wil be atleast 5 to 8 so its getting bigger we have only ran 3 times now sowe are still just starting we run rubber tires and track set up is @ 2:30 and racing @ 4:00 2 qualifiers and a main thanks for your interest ny more questions just ask

[Da Skills]

yeah that's the car. I sold it to him then bought it back because I was going to upgrade it. But I never did so it's just collecting dust. I will see what he wants to do, but I will tell him about the speedo.

[npresme]

Hey do you guys have a way to get power there or is everyone using thier car batteries? Also is there a lap counting system? and how many ppl are you guys getting in Elec. TC? Are they running Stk. 19t or mod. and are they running Rubber or Foam tires?

Thanks

[npresme]

Also, what time do you guys start? Is it 3 qualifiers and a main? I may try to get some of the Rosewood guys to come up one Sunday and race.

You guys should really come down to Rosewood on a Sat. and race with us, get the word out about what you are doing at your track...

[fmrc]

well some people have been using there car batteies and some have used genoratorsif they bring them we do use computer scoring but it is punched in by hand don't have a decoder the electric TC class is stock and it is growing every week thispast week we had 4 and I know that this Sunday there wil be atleast 5 to 8 so its getting bigger we have only ran 3 times now sowe are still just starting we run rubber tires and track set up is @ 2:30 and racing @ 4:00 2 qualifiers and a main thanks for your interest ny more questions just ask

repost ended up on the 4th page some how

[npresme]

Oh with that start time I know I can't make it after racing Rosewood on Sat. I was thinking you guys set up in the morning. I was gonna stay over in Goldsboro one Sat. night after Rosewood and come race with you guys. But starting that late there is no way. It would still be a 3 hr ride home afterwards.
Oh well maybe some other time.

[fmrc]

I understand thanks for the interest though

[fmrc]

prediction time I will win the Electric TC class this week and bring home the gold I have been working on the motors so those who need to lease motors this week they are ready the first five that want to shoot for 2nd will get the motors

PS I will be starting the zero racing school starting Sunday lessons $40 each spots are fillingup fast or you can watch the rear end beating for FREE

let the trash talking begin HAHA

[SerpentKing101]

heh, if anyone wants to see a xray with a stock motor do close to 40mph, let me know. :D

dont know how many runs i'll get with it, though...

[fmrc]

what did you do?

[CSweatt]

Hey Chris. I Think Its Great That Your Starting The Rear End Beating.. But Not So Fast. I Dont Have An Electric Car Yet So You Wont Recieve Your Beating For A Few More Weeks.. Its Ok You Can Relax.. Lololol

[SerpentKing101]

feed it more volts than its supposed too...

heh, was trying to do a burnout, and I got smoke, but it was coming from the motor. :eek: and that ends that particular journey with a 14-cell touring car...

Oh, and if anyone wants to let me borrow their radio, let me know. I'm getting only about 25 feet of distance.

[fmrc]

if you want to stop by fayetteville I have a radio that you could barrow let me know and give me a call (910) 916-6584

[SerpentKing101]

could you bring it sunday, or is there something else involved?

[CSweatt]

Push Comes To Shove I Have An Associated Radio Out Of A Ready To Run You Can Have If You Want. Let Me Know Ill Bring It.

[SerpentKing101]

the radio I have is from a RTR (TQ3)

When its in my E-Maxx, its OK, but as soon as I switch over to my x-ray, the range is less than a quarter of what it was. no idea whats going on.

[fmrc]

Graphite is the problem well you might need to change recivers becouse all I have is 75Mhz so that would be the problem I think its the recciever getting interferance from the chassis
Looks to be a good electric TC class this week I can't wait I think between 6-8 cars in the class

[Da Skills]

well well well. I haven't been on in a few days and what do I hear? something about a rearend beating. I have been working on freeing up the car a little more. I should have some more ponies under the hood. Chris have you been talking to a psychic? I think your insight might be a little off. You might have been blinded by that chrome. I can't wait until sunday. Hope we have a nice crowd this sunday.

