IR/CR Home of the April Fool's

[Nairb]

So, how was it? Motocross was pretty cool. HOLY CRAP, though, there were hotties EVERYWHERE! If you weren't there, you missed out... :p

I got my Calc 3 test back today. I got 92%, which was one of the top grades in the class. I'm pretty happy with it, especially considering I only did half the homework. :D I just took my Art History final, too. I did way better than I thought I would, too. That class SUCKED! Beware if you think about taking it.

[XXXER]

Hmmmm, how did that get past my friend, the net nanny? Anyways, I did not even make one qual, and there were only 8 races. I broke my car in half, including my body also :confused: :rolleyes: But my dad bought me a new GRAPHITE(thats right, read it and weap) chassis, it was more like a 50 dollar kick in the joules, but you get my point. and YES, i have to pay him back for it, but my car has no more flex, and it is considerably lighter. I donated my chassis to the wall. but I got 6th out of 7 in the A-Main, without even making a qual, that is right, LOL. Murph and i got into a hack fest at the start of the race, 3 laps into it, we got lapped :rolleyes: I wish he would have not have gotten so physical, made me mad. I pulled away second half, and beat him.

[XXXER]

Well, how about you pick up a dirt car, and come race it with us? LOL, seriously though, IR/CR has an on road track, with oval, they will be doing trophy races also, so why not make one then? Or do you just want to stick to carpet?

Honestly, i heard that they have a crappy track, that it is very tight, and the kind of carpet that you would use in a school building, meaning, no OZITE track.

[gacjr0]

I forgot about that!
I really should concentrate on asphalt anyway because I'm going to the onroad nats in July. I'll check out rcmother.

[gacjr0]

oh I sold my XXX to concentrate on onroad this year

IRCR's webpage is old. Their next trophy race is Feb 10,2001!

[XXXER]

LOL, i am sure that it will soon be updated, due to the April Fools being such a recent race. Where are the nats at this year? I may(and i stress may) get an on road. But i am looking for a XXXT more than anything else right now. That is what i hope to have by the end of the summer.

[Nairb]

Hey Idaho guys, RCMother herself posted a list of 6+ trophy races (onroad and off) coming this year at TTT, but the thread mysteriously vanished. I suggest you e-mail her. It might take a while, but she'll answer you. One thing's for sure, they need a real webmaster!

Who's going racing tomorrow? I am!

[gacjr0]

Dudes, you weren't kidding theres dirt at the Riverdale track. I called them up about the May Madness and they said "uh thats cancelled...couldn't get onroad going" blah blah blah. I saw carpet on the web, had a flyer for a carpet race race but poof, no race no mo. :mad:

[hslillie]

:mad: :mad: :mad: so much for the trip down to Utah :mad: :mad: :mad:

Sorry no replies lately, and no racing the that past week and a half. Finals are just killing me, so much to prepare for. I did get an A in my writing class though, so I think I will finish this semester with about a 3.1 GPA. Anyway, I will unfortunetly not be able to attend the race tonight. I have so much to study and so little time.

NAIRB > Good job on that math test! ;)

[Nairb]

Hey big D, I need your e-mail address. Why don't you send me an e-mail to nairb5@bigfoot.com and I'll save it. I'll send you Jeff's address, too, if you want. See you after finals. I only have one left! ...but it's Calculus. :(

[gacjr0]

The onroad nats are in Roseville (near Sacramento), CA the last weekend in July.

[hslillie]

And due to the job some of us can not go :(

[XXXER]

Derek, cool beans dood. The next trophy race is the Anniversary in June i believe. No racin tonight, after school is out(20 days, not counting the last day ;) ) Then i will head out there more during the week

[hslillie]

I can still remember the times - last couple weeks of school then some time off to do whatever... wow I miss that - don't miss the finals though :D sorry guys good luck

BTW - Nairb, what are you worried about you got one of the highest grades in the class on that last calc test?

[ 05-03-2001: Message edited by: Ketchup ]

[XXXER]

did you go racing last night guys? I thought that you were going to last night, how'd you do? BTW, if you have extra time, get on the chat room sometime, about 8:30-9:00 or so, Last night i was chattin with SirSpeedy, he is cool, it is funny, he makes fun of the kids who do not know what they are doing, and saying things to them. LOL

[XXXER]

Are you all racing tomorrow? I do not know if I am yet, i hope so, after reading that post on Tech Talk, i would dang near feel guilty if i did not, c'mon guys, you know you want to go :D :cool:

[Nairb]

Oh yeah, I'm going. I'm taking my bro, but he has to leave before races start. Jeff is going, I'm pretty sure, but Chad isn't going. See ya there, whoever is going.

Ketchup, I guess there was nothing to worry about. I only studied for 20 minutes before the final and I totally kicked its buttocks! I was the second one done and I totally aced it! Woohoo!! I'm FREE!

Now for more important matters, like racing...

[XXXER]

Congratulations Brian, or should i say 'Brain'? :D I am going, WooHoo! So, when does college end? I have, lemme check, 18 days of school left, not counting the last day of course :p but then again, should i even count the last week? :eek:

[XXXER]

I just found out that i am going, and i will be there at 4:30ish, so i will see you there!

[speedemon]

Hey steve i did pretty good considering i got 5 or 4 cant remember. in the a main and was racing a rustler that was a blast even just racing though.

[Nairb]

Were you there today, speedemon? Steve didn't point you out to me. I got 2nd in all the races tonight. I'm very happy with that performance, especially considering the class was full tonight and the guy that won was very good (he lapped everybody but me).

When is college over, Stevie? How about YESTERDAY!? It's OVER, baby...for the whole summer! Woohoo!

[ 05-06-2001: Message edited by: Nairb, the opinion-filled piñata ]

[derekjr_1]

WOOHOO - Finals are over and I kicked butt! Raised my Math from B+ to A- and my Computer Grade from B+ to A- and my writing class from A- to A... Not sure what my history is yet but I think a C+ or B- (That teacher sux hardcore!)... Anyways I did really well on my tests and now racing is going to get its butt kicked! Watch out novice, here I come. :cool: I guess I'll use the sun class guys (left of this duh!) cause I am styling!

[Nairb]

Derek, you're alive! I'm glad finals are over, too. See you at the track! When are you going next?

[XXXER]

Hey guys, Nairb, he was there 2 weeks ago, when you were at Super Cross. i did craptacular, as usual, you know how that goes. Either way, i think i am gonna take a break for a week, so i will probably not go this saturday, i have gone 3 weeks in a row, pretty good for me!, LOL.

Also, *** is this ammoace kid trying to take over my forum? See how my name is before his though, LOL. Seriously, there is not a whole lot that happens here, nobody cusses or anything, it is nothing special, if i was at the other ones, it would be cool.

[XXXER]

DANG! I just noticed, it seems that he is taking over all of the forums, well, i saw his name in the electric forum too! He may be in the general, man, now i am bummed!

[Roach Racing]

Thats too bad steve i will make you a moderator when I get my board setup. I might do a live chat I have been spendinga good amount of time in there.

[Nairb]

Yeah, what's up with that? Whose butt did he kiss?

[Nairb]

Well, what do ya know? S uck gets censored, but butt doesn't. hmmm...

[XXXER]

Watch it.....

Seriously, i have no idea. I rarely see him post, unless he is a nitro guy, which he is not, because he moderates the Electric forum, oh well.....

We will see what happens when i get some in the chat room.... :)

[XXXER]

Also, Corey, sounds like a plan, i will do that. Do you know what one you have in mind? I have been a member of an ezboard BB, and it is good, and easy to get through, much like this, but with the annoying pop-up ads..

[Roach Racing]

It will most likely be a lot like this board. Except a free version of it.

[Nairb]

Come on, boys, let's go racing! I was the only guy who wanted to race stock truck. They said I had to race mod truck, but I didn't have a mod (and I've never used one) so I ran Novice. That made me feel dirty. eeeewwww!! Let's get some turnout, boys!

WHERE ARE YOU, DEREK? You're coming Saturday. You have NO choice!

[Roach Racing]

you should check the chat everynow and then brian. I usally am in there.

[XXXER]

Dang man, NOVICE? Yuck...... I feel your pain, probably the only good thing about that was that you only had to pay 2 bucks less than it would have cost you to run stock :D So, did you win, or did you pass it over to let the little guy win? Like i said before, i will get out there more on wednesdays this summer, when i can. I have not been on chat for a few days because i have been super busy, sorry roach, but yeah, bri, you need to get on there sometime.

Man, I think that this BB is hitting that stage again where i just do not care to post anything, i did like 2 times, that is it, it is one of those 'junk weeks'. Earlier this week, i found myself having PMS(PinataManSyndrome) where i was just annoyed with the crap that was on, i mean, easy questions, or the ones where you have no idea what the heck the kid is talking about, i think it is time for me to probably take a little bit of a break :)

Now that i have rambled on long enough....

[Nairb]

PMS? LOL!! That's a perfect acronym, buddy. Thanks for putting it together. I'm afraid that'll become a staple of Nairb's vocabulary. :)

Of course I won all three novice races Saturday. I lapped everybody. I'm not bragging about lapping Novice; no way. I'm just saying that I would've had to try VERY hard to even get 2nd place. I just wasn't in the mood to spend some of my 4 minutes (1 less than usual, even) waiting for the kids to catch up. I was there to race, so I raced. Anyway, I never got all 3 of my deserved wins when I was in Novice (I only won the A once, then I moved up), so I think I deserved to take another one. Next time this happens, I'll definitely race Mod.

