[badazzbubbancrc]

[Da Skills]

I hate that I will miss it. Hopefully the weather is nice in 2 weeks so that I can get a race in before the year is out.

[nomaak]

[dawg29]

I Thought Ya'll Wanted To Run This Weekend!

[Whiskey 1]

Donnie and Will, call me tomarrow. I'm planning on being there to run. See ya in the morning.

[Da Skills]

This is my off weekend Donnie, because if not I would be there.

[nomaak]

i'll try yall again in two weeks

[E-LST]

So what's up??? Stayed up late to put a RWB car together, was just about ready to pull out to pick up Ernie, when he called and said the racing had been called off????? It was actually kinda nice outside. Oh well, maybe next year..
Bob

[nomaak]

sry bob. ya we had a lot of snow up here and i been helping others and family (food...transport..etc). hope to get down soon to play. need a race BAD!!!! dont wanna do not offroad or oval tho LOL

[Whiskey 1]

Bob, Next week we should have a good turn out. Hopefully Ernie and you can come out and run with us. I was the only guy that posted or called to say I was coming out to run , so we canceled out. What a waste of a nice day to race. See ya next week hopefully.

[Da Skills]

Yeah, the weather was great. Now why couldn't it had been like that last weekend!!! Oh well I will be there this weekend, hopefully it will be nice.

[nomaak]

you mean yall gona be racing christmas weekend? KOOL!!!

[Whiskey 1]

RC America sent me the replacement Xray front suspension mount. Time to unleash the T3!!!!

[Da Skills]

Hey Pete we try not to miss any racing if we don't have to. So come on and bring that Losi on down, I know that you got it together by now.

[nomaak]

Dee..yep still trying to get this thing ready. the car is more unasual than an HPI Pro3. I "upgraded" to the losi JRXS pro. it has one heluhva carpet setup on it. (low roll mount all around, 25 lb springs, syrup for shock oil, 2degrees pro-dive w/6* hubs....heck the car even has .5 degrees of rear toe...) gona take soul searching to find the stuff to get it asphalt ready in time.

BTW if anyboby have 15lb springs, 4 degree castor blocks, #56 pistons,BK rear a-arms or even a 2 degree susp block for a JRXS Pro....lemme know.

this is by far the most unorthadox (SP) car i EVER owned!!! but she's fun tho!!! LOL

[E-LST]

I've got a type R and parts box with all that stuff and more, quite used and for sale, $125.00... type r and pro use different arms out of the box, but you can use pro arms on a R.
Bob

[nomaak]

bob.. wish i COULD take that losi off your hands. that would add to my collection but i gotta get some more elektronikal goodies before i get another TC. wanna feel the Pro out first. then after that my sights are set on the xray "James Bond" car. (007 LOL). when i'm finished surfing i'm gonna get these necessary part #'s together for my hobbyshop. if they can get what i need before sunday then i'll order it, if not then i guess i'll "Run What I Brung!" the springs on this thing are SUPER short!!! using other mnfr springs aint working so i need some more.

Dee....donnie....I'm still game if yall care to let go of a descent stock motor. i would LOVE to have something i little faster than what i had down there last time (hint,hint)

[E-LST]

What are you looking for? esc? bl motor? rx?????? if we are going to run sunday, I should be there, I'll have all that losi stuff with me if you want to look thru it. I think I have nearly all the springs, pistons and stuff

[nomaak]

at the moment: 17 thru 10 lb springs, 4 degree castor blocks, #56 pistons, and 2 degree a-arm mount. the esc i wanna get is the castle. for 17.5 spec i'm looking at speedpassion and an EPIC based "tuner" brand brushless.

[fmrc]

Merry Christmas everyone I miss racing with you all Donnie let me know about that other stuff

[Da Skills]

Merry Christmas Chris. Man how is the racing going there?

[Whiskey 1]

Chris(FMRC) a new grocery store is going to occupy the Winn Dixie, any ideas where we can go if we have to move? Hopefully the Wounded Warrior racer, Drew, can hook us up with a place on Ft. Bragg to race. Civilians can enter post they just have to go in the All American gate and show their drivers licence, but we can work that out later. Merry Christmas everyone(you too Dee... Stop buying new stuff), hope to see ya Sunday, weather is supposed to be good.

[Da Skills]

Hey Manuel, I'm finished buying new stuff for the year. I'll probably won't buy anything until the summer. That way when I buy something it won't be old the next month. Well I guess that there is no way to prevent that, but anyway I'm done.

[E-LST]

Whatever happened with the roller hockey place at the Y??

[Da Skills]

yeah whatever happend to that idea? I thought that we were going to be able to get that place

[fmrc]

well since I left I guess noone preceded about it I bet yo could stll get it

[nomaak]

[Da Skills]

53 mostly sunny.

[nomaak]

i hear ya dawg! i'm an out-of-towner myself and i WISH i had the speed yall had....dont know if i'll be all that fast or not. i'm running a JRXS Pro the go 'round and from my limited experience with this car........it's not designed to do battle on the asphalt. this is a carpet/foam tyre BEAST!!! but i'm pulling all the resources together from the internet that i can so i could have HALF a chance.:confused:

sooooo....does anybody wanna do the RWB class tomorrow? i dnt wanna be in the faster guys way.:D

[E-LST]

I'm going to be there with a rwb car( now if I can find that box of driving skills I have.......)

[fmrc]

Bob I think you left it out one day becouse Ernie said that he found some (I don't know what he did with it though He's not using it) HAHAHAHAHA

[Da Skills]

Now that's funny!!! Man we all might be a little rusty tomorrow, its been awhile.

[Da Skills]

Hey Tommy B, where are u at? Man come on out and have some fun.