[SerpentKing101]

its the graphite huh...but it's so pretty...

would a FM radio help it out? because I just might be able to get my dad to buy me a MX-3S.

I just might be able to get around the track without glitching if I stand as close to the track as I can, and run a very tight line on those far away corners.

[fmrc]

FM would help out alot that is the way I would go if I were you the MX3 is a verry good inexpensive radio too you couldn't go wrong

Skills No my forsight is just right wait and see I have a few things up my sleeve HAHA

[Da Skills]

Let's get it on. lol. I should have the Reflex nt running also. I just need to tune it to the track. I'm going to try and make it there early. I have a few things to test.

[fmrc]

Its on like donkey kong Boyyyyy

[CSweatt]

if abnyone has a NTC3 gas tank please let me know.. i need one or i will not be racing.. call me if you have any ideas 624 5625.. yes im desprite. (if thats how you spell it)

[SerpentKing101]

going to be hot tommorrow, even more than today. :confused: <-heat waves

I just might be able to buy a used synth radio, after the yard sale today (of course, after I sell the POS TQ3 I have and that stuff in my thread, which I can sell locally if anyone wants it).

oh yeah about that motor I smoked, seemed i burned off the tag that tells what kind of armature it is, and blackened some of the coils. If anyone wants it, just ask. It might have some use to it, as it does work (goes half as fast and heats up twice as quick, but works)
--
might be on to another good ebay deal...we'll know by tuesday...wish me luck, again...

[fmrc]

cool dude I haea hitec AM you can use tomarrow and do you need to use a motor if so let me know

[SerpentKing101]

I'll try out that radio and see if it helps...

I'll use one of your motors if you want, but the leads cant have too much solder on it so I can switch the leads I have on it fairly quickly (they're the trinity no-solder ones)

[Da Skills]

almost race day. man it's hot, I need to find a cheap tent.

[JimmyMac]

What is the address again? I may show up since I'm off tomorrow. I need something to do. Had fun racing today at Rosewood. Yall should come out sometime. Anyways, is the parking lot blown off pretty good? I'm trying to decide whether to bring my good car or my "plastic" car. Also you running rubber tires or foam? Maybe I should check the website for rules.. I'm too lazy.. haha.. I'm trying to bring GAARRRRRR with me... Anyways.. maybe I'll catch ya there...

[fmrc]

Well Jimmy I can't tell you the address of hand but it is the shoppong center on the corner of Yadkin Rd and Sante Fe we do run rubber tires track temp last weekwas 130 or so also we havent had to blow the track off yet we bring one incase but the pavement is 6 weeks old hope you can make it out we show up around 2:30 and race at 4

[SerpentKing101]

heh, was fun to watch George and Jimmy go at it.

Had fun though, even if that Quantum kept locking up the brakes in the main. Just have to reprogram it, no biggie. I'll be back next week, going for the blue :cool: .

[Da Skills]

Good run Jimmy and George, I thought that I was going to get to mix it up with you all, but I stripped a spur gear. Well that's racing. Hopefully I will make it to Rosewood soon. SerpentKing I will help you figure it out next race. The breaks shouldn't lock like that. It may be in the radio adjustments. I had fun in the nitro class, hopefully everyone will have there cars running next time. Later

D.

[SerpentKing101]

I just reprogrammed it, no more on-off switch for me! who knows, just might make the A-main...

I'll bring my digi-cam next week. maybe we can get one of those "all the cars together" pics we all know and love.