Uh oh. I think it's time for a financial-restraint lesson. Why? First, I bought a new BAD-A$$ servo last night (Air 94357) for $111, but that was with cash from sold college books. This is the crazy thing I did. I bought a brand new XXX. Uh huh. For $250!! Actually, I got it out of the "used" case. It is brand new, though. The guy bought it and some hop-ups (I can't remember them all, it's still out in the van), and put it together. He never got as far as gluing the tires on. There's not a scratch on this thing. This baby is brand new. So I payed $250 for a newly assembled XXX, plus titanium turnbuckles, an extra pair of Holeshots (unmounted), a few pinions, and ALSO a brand new Warlock stock motor and an Airtronics 94737 servo. Oh yeah, the body is painted, too. I'd say it was a pretty good deal. I have over $3000 left on my credit card, but I don't want to go out and buy everything I want. It might be a while before I race it, but at least I have one now. Let's see, I need an ESC, receiver, BK bars, titanium screws (I gotta have 'em eventually), and some other stuff... This may take a while, but you never know. :D I'm waiting until tomorrow before I sneak it in the house without my parents seeing it. They may not approve...I don't want to upset them. ;)

Who's racing Saturday? I'm gonna go early and check out the on-road action.

[ 05-10-2001: Message edited by: Nairb ]

[Roach Racing]

i thought i might try to run onroad this saturday, but we are going to work on our track down here. So no racing in magna for me right now :(

I think I will come the next saturday though. but who knows.

[XXXER]

Now, it is Nairb, the not-so-financially secure one now eh? Just kiddin, wow, so you got a XXX, be prepared to have the smack down laid upon you! Ti-Scruz, gimme a break, you know, that involves taking the whole stupid thing apart again? Ugh, well, those Stainless steel ones i bet look pretty slick, i may have to get some of those for my XXXT(when and if i get it).

Corey, when will Vision be ready for racing? Also, what times will they be racing, i vaguely remember, that last year, it was done on Tuesdays....? I could be wrong, i will try to make it out there sometime also.

Later guys, i am out.

Oh, racing on saturday, have not talked to my parents about it, but i know that i have to go to my grandma's house and do some B-Work, you know what i am talking about, so it is still in the air.

[gacjr0]

It's a slippery slope Nairb. Next you'll go to the shop to get a pair of brushes and come out with a coupla mods and a dyno and a lathe and...

[XXXER]

LOL, not much anymore, i got your e-mail brian, mr. 'Oh, these? these are nothing, i get them all the time, you know.....seeing how i am sponsored.' LOL, just kiddin.

also, i talked to the Parental Units, and it appears that i shall not be gracing IR/CR with my presence this week, which is a bummer, so wait, is next week Memorial Weekend? If so, i do not know how i can handle a racing withdrawal that large, meaning 2 weeks, WHOA! :eek:

[Nairb]

"I talked to the Parental Units..." <--I love that dude; pure brilliance. :D

[derekjr_1]

Right on NAIRB. You finally got a buggy. That's kewl. I can't wait to teach you a lesson in buggies. J/K. You going to run novice with that thing to get used to it?

I probably can't make it out there today, but we'll see. I am flat broke, so I will need to find a way to get the $7. I'll post later, but it doesn't look good right now. :mad:

[derekjr_1]

Well I am back, OFFICIALLY! I guess I can show up tonight for the races. All you guys are probably allready there, so you can read this later but I will be there! It's 2:36 right now and I am leaving around 3:30 or so. Hope I have enough time to practice! :cool:

[Nairb]

Well, that was fun, except for all that darn tranny rebuilding. Sheish! I officially ended up 3rd in the stock truck A-main and 4th in Mod truck. Mod truck was pretty fun. I officially broke only 1 axle roll pin and toasted 1 diff gear. At least I didn't fly into the wall or a pole like some other people I know... ;) I'm curious to see how much faster my new mods are going to be. I think they should be faster for sure. Anyway, I'll see you guys next time.

[ammoace]

You guys are having entirely too much fun. Just out of curiosity about how many people are racing at your track? I say your track because after reading this thread it seems that you normally clean-up the podium positions.
Best of luck,
AMMOACE

[Roach Racing]

Thats becuase only the good people get on here! Around 50 I think on a average night.

[XXXER]

Yeah, on Saturday, we had 10 races, but back in winter, we were having waaay too many(which is a good thing) and it was nice when i would not get home until 12:30 AM or later, we would have about 120 racers there, and it was a blast!

I am still getting the ropes on Stock Buggy, but i am getting better, though last week was a joke, i won the B-main, but man, it was Novice racing IMO, the people that i raced were craptacular, except for Ron(who got DQ'd, lmbo, those there know why). It got pretty ugly when lap traffic did not move over(well, just one kid) after having the track owner, and marshalls telling him to move it over, so i did something that is all to new to me, hack, on purpose too, i put him right into the wall on the back straight, i did not feel good about it, but it still needed to be done.

This track configuration, i will not miss, what do you all think? I like the bite that we are getting out of it though.

Nairb, that was below the belt with the mod motor and wall thing :eek:

Also, ammo, there are a lot more guys at Trinity Trash Talk, but us few guys like this BB better.

BTW, Derek, did you get your lazy (_l_) an A-Main win yet?

[gacjr0]

Nairb, RC CAR says get a P2K Pro you motor cooker. Good Luck. How long ago did you ask that? I seem to remember something about you and Chrome Stock/GM3/P2K.

[Nairb]

It was around two months ago, gacjr. Well, good thing I DID get a P2K Pro. :)

I really like this track design. It isn't my favorite, but I think it's pretty cool. I've got it down pretty well. I can hit that last double just fine with my stock truck pretty much the whole race. It was a lot easier to do Saturday than it was Wednesday.

[ammoace]

WOW 120 racers at one track at one time!!? I don't think that there are 120 R/C cars in Abilene let alone at a track. Oh wait, the track hasn't been built yet. :( :mad:
You guys are SOOOOOO lucky.
Later,
AMMOACE

[derekjr_1]

Triple Xer > No I qualed 7th in a-main and got 6th. Jeff got 7th behind me and he qualed 1st. The reason is radio trouble. My steering would go complete right and throttle all the way and I was in the wall and all over the place. Someone must of had there radios on. And same thing happened to Jeff, but worse! He would go and then loose complete power (no motor) and so around 3 min he just pulled off the tracked and waited til it was over! Sucked so bad. Oh well though I will get it on WED. And by the way I killed everyone in stock the last time I raced and got a really nice larger than usual trophy. Ask NAIRB if you don't beilive. Later's man and you are doing very well in stock. That b-main win you were completely smooth pretty much. Right on Triple-XER, you rock! :)

[derekjr_1]

Hey kewl I got to start the 13th page. This thread is cooking now. :cool:

[Nairb]

ammoace, he means 120 entries. That means there were certainly less people there because lots of people run multiple classes. Yeah, we get pretty dang good turnout in the Winter, but when it's warmer outside, the attendance suffers. Not because of me, though. I'm ALWAYS there on race days. :D

What's this stock stuff you're talking about, Derek? I'm a bit confused...

[Roach Racing]

You know as opposed to Mod Novice. :D

Ok Guys I started a new thread for Utah Valley. I will post race info and pictures when we are done with the track.

[XXXER]

But, then again, with summer, they have the On Road stuff to do, and last saturday, it looked like almost 10 races were held, and also, if they get enough people, they will run a 'Gear Box' class(meaning, Off Road stuff racing On Road, how cool is that?)

Ammo, just get some guys in your area to go race in front of Wal-Mart, or K Mart, somewhere, and go race, make flyers, with your LHS's name on it(get their discretion first of course) and you are bound to get a crowd, then you can hand out flyers, have some guys doing demos, and others answering questions, and of course, displays(letting them touch it, and see what it is all about) if you are brave, let them race one, with slow batteries and stuff, you may not get a track, but you can help out.

Also, bring along an RCCA, so they can see what other classes there are in RC, i have almost thought of buying an on road, and getting some buddies together, just to do this.

[derekjr_1]

NAIRB > OOOpps, Sorry I made an UH OH. Ohh well, whay I really meant was NOVICE. I just get typing and you never know what I can come up with.. HEHE oh well. :D

[Nairb]

OK, who's goin' today? I am...I think.

[derekjr_1]

I can't make it tonight because I have to go with my dad to look at a new house. ***** , but I will be there SAT night, HOPEFULLY. I can't wait til may is over. I am so busy this month it is crazy! :(

[XXXER]

Well, since i have not before, i won't change a good thing LOL, i love racing, but this saturday I will not be going also, oh well.

Derek, come on, you know what gets *'d and stuff, don't post it.

[derekjr_1]

All I said was $ucks!

[Nairb]

It's such a regular word for some of us, that we can't possibly drop it from our vocabulary at the drop of a hat. We don't even realize when we're saying it.

Tonight was fun. After a couple of hard battles with Chad (yes, I' serious), I ended up TQing and winning the main. The moral of the story: if you crash less in a stock class full of good drivers, you'll win. It was close for me because I stuffed it into the pole at the finish line at least 5 times in each race.

I may be going to Wendover for a friend's birthday on Saturday, so I may not be at the track. Let's get together and go to the race in Twin Falls, Idaho a week from Saturday. I think so far that Chad, Dan, and I are going. What do you say? Corey? Guys? I'm gettin' the info from Chad. It's just on Saturday, so you know.

[ammoace]

xxxer,
you make some good points. We have a track that has been in the planning stages for months now. It is supposed to be i a huge parking lot but I doubt they ever finish it. After talking to the guy who is heading up the club/track there are a lot of "closet" R/C operators on base. I seem to be one of the few that will take my T-Maxx and RC10Ls to the biggest crowd of people to "show off" trying to get more interest. It is hard to get beyond the stigma that these are vehicles are NOT toys.
Later,
AMMOACE

[Roach Racing]

Brian - THE RACE IN IDAHO HAS CHANGED DATES!!! Dont head up there just yet. I think it has been moved to June 9th. There are a few of us from utah county that are planning on going. We head up there for all thier races. Its a fun track, very big, you get like 12 laps in 5 min. Are you talking about chad from Ogden? Ineed to get a hold of those guys and make sure they know about the date change.

Corey

[derekjr_1]

I would be down to go if it was june 9th and I had a way to get up there (BRIAN???).. If it was a week from SAT (memorial weekend), I couldn't make it cause I would be camping!

How much does it cost?

