[JimmyMac]

Good racing today. Congrats to the winners. Tag, I forgot to ask you about some stuff today. So I sent ya PM on RCTech.

Kenny, here is the link for the aluminum steering knuckles for your car. http://www.speedtechrc.com/store/ebproductdetail.asp?catmainid=337&id=1060 But I know how you are... so part number is... Square (company/brand) STV-35. All ya gotta do is click the link and look at the part number.... They are very durable. I have a set for my TA05.

Glenn, for your car, try out Associated Purple Springs Front and Red Rear. That's close to what I'm running on my Cyclone. I also have a part I can give to since I don't need it. It's a rear toe block. I'll give it to ya next week. I don't need it because it's purple and I have a Blue one already to match my car.

Catch yall next weekend...

[JimmyMac]

Glenn... I don't need the 12L4 chassis... I'm gonna run my Hara 12 chassis conversion.. But I still need the screws if you can get them...

[John Tag]

Looks like no rubber class this year as there were only limited enteries.. I'll be on foams there too.. It's me and you again Justin... :wave:

[justin lessard]

2 florescent orange alfa's....hehe

[John Tag]

Ok new rule.. Rule #Tag-10OK After race is complete,please stop all cars till track is TOTALLY CLEAR then proced to continue after race practice.. This will ensure no broken cars.. Yea I got 1st hane experience last night after main when going to retrive my car as I bent over my car got nailed and went flying 10 feet.. After inspecting car today..Result broken rear tower.. So lets all be more carefull.... :D

[npresme]

AWE your first broken Corally part, you better get used to it....I had someone hand me some cash after you left to make sure you don't finish anymore races!!!!

[John Tag]

Cool... Just wait till next week.. Good thing I didnt redo roll out before main I got side tracked... I was of by full MM with diffent set tires... Then I could have completed drag race pass...LOL

See ya'll sat..

Anthony back to the bench for you.... :wave: :teacher:

No I think I will have the spinning out problem fixed..I have been on IM today!! LOL :teacher:

[chance]

Did brushless run rubber tires?

[justin lessard]

they ran foams...

[JimmyMac]

Rumor was they will keep running foams. Even though rubber tire is the cheaper and easier way to go. But the cars would be a tad slower. I dunno what the official word is though....

[justin lessard]

Tag-ygpm

[BitStream]

What cars generally get used on the carpet? Xray T2s and TC4s?

[BitStream]

And to follow that up, does anyone locally carry a T2 in stock? Glenn?

[npresme]

Well there were T2's, Corally RDX's, HB Cyclones, Tamiya's, Shuie's, AE tc3 and 4 all there Sat.

Its really a personal choice.

Any and all are very capable of running up front.

But I seem to recall Glenn having a T2 in the hobby shop a few weeks ago.

Or you can wait until the end of the month I know there will be some GREAT USED CARS FOR SALE....

[Tarheel]

There will be a new xray car at the end of the month like Anthony said. You might pick up a good used T2 then.
Glenn

[npresme]

Glenn can you order something for me?

X-ray 305431 front belt for T2

Also can you check and see if Horizon now has the 26mm jaco 2 stage tires. They are the same part numbers as before but now are just 26mm side. (4156 and 4160) If so can you order me a set of each also?

Thanks!

[John Tag]

You better get 2 sets Anthony there great tires/wheels....

[npresme]

Ok Glenn order me 2 sets and put both on Tags account! LOL

[npresme]

You better get 2 sets Anthony there great tires/wheels....


Well after my IM session yesterday, I feel alot better about the Parma tires... Plus the set-up I had on the car was WAY to DUG in. I WILL be turning 24 laps next trip...OH I feel sick already! :roll2:

[John Tag]

Let me know if your going sat.. I might just have to run 25 ...LOL

[Tarheel]

No prob. Thanks
Glenn

[Ron Zee]

I hope to see a few more 1/12ths out there soon. Mine may be slow but I like driving them things,,, seems to help me with driving the "bigger" ones. But, I still gotta stay offa them flappers. Coulda caught Todd if I wasn't bouncing off of them every other lap,,,

[JimmyMac]

Still waiting on the parts for my 12th scale. I'll have a carpet chassis for my AH12 Hammer. And I'm still waiting for the word on the BMI chassis for my Cyclone... Hey Tag... pull some strings for me!!! hehe...

HOPE to catch yall Saturday. Not sure if I'm gonna have to work or not.. We shall see...

[justin lessard]

Tag -ygpm

[Tarheel]

[Tarheel]

Mine says the page cannot be displayed. :confused:
Glenn

[Ron Zee]

Hmmm, looks cool. Maybe I should get me a new bumper,,,,

Hey, what's gonna get run this weekend? Just wondering which cars I need to mess with,,,Oh,, I gotta battery to put together,,,,

Ron-equalize the cells before first charge,and dont put that light bulb on them...lol

[Tarheel]

Sorry it took longer to post results this week. Have been buisy with new coke machine, get drinks, clean up track, clean up tire mess, bla, bla, bla.
Results posted on web site: www.glennshobbycorner.com hit results button. Still have'nt gotten my car ready. Darn.
Glenn

[JimmyMac]

Damn... no lap times!! haha... Who took the results last weekend?? Tag???!!!