[JimmyMac]

Had fun racing with everyone. Track was clean and smooth. Layout was very fun. Traction was very good. Car had alot of front bite which made the rear end come around alot. Plus the heat helped with that too. Trying to drive smooth and not being trigger happy helped calm things down. This made the handling predictable. I saw one guy driving the car very good when the motor was slow. Next round he had more speed and ended up all over the place. This should tell ya to slow down!! hehe Remember the saying.. "slow is fast!" And it works too! :D

Well this kind of racing reminded me of the old Chapel Hill days. It's all about fun. I think next time I'll see if Ron Zee will go. He'll enjoy it. Anyways, had fun. Can't wait to come back out again. Thanks for everything Da Skills. L8Rz

[GAR]

Had a great time racing and meeting everyone yesterday. Jimmy that was a blast racing you ;) .

Remeber guys that maint./setup and tire selection are the most important things to have right if you want your car to handle well and reduce lap times.
motor, battery and the top speed of your car are way less important.

George GAAARRRRRRRRRRR

[fmrc]

George you are right I started to get the handle on the car for the main but still didn't have it oh well I have only raced like 5 times in 6 months but I will get it going again I think well I want to thank everyone who came out yesterday and remind poeple that the club is only as strong as its members can't believe we had 24 entries wow its getting big but we need more members so that we can get the things that are needed for the track

[reginald68]

What is the address again? I may show up since I'm off tomorrow. I need something to do. Had fun racing today at Rosewood. Yall should come out sometime. Anyways, is the parking lot blown off pretty good? I'm trying to decide whether to bring my good car or my "plastic" car. Also you running rubber tires or foam? Maybe I should check the website for rules.. I'm too lazy.. haha.. I'm trying to bring GAARRRRRR with me... Anyways.. maybe I'll catch ya there...
jmac do they hve a lap counter / power

[fmrc]

We Have Computer Scoring But It Is Put In By Hand And We Have Limited Power Most People Charge Off There Cars

[teamhyperdrive]

Chris Sweatt is racing again?I thought he was stuck at Nascar school.Be good to see his goof ball self again and see if he's ready to make those Rockford's hit.

[fmrc]

yeha he is racing again and he is acually helpfull at the race track can you believe that now you have sat down get this he is running nitro tc too
(he can't hang with the electric boys) haha just kidding Chris
we are starting to get a good crowd and a good ETC class too man its good to be racing

[JimmyMac]

Well I won't make it out this Sunday since we are racing in Durham, but I'll try and make it back out on June 11th. I'll bring my "plastic car" this time. Should be alot of fun. Maybe I'll have a few others with me as well. Hopefully I can get one of them to bring some shade!!

[SerpentKing101]

outbid on both... :(

I'm getting a 75mhz synth radio and reciever for less than 80 bucks, no matter what.

[Da Skills]

SerpentKing hope that you find what you are looking for. JimmyMac, I'm looking forward to racing with you again. I'm starting to find my rhythem again, I'm slowly brushing the rust off. LOL. Chris, your car looked like it was working for you in the main.

I showed John the yokomo, hopefully we will have another ETC soon. Later

[JimmyMac]

If anyone is looking for a good touring car. I have 2 for sale. One is my Tamiya Evolution IV for $200. The other is my Yokomo BD for $250. Both comes with front diff, front oneway, and front spools. The Yokomo comes with more spare parts. For more info, just ask or PM me. Thanks..

[CSweatt]

Whys Everybody Always Pickin On Me.. Haha.. Who Is Teamhyperdrive? Yah Im Trying To Run The Ntc3. Get It? Trying...... Lol. Those Nitro Cars Are So Over Powered Its Rediculouse.. But Ill Get It Back Together Sometime This Week And Try Again. One Day Ill Get It Right..

[Da Skills]

Hey CSweatt you will get it going. I'm still trying to figure out why your car was all over the place. I'm going to go through mine today. So I will let you know if I come up with something that can help you out.

Hey Jimmiy I'm looking to get a new car. I'm thinking about getting that new Kyosho TF5. But that Yokomo BD sounds good also. I'll let you know.