[Nairb]

Crap, now I'll have to find out about it. Corey, is it indoor or outdoor? Probably outdoor, huh? Do you remember if it's wheelchair accessible? The Chad I'm talking about is the Draper-Chad. He's a cool guy.

Derek, if I go, I'll definitely give you a ride.

[Roach Racing]

Brian - its outdoor, Its not wheelchair accessible its a high drivers stand with steps. sorry dude.

We have like 5 issues of rc nitro at vision I dont know when i will be up but I could grab you one.

Corey

[Nairb]

What a load of crap. Time to send a lawyer with the ADA over there... It kinda pi$$es me off...no, it really pi$$es me off. Sorry, but it does. :mad: :(


Corey, is it the July issue? Can you at least set one aside for me please? I've gotta have one of those. Hey, why don't you throw them on the dyno and save me the BEST one! j/k :)

[XXXER]

Derek, i know, sometimes the net-nanny is set a little too high, but i understand.

Brian, is the race a 2 day'r? If not, you know to count me out. As for a ride, you have the shaggin wagon, we could pile all of Utah in the Horne Bus Line's bus, LOL. I would be down with it if it is not a 2 day'r, still need to talk to the 'Parental Units'(you know how that goes)

Ugh, only 10 official school days left, will i make it? Probably not.

[Roach Racing]

Steve this race in Twin Falls is only one day. They hold one in the fall thats 2 days

corey

[XXXER]

Sweet! I would be up for that!

No racing for tomorrow, i need a break either way, you know, from getting my butt kicked :p

Also, just some cool info, My High School won both state championships for Girl's Softball(3 years in a row :eek: ) and Boy's Baseball, they are both 5A division(the highest). If you ever read the newspaper, we have one of the best boy's baseball pitchers in the US, during the game, he averages 89-95 MPH :eek: !

Bummer file: Our Soccer Team did not make it to finals, they lost yesterday to Jordan!(ugh, the rival school) and the previously-ranked #1 Brighton was beat by Bingham, so this year's state champs was a bllowout for the soccer title. My best friend is on the Varsity Soccer team as the keeper, when i picked him up today, i did not talk about it, nor did i even mention it at all today, he is usually pretty hard on himself.

[XXXER]

Well, boys, i hope you have a nice time racing today(those of you who did, or are)

Nairb, did you check out the on road action? Is it pretty cool?

[Nairb]

Yeah, it was fun. Tony Huber sure is fast. He took all three races in stock truck. I was his closest competition, and I wasn't all that close. :) I ended up getting 2nd tonight. It makes me happy to hand Spike his buttocks on a platter, though. :D I used to think he was good. :p I beat him every time.

I didn't watch on-road today, but I was there when the last few guys were leaving. There was a lot bigger turnout today (compared to last week), because the TCS race is tomorrow at WVH. I can't believe these people who just show up for the big races. That really annoys me. :) I'm hooked and I can't NOT go. ;) See ya next time...

[XXXER]

Nice job brian, I know how that goes, after April Fool's, the turnout died, lemme guess, the Hardy bros raced today, right? Yeesh. Hey, when are you goin to get your buggy running? I had a dandy time watching my nephews last night, and i do not think i would have made it racing last night anyways, i was out cold at 11 PM(I stayed up til 3:30 on friday, woke up at 9, plus i had school on friday, i was burned out!)

So how was the track? Dry as ever? I know it will be the week after memorial, it always is.
Did Derek show his crack up to race? how did he do?

[Nairb]

You mean Curstin and Nate? Yep, they were there. Where's the dedication, boys?

I'll get my buggy running as soon as i can get a C2 and an XXtra receiver. It'll be a while. :)

The track was great. No too dry, not too wet. Derek wasn't there, again. I think some boys need to get a job. ;)

[Nairb]

I forgot to ask something... Steve, what pinion do you use with your stock motor in your XXX? I've got them all from 15-24. I don't need anything bigger, do I?

[XXXER]

nope, go to chat, chump, i see you are on-line!
I use 21-22, I need to get a larger spur for my 20, i am sure 20 would be great

[Nairb]

What size spur do you use? I went to chat 20 minutes ago and you were nowhere to be found. :confused:

[derekjr_1]

WAZZUPPPPPP????? Hehe, just a quicky post. Nothing else better to do at 11:00 on SUN night while I am teaching myself C++ programming. It is really interesting.

I got to start busting my booty in school. I got all my info for what I need to do to transfer to the UofU computer science department. Man that is some hard stuff I have to take to get to that point. Ohh well though, at least I LOVE school. It is so fun.

Sorry this is so off topic, I am just messing around. Later's, HeHe :p

[Nairb]

I hope you enjoy it, Derek. I got bored with it in CS 1. :) I think my love for computers was a temporary diversion while I was away from my R/C stuff. As soon as I got back into it, my interest faded FAST. That's just me, though. ;)


Hmm, look at mine and Steve's numbers... UH OH! :eek: :cool:

Man i want to be a moderator, I geuss I can wait till I put up my own board.

[sammyh71]

Brian,
I noticed in the magazines discussion that you are looking for the nitro mag. Go to MRS Hobby in sandy. They have a bunch. Also, check out a letter about pipes from your's truly :)

[Nairb]

Thanks for the suggestion, sammy. Can you give me the address of MRS hobby?

Your letter must be in the mag, eh? Nice. I'll check it out if you check out my pit tip in the July RCCA. :) I don't even know which one they picked yet...I guess I'll find out soon enough.

[XXXER]

The Adress for MRS is, 7th East, and 94th south, i think, it is the same East as Jordan Commons, just a little more east of it, and it is in the little square with Denny's, it has yellow signs. When are you heading over? I can be there in 10 minutes you know......

It is pretty cool, no Losi stuff though, but they have Slot Cars! Which are a blast, but they are down stairs :eek: And I am not sure if you should tackle those.

Yes, you passed 1300 before me, and i apologize for the chat thing, i was there, and my internet shut off, and my dad said pretty much, oh well, do not turn it on, act of god ;)

Sammy, i almost have Bruce's car together, i HATE HPI instructions, lowsy things are just pictures, no words, like my Losi kit. It is a breeze, all that is left is the radio plate + electronics.

EDIT: I use the stock yellow spur(82) tooth. I plan on getting an 84 so i can really gear lower, with a 20 tooth, it does not
quite reach as far as it could

[sammyh71]

I'm heading over there after work. Gonna order a new engine. if you're there you can't miss me. I'll be the biggest guy there.

[XXXER]

What car needs a new engine? Bruce said that your 1/8 thumps! Is it for the Super Nitro? that is the only car that i would think of that needed one, what engine do you have in mind? Do you ever go check out West Valley Hobbies? I should see if i can pull bruce downt there, so he can get some gas, that thing will be done by this weekend i tell ya!

[sammyh71]

I'm replacing the HPI .15 FE in my super nitro. I liked the O.S. .12 CV-R that I have in my MT Racer that I'm going to put one in the super. Bruce is bad luck!!! The only time anything has ever gone wrong was when Bruce was watching. Friday my glow igniter died when he came out. Saturday I fouled a plug then lost the retaining screw that holds the carb in. These things only happen when he is around. :mad: Anyway, light a fire under his butt would ya? He needs to get that thing going.

Brian. did you get a copy of Nitro yet? Are you going to make the switch to nitro?

[Nairb]

Yeah, I got the mag today. Sorry, I didn't realize you had posted here about possibly meeting me there. I saw part of the slot car track and itwas pretty dang cool, but those damned stairs are right in the way... What a pain. Because of that, I won't be going back unless I have a VERY good reason.

Sammy, I'm gonna read the mag, but I'm sticking to electric R/C until I'm filthy rich enough to afford the gas stuff I want. I had to get this mag so I could read about the twin engine T-Maxx, 4 stroke GT, and SteveP's 1/5 scale racer. They all sound so dang cool I couldn't miss them.

Hey, I'm gonna check out the specs of this awesome little power supply I have sitting around. I don't think it'll be enough for a charger, but it might turn out great for breaking in motors. Speaking of motors, I got my two new mods all soldered up and ready to go. Woohoo, this oughtta be fun! Anyway, the PS is one I made in my High School electronics class. It's pretty sweet and I'm pretty proud of it. I just hope I can use it for something.

[XXXER]

Brian, you got your mods from SirSpeedy? Are they cool or what? I think new motors always look cool right out of the package

Sammy, i will, that thing will be done on saturday, if not earlier, i did not know about the adendum to put thread lock on the cltuch nut, so i have to do that

[sammyh71]

Steve, Use threadlock ANYWHERE metal threads are involved!!!! I cannot stress this enough. If not the vibration will shake it loose and you'll end up with parts falling off.

[Roach Racing]

Short Notice but we are racing in Utah county tonight. Check the other thread for details.

Corey

[XXXER]

Sammy, i know, but the engine came all assembled, i only had to put on the silver washer, and the needle bearing, and clutchbell, the clutch, and flywheel, etc. was already on it when it came in the box. Don't worry, i will get it ;)

Roach, next week i will try to get down there, and try it out once more, you race on tuesdays always, right?

[derekjr_1]

Hey I just noticed NAIRB and XXXER are tied on posts at 1316. Good competition boys!

[XXXER]

Ahhh, the heck with competition, i am so tempted to go and post like a mad dog, but i am trying to remember, 'Quality over Quantity".

But a good competition is not a bad thing, and i do not think that the Brianator has been on today....

[XXXER]

sammy, i finished the brucinators car, but he is at a family outing, so we can't break it in :mad: Oh well. I stuck that coreless motored servo into the steering that you gave him, that thing is nice. It is a cool truck, but we definately need to put 40WT. oil all around, I wanted to use 35 all around, but only had enough for the back, so i settled for 30 out front, it will probably be ok, but who knows. That car is sweet.