[Dee]

Geez, by the time I can go racing again, the Mini's will be turning 18-20 laps! :huh:

[John Tag]

No.. I had no need to see my lap times.. I had my front bumper too full to let loose lap times for 4 1/2 min till I choked... I bet there was a 12.5 in there if I got loose..LOL Man I still think that was a insane battle.. Darn Kid....

Jimmy I did see them by Justins pit...

[BitStream]

Does anyone have a setup sheet for a TC4 on the carpet I could use as a starting point?

[John Tag]

Not off hand but, Purple front springs, cooper rears, 2 hole pistons and 50 wt oil with stock mounting points on shocks and camber links.. 0 front toe, 2 deg front camber ,1 1/2 rear camber ,4 1/2 mm ride height and 2 mm up travel all around will get you REAL close... Hope this helps Gear 27 mm for stock...

[JimmyMac]

Darn kid!!! haha No I asked him, but he said no. Not unless if he was hiding something! Like fastest lap! hehe.. Tag, did you ever get my PM on RCTech? Or should I resend it?

Mannnn looks like another weekend without the BMI chassis!!! Oh well, doesn't matter. I'll be working this Saturday anyways. So maybe I'll get to run the mains only hehe. That or maybe the Bmain and try to bump up to A? Hmmmm. Maybe I can have my 12th scale ready by then? We shall see...

[John Tag]

Yup soory forgot to respond.. Next week I should have what ya need..Sold all this batch again..been nuts.. I do have Justins here..LOL

[justin lessard]

I do have Justins here..LOL
your building them right.... :D

[JimmyMac]

What about the dischargers?

[justin lessard]

who's in for 19t this weekend?...I wanna get some laps in with a 19t before the halloween classic...

[John Tag]

Looks like Im out for this weekend.,. Got ton of orders to fill before sat with today being a large receiving day... Justin I will contact your mom tommorow or so about trip and I will have your stuff built for ya... Thursday night bus leaves.. Total was 248 enteries Justin so be ready for battle...:)

[Jewett]

I plan on being down there this weekend to run 12th and mini. Is there any rules I need to know about the mini class. I know right now that it is any Tamiya hop up parts but I was wondering about the tires and the batteries.

will be first time running both...could use some help on a starting point on roll out for the 12th scale. I was thinking somewhere around a 2.00. I just need to get in the ballpark and I can work from there. See you Sat.

Glenn do you have any 12th scale bodies.

Randy

[John Tag]

Hey Randy.. Cooper rules 4200 max on batteries and slick or stock tires..

1/12 roll out 1.75 is good starting point...

[John Tag]

Jimmy Mac.. Your stuff you needed is done for China...

Justin I got ya a 1.245 @35 for Classic.. Now give me room..LOL

[JimmyMac]

China??? What the hell... It's Japan!! haha... Think Tamiya, not Associated!! haha...

Like I said before, I have to work Saturday. But I'll make it to the track before the mains. Maybe even the 3rd round. I dunno. But I'm not sure if it'll be 12th scale or Touring car. So catch yall there...

[John Tag]

I wont be there gota work many motors to tune for next weekend and boxes to ship..Jimmy I can ship to ya be a lot easier that way you can ship to Japan...

[JimmyMac]

No prob. Just shoot me the price and I'll paypal ya. I have a few things to add in my care package to Japan.. :D

[npresme]

I wont be there gota work many motors to tune for next weekend and boxes to ship..Jimmy I can ship to ya be a lot easier that way you can ship to Japan...


Yeah yeah, we know the truth. You are staying home to dig thru the cells to find that "ONE SPECIAL" pack so YOU will have it for the halloween!

[John Tag]

Oh there were many..But I just took 1 more...LOL

[JimmyMac]

Ron, setup your 12th scale for me and I'll race it when I get to the track Saturday.

I'll catch yall sometime before 5pm I hope. At least I'll get dinner at Logans....

[Ron Zee]

Set-up? The silly things dialed! It's the driver that has the problems!!

As for the mini class, all Tamiya hop-ups are allowed as per the TCS rules. The tires and rims should be Tamiya mini rubber tires but there has been a car there running a set of HPI mini rims with Tamiya tires on them,,, like a rim is gonna make a difference,, so we let it run. Stock silver can motors are what we have in them for motorvation. Basically, if you follow the TCS rules, your okay to roll.

[JimmyMac]

Well had fun today even though I had to work and came in late to the track. Thanks for letting me run your car Ron. It drives pretty good after I turned down the dual rate. It's alittle tricky/slick at the start of the race. But after a few laps, you can drive the car pretty hard when needed. Now you just need to take out the Monster Stock and toss in an Express Co27 and toss the GP3300 packs for some Express IB4200 cells and I'm sure you can drop a second per lap!! hehe... :D Can't wait to get my Hammer12 running!! But anyways, the car is good. Don't change the setup.