[teamhyperdrive]

Chris Sweatt, your answer to who is teamhyperdrive?Its Brad .The guy you worried to run some of my stockers.Lol.Havent heard from ya in awhile and the last time i talked to you, you were going to Nascar school.I hope that what they are teaching you at that school doesnt reflect how you drive the ntc3.We dont need another hacker in Nextel cup as you would be putting others out of a job(Stewart, both the big headed Bush's etc).Just messing with ya man and been trying to set something up with the other Chris to get together.

[SerpentKing101]

lol, i tried to do one of those signature last-minute bids. I was about 2 seconds too slow. :(

I know I had the winning bid too, as it was over 20 bucks of what won it.

I'll just try again in 3 hours, but this one's a little better. it might get out of my budget before it even ends...

[JimmyMac]

Da Skills, which TF-5 are you looking at? The shaft version or the belt version? Anyways, I may bring the cars next time for people to look at. Maybe I can unload 1 of them at the track...

[fmrc]

skills loves the shaft oh I mean shaft driven cars HAHA

[Da Skills]

HAHA Chris, Jimmy I was looking to go with the belt driven this time. I looked on speedtech, all they have are shaft driven. I'm going to check and see if they can get the belt driven kits.

[SerpentKing101]

well..think ive figured out another reason my car drives like a brick, one of the rear shocks had no oil.

havent checked the fronts yet...

[SerpentKing101]

fmrc, the last radio I'm going to try to bid on ends tuesday night. If I dont win any of them, I'll try to get 2 Mazda 6's from you. But I just might be able to get at least one if the bids dont skyrocket too high. I'll let you know for sure when the time comes, though.

[Squintz]

Hey Guys! It's Brad, finally found where yall hang out on the IntrAweb :p
I've had a blast the past 3 weekends hangin out with yall.
Hey Chris C, 2 of the Pics on the site are of me or my NTC3. I charge royalties normally but I will settle for some parts;)

fmrc, I want just one Mazda 6 body. I won the radio this morning, and you dont have to wait until wednesday morning to make your order.

stewpid snipers ruined my plan, even though the bid only went up 5 dollars...
--

if you need your electronics back, let me know. my esc works now and I have a xs3 in the mail, so I guess I dont have to borrow any of your stuff anymore. Must admit that the QC2 and whatever motor that is make a real nice combo.

[Da Skills]

looks like there was a good crowd this week. I had something come up at the last moment, I hate when that happens. But that's life. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this sunday.

[SerpentKing101]

i think I finally figured out that little oversteer problem of mine: a very tight rear diff. it was almost like it had a spool back there.

so yeah, I went and loosened it, now its nice and smooth like a diff is supposed to be. Also dont have to drain a pack some just to keep from spinning out coming from a corner.

im getting a ribbon this sunday. :D dont know what color yet...

[SerpentKing101]

double post...delete me

[fmrc]

looks like a good ETC crowd this week I can't wait

[JimmyMac]

Hopefully I'll have my TA05 ready for this weekend. I'm gonna run that instead of my Cyclone. GAAaaarrrr might be goin as well. I'm gonna try and coax someone else to come out and play too!

[npresme]

Now I see why Jimmy Mac. likes coming and racing with you guys......you guys are nice too him. Let him TQ by 4 laps! We never let him do that at Rosewood or Durham! LOL

[Squintz]

It was a blast Yall, too bad mother nature didn't want to see how it would turn out. Hey I made 2 "A Mains"!! Yippie!!!

See yall next week!
Brad

[JimmyMac]

Yeah yeah yeah... hehe :D Too bad Justin and George couldn't make it this time. We could of gave them a good show. Just too bad the rain was coming in before the mains....

A large group of these guys are coming to Rosewood in 2 weeks. Should be pretty fun!

This parking lot is a good test track for setting up a car that oversteers tons and tons. I think I only heard one car out there that didn't squeel it's tires around the track. I think it was Mike's car. My TA05 was drifting every turn during the first round. I took the spool out and tossed in a diff up front for the 2nd round and it was alittle better. But I could still hear the tires around the turns. Next time out I'll bring my Cyclone and see if I can set that up for this kind of situation. I have some idea's I would like to try out...

