[LosiMan3456]

No I cant go on friday I have a funeral to go to. Oh well to bad.

[JoeTheShmoe]

bummer.

[JoeTheShmoe]

well, got all my stuff packed up tongiht. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

[LosiMan3456]

How did it go?

[JoeTheShmoe]

Well, once i got my steering to work right i did ok. But at the end I hit the wall at the end of the strait away (just past the start/finish line) and broke an A-Arm.

[LosiMan3456]

Well I went on tuesday and man was my car hooking up great! Hey are u running bald tires? If u arent shave them bald. I just got some 4WD holeshots ffrom proline and mounted them on 2WD wheels. Then use a dremal and shave them bald both front and back. then buy some Trinty touring car tire stuf that makes the tires sticky. If u have more questions about the tires ask. Anyway U know where the banked turn is? well I came around that and hit that one jump. I stopped in that gulley part next to the driver stand just before u turn to the table top in the center. I was going to see if my motor was getting hot( trying to gear it right) and when I hit the throttle it popped a wheelie. I didnt get the wheels down in time to turn and BBBAAMMMMM!!!! Right into the wall. I also broke an A-Arm. It sucked! oh well

[JoeTheShmoe]

Lol!! Now i have a few extra sets of a-arms cause i CA glued my broken one back together. Yea, i know it wont be as strong, but it will prolong the spending of 9 bucks on a new set. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif Im not sure the next time im comming up to race. (not soon enough!!) It will probably be when western has spring break, cause my cousin will want to go then, and i can ride with him.

[LosiMan3456]

Well I just went on Friday to practice. I went with my friend and he brought his EMAXX! Have u ever driven one of those? They are a blast! It is really awesome to shift down the sraights and in the air to keep the nose up. It is SWEET!! Well I broke another A-Arm. This time I bought graphite and changed both of them. C ya.

[JoeTheShmoe]

I just traded my rustler for a nitro RS4, (should be here by the end of the week.) so i gotta convince the guys at the counter to set up parking lot races for tc's! http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

[LosiMan3456]

Sweet! Good luck on getting parking lot races. Hey talk to Riders they do some outdoor onroad nitro races! In the summer I might go watch some.

[JoeTheShmoe]

i need to oreder some parts for mine.. Right now my list is $200+

[JoeTheShmoe]

You gonna race on sunday? Im pretty sure thats the free practice day. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

[LosiMan3456]

Yeah I went on saturday did u. It was pretty fun. Were u there? My pit was right next to the track exit. Right on the corner if the track. I had my triple x with a red body.

[TechnoJesus]

Hey guys, i was just @ RnL the other week... I checked out there outdoor track.. It's cool, but a little small. Is there any others in the area?

-tj

[LosiMan3456]

Hey Techno nice to see there are other people in the area. Yeah the outdoor track is a little small but it is pretty neat. Umm, do you know where Silver Street is? It is in Vicksburg. It is in the RC CAR ACTION directory. It is called the "Vicksburg Off-Road R/C Speedway. The address is 50201 Silver St., Vicksburg MI 49097. THe guys name is Tim and his phone number is (616) 323-7963. I have been there once and the track is pretty neat. It is huge. Twice the size of rnl track. They have this awesome triple. They may have changed it though. You should go check it out some time.

[JoeTheShmoe]

man, since i got my nitro rs4 i havent even dusted the ol' b3 off! Whatabummer!

[JoeTheShmoe]

I won the novice main on saturday! Im happy. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

[LosiMan3456]

Awesome!! I got bumped up to buggy stock at the trophy race. I went and raced April 7. It was my first time in buggy stock and guess what, I beat my record of laps and time, I qualified 5th out of 9 and placed 6th out of nine!! The guy beat me by like 5 tenths of a second. We were both on the straight going for 5th. I felt I did goo though for being the youngest buggy stock kid there!

[ducklake1]

[JoeTheShmoe]

They are gonna be racing outside sometime, and it is free im perdy sure. (its free for a while anyway.)

[LosiMan3456]

Yes it is Free. I believe they start in may.Second and fourth saturday. I am not suere though.

[LosiMan3456]

Hey Joe how hard is it do get into Nitro? What is the maintenence like? I have been looking into it. right now though I dont have enough money.

[JoeTheShmoe]

well, as long as you can tune an engine good, then it shouldnt be too bad. But, if ya cant get the engine tuned then it wont run and becomes very frustrating. The get lots dirtyer, but it is better not to always have to change a battery and wait for an electric motor to cool off.

[LosiMan3456]

Cool when I get older I want to get a 1/8 scale Gas buggy. They look awesome! They are fast too. Don't you have to wait for the gas engine to cool down though????

[JoeTheShmoe]

not if you tune it right

[JoeTheShmoe]

Hey guys, this thread has been at the bottom of the pile for a while. Just wanted to put it back to the top. And i need to know who is gonna be at RnL tomarrow (friday) b/c im gonna be there! :)