Congrats to all the winners. There was some great racing tonight. And I'm sure there's more to come!

Anyways, I "should" be there early next weekend. haha.. right.... But if things work out as planned... I will be early. Plus hopefully I'll have both my 12th scale and Touring car ready. So see ya soon!!

Oh yeah.. Glenn.. I need some battery bars. Do you have any left? And I also need 2 Deans pigtails. I gotta build 2 packs and send them off to Japan next week... So I'll stop in Monday after work...

[Tarheel]

Good racing last night. Congrads to the all the winners. Jimmy, see you monday. Results are posted with lap times this time. www.glennshobbycorner.com hit results button.
Glenn

[John Tag]

Justin.. I see you were slacking this week.. 12.7 come on.. Track is getting better every week.. You better start wrenching for this weekend..this old man plans to school ya..LOL

See ya thursday kid.. Your packs will be build tonight..

See ya'll in 2 weeks..

[lowbugit]

Had a good time racing last nite. Car was alittle better than last time out, but really think Mark had the winning car I just was alittle more lucky. Brushless is looking better all the time Mick is really coming on fast as are all the guys. Looking forward to it only getting better. Thanks for the paint job Mike, he does really good work. I did'nt have to squint as hard to see my car. Looking forward to Sat. Kevin Mac.

[justin lessard]

Justin.. I see you were slacking this week.. 12.7 come on.. Track is getting better every week.. You better start wrenching for this weekend..this old man plans to school ya..LOL

See ya thursday kid.. Your packs will be build tonight..

See ya'll in 2 weeks..
yeah i was slacking alittle :D ...I did'nt work on my motor,or run good tires all day....But I did find an awsome setup!...If I would have cut the motor and put good tires on the car..12.2 easy.....and It just so happens that i have been wrenching on my car all day...fresh diffs..spur gear..cleaning every little part...pretty much took the car back to kit form and rebuilt it.

Oh,Tag do you have tires...and a parma alfa...or can you get one before the classic?...hehe...n/e ways...If you can get me a body I'll pay ya for it....see ya thurday!

[John Tag]

I got a body here if you need.. I can bring it with us... Tires there will be hundreds at Track also.. But body I do have here,tires I got some but not enought for what you need..LOL I tried calling today..I left message have mom call me tommorow night.. I got your stuff all built today..

[Ron Zee]

Okay, so I was wrong,,, it has to be TCS legal to run. That means NO other manufacturers stuff on your mini. There was also another thing brought up today, that the tires used on your mini which are made by Tamiya of course, but they all have to be the same on all 4 corners of the car. No one kind on one end and another on the other end. Sorry about this but it is in the best interest of the class to run it this way. This way anyone from anywhere that runs minis using the TCS standard, can come and run with us with no problems. We'll all be the "same". I saw on the Tamiya website a whole bunch of stuff one could use to "upgrade" their car. Some of it is just bling, but a few things can help in the dependability department. Like motor heat sinks, universal axles, the battery holders (which I have and love, they make it so easy to change a battery,,) and more.
As for my 1/12th,, hard to belive I have 2 cars that are more than capable of winning! My 415 did it with Justin at the wheel, and last night, my 1/12th with Jimmy driving. Maybe I should be letting someone else drive my mini,,,,, :confused:

Anyhoo, had a good time running last night, and maybe soon, I'll be able to run my 415 again. :driving:

[Tarheel]

Cyclone S front oneways came in today. I only have two left, so if you need one, better get it soon. $39.95
Glenn

[nomac]

does the cycloneS have cv joints or dog-bones?

[JimmyMac]

dog bones...

[chance]

Is brushless going to stay on foams, or are you guys still thinking about switching to rubber?

[axrayed1]

I'm staying on foam's if brushless goes to rubber I'll just go back to brushed.

[lowbugit]

I think I would prefer to stay on foams as well. 3 weeks same set of foams very little wear. I don't really think the savings will be worth the setup difference between the two. I have heard that the rubber tires performance drops off long before they are wornout. So what you will have is some running on new rubber out performing those on older rubber, same problem as always will apply you will have to buy new ones to get the performance back. Just an opinion. Kevin Mac.

[borntorace]

foam's all in favor say i

[chance]

Cool, I just needed to know which car to work on. Hope to see you guys Saturday.