Anyways, had fun. Even though it was hot! Catch yall in 2 weeks...

[Da Skills]

I had fun sunday even thought it rained. Hopefully this weekend will be better. Good run Jimmy, your car looked hooked up to me. Brad you've got your ntc3 coming around. For some reason my engine shut down and wouldn't start back up. I've got it back in it's form now. I LOVE RACING.

Later

[SerpentKing101]

my dad made a couple quicktime movies of the two qualifiers I was in if anyone wants to see them...

I kind of wished he recorded the gas cars or monster trucks though.

[npresme]

I wanna see some video's!

[SerpentKing101]

the first is 55mb the other 45mb, so I cant exactly just attach them to a post and be done with it...

[fmrc]

e-mail me and i will pst the on the web site

[SerpentKing101]

i tried aol, earthlink, and yahoo, none of them would let me send a file that big.

I'll just burn them to a disc or something.

[fmrc]

ok sounds good to me

[SerpentKing101]

first video now on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntp97m0aBy0). Uploading the second now.

this video is a perfect example of why most rc videos are set to music. you arent missing anything audio-wise.

[SerpentKing101]

second video uploaded (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSvWy1tFmmw).

[Bathala]

Hello,
Would like to know the exact location of your track, will try to go there this coming Sunday to race stock TC but will prolly have to drive for 3hrs, If you don't care to give us the address so we can Mapquest it, or even a phone number to contact you just incase we get lost. LOL.

TNX

[E-LST]

I don't know the number address, but the parking lot is at the intersection of Sante Fe and Yadkin Road in Fayetteville. hope that helps a little.

[E-LST]

Hey Squintz, getting a pan car ready? I have been tinkering with Tasha's a little, but haven't started mine yet, but soon. Hers was a blat to drive while I was setting it up.

[JimmyMac]

Just MapQuest McDonalds on that road. They race directly across the street from there.

[SerpentKing101]

mapquest 5701 yadkin road, then when you get there, just drive to the opposite side of the parking lot (where the old winn-dixie is. big white building on the end of that strip).

[Squintz]

Hey Squintz, getting a pan car ready? I have been tinkering with Tasha's a little, but haven't started mine yet, but soon. Hers was a blat to drive while I was setting it up.

Nah Man, been spending too much time on the touring cars :D I actually don't have much to do to my pan car tho. Just finish cutting the body out and build a diff for it. The Losi XXX-NT Will be back together tomorrow. I swear the guy I got it from never used the tools he threw in with the deal LOL.
You gonna be up at the shop around lunchtime?

Brad

[fmrc]

John great vids man can you put them on a cd for me and I will post themon the web site man I can't wait for tomarrow to come its going to be fun

[fmrc]

bathala you can contact me (chris) at 910-916-6584 you can call and get directions too if you like sorry I didnt respond quicker been at the beach the last few days and now I am ready to race

[Squintz]

See yall tomorrow:) Looks like I will only be running in ETC tho. Went out for a little test n tune today and broke something in the drivetrain of the NTC3. More than likely its a drive pinion or a bevel gear in the front. Too bad too, cause it was dialed and running great on 30% Stank.

Brad

[fmrc]

form what I hear its looks like the numbers are going to be aroud this for tomarrow
ETC 12
RWB 7
NTC 4
MT 6

[SerpentKing101]

fmrc, if you can, try to catch what chassis everyone is running in each class. makes for interesting reading.

Right now, I think im the only one not running a TC3 or TC4 on the ETC class, unless jimmy and/or GAR show up.