[sammyh71]

Cool. I checked west valley hobby the other day. The only fuel they had was 30% racing fuel. Not what Bruce wants. They have some HPI 20% at MRS. Tell him to go get some of that. That is what I ran in my Super nitro (same engine). SPeaking of engines my new one should be in. I found a cool place out by my house that will be perfect for running my MP-6 and NMT Racer. That's the plan for tomorrow. I got my MP-6 fixed and the battery packs are charging right now. Now that you've built a nitro you need to make the switch :D Later

[XXXER]

Hey! bruce said that you were out of town! Either way, i had him get some 16% Trinity Monster Horsepower, i had him get 16 because i thought 20 would be a bit much with summer comeing along, and i am not sure what plug is in it(hot/cold/medium). We got through the static break in, and one tank@ half idle. Should i start leaning it out, say a 1/16 of a turn? I have a feeling this thing is going to move! And the engine is surprisingly reliable(started the third pull, and idled teh whole tank). We have yet to stall it, and it starts the first pull, without a real effort. Also, Doug practically told me that i am what he is looking for(he had a help wanted sign, i pick up an App on tuesday). He knows me, and said I am what he is looking for. All i have to say is---- BONUS! :p

Hope to meet you sometime.
Steve

[sammyh71]

16% is good for that engine. Trinity makes good fuel thats what I'm running now only 25% The .15 FE is a great little engine. Since you won't have to fiddle with the low end adjustment, all you have to do is tune it on the top end speed. Make sure blue smoke is coming out. Start leaning it out only in small increments. Listen to the engine when it opens up. The drawback to that engine is the heatsink (or lack of a decent one) Since bruce won't be racing anytime soon reliability is more important than perfomance. I took both of my off-road cars out today. I'll be ordering parts tomorrow :mad: Actually the only thing I need is a new spur gear for my MP-6. There aren't any teeth left on this plastic one. Gotta get me a metal one. Good luck with getting that job

[XXXER]

Well, i was running it all over today while bruce was putting up his fence LOL. I am keeping it fairly rich, but there is sufficient amount of blue smoke, also, We have almost gone through a liter bottle already! There is 2 1/2 tanks left or so in the bottle. I am having a problem with havig good brakes, while not flexing the throttle arm a lot, that is all. The brakes are less than sufficient right now, i think i need longer fuel tubing where that little piece is, if you take a look at it tomorrow, it would be appreciated.

[derekjr_1]

Who's going racing tonight? Anyone?

[XXXER]

I might, and Brian said he will let me run his mod, BooYa! that is all i have to say(I just hope it is the slower, we all know what happens when i get one that is too fast :D )

Oh wait, NM, just remembered, i have the YearBook Stomp, hehe, Whooooa, dang near slipper my mind

[Nairb]

Dudes, you didn't come... Too bad. You missed a serious stomping of the stock class by none other than Brian Horne. :) I raced stock & mod, but I had a bit of trouble with traction. The track was way too dry, there was way too much loose dirt out of the groove, and my tires wouldn't hook up worth a crap. I really need new ones...

Dude, fast mod motors are so cool. I pulled wheelies down the back straight a few times. Now, THAT'S power! :D Chad & I are going to practice Friday night; anybody else wanna come?

[ 05-31-2001: Message edited by: Nairb ]

[XXXER]

Heeeeeeeeeeya! I will see if I can get out there for Friday, i had the Year Book Stomp last night, and there were some serious betties that needed to be pimped, by me of course. Brian, thanks for the E-Mail, i am turning the App in after school, well later today,it is only a 1/2 day, I am going so i can get more sigs that i did not last night. I will try to get out Friday Night, I mean heck, it is free practice, and i am all over that stuff! Summer, WooHoo!

Also, i am not Positive on the going or not, but Corey told me he told you about a Diff hotel that is only 30 Buckaroonies a night, which sure shoots down the other one.

I will catch you later on that.

[Nairb]

Yeah, yeah, yeah...now I know not to take anything you say seriously, Steve...

If you can't make it to practice on a Saturday night, there's no way you'll be going to Twin Falls, is there?

[XXXER]

My parents had to go to the hospital and visit my gramma, so there is my reason, i think it is a good one.

I will talk about twin falls with you today, i am heading out there as soon as i can, and this is for real, seriously, i am going to see if i can catch you on AIM.

See you later today.

[Nairb]

Sorry if I've been a little harsh in my teasing...I mean no harm, but I already told you that...

Derek, I never heard from you. Did something come up? BTW, at least Jeff & Wade moved up to stock, so your competition is getting easier and easier...

I might practice Tuesday if I can. I need to see if I've got my problem fixed. I'll tell you about it later (probably in-person), Derek, it's a long story & I wanna see your face when you crap your pants because of what I say & show you... :D

TTYL, boys. I need to wind down and relax a bit after my extremely eventful Saturday...

[XXXER]

Brian, i know, no worries man.

Derek will soil himself when you tell him :D But, i will not be heading out to Idaho with you guys, until then, look forward into racing with Evan :p I will try my hardest to get out to race on wednesday, maybe then i could pull off a win/show/place at least. That race of mine felt pretty dialed, i know i could do better, i should have taken third, but who knows.....

[Nairb]

Hey, does anybody want to buy my fairly new Dually? It's in excellent condition. Tell me if you're interested.

[XXXER]

I could probably look into that, if I get that freaking job :mad: I am going over today, to see what the heck is up with it, maybe it would find a nice home in my XXXT that I might get from Corey ;) That would be cool. I am going down their to check and see what is happening with that, plus, i am going to pick up some 25wt juice for Vision, which i might try next week, Sounds like they had problems with it the other day......

Either way, talked to pops and me mum, i can go to the track on Wednesday, PARTY ON! Catch you all there, cool?

See ya.
-Steve

[sammyh71]

hey steve,
what time are you going racing wed.? I'll probably stop by the track on my way home since its only 1/2 mile from my house :D
Thursday a few of us at work get together and run/race our cars. Last week we went to s. Jordan park. This week we'll probably go to an open field by our work. they just cleared it for construction. I won't have my MP-6 fixed by then but there will be me, bruce, and this other guy with a t-maxx and rc-10 gt. It's a lot of fun if you want to just come and check it out or bring one of yours.

[XXXER]

Sammy, I am going to be out there, oh, i would say 5:00 or 5:30ish, racing starts at 7:00 PM, and Signups start at 6:30, so i will most likely be there early, but, my guess is that i will find you, not you find me, Bruce told me you are a big guy, and hard to miss. Also, i picked up some 40Wt, so if i had Bruce's truck, i would bleed the shocks right now....

But, i do not, so if you see this before he does, tell him that i got some for him, so we can bust it in his truck. I have been waiting around all day, and yesterday, and the day before, for MRS to call me and say "Hey, come work for is" hehe ;) I talked to Doug yesterday, and he said that Linda is the one who calls, i was like, MAN! Ahhh nuts, oh well.

I can't wait for racing tonight, gonna be fun, Hey, Brian, if they are not running a Stock Buggy, will you let me borrow one of your mods? Thanks.
-Steve

[XXXER]

Well guys, i guess you are outta here for a few days, so good luck to you all, Drive safely, only on the way up, Drive it like you stole it while racing ;) I know you guys are going to do awesome, just represent us good!

Get back to me as soon as possible to tell us how you added up.

-Steve

[derekjr_1]

Unfortunetely XXXER you cannot go, but I think we will do the best we can to represent. Too bad I am the only guy running stock buggy but I got some good practice on WED night getting schooled by all you stockers. I will represent to the fullest though and never know whay can happen. Thanks for the good luck playa and **** . PEACE

[derekjr_1]

WOOHOO, here is my 100th post.

I am catching you guys (XXXER and NAIRB), but XXXER has the lead over NAIRB by just a margin. Laters guys..

[XXXER]

http://www.plauder-smilies.de/bounce.gif WELL? How did you guys do? Did you have a jaw dropping good time? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/eek2.gif

I sure hope so, I bet that Brian will be on later tonight, hehe, to tell me the results.

I want the low down, what worked, what did not, what tires, how many quals, how did you stack up in the quals? How was the drive? How did you finish?

WELL, WELL?

Look forward to the juicy info.

Derek, just try to keep shiny(in your case, cracked) side up, don't even think of catching up to us http://www.plauder-smilies.de/yellows/scream.gif

[Nairb]

Well, let me say this for now: "I LOVE my local track!" I feel so lucky to have what we have, and so close...

TTYL ;)

[XXXER]

WHAT? THAT IS ALL I AM GETTING OUT OF YOU?!!! That is it, now you got me steaming! http://www.plauder-smilies.de/devil/saburn.gif How could you do that to me? Uuugh. http://www.plauder-smilies.de/boid.gif Hmmm. you have the nerve, to get on and post a post, only to not tell me anything but that?

YOU chump! http://www.plauder-smilies.de/scene.gif

Oh well, look forward to the results! http://www.plauder-smilies.de/cool.gif I think i have too much fun with these, what do you think? hehe

[XXXER]

OK, I have waited long enough, now i am just going BONKERS! You have had your day to "Cool Off" But it has been a day, so you can tell me what has happened!

I have been on at least 10 times today, but still no reply, what is up man?

If you do not give in, i will find Derek!

[XXXER]

Ok, now, you are just buggin me.

Tell me the results, pwiiiitttty pweeease :(

[Nairb]

Sorry, I'm mjust sick of BBs. I'd rather just use AIM nowadays. This is my experience:

Yeah, Idaho was fun at times, but also very frustrating at times. First of all, I HATE wearing out a set of brand new Holeshots in 3 freaking runs. These babies are BALD. That annoys me alot. Second, the jumps were cool, but most of the ramps were pretty much non-existent and insufficient for the huge air we'd get, especially off the big jump over the straightaway. That jump wreaked a lot of havoc, on my truck especially. I never break big stuff, but I broke 3 things (both front arms, one at a time, and the rear T plate). Third, I HATE wearing out a set of brand new Holeshots in 3 freaking runs. I wore out two brand new pairs of tires in one race day, and I didn't even get to race all my qualifiers.

In stock, my first run was crap because my motor decided not to work. The second Qual was totally missed because I discovered my broken T-plate on the way to the drivers stand. The third Qual was a joke because I discovered a severely cracked a-arm on the way to the stand; it didn't last past the first turn. So after zero decent qualifying runs in stock, I was put in the C-main. How embarassing. At least I won it with my spare motor.