[Tarheel]

Looks like foam wins out.
Glenn

[Ron Zee]

X-Patterns for all the classes!!! Oh, wait, that was back in '99 at Nahunta,,,

Oh well,, better go get some battery bars and build my 4200 for the 415,,,,

[John Tag]

[Ron Zee]

Had fun this weekend, had a good run in 1/12th with John. Okay, so we both tried to occupy the same spot on the track at one point and it seems I got the better end of it, but hey, the car was going great! And for once I stayed off the walls and flappers more than usual and held on to the win. But, man was he comming on on the last lap! I definatly would not have been able to hold him off another lap. And Laurie,,, sick fast mini there. Todd and I were talking earlier in the day and he thought that 18 laps would be hard to do. That was before Laurie went 17 with a 5:03. Sick fast,,,,

Anyhoo, see you all next week. I think I'll try driving my 415 again. It's been awhile,,,,

[JimmyMac]

Reggie, I got it from Jason. It's a very nice kit. I ran it this weekend and the car felt better (flatter and less snappy in the turns). I just didn't bother tuning the car or tossing in a different motor. I was trying to put together my 12th scale inbetween heats and calling a few races. I'll concentrate on it more later. But it's a must have for carpet. Just be sure to get some Tamiya EvoIV/415 suspension shafts or some T2 front suspension shafts to the rear of the car. Jason moved the rear block back farther to allow the arms to be moved back further. So the stock Cyclone shafts are too short in the rear.

Well my 12th scale ran pretty good. I wasn't under the clock in the main. But a few said I was posting some fast lap times. Everything will be ready to roll next weekend.

Glenn, can you order me a set or 2 of some Parma 12th scale foams. #16032 for Grey Rears. And #16020 for Purple fronts. That's what I ran yesterday.

Congrats to all the winners yesterday. Had fun. Catch yall next weekend..

[JimmyMac]

Hey Ron, I'm gonna give ya an old 4cell pack. Actually it was a 6cell pack. But one cell was bad. Its a 3800 pack. I'm hoping that it's better than your 3300 pack that keeps dumping on ya in 12th scale. So we shall see.

[John Tag]

Justin great Job this weekend in Ohio... Hey now give my car back...LOL Glad you liked the car,you did real well with it 4th in B main stock touring with 260 enteries.. I told ya my car was good,Just needed a wheel..LOL Now sat I will be driving it right past ya..Ha Ha Rember what we learned this week nothing but 12.2s this week...:)

[justin lessard]

[chance]

What kind of roll out are you guys running with the 13.5 motors?

[axrayed1]

What kind of roll out are you guys running with the 13.5 motors?
Chance I'm running around a 28.5 there are some running higher but this works the best for me.

[chance]

Thanks Mark, that will get me in the ball park.

Glenn, you got a 13.5 motor is stock?

One more question guys, what's the tire of choice? I'm still on 28mm Jaco tires, purple/orange front and purple rear, that was the hot setup a couple of years ago. Are these still even used anymore? My vintage ride needs new shoes, I've got no clue what to buy.

[justin lessard]

parma cyan magents's are a good easy to drive combo....indigo and magenta's are a little more aggresive...and magenta fronts and rears are super aggresive.

the jaco 26mm wrap is an awsome tire....they are my choice for stock and 19t,nearly all A main driver at cleveland were on jaco 26mm wraps.

[chance]

Thanks Justin. I'm looking for even wear front to rear, wouldn't the magenta front and rear wear unevenly, or at least wear the fronts out well before the rear?
I like the way the purple/orange and purple tires wear down evenly together. Do the Parma tires have a harder outer edge to keep the fronts from wearing to quickly?

[Tarheel]

Kenny, i had to take my wife to the doctors in Charlotte today, so i will order your tamiya parts tuesday. I'm having trouble getting on p-dub site and can't order from them yet. Chance, i have a 13.5 in stock. Cyan and magenta tires from parma are working best. See you all saturday.
Glenn

[borntorace]

thanks kenvin

[John Tag]

I will do that call tommorow Justin...

FOR IMMEDIATE NEWS RELEASE



Bob Novak from Novak Electronics Inc & John Tag from Express Motorsports

This week on RC Race’n Radio

[JimmyMac]

Chance, I run Parma Cyan front and Magenta rear. The Cyan's have a hard outter edge. Car feels good with them on. As for tire wear, I started off with new tires cut to about 57.5 mm for the first qualifier. By the end of the mains I was down to 56.1mm. The only tire off was the rear right tire. It was 56.5mm. This tire has the least amount of load obviously on the track. I didn't even bother truing the tires after each round. I just rotated left to right. But not every round. If you want the car to feel more aggressive, then switch to Indigo fronts instead of Cyan.

With the new 26mm Jaco's, you gotta start them off taller. Maybe 58mm or taller. But it's suppose to be an awesome tire. I'm just wondering what the offset is. I'm sure some of the guys would like to start off even taller to get more runs over the weekends. But I run a new set every weekend. I figure less than $30 for tires and $15 entry fee... so less than $50 a weekend to have fun is no biggy. :D

[JimmyMac]

Hey Tag, you got connections at Novak?? If so, call Novak and get me a GTX case and on/off button! I still haven't replaced mine since I broke it last year? at Frederick!!

Just means you'll be even faster haha.. damn.... I might have to start getting to the track in the morning to practice!! haha.. right... That'll be the day!! Hmmm maybe this Saturday!! YEAH!!! I'll be at Rosewood Saturday MORNING!! haha!!!!