[fmrc]

I think you are right exept for Bob is running an HPI and Ernie is running a Losi but Ithink everyone ele is running assocciated I might have that on the sing-up sheet tomarrow good call

[JimmyMac]

We won't be there. Durham is racing this Sunday... so we will be there instead. However, I should be back in Fayettenam next weekend. I'm running two cars by the way... A HotBodies Cyclone Surikarn Edition and a Tamiya TA05 (fully hopped up). Last weekend I ran the TA05. I do have a Yokomo BD for sale for $250. Has spare parts and tuned spring kit with it. Plus many other hopups. Anyways, have fun tomorrow. Remember... slow is fast!! You gotta remember to let off the throttle 10 feet before the turn!

[fmrc]

what full throttle all the way baby if not you wont brake parts then hobby shops will go out of biz well I cant wait till tomarrow then sat it off to Rasewood to get my tail kicked in we may have the FMRC main HAHAHa I think there is 6 or 7 going up there next week gotta find my personal transponderits here somewhere

[JimmyMac]

If you can't find your personal transponder that's okay. Rosewood has track transponders as well. Just make a small hole at the bottom of the windshield for it.

[Da Skills]

It's race day yeah. I have been looking forward to this weekend after last sunday. Hey Serpentking nice videos. Anyway, Happy Father's day to all of the fathers out there. Later

D.

[fmrc]

My wife asked me what I wanted for fathers day and I told her I wanted some new tires for my race car so what did you all get?

Don't Forget The Numbers Crash!!!!!!!

Brad

[fmrc]

got them in the truck already and stop talking to Ernie

[SerpentKing101]

when I get my diffs properly adjusted (again...) im going to stop messing with them. I got the rear one too tight for the main which resulted in some lovely on-power spins.

And noone wanted that body. :( but probably because I didnt set a price. that xray just might go bye-bye, too (i'll buy another one though)

[fmrc]

were is it going and why

[fmrc]

results will be posted tomarrow

[SerpentKing101]

to whoever wants to buy the car (ill take the electronics out and give you your motor and esc back of course) and because I want a xray evo 2 or factory kit 04 (mines the original T1)

dont plan on getting rid of it for a while though. im still somewhat competitive with it.

[Squintz]

I got some pretty good pics today yall. I just put them on my machine and will zip them up to send to Chris tomorrow for the website.

Brad

[Da Skills]

Great racing yesterday. I had a few problems in nitro, but I'll be back. Later.

D.

[fmrc]

still working on the results should have them this evening been a hard day today

[justin lessard]

Now I see why Jimmy Mac. likes coming and racing with you guys......you guys are nice too him. Let him TQ by 4 laps! We never let him do that at Rosewood or Durham! LOL

hey jimmy,what's the track record for there...caus when I get back from NJ,I'm breakin it by a lap... :eek: :D ...and jimmy,you wana run some mod...

[JimmyMac]

25laps, but i can do better.. hehe..

[tarheelquality]

How is the track for nitro cars? Just watched the video and the layout looks a little tight.

[Squintz]

How is the track for nitro cars? Just watched the video and the layout looks a little tight.

It is pretty tite for nitro cars. Gear it low if ya bring it. You'll need 35s all the way around. If not 32s or 30s for the rear. When the track gets hot it gets kinda slick:)

Brad

[tarheelquality]

I am interested but would have to get some more tires first, I have been running 40/35 in Durham and thats all I have right now.

[fmrc]

good vid thanks John

[SerpentKing101]

I should be going to rosewood on saturday, but I dont think I'll be carpooling with you guys.

as soon as i reassemble the xray..dont think the car has ever been thoroughly cleaned before i bought it. plenty of thread-lock though...

[fmrc]

cool dude hope to see you there

[SerpentKing101]

nitro touring a-main!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbyWuMeHdgI

I also recorded the monster truck a-main, but it is very dark. I probably wont upload it unless theres enough interest.

[Da Skills]

nice video, hopefully I'll have my car together this weekend. I just had a little nitro bad luck.