Mod truck was where the carnage took place. My square fuzzies didn't hook up worth a crap in the first qual. I missed the second qual because I was fixing my T-plate or something. The third qual was the first fun I had all day. I had my new Holeshots on, had just finished replacing an a-arm, and didn't have time to throw in my mod, so I raced it with my Warlock stock motor. It was nice. I kicked some butt on those overpowered trucks. I ended up beating some guys and I got 6 laps like most of the others out there. So in the A main I was kicking butt, until I snapped another a-arm. I finished the race with 3 wheels, but not on the podium. Oh well...

I had a little fun...but I'm not too worried about getting back up there, soon or not. : )

[XXXER]

Well, sounds like you had a great time on the track :rolleyes: But i still wish that i could have gone, sounded like fun!

How was it watching the Gas Races? I know it has got to be so loud!

I went the MRS today, and they took down the Help Wanted sign, Doug or Linda were not there to talk to, so i will head in again tomorrow... But, i did place an order for Shock Cartridges, and a Lightened Top Shaft dealy, so that will be cool, been a while since i have bought anything i did not need :p

Well, what about everyone else? How did you guys stack up?

While at MRS, i did take a look at the Panther Tires(they had a few kinds) And i really like the way a pair of these Truck tires looked, they looked just awesome, for our track, almost like Tapers, but a little different, looked like it would give more side bite, and the compound would be an experience(Super soft, Med soft) But all together, I liked them! They also had some Buggy Front tires that had like 5 ribs, that were low profile ribs, I might look into a pair of those...

[Roach Racing]

Steve the panthers that look like tapers dont work in magna. At least they didnt for April fools. They didnt have enuf tread to them.

Corey

[XXXER]

Dang, not even enough tread for April Fool's? Well, that is an idea that was shot down in a hurry...

Wonder about those fronts for my buggy though... If i get that job, i will have to try them out! The Foams that come with them look like crap though, i would need to replace those...

[Nairb]

Steve, I really don't know about racing with any of those Panther tires. They're all just weird copies of existing (and proven) stuff, except for the funky buggy fronts. Try them if you want, but realize you're taking a chance. That's extra risky when you're low on dough for this kinda stuff...

My truck's gonna be all ready for action tomorrow. It's already cleaned up (can't stand that durt & dust...), and I'm almost done repairing. Who's going Wednesday?

[XXXER]

I am confident in them, hey, if they do not work here, they will somewhere else. I always have my tires i have now, if they do not work. I have a pair o hoops waiting for them, and hey, if I get the job, who gives a rat's(_I_)? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/eek4.gif

[Nairb]

Man, that was FUN! It's always fun to lay the smack down on the stock class... I finished 2nd with 14 laps in the first race, and that was my worst one. The second race was when I opened a can. I finished 1st with 15 laps and lapped the whole field; TQing is kinda fun. ;) In the main it just got better. I lapped the whole field again and finished 1st with 16 laps. I definitely feel I've redeemed myself after a dismal weekend race. Ahhh, success... :)

I'm happy with 16 laps, but 17 is possible. After all, the track is very loose & not packed enough yet. I'm confident that I can pull out 17 in the right conditions. The track is pretty cool. I like it. Its only real jump section is a small tabletop followed by a double; it's about in the middle of the track. The track isn't necessarily flat, though. Right now you must be on your toes & in the groove or you're toast. It'll get better as time goes on.

I'll be there Saturday, will you? :D

[XXXER]

Who knows, i think i have to do a family thing, plus my Brother, my pop's and i are going to help out my Bro in law work on his truck, whoopty doo, plus, my parents have a church thing going on that night, so my guess is that i might not be able to get out there, but there is always hope isn't there?

BTW, nicely done racing, sounds like you are having a good time, Stock Truck points leader! Did you beat Chad?

[Nairb]

Of course I beat Chad. I said I lapped the WHOLE FIELD. That includes Chad, of course... ;)

[Roach Racing]

Well guys I am going to be out of town for a while and my website is going down for now and I dont know when it will be back up. So have fun and maybe i will come race when I get back.

Steve you still interested in that truck? Now that you will be getting employee discount. ;)

Corey

[XXXER]

Corey, I am not sure man, i need to get the job first! http://www.plauder-smilies.de/party/dance.gif I am confident in getting it though. My guess is that Losi is going to soon release a KE type Truck, but, if that does not come to soon, then i will be interested in it, but if you do have someone make an offer, let them have it, it is cool with me. http://www.plauder-smilies.de/cool.gif

Where are you headin off to? Sounds like it will be for a long time. Still do not know when i will be able head out to Vision, but i will race there at least once. Is the track good and ready for me?

I am off like a prom dress...

[Nairb]

Tonight was awesome! It was all good, except when my brand new MVP self-destructed in 1.5 runs. No worries, though. My freshly rebuilt Chrome was fast as heck, and proved more than adequate to lay the smack down with. (Hey, there's and idea..."TEAM SMACK?") Some real competition showed up tonight (a full 8-9 truck heat) and I was wondering how well I'd do against them. There was no need to worry, though. Who were the more competitive guys I was worried about? Oh, Mike Wood, Skyler, and some guy I don't know (he was fast, though). In the first qual, I finished second (behind Mike Wood) with 15 5:00. In the second qual I finished third with 16 5:18. I ended up third qualifier in stock. The top 3 all had 16 laps, and 4th was over a lap back on the pace. The main was when I pulled out all the stops. In the first minute, Mike and I were fighting for the lead. I crashed, then caught him. Then he crashed, and there was no looking back. I was never challenged again. :) I ended up lapping everybody but second & third (6 seconds away from lapping him, Dan), and that includes Mike Wood & Skyler. Needless to say, that made me feel pretty dang cool. My truck is so dialed! I love this track design!

See you Wednesday!

[Nairb]

I forgot to say that my A-main winning time was 16 5:11. That's my best so far. Will it last? Who knows... :)

[XXXER]

Great Job! You are doing awesome man! I hope with this new job, i will be able to buy all the cool stuff like you have, and finally get going with a car that WORKS right!

Either way, you are doing awesome, and keep it up!

Run mod, give Ron a run for his money!

[Jo_bomb17]

this is like one LONG chat between 3 people!

[XXXER]

Naaah, there is a little more people, there is me, Nairb, Derekjr1, SammyH, Roach Racin, and some other guys that come on every so often. This thread is old, and if we had it combined with the one in the regional forum, it would be 24 pages long. Pretty sweet, huh?

[Nairb]

Just for the record, I won again last night, but it was tough this time. Mike Wood led most of the race, but I was right behind him most of the time. We both had a pretty good race, but I was able to take the final lead on the last lap. Once again, 1st & 2nd lapped everybody else. It was a fun night.

BTW, I used my Holeshots on the front, too. They make the front end smoother, big time. I practiced with them 3 times, then raced the first qual with them, but I decided to try my directionals for the second qual. Big mistake. I was SO not used to them. My truck was way twitchy (lots of steering), and I ended up only getting 15 laps because I had to be so cautious. I threw on the Holeshots again to practice before the final, and I was in heaven again. I could drive that baby as hard as I wanted, and it did just what I wanted it to do. That was the perfect confidence-booster for the main. I think these tires will be staying up front on my truck for a while.

Who's going Saturday? I'll be there with all 3 of my brothers. This should be interesting.

[derekjr_1]

XXXER > Did you get the job at MRS? Havnent herd from you in awhile man, where you been?
:confused:

[XXXER]

Where have I been? oh my land, where have YOU been? Yeah, I did get the job, because, well, lets face it, i am a stud, when it comes to RC stuff, LOL.

I do not think I will be going out to the track, until it gets changed, every race i was in was UGLY! I think that was the third time i have broken my car in a main.

Either way, i need to go pick up my order, and make another for some Suspension arms.

[Nairb]

Derek, I couldn't get a hold of you Friday, by AIM or phone. Do you still have a cellphone? Can I have the number? I ended up watching the F and the F with Dave & Evan. It was pretty cool, I guess. How was Lagoon?

Well, the streak is over. I didn't win last night, it was tough. There were two full heats of stock truck for the first time in a while. I won my first heat, but my armature died during my second heat. I used that baby up; the brushes wore through ALL the copper on the comm, down to the plastic underneath. I ended up qualifying 4th, behind Mike, Tony & a Utah county guy (I don't remember his name, but he talks like he's g a y). I knew it would be a tough race because everybody in the A-main qualified with 16 laps and that should make it a cleaner race, too, but it wasn't. That was one CRAPPY race. It was WAY too nasty for the stock a-main. I got screwed a LOT, and ended up 5th or so. I don't know how they did it, but somehow 1st & 2nd (Mike & g a y-talkin-guy ;)) both got through the carnage and turned 17 laps. That's amazing...in a race like that. I got 15 laps for the first time in a while.

I hope Wednesday turns out better...

[ 06-24-2001: Message edited by: Nairb ]

[XXXER]

Oh No!!!!!!!!!!! The smacketh down has been laid upon the Nairbinator! What motor gave out? Your Chrome? How was that possible, that motor is brand new(well, close enough). I got my order in for my stuff, and it is all in my car. Is the track still junk to race on? If it is, I will not be out there any time soon... I am just going to be rebuilding my car up, you know, all that type of stuff, it is time i got my Ti's in, and i want some Losi black ball cups, i am not into silver, and RPM cups are too soft; I just decided to go with the Punishers, because in buggy, they do not take as much of a beating, and they have a package with Ti hinge pins(which, mine are looking nasty!) My ball cups are worn badly, so i figure, if i am going to replace those, then it is time for Ti. It also looks like i will be looking into some screws from Sir.

After that, it will be Equip that will get it, after a new body, because, i can't stand that red and yellow one, just not my colors.


Peace out ladies.

[Nairb]

Yeah, my Chrome gave out. It should've lasted a LOT longer... I had problems with it in Idaho, so I tried extra stiff springs and the REALLY hurt the comm. That cut it down pretty hard & pretty fast. I had Jerrit cut it and he said it was probably my last cut; he was right. It was great for 3 race nights, but it finally pooped out last night. I hope my new armature comes soon.