[Ron Zee]

I've been telling him that he should be using a different car. Every time he drives mine, he goes and TQ's or wins with it, and that's with an older model. Hate to imagine what he'd do with a newer model,,,, Oh wait,,, there is an X-Ray at his house,,, LOLOLOL :cool:

[John Tag]

[bmelton]

25 in stock this week....who will be the first to crack the 11's in stock :)
anyone who runs 11's in stock is cheating like hell :rolleyes:

[bmelton]

Tag-is you have talked to rob michals let me know whats going on,and what I need to do,or send in....I wanna have at least a race on the car before the champs!...
uhhhmm, maybe you should just look up the phone number and asked to speak with him. Maybe something like "Hey Rob, this is Justin, I met you at the Halloween classic this weekend. It would be great to be a part of Team Corally if think you may have a spot for me. I plan to attend alot of the big races coming up and trying to learn as much as I can"

That would get you in the ballpark.

[justin lessard]

anyone who runs 11's in stock is cheating like hell :rolleyes:
you will see 11's in stock.....maybe not this weekend or the next or the next but 11's in stock will come...I doubt I even get down into the 12's this weekend...I'll be driving a xray!....yuk! :D ....

[JimmyMac]

I think he's used to being spoiled.. haha.

I'm goin for 37 laps in 12th scale with some 12's in there. Hey Tag, can ya bring me a 12th scale tuned motor this weekend? I seem to have lost one of my CO27's somewhere. My 12th scale is just about done. Had to fine tune everything. So look out Ron!! I'm gunning for ya!! hehe

[npresme]

you will see 11's in stock.....maybe not this weekend or the next or the next but 11's in stock will come...I doubt I even get down into the 12's this weekend...I'll be driving a xray!....yuk! :D ....

I got an Xray in the 12's.....So the "best stk. racer" should be able to tune himself in the 12's!

[John Tag]

Anthony.. I think Justin was looking to break into the 11's with a bump draft.. Last time I was nice this time it will be a full shove down the straight :wave: ...LOL "Move it or loose it" :teacher:

[slakr]

Hey there folks...

Can anyone help with a starting carpet set-up for a TC-3?

A buddy of mine wants to come out to Rosewood, but we have been unable to find anything for a TC-3.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Tim

[John Tag]

Hey Tim... I belive you want a 100 spur gear to start or there so.. and try to roll out about 26-27mm. Chasie stock mounting points are fine to get started as for shocks and camber links. 50 wt oil front and rear coper rear springs and purple fronts set at 4 1/2 mm ride height and 2 mm droop all around ,aslo 2 deg camber all 4 corners and 0 toe..

[slakr]

Thanks John.

I almost have my Cyclone S ready for the maiden test drive. I just need to do some soldering and paint a body.

Anyway, I think I will drop by Rosewood tomorrow to watch a few heats if I am still in the the good graces of my boss (my wife of course).

My buddy with the TC3 (his name is Felix by the way) might stop in as well, but he lives in Fayetteville.

-Tim

[JimmyMac]

Tim, I think you have a very very good screen name!! You need to get off your butt and come racing!!! Don't worry, I think Glenn likes your screen name too! I built and installed his electronics for his Cyclone S and he STILL hasn't raced it!!! haha...

[slakr]

Jimmy,
Ya, my screen name fits...
At least I publically admit it!
I will be down tomorrow to catch a few heats and get the remaining items I need. Maybe I can get some tips and pointers from you or maybe you can finish the Cyclone for the old SLAKR! (JK)
I need to figure out what pinion gear I need to run on the Cyclone with the 13.5 brushless motor.
Did you install a pinion on Glenn's Cyclone? How many teeth?
Next weekend I have to work, but my plans are to be there racing on the 18th.

[JimmyMac]

First off I told Glenn to toss on a 100spur. That away I can help him with Rollout since that's what spur I run. Your pinion would depend on your tire size though. Goin by what someone suggested (for brushless) of a rollout of 28.5mm... and say a tire size of ohhh 60mm for example... you'd need a 37 pinion. At 58mm tires, you'd need a 38 pinion. At 56mm you'd need a 39 or 40 pinion. If your tire is taller than 60mm (and I hope it's not) then you would need a pinion smaller than 36. A 36 pinion is the smallest pinion you can run on my Cyclone with a 100 spur. That's as far as the motor adjusts in the car. You would need a larger spur.... say a 105 spur to go smaller on the pinion. Kit spur is uhhh 98? So are even more limited on how small you can go on your pinion. Maybe 37 or 38 pinion is the smallest you can go. Anyways.... hopefully I didn't confuse you toooo much hehe...