[fmrc]

well we had The club meeting last night and things that came out of the meeting are
elections
race director (in charge on race day) Chris Sweatt
VP Herb O'laughlin
Pres Chris Crowder

also we voted that the trophey (July 2nd only) race entry fees will be
$5 for members
$7 for non members
gas races will be 4 min not 6
there has to be 3 cars in a class to have the class
sign ups end at 3:30 drivers meeting at 3:45 first race at 4:00
5 min between each race if your not there then the race will start with out you
we are working on something that I don't want to mention but it will be awsome

[SerpentKing101]

more bad ideas...

for the nitro touring cars, if the lap times arent too quick, have them run a half-oval. they can go wide open and skip the first set of corners, then take them run through the second set.

could use the same layout if a elec mod class comes about (where those guys running the brushless should be anyway)

[JimmyMac]

If I ran Mod Electric.. I would rather run the same layout as Stock. Just because you have Mod doesn't mean I wanna run wide open everywhere. That's why you have Oval class... Just my 2cents. Also, you won't learn how to drive a touring car if you take out most of the turns....

Also.. for the comment on brushless (limited/spec mode) shouldn't be a problem against stock. I remember a few years back we allowed this. They were fast.. but those of us that ran Monster stocks were still winning against them. Plus we limited their gearing too. You could do the same there as well. Just don't take the fun away from everyone. The club is not organized enough yet to throw in too many rules.

Anyways, hope to see yall both Saturday and Sunday... L8Rz

[SerpentKing101]

well, the only reasoning i had for the new layout for nitro/mod is to give the drivers somewhere to wind it out. most of the people that come to our fayetteville meets seem to care about only speed anyway...

[E-LST]

I have to agree with Jimmy mac, let em learn to turn, maybe they will learn throttle control. going slow is fast,,,,lol

[Da Skills]

What people have to understand is that you can only drive a car so fast and be in control. That's the key word (control). Learning to slow down and only go fast where the track allows you to, it will help you improve your laps and lap times.

As for brushless, I have no problem with them. If it wasn't for a few mishaps I would have won against a brushless car. And I was running a Monster stock. So it doesn't matter what you are running, just learn to drive what you have.

Later

i agree with Daskills. running pro-truck off-road, you get to race against a lot of fast technology. what's popular in our class is the LOW turn brushless systems and 8000 or above li-po batteries. all last season i used "regular" batts, motors, and speedos and have been very competitive. (i even led two points races with a stock motor). a lot of guys had too much and was just out of control.
"RC equipment and personalities are a lot alike...it's not what you have, it's how you use it." (ok , so i'm no phlosiphur.LOL) :D

[SerpentKing101]

heh, i'll be using this setup from mytsn.com and working from that. the previous owner proved he was a retard when it came to this car, so i'm done using his setup. who knows, I just might be fast next sunday.

i might need to bring my e-maxx just in case bob doesnt run the monsters. :D

EDIT: forgot that Chris had that Revo going really quick, hmm...

does a 12th mod count as run what ya brung?

[E-LST]

Will I bring my LST????? don't know, maybe, Tasha is supposed to be out of town for the weekend, I might have time. I will be trying out my pan car set up. So if it goes well, I probably won't run monster. That would be a LOT of battery charging.

Yeah it does Pete. I thought about bringing one too... but I'm just too lazy to rebuild mine hehe. Maybe I'll bring a MiniZ!! They have Mini T's in there!

i think i'm just going to race the e-maxx this weekend. someone can drive my x-ray if they wish, granted they bring their own radio and charger.

replace what you break, of course...

[E-LST]

John, you'll just have to contend with Chris S and Steve, I wont be racing the LST.What's up with the xray? just to tempermental? I' have a pan car that I've put a 200mm body on, looks good. I hope it'll spark some interest. See ya Sunday

[SerpentKing101]

nothings really wrong with the xray (even though I want to sell it) , its just that I dont want to keep switching out the steering servo every time I want to run a different class.

i just hope none of the e-maxx driveshafts grenade themselves like one did today.

[nomac]

which xray is it?

[SerpentKing101]

its the original T1.