Yeah, the track still has tons of rough areas around the outside. I'm tired of them, too. It's all because of that dang storm & leaking roof. I hope the next track design is more fun...

Have fun upgrading, dude. I've got MIP titanium nitride shock shafts & new o-rings ready & waiting for my next shock rebuild. What kind of discount do you get on electronics? Derek and I are curious. Also, be sure to tell Tim that you saw my screws and that's what made you decide to get them. I need to talk to him about stickers...

[XXXER]

Of course i would tell him that i got them because of you! Hehe, maybe i can get him to sponsor ME (after i buy a set first) For my XXXT, if that ever comes.

About my Discount on electronics, it is probably the same, 30% off the MSRP(or, say, they are selling the C2 for 130, i would get 30% off of that.)

It was nice, after i bought the 4 shock cartridges, AND the top shaft, i got $6 off, so it only ended up being 14 bucks. hehe, i could get used to this.

They have some Dynamite hex wrenchesn there, that i really like, i am going to get the 3/32 and the 1/16, they are 7 bucks usually, but i will get them, for like, i dunno, 10 for the both of them. It is a tough job, but someone has to do it. The handles are big, and they have what looks like a good grip to me.

Sure, sure, get the Ti Nitride shock shafts, just to be the cool guy. Graphite, that is where the fun is baby yeah!

[Nairb]

Oh, graphite is where it's at? Good thing I beat you to graphit front arms, bulkhead, kick-up plate, and T plate, huh? :D

So did the cartridges come with the o-rings and stuff? I think I'm just gonna replace the o-rings and use the same cartridges when I go to MIP shafts.

Who's gonna go Wednesday? Derek? You guys probably aren't going to, huh? I might just race Mod truck or something. I don't want to keep using my buggy motor, and I've never tried my new Fury, anyway... This could be fun! Woohoo! :D

[XXXER]

Pfffffft, I have more graphite than you, and YES, it is where its at!

No racing for me this wednesday, seeing as how i can't at all.

You should do Mod, it will be fun! I want to give it a whirl too someday, i think it would be awesome!

[Nairb]

Hey, I might get my MVP today. That would be cool. I should probbly still try mod, though. I don't want to do both at once, though. That's a pain...

[Nairb]

Woohoo! Today is a good UPS day. I got two packages, when I was only expecting one. One was my MVP, with BLUE HEATSINKS! Yeah, baby! I'm probably the only guy at the track that has a REAL MVP. The second, unexpected package was a total surprise. Yours truly has a pit tip in RCCA TWO MONTHS IN A ROW. :D I got another coupon for six months of RCCA free, and another OFNA yo-yo. That's pretty cool. I hadn't even opened the August issue to see my name in it. I'm glad this tip is a much better one, and I thought of it all myself. :D

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful (& brilliant)... just kidding. :p

See ya, boys!

[Nairb]

I guess I consider this my journal or something, because I seem to be talking to myself a lot & I just keep doing it. ;)

Last night was pretty good. I won. I got my best time so far on this track, but I was robbed of my 17 lap race. In the 2nd qual I got 16 in 5:00.85; I made at least two idiot mistakes late in the race that definitely cost me an extra lap. That was a very good race, but I think I can pull out a 17 lapper before they redesign the track.

Also, I think I've sealed my stock truck points series win; before the mains, I was 30 points ahead of second place (Chad) and he's not gonna catch me. It is SO sweet to win the points series the first time I'm in them. But hey, it's pretty tough to beat a guy who goes twice a week, every week, huh? :D All I can say is that I can't wait to see my name on that plaque. ;)

Derek, it sounded like you were going to race last night. What happened? I'm even more surprised that Chad didn't show up. Can you believe that!? I can't! He ALWAYS comes.

See ya, guys. TTYL

[XXXER]

Well, how did it go? Run MOD you pansie! Let me guess, another TQ and another win? right? I got to work all day, poor me. You know i am totally kidding, work RULED once again. It was sweet, the last, ohhhh, hour, we raced Slot Cars, since it was not busy.

Pretty fun stuff.

[Roach Racing]

Whats up guys? I am back from a long long trip. I wont be racing for a while going to be selling old and buying new stuff. lets just say I should have a bunch of new stuff to whoop on you with. :D later.

Corey

[derekjr_1]

Hey boys, I am also starting to sell old stuff and accumulate new. The reson I could not race SAT night is cause I just got a new purple cylcone for the B3. That was my first move. Couldn't get a c2 beacuse I would rather have a $75 new purple cyclone, rather than a $140 c2. I am going to use the money for different things, but my new ESC is going to unload some power on stock buggy.. Next move, not sure. Myabe another motor and a Airtronics 357. Actually I need to get a body and titanium turns first. Well see though, so watch out. Later's guys.

NAIRB when is your buggy going to run?

[derekjr_1]

I thought I would post this really quick, this is the 400th milestone for this forum! WOW 400 posts and still going! When are we going to stop?

[Nairb]

Stop? Huh? NEVER! :D

Racing was kinda lame Saturday. The track was way too dry (Dave & Teresa are gone...). Courtney put all 10 stock trucks in the same heat all night long, and that was a mess. Whoever was counting laps messed up two of my races (including the main). The track is PAST GONE; it is a mess! on the north west sections, you had to almost stop to avoid spinning out, exen after is was swept. Needless to say, we had loads of problems.

I qualified 3rd, but got robbed of a 2nd or 3rd finish (who knows?) by bad lap counting. It wasn't all that fun. The track is in serious need to rebuilding. They BETTER do it next Sunday!

Corey, how much are you selling your XXXT for, and what does it include? Evan needs a truck bad, and his mom is gonna buy him one. How was Scandinavia?

Derek, it's good to hear from ya, bro. Good choice on the Cyclone. Where'd you get it, ebay? I've heard that XXtras have already shipped to distributors, so that means my XXX could be up and running VERY soon! Woohoo!

I might race this week, and I might not. I'm not too excited about that beaten-up track ATM... I might just wait for the next design. TTYL, boyz!

[XXXER]

Corey, definately sell your Truck to Evan, he not only needs it more than i do, i am going to go all new also. I am in a bind, i do not know if i should get a whole new buggy, and keep my old as spare parts or what, but that KE is too tempting.
Also, I have heard Rumors from some people that this weekend, at Mod Nats, Matt is running his new truck(yes, the FE). So, it looks like i have a lot to save for.

First, remote, then Ti, then servo, ESC, then batteries, motors, etc. Then a truck, and all the necessary things.

Wooooweeee, lots of things to buy, thank the man above for my discount!

Also, you guys know, if we combined both threads, we would have the second longest running thread, the XXX Forum, technically is the second. But, you know :p

If my powers good let me do that, it would be sweet.

I am still going to take a break from racing also, until i get to the Titanium stage in my upgrade. My new graphite suspension arms are in, just waiting for pay day to buy them. Woooohooooo!

[Nairb]

Guys, WHY THE CRAP AM I UP SO LATE!?

Sheish, go to bed you nutcase!! <-- you're supposed to say that...

[XXXER]

Holy smokes yes! You were up at 2:40? Good gravy! I was on at like 12 last night, and thought that was pretty bloody late too! Why were you not on AIM?

BTW, PRICELESS LMAO!

[Roach Racing]

Hey Scandinavia was coooo. Its good to be back you kinda get sick of hotels and buses after 2 weeks. I tried to go in hobby shop when I was over there the one I saw was closed when I went by, I looked in the window and all they had was Kyosho stuff. I couldn’t see any Losi or AE stuff. They might have had it in a spot that I couldn’t see.

I am not sure if I am going to be selling it just yet. I might not have a team discount anymore, if you want to know more about that I will have to talk to you on aim, don’t want to post it here. Needless to say it’s pretty *** !

I think I need to come race up there. I might in the next few weeks.

Oh my site is up again, no changes just back up. I really need to work on it.

Later

Corey

[Nairb]

I'll be looking for you on AIM, then. If Evan could buy your XXXT, he'd be set. Be thinking about it, ok? So, was Dave the only guy that worked at Vision, or did you too? I guess you got the discount through him, right? Hmm...sounds like a plan, Steve-O! ;)

I'm lookin forward to seeing you boys at the track again. I probably won't be racing until next Wednesday or so. Laters...

[Roach Racing]

Dave was the only one working there, I am(was? dont know yet) sponsered by the hobby shop. Thats how I got my discount. I might be up for selling it, I just gotta have enuf money for my MF edition when it comes out. :)

Corey

[Nairb]

Well, I couldn't stand it... My XXX is all hooked up now, with a C2 & XXtra, hardwired and everything. I decided to do it all tonight, because I just couldn't stop. How fun! This baby is low, sleek, and sexy! I'm definitely going to race it Wednesday; who else is going? I KNOW you buggy guys wanna take a stab at the HORNE-Dawg! Bring it on! :D

[Nairb]

Hehe...see? Other people slap with trouts... :)

My buggy is so sweet! I threw in a charged battery just now, so I could set up all the radio settings, and boo-ya, this baby has balls! I've got a 23 tooth pinion on my Warlock stocker, and I'm happy and kinda surprised to see how the tires deform at full throttle. Dang, it's gonna be fast. My new stuff rocks! Man, i can't wait to race it... :D

[XXXER]

Well, no go for me on Wednesday, and I will have to see what time i get back on Saturday. If it is late, I may end up missing the first qualifier, while busting on some Titanium stuff.

Hmmm, take a stab at the Horne-Dawg? How about a slap with a big ol' Trout? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/splat.gif Or i could poke at you a little bit... http://www.plauder-smilies.de/poke2.gif

[derekjr_1]

NAIRB > You got speed and i got skill. Well see man. My Cyclone should be here today. Also I am getting A BRAND NEW solder iron from weller for FREE BABY!! I called them up and the lady said to just send it in and she will hook me up with a brand new one. I am going to also pick up a stand at RadioShack. My new solder iron is going to be kept PERFECT this time around.