[slakr]

Jimmy,
I have not trued my tires yet. So I will use as a starting point of a 60mm tire size with a 100 tooth spur and 37 tooth pinion. I'll also pick up 38-40 tooth pinions.
You motivated me enough that I now have the radio gear installed (receiver, servo, ESC & transponder). I also installed and soldered up the motor and a deans plug on the ESC battery lead. I suck at soldering. I need to true up a set of tires and paint a body and then I guess I am out of excuses.
Somebody will definately have to explain "rollout" to me. :teacher:

Glenn,
I will need a 100 tooth spur and 37 through 40 tooth pinion gears for my Cyclone S.
I hope you have some in stock. I would like to pick them up tomorrow if you do.

-Tim

[npresme]

U mean the T2 I will be driving :eek:

Justin, something for you to take as a little advice.

I heard you didn't run TC today.

Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Meaning...

If you are done with the one ride, don't Count on or wait on the "OFFER' to follow thru.

If you are going to the Champs and are done with car "A" you should have RAN car "C" today since car "B" is still not a done deal. That way if the "offer" falls thru you would have some time on car "C" before a MAJOR race......so you aren't lost there with what that car likes and doesn't like vs your driving style.

BTW my Losi JXSR-R was shipped today. I will have it Fri. for an all day practice session! :eek:

[reginald68]

Reggie, I got it from Jason. It's a very nice kit. I ran it this weekend and the car felt better (flatter and less snappy in the turns). I just didn't bother tuning the car or tossing in a different motor. I was trying to put together my 12th scale inbetween heats and calling a few races. I'll concentrate on it more later. But it's a must have for carpet. Just be sure to get some Tamiya EvoIV/415 suspension shafts or some T2 front suspension shafts to the rear of the car. Jason moved the rear block back farther to allow the arms to be moved back further. So the stock Cyclone shafts are too short in the rear.

Well my 12th scale ran pretty good. I wasn't under the clock in the main. But a few said I was posting some fast lap times. Everything will be ready to roll next weekend.

Glenn, can you order me a set or 2 of some Parma 12th scale foams. #16032 for Grey Rears. And #16020 for Purple fronts. That's what I ran yesterday.

Congrats to all the winners yesterday. Had fun. Catch yall next weekend..thxs on info jmac

[John Tag]

[John Tag]

No next week I will just run the gun in my box..It will have 2 weeks rest by then..Yea I will club race it just for you..:P

[npresme]

I'm glad you are so "SCARED" that you feel you need to pull out a "gun" from the "big race battery box" just for me on a club level....

You sure in some way of form Justin really isn't your child??? I mean between your National level packs and his $200 a week tire bill, you both have that win at all cost thing down pat...LOL

Later Scrub!

[npresme]

BTW your "turrets" will not allow you fast lap next week....

[John Tag]

LOL.. Man all I know is next week is gona be fun.. Expecially seeing Brandon in a dress....

[justin lessard]

BTW my Losi JXSR-R was shipped today. I will have it Fri. for an all day practice session! :eek: :D haha...this won't be the first time you've practiced all day and I still lap you on saterday..lol...BTW what is a JXSR-R...THATS NOT EVEN A REAL CAR!!!.....Hmmmm :rolleyes:

[npresme]

:D haha...this won't be the first time you've practiced all day and I still lap you on saterday..lol...BTW what is a JXSR-R...THATS NOT EVEN A REAL CAR!!!.....Hmmmm :rolleyes:

Thats alright, The whole day i practiced and you were still one lap up, I didn't quit that day!!! Plus the day I practiced I had NOTHING to base times off of, my car felt great, but that was the problem..it was TOO stuck making it scrub so much speed... But thats not the case anymore! :)

I did tune my own car to get it somewhat better.

As for the "JXSR-R" you knew what I was talking about, cause I know you ask "I didn't think that was coming out until Dec/Jan" :wave:

But If you go back and reread Brandons post to you, you may learn something....you have to OPEN YOUR OWN MOUTH AND ASK for what you want in life....

[John Tag]

I will.. I want peace...LOL

[scoot]

Laurie, George you guys still up for next friday test and tune? I may can even drag Tag out there.

If so I was gonna go ahead and make a resevrations at the Quality Inn.

I am going to be at the track Friday if my wife will let me use her old beat up van. My Lightning is sick or you may call it dead!!! I think George will be able to come up to but I am not sure. Hopefully there will be other's there too the more the better. hope you have a good week and see yah Friday Lauire

Tag that was a good run for yah. If you had not let off at the end you would have the track record. I think I have it at 24-5:11.05 I am sure this record will not hold up long. Have a good week. Laurie

You guys in the brushless class need to take a deep breath and
calm down. LOL LOL LOL

[npresme]

Laurie, I will see ya Fri. What happened tothe Lightning??? I hope your dead isn't like my dead was.... :(

I am pretty sure Tag is coming Fri, if he gets his permission slip signed..

BTW the "NEW" track record was just dropped off at my door...Off to work!

[John Tag]

New Track record.. Man looks like Anthony is running Mini Coopers now too...

Laurie that was fun saturday... Seems like 24 laps do fall easy for us now... If the track does stay warm I'll bet many of us go mid 24s before long..sat was good just a little cool later in day which slowed track down...

[John Tag]

Justin.. I plan to complete that 24..5:05 pace this week.. I fixed my front bumper...LOL If you werent in tower with hex on me it might have happened..But thats racing...

I'll make another call tommorow to see whats going on...

[npresme]

New Track record.. Man looks like Anthony is running Mini Coopers now too...


Naw but after I am done Sat....you will be running Mini Cooper's, So go ahead now and break the news to Andrew, he lost his Cooper to Dad!!!!

[John Tag]

Yea I was gona run the cooper sat in your heat(touring) to give ya a run for your money.. :wave: .

[Dee]

Ok, Laurie, don't scare me like that! :eek:

What happened to your truck??? :(

[scoot]

Ok, Laurie, don't scare me like that! :eek:

What happened to your truck??? :(

Going home Sat. night between Kinston and New Bern I was running
just a little over the speed limit and it appears it broke a connecting rod being as there is a hole in the base pan !!! So it looks like I have to buy a new engine or at least a good used motor. I am sure mine is not rebuildable.
So does anyone have a good Ford Lighting Motor just lying around that they don't need. I sure could use one.!!!!

[JimmyMac]

Just drive the Vette and you'll be fine. Plus it has better gas milage!!

[John Tag]

Laurie.. Man you got no luck.. Last week rc motor blew ,this week your real truck.. Man maybe you do much motor work keeping all on edge...LOL Yea a new motor sounds best there as ya never know whats missed in a rebuild from a blown engine... I got a CO27 that might work...LOL

See ya sat for some more great racing.. Brandon and Anthony are coming so we can show them the way...:)

[Ron Zee]

Anthony,, Just wondering but,, If your runnning a Losi soon, how come that little avatar thingy in the upper left corner looks like the thingy on Justins "old" car??

Had fun running the mini's but I think I need to get my butt whooped a few times in stock soon so,,, I may be running it this weekend. Seems the boss is going hunting this week so that means Fri. afternoon looks like I'll have off so I'll see you guys out there too. Yeah, that'll be different,, me actually practicing,,,

[JimmyMac]

Rons it's called mass confusion. That's why he has that avatar. Either that or he just got stupid and let Justin talk him into it.. hehe...

Well this looks to be another weekend that I'll be slow in Touring cars. New XBox 360 game coming out this week. Call of Duty 3. GAR, you gotta get this one for the PC when it's out! It's tons better than Call of Duty 2 and that was the shizznit last year!! Ahhh man, my tv is gonna get major burn in this week!!

Catch yall Saturday sometime... I dunno... whenever... haha...

[John Tag]

Jimmy.. If you ever practice the pink car you will be fast...LOL

[chance]

Hey guys, can we change the track a little? Don't have a cow! LOL

Not the driving line, just the board that sticks out at a 90 degree angle in front of the driver's stand for the chicane.
Could we replace it with two longer boards set at a vee and capped with a strip of that nylon material?

I see a lot of people hit that thing, I've hit it several times my self. I think a set of angled boards might be easier for the eye to pick up on verses that single board sticking straight out from the driver's point of view.

Were there any boards left over that could be used to lay on the track just to see how it would look?

What do you guys think?

[Dee]

"GULP" Huh? :huh:

Laurie, remember the picture you sent me awhile back, of your friends Lightning? :eek:

Oh geez..... I'm glad mine is still mostly stock.. :(

[JimmyMac]

I'm not allowed to pratice Tag. I'm retired for the rest of the year! Plus that would mean I'd have to actually set my alarm clock Saturday!! Yikes!!! :eek: I'll see what I can do for this weekend. I did actually change the setup on my car alittle this past Saturday. I guess I could get off my butt and change it some more. Plus I'll cut the motor. It hasn't been touched since asphalt season. And I still can't find my other CO27!????

By the way Tag. Thanks for the 12th scale motor. It was plenty fast. It didn't even wear at all!! Just that unexpected Spektrum problems that happened during the main. It might be that or the KO ESC voltage settings. Either way I'm adding a Rx cap and changing the ESC profile to a 12th scale profile. See ya this weekend.

Chance, I don't mind as long as the driving line is the same like you said. I highly doubt there is any wood left. But I may be wrong. John North and Mark P should know.

[John Tag]

:D Track change.. Oh yea there will be 6 of us there friday.... :wave:

[npresme]

Chance- if you are looking at the boards.....we may have found the problem.. LOL

Just messing with ya.

If it helps I am cool with it as long as the Chicane is still a chicane!

[npresme]

Going home Sat. night between Kinston and New Bern I was running
just a little over the speed limit and it appears it broke a connecting rod being as there is a hole in the base pan !!! So it looks like I have to buy a new engine or at least a good used motor. I am sure mine is not rebuildable.
So does anyone have a good Ford Lighting Motor just lying around that they don't need. I sure could use one.!!!!


Man I know getting beaten by Tag is rough but you didn't need to go and take it out on the Lightning...