I am going to get my TI buckles very soon also. I need them bad. Next up, Tires, TI buckles, and a new painted body. CAN'T WAIT.

THAT is awsome you got your XXX runnnig though. I bet it is quick as **** . I cant wait to see the gear in it. LAter's.. :)

[Nairb]

Well, with all that smack talkin you're blabbing out, Derek, you're sure gonna be embarrassed when I wipe the floor with yer (_!_) this coming Saturday... :p

[Nairb]

Man, my cars are dialed. Are you ready to separate the men from the boys? :) This is gonna be fun. Just bring it!

[blegris]

At least he's not wiping it wid his (. | .)

Ohhhhhhhhhhh!! j/k man, it's all good.

Mista H :cool:

[Nairb]

The ROAR Regionals race is the first weekend of August; you (we) better get ready!

[derekjr_1]

Yeah I'd say. I want some revenge from that crap in ID. We better start practicing. Hopefully I do better.

MY CAR looks so much badder with the new lunsford TI buckles. IT ROCKS. Got my new tires too, next up the WORLDS kit..

[Nairb]

The new track is in and it ROCKS! I totally dig it. My best times tonight were 18/5:03 for buggy and 18/5:06 for truck. It's a fast track, but it's not flat. It's definitely fun. It's got two doubles and a triple, but the rest is pretty flat.

I won stock truck (lapped the competition when I finally used my new tires), and I qualified 3rd in stock buggy. It was going well until Derek got taken out and I slammed into him on the straightaway, which resulted in both of us broken and out of the race.

You better come out and try it next week! It'll be gone after only two more race days...

[Nairb]

Hey, did you notice that I was actually faster with my buggy this time? I think that trend may continue... ;)

[derekjr_1]

Guys that track DOES ROCK! It was so fun. That sux I got taken out and BACK STRAIGHT didn't get called for you Brian. Maybe you could have avoided it. I am pretty sure it was Matt Green who took me out. He wouldn't get of my rear end for nothing. Then he locked into my rear and took us both into the wall near the end of the straight. Later in the race he was forced to end the race early, and I bet it was because he broke something or loosened something when he took us into the wall. My rear, left Suspension Mount (Hub Carrier) ripped right off the screw and that is what took me out.

That sux, but ohh well, there is next WED. THe track rocks so I am looking forward to racing it again... :)

[Nairb]

Wow, we have the ONLY multi-page thread in this forum! That's cool...

Everybody's racing tomorrow, RIGHT!?!?

I'll be there, and my cars are READY TO RUMBLE!! :p Woohoo!! :D

[derekjr_1]

So XXXER is actually going to show up? That is a miracle. Dude I hope to come to get spanked, cause I am in SUCH a GREAT mood right now that nothing is going to stop me. J/K Just doing my trash talking BRO. Well cya there tonight. Hope you get there to practice! It's such a fun track.
:)

[Nairb]

Well, Derek, you kicked boo-tay tonight! Great job, bro! I still have the best times so far, though...

18/5:01 with stock truck
18/5:03 with stock buggy

Yes, I couldn't help it. I was faster with my truck again... I sure hope I can get 19 laps Saturday! I know I can do it with both; all I need is two good & clean races, which are definitely possible. See ya Friday! :D

[derekjr_1]

Yeah I was rocking last night, Hope I can keep up the good work. In the main, I finished with an 18 5:05, not quit as good as the second race which was a 18 5:03. Although on one of my laps I got a 14.8 second LAP. That made me feel pretty good about myself. :cool:

[XXXER]

Derek, you did KILLER last night! That was awesome, you really kicked some serious crap, way to go! So, what turn of mod were you running last night? :p Mine must have been SUPER low, to kill a 2400 2 minutes into the race!

Either way, nice job. Brian, great job in Truck too, when will you quit? You are unstopable man!

[Nairb]

Me, quit? Huh? ;) I plan on taking the streak through the regionals... I hope I can.

See you boys at the track Saturday!

[Nairb]

It's official, Derek. I got 3rd in the stock buggy A-main. I did NOT get dead last. It said I got 17/5:07 and that's total bullstuff... Teresa and I looked at the printout and found the error; there was one lap of 32.9 seconds, which was actually two 16 second laps. We fixed the paper (I got 18/5:07), but by then Skyler had already walked away with my $3, but that doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that I REALLY finished 3rd. Yes, I DID beat you, dude. :p One thing's for sure, I CANNOT WAIT to use transponders next week...sheish...

Steve, did you pay full price to race ONE race tonight? I hope not...but you did end up with a podium finish, right? Man, I didn't even podium in truck tonight; what a shocker, huh? That was some stiff competition tonight; that's a fact...

I'm ready for the new track, aren't you? See you Wednesday!

[Nairb]

I wish you all would quit slacking on your posting duties...

So, after 3 qualifiers (at the Regionals), I'm quialified 4th overall in truck & buggy. I was 2nd in truck for the first two rounds, but was surpassed in the 3rd. We've got 1 more qual tomorrow, so I'll see what I can do... :) My cars are feeling pretty dialed, and that is good. First I was using BK bars and Pink T-2000s, but I switched to square fuzzies on both cars and I think I'm hooking up even better. Me rebuild my shocks? NEVER! :D Who needs it...? My truck is going great without that extra help.

So, I'm all ready for tomorrow, I hope you are Derek. Crap, I think I'll have to leave at 7:30 in the morning! AAHHHH!!!! That's a LOT to ask of a slacker college student...sheish!

See ya!

[XXXER]

Excellent, that is awesome, well, you are pretty much in the A-Main--No doubt about that. I am trying to catch Derek on AIM here, but I think he must be off with Michelle :rolleyes: Where are you at? it has only been 20 minutes since you posted!

What about all of the other guys that are racing? Jeff and the bunch?

See you later tonight(hopefully) on AIM man.

-Steve

[derekjr_1]

Well today frankly sucked! First qual no breakage from car but brushes wouldnt touch the comm right AGAIN! Then Brian let's me borrow an MVP and it runs great. 2nd qual i got 5th but was only seconds from the guys ahead, except Jared who is just on FIRE. 3rd qual I was doing better and almost pulled into 3rd. Finished 4th and I am qualed 8th overall for the A-Main. Let's hope I can rock the a-main and pullout and UPSET cause if I get a podium finish against the likes of cliff, jared, digger, courtney (he is rocking) and Brian, etc it will definetely be an upset cause i am the underdog here. I am confident that I can, well just have to see and if I dont get a podium at least I can make the A-Main and do well. Later's guys.

[Nairb]

Cool, Corey. I'm far from burned out. I just got sick of talking to myself on this thread, so I decided not to post here until someone else did. :)

I did great at Regionals and had a lot of fun. I've been ripping it up in stock buggy & mod truck ever since...

I might be there Saturday, but I might not, since it's Suzi's birthday. I'll talk to her tomorrow to see if we have plans. If not, I'll definitely be there.

[Roach Racing]

Well it looks like regionals burnt out the utah boys. If any of you still read this who is going to racing on saturday? After a long break I think I am going to come play...

Dont know if I have tires or anything but I will be there to mess around. I'll have to see what the old T3 can do.

Corey

[Roach Racing]

you better be there who knows when i will get a chance to race again. :)

I have to pick up some bearings, I sold mine with that xxxt, hehe oh well.

Corey

stupid typos

[ 08-17-2001: Message edited by: Roach Racing ]

[Nairb]

Dude...I'm sorry I couldn't make it. It was such a busy day. I definitely wanted to race and hang out with you Corey, but special opportunities/obligations took precidence yesterday...

So, how did you do?

[Roach Racing]

how did i do? :(

my motor went to motor heaven in the main...

I cant spell

[ 08-20-2001: Message edited by: Roach Racing ]

[Nairb]

Hey guys, how have you been? Tonight was pretty fun. I only raced stock truck. There were only 5 heats tonight (!), but stock truck was full of competition. Let's see...there was me, Joel, Tony, Mike, Cody, Evan, Brandon and Chad. I did really well. I finished 2nd every time, behind Joel. I have NO IDEA how he does so well with freaking bow-ties! He sure rocked the house, tho. I did too, though; I was dialed like crazy with my square fuzzies. ;) I got 17 laps in the qualifiers; my qualifying time was 17/5:03. The main was sweet! I was in 2nd the whole freaking race, and not too far behind Joel. I spanked Tony and the other guys every time. :D Get this: I didn't get marshalled ONCE in the main. How does 18/5:14 sound?? :p I think it sounds pretty dang sweet. Now I've finally got 18 laps on this track with my truck AND buggy. FYI, I got 18/5:12 with my buggy at regionals.

Sorry, I just had to tell somebody. :D

[Nairb]

Hey, they're going to redesign the track Sunday! I hope it's cool... ;)

So, tonight ROCKED! hehe I got 18 laps with my buggy TWICE! I almost got 18 with my truck again, but missed by 1 second or so. There was good competition in both classes again, so it feels pretty sweet to win them both! :p I was the only guy to get 18 in the buggy A-main (3 qualified with 18), and Davey Lindsay was the only guy to beat me in the truck A-main (you know, he pretty much cheated by racin stock). He said he wouldn't count, but because he raced, I only got $6 for winning (over all the real stock drivers), which is crap... Oh well, it was fun, and I only had to pay $2.59 for racing two classes and getting $10 worth of parts. That was VERY nice. :D Joel was pretty ticked that i beat him in both classes tonight. BooYah! lol Yeah, tonight was fun...you sure missed out, guys.

[XXXER]

Well, this is how my schedule is looking so far. I work Tomorrow(friday), and my brother's wedding is Saturday, then, next week, I work Wednesday, and Friday, and Saturday. I am not worried by this, because, I am going to be making BANK on this paycheck! I have 70 towards my FE XXXT that we have in stock now...... But, looks like I am going to get that new 'Hellfire' motor tomorrow(May as well get one, going to need a new motor anyways).

So, I can smell the tires of my new truck already! It is going to take time, I can tell already. It is going to cost 115 for my radio, 120 for my ESC that I am getting(GM Racing V12 xc) and 120 or so, for my new Charger that I plan on getting(Competition Elecs. Pit Bull)


Wow, looks like I have some saving up to do

[derekjr_1]

Sorry I haven't replied in a long time, but...

XXXER what the @#!$??? Bad choices I think, only in my opinion. Not only do you not want a PITBULL. but why? My 16x5 is WAYYYY cooler and more features for so much cheaper. Wait you dont like Integy so what gives???? GET A MILLENNIUM. And with that discount of your you might as well get a MILLENNIUM PRO! How could you waste your money on a pitbull when a millenium is same and cheaper?? ASK ANYONE. AND WHAT the @!#$ on the GM ESC for $120? Dude I dont know. The only one that really used this ESC was Masami when we won worlds and that is his driving. I think you could get a better ESC such as the C2. Dude Why a GM and Pitbull? You looking to waste money? And with your discount I dont even wanna here about anything!

What a joke. It is gonna take along time. I need to save. DUDE IF i had the discount I would have saved along time ago. You have been saying you were gonna get a MFT the day it came out so where is it?

Think your choices over bro. Just trying to help.

[firebladerunner]

just wanted to let everone know the fall is on in twin falls it will be a two day race and the proceeds from the raffle will go to the red cross and I promise a track that will be awesome we are going in with a tractor to grade everything and get the track in primo shape plus I promise a layout that will not torture the cars like this spring and yes it will be treated but if you have the right tires they will last far better than three runs (local knowledge)

[Nairb]

Is that you, Macho? It's good to hear from you again.

I'm sad to report that after planning on this race for months, I'm not going to be able to go... :( Don't worry, though. Plenty of Utah guys will be there to mix it up with ya. Have fun!

[Roach Racing]

Hey macho you have mail.

Brian anyone in Magna get their MF - XXXT yet? I am still waiting.

Corey

[Nairb]

Yeah, dude! IR/CR got 6 and had them all sold last Wednesday. Where the crap is yours? Dude, it's so bad... You're gonna dig it...

[firebladerunner]

yes it is macho I am sorry to hear that you won't make it this year I sure look foward to having everyone show up for this race. and I did get the day off for this so I will definitly be racing and not just a spectator I have heard that magna is going to be closed that weekend is that right?

[Nairb]

That is correct, Macho. Teresa is telling everybody to go to Twin to race that weekend. :)

[firebladerunner]

that is to cool do you have any idea as to how many people are planning on coming? I have big plans for the track this time also the layout is going to be decided by commitee (whoever shows to put it in ) but I promise a killer layout this time no more 40 second lap times I hope

[Nairb]

This is for sure: more Utah racers will be there this time than were at the challenge in June. :) As far as a headcount? I have no idea...

[Roach Racing]

well unless the stock market does a major turn around on monday I wont have the money to make the trip to idaho this time. :( that will S U C K cause it will be the first one i have missed in a while!

[XXXER]

Corey, so did you get your FE XXXT yet? Tomorrow, I am ordering mine(Heck yeah!). Today, my paycheck was a LOT bigger than I expected. So, I am going to be ordering it tomorrow, and it will be here next Friday. What sucks, is I will have a sweet, built truck, but, will not be able to run it.(Lack of electronics will do that to me).

After my truck, comes the Radio, then ESC for my truck, I guess it will be a C2. Well, keep it real guys, Brian, get on AIM, for crying out loud, where are you?

[firebladerunner]

the dates are sept 29-30
I did not go to boise because I had to work sat. and sun. they would not let me take off that many days in such a short period of time also to anybody planning on coming please you may want to bring some extra wheels we have tires out the wazoo but not a lot of wheels and as far as 40 second laps times I did not mind that as mush as the track was to tight and hard on cars wich will change I promise at least until after the last main

[gacjr0]

Hello Utah!

What are those dates again, Macho?
Why didn't you show at the State Champs? You spanked some of those Boise slackers before. You could have done well. What's wrong with 40 second lap times?

Good to hear the Magna track is active.
Any races coming up?

[firebladerunner]

just got done putting the track in it is real nice as stated by those who drove it the track is a little rougher than I would like but not bad the length is 567 feet and about 32-35 second lap times wich will definitly come down as the track will be treated before next sat so I am happy

[Roach Racing]

Holy skylar in the new RCCA, look in the letters in the front for a pic of the local boy. Looks like Ben sent it in.

Corey

[XXXER]

Hey, Corey, may as well be the "Utah" Edition RCCA, check p. 133, Last Lap, guess who else is in there :rolleyes: Dunno who he is, but he sounds like one cool guy!

[Roach Racing]

I see your name but not you face. You almost are as cool as skylar. :D

[Nairb]

Sweet! It looks like our thread made it through the conversion... BTW, this new program s pretty sweet.

Dudes, Derek asked Teresa to think about a Sportsman class at the Utah State Championship Race in November. She might do it...we'll have to see...

[derekjr_1]

I really hope she does do the sportsman class with handouts! That would rock. I would be up on that one. It sux we never have a handout race. Not to mention then it would be down to the driving of the racer. I doubt she will do it but she did say she will look into it. I think if there is enough support (Which I am sure there is) then she would be more likely to consider. So we need to keep pushing! Later's guys.

XXXer5 > Too bad you cant race the Utah State Champs.

[XXXER]

YAHOOOOOOOOO I am back ladies and Gents. My account was one that was lost through the migration process, but here I am(not a moderator though, but, I think steve will make me one again, as soon as we get crap figured out).

Yeah, too bad for state champs, oh well.

Brian: Why can't I get to you on AIM? My only guess, would be you decided to pack up, and go to Idaho?!

Well, I guess I should have saved my money some, but, I decided, what the heck, and bought a new body, and some paint, and crap. My friend that I work with is probably airbrushing it as you read! I cannot wait to see how it turns out, it is going to be rad.

See you a week from Saturday guys!(Unless, State Champs are a week from saturday?)

Write back please :)

[derekjr_1]

Dude, Brian is not going to ID he is chillen with the ladies.

Did you get the xxx-t MF yet? Or is that what you meant by blowing money. Sux dude you have been talking FOREVER! WTC?

Are you ever going to get some new stuff? Like that sweet truck? Letme know dude I am just curious what you are going to do. You going to start racing more?

[Nairb]

Yeah, I was hot-tubbin last night. It was pretty fun. Idaho would be cool, but right now isn't a good time.

Dude, Derek, Steve got something on his list last time he went racing (Wed?). He placed his order for his MF XXXT on his way to the track. Then...he burned up his Fusion ESC while trying to practice, so he cancelled his truck order and bought a C2! Dude, he HAS something COOL now! LOL!

I think I'll be racing Wednesday and Saturday next week, so I'll see you whenever... I hope Losi sends me a happy e-mail Monday! ;)

[Roach Racing]

Yo Corey! How are ya? I'm STILL expecting Losi to e-mail me back and tell me they'll send me a new graphite chassis for my wheeler. I hope they reply this week... :(

Well, a lot of the locals went to Idaho, but none of us RCCA Zone-ers. I heard last night that Utah racers took home ALL BUT 2 of the Idaho state championship trophies! LOL! Crazy, huh?

We've got just over a month before the next big race up here. I'll paste in what I got from Teresa:

See you there, or earlier, dude!

Dood, Brian, what is wrong with your chassis on your wheeler now?

Also, my check was not as big as I was hopin', but, still good enough. How are your funds right now, and how about purchasing a chameleon now? I think that is what I am going to do with this check, and jam the rest into savings. I know that you are going to be gone this weekend, but, that is okay, because I am working tomorrow anyways.

I got asked to the Halloween Dance, and, it is a day that I am not working... so, count me out for racing on the 27th, but I do not care, it is going to be a blast. I love when I do not have to do anything for a date, except show up :)

Tell me what you think bro!
Also, Corey, you need to head out to the races sometime soon, eh? Racing is getting a little dull around that joint!

[Roach Racing]

I wish I could get out more often, but working full time and going to school 2 nights a week I am pretty busy! But I am going to try and make it ok before state.

Corey

[firebladerunner]

hey guys what's up? I am looking foward to going to utah state I as just wondering what is the current tire of choice??? buggy and truck please.,

THANKS!!

[Roach Racing]

macho, I am wondering the same thing. I havent raced in magna for quite a while.

Steve, after looking closely at it, I realized it's broken right where yours is on your XXX chassis. It might be solid enough to last for a long time, but I'd rather get a new one. That might not happen, though.

About the 19-turn "sport mod" class, I think it might be fun, but I'm not in the position to be buying ANOTHER motor right now (9 good ones is enough). If I DO get a 19-turn spec mod, I'll either get the Chameleon 2 or the new Peak/Orion 19 turn spec.

So you're not racing the 27th? Are you racing this Sat or Wed? I will plan on being there early this time. BTW, how can you say "racing is getting a little dull around that joint!"? Fetch, bro...you've been out a couple times in the last few months. I think it's starting to pick up some more and it's just as fun as ever. It will only get better because of the big races coming up.

Corey, I don't think you told us if you've got your MF XXXT yet... DID YOU!? I look forward to racing with ya again sometime, dude. I think I might just race mod truck at the state champs, and stock buggy. I'll do mod wheeler too if I can get it ready in time. That's a simple dinero situation right there...

Tires, guys? Well, M3 Holeshots always work well on any car. When the track is very smooth and grooved pretty well (like I'm sure it will be), square fuzzies work great on the buggies and trucks. Pink BK bars will work well on 2whl buggies sometimes, but they work anytime on a wheeler. Some people try to use red X-2000s and T-2000s, but they never work as well as Pro-Line tires. Pink tapers tend to work pretty well on a smooth & grooved track, though. Fronts? I like pink fronts (directionals on the truck). That should just about cover it... See you at the state race!

[Roach Racing]

I havent got my MF xxxt yet, I will have it this week. So I should be out in a few weeks. See you then.

Corey

[Roach Racing]

Now I have my mf xxxt, I will be out