I tried to tell ya a few months ago..the SVT line is not all its cracked up to be. After my Problem, I started reading alot of info on some of the message boards. I got one and that will be my last.....


So BTW how much material can you drill out of the rods in a Lightning before she blows??? :eek:

[chance]

I use a slightly modified braille system for driving. LOL

So what happened in the brushless main? I left early, maybe I should have hung around to watch...?

[npresme]

Anthony,, Just wondering but,, If your runnning a Losi soon, how come that little avatar thingy in the upper left corner looks like the thingy on Justins "old" car??

Nah, ya did good to leave before the mains... ;)

[bmelton]

Are the boards at the wood secured with bolts, screws, velcro, etc?? Never really paid attention, lol.

[npresme]

The two 2x4's are screwed together then velcroed to the carpet

[Ron Zee]

Chance If you were there for the main, you'd have pulled off. It was by far the biggest hammer fest in years. (now I'll get in trouble for sayin' that,,)

The boards are screwed together and linked at the ends and the major spots that get bumped or flat out run into are whats velcroed down. And some of those velcro spots are stuck REAL TIGHT, just ask Jimmy. Just about pulled his back out trying to move one awhile back,,,

Oh,,, gotta go,, the mail guy just left me a BIG box of stuff,,, gotta love that early online Christmas shopping! :cool:

[Tarheel]

Looks like my computer at home is giving up the ghost and i'm going to have to buy a new one. It is 6 years old though, so i quess thats not to bad. I will try and get the results posted asap. Problem is, i need a pc with a 3 1/2 disk drive because the track laptop does'nt have a cd drive. lol Looks like i'll finally have my brushless car ready this week thanks to Jimmy. JIMMY!

[justin lessard]

WOW nice avatar anthony!...

[chance]

Any of you guys that are going to be at the Wood Friday have an equalizing tray I could use? I was the lucky winner of a new battery and I would like to tray it before the first charge.
I've got to work Friday, but I'm taking off at lunch or a little after. Need to work on some of my rusty skills and ill handling issues.

[npresme]

Chance I have the Integy Zero 30 and a Trinity DPD you are more than welcome to use either one..

[m3ndo5a]

I have 030 as well for sale $35 and a Smart tray for $10 bucks, Or you can use them as well.....

Is everyone running the same Brushless system? 13.5? For Novak have so many and can they all be programmed to run stock like the 3.5?

Ron, Get your 415 ready. In your case just blow the Dust off.

Glenn do you carry corally 1/12 foams.....Silver front Gold Rear?

[Tarheel]

Sorry Terrell, no have. Broke a c hub on my cyclone S yesterday and Horizon does not have any. Does anybody have an extra untill i can find some? Yes they all run the 13.5 in the stock mode. Jimmy, i need help!

I don't think the 13.5 needs to be run in stock mode. It's already limited by the turns it has in the motor itself... 13.5 turns. But the brushless class is 13.5 motors only. No 3.5 in stock mode. Performance just would not be the same as the 13.5. It may be worse, it may be better....

Glenn, I think I have some spare 4degree c-hubs. I don't use them for carpet. I'll bring them tomorrow after work if I can make it out there. Don't you have a GreatPlanes account? Tower shows them in stock.

Looks like Old dudes..Me Laurie and George VS young guns Brandon,Justin and Anthony what will prevail skill and brains or just bold luck from the rookies.. Be there sat to find out the ansewer... :teacher: :wave:

[m3ndo5a]

Do you have to buy a 13.5 motor and GTB ESC separate?

And Glenn do you carry these?

[John Tag]

Anthony.. OH Yea!! Ya know what I saying....

[justin lessard]

never dought!...lol

[bmelton]

whatever the end result, I hope we can have a whole main like the first half last week. 3 cars packed in the first few laps, then me and Laurie spaced out by about a sec, and not gaining or pulling away. That was a blast.

[John Tag]

Me and Justin did that first 2 weeks.. nose to tail 4 inches for 5 minutes...man what stress....LOL But awsome racing..

Well, I guess Laurie and George will have to be the brains of that trio....



"Ansewer" Enough said!!! Then you have the nerve to post a :teacher: at the end... :eek:

Jimmy, i called GP and they said they did'nt have any. Sometimes it works that way, GP may have it and Tower does'nt or Tower has it and GP does'nt. If you can bring one i will pay you back. Thanks. Terrell, I have a 13.5 coming this week. I don't have a GTB in stock but will be glad to get you one. Yes they are sold separately.

Uhh, GLenn, that thing upstairs does have a cd unit for it remember? BUT, it's a player, not a recorder. Then again, you could link it into the one at your desk with the wireless thingy no? Then you'd be able to post it right from the upstairs 'puter,,,

[Tarheel]

Probably would be easier to buy a usb plug in 3 1/2 floppy. Do they make such a thing?
Glenn

[jtn]

what exactly do you need the floppy for?
Is it for transferring the results? You could just get a usb drive to transfer it and not have to worry about floppies.
Or....get a wireless card for the laptop since you have wireless in there.