[MRWILL]

Hey guys hope everyone had a great christmas and now its time to race hope to see all y'all Sunday....

[E-LST]

The "Big E" is riding with me tomorrow, so that's another RWB. Maybe that box will fall out of his pocket and I can get it back. hahahahaha
Laterz
Bob

[nomaak]

for rwb i basicaly have a TC with 19 turn brushed. me not have a spec 17.5 brushless yet. sry fellas but that's all i got so far.:roll2:

[Da Skills]

come and race anyway Pete.

[drsmooth]

I'd like to come down, but it's just a bit too far for me.:(

[Da Skills]

Hey Drsmooth, hopefully you will get to come down and race with us oneday. You will have fun, and the drive won't seem so bad. :-)

[nomaak]

dr...what u mean too far? i'm goin. it can be a little stretch for some but the racing and athmosphere is amazing! one of the most pleasant on-road tracks in NC. plus they greet cha with a HUGE(compared to what we been running on...LOL!!) med bite layout thats a pure joy to drive.

dee...um....OK!

[Da Skills]

Pete, keep working on him. Maybe he can catch you down one of these times.

[nomaak]

deal fell thru from a local racer to get parts for this thing.... not gone make it down unless someone has a spare susp holder (2 degree part#A9685) 1/2 degree rear hubs and a 4 degree hub and spindle set(#A9757) for sale:(

i need #56 pistons too all around. at the moment its got #60's in it

[Da Skills]

Hey Pete, you missed a good one to day. Bob was there and he has a losi car, so I'm sure that he had what you needed. Well hopefully you will be able to race soon. Hey fellas I had fun. The track was small, but fast.It kept you on the edge the whole time, one mistake and you were out of the running.I had a blast. Bob it was good to see you back out and Ernie too.

[nomaak]

i know maaaaan!!! gotta get these parts so i can play. gonna go check and so if the layout is still over there in durham. if it is i'mah use that as a test venue to get this car where i want it. so far i've been seeing spool become the norm for the most part so i'll start there. then balance....roll....etc

[fmrc]

Hey guys heard you all had a good time yesterday wish I could have been there and whats up with ernie he finnished 3rd wow great job to come back after a break must have been the set up help I gave him hahahaha well talk to you all soon

[Whiskey 1]

Battery Tape Failure!!!!! That plus a full speed head-on collision with a PVC Pipe that had been knocked out of place did me in. :( Good racing everyone, nice seeing everyone again. I'm ready for next week.

[Da Skills]

I was my own worst enemey. I was super fast, but made too many mistakes. Those cowbells are a killer.

[dawg29]

What Up Ya'll? Man That Was A Bad Layout Ya'll Came Up Wid. It Was A Nose Buster Though, But Is Was Super Fast. I Liked It. Especially When Will Gave Me Those 2 Fronts. Glad All Ya'll Got To Come Out, Hate Some Of You Had To Miss It. Hope We Can Do It Again This Weekend. Bubba Gave Me The Results If Ya'll Need Them Posted, He Doesn't Have Access To The Internet.

Donnie

[nomaak]

yes! yes! post 'em!

[Whiskey 1]

Noooooooooooo!!!!!!! (Oh the shame of a DNF) :(

[Da Skills]

Lol. I'm with you Manuel. The finals outcome wasn't good for me either. Will didn't finish either, so you are not alone in the dnf department.

[E-LST]

WRAL says 38 degrees Sat & Sun..... me thinks I'll be home in the house

[dawg29]

I Feel Ya'lls Pain On The Dnf Thang, It Was A Hard Track To Try To Crack The Throttle On. I Was Geared At A 4.33 (104/48) An My Car Was Screaming Exiting. Manny, I Hope I Wasn't The One That Drug That Pvc Pipe Out In Front Of You. I Had A Couple Of Hard Licks Myself In The Main. I Also Broke In The 2nd Qualifier. I Just Hope We Can Get Another Good One In Soon. Summertime Is A Long Way From January. I Tried To Scan The Results And Post Them But, I Failed. So I Will Just Post The Final Results.

Donnie

[dawg29]

Run What You Brung
Donnie 28/5:07,10
Bob 28/5:08,51
Chris 23/5:04,57
Ernie --dns--

Dee 29/5:08,16
Steve 26/5:04,46
Manny 24/4:05,82
Will 22/3:36,68

[Da Skills]

Hey Donnie, I was at a 4.5 and my car was ballistic fast. The track was short and my car was spooling up fast. You, me and Will got the break away from the start and I think that Will got taken out by the lap traffic. That left me and you battling, but I got greedy and caugth one of those cowbell and that was it. We were turning 8/9 second laps, so there was no way to catch back up. I can't wait until the next time.

[Da Skills]

Happy New Year everyone!!!!

[E-LST]

yeah, yeah, What Dee said

[Whiskey 1]

Man, I was outside for a while today and it pegged out my puss meter. I won't be racing Sunday. Sorry, but I need balls to race and they retreated into my body from the cold. I thought about using my tire warmers on my junk to race but my power leads are to short to move around with. :(

[fmrc]

wow ok I think that was to much info there manny besides the high for tomorrow here is suposed to be 15 and I will be racing hahahaha

[Whiskey 1]

Must be nice to race indoors.

[Da Skills]

Hahahahaha!!!! Manuel that was funny. Yeah I went out there about midday it wasn't to bad. But about 5 or so it was not nice at all. And the wind didn't help it at all. My daughter was out there playing on the trampoline,but that cold was kicking her but too. Lol!! Tomorrow is suppose to be about the same.

Hey Chris rub it in. That's the great thing about an indoor track, you can race as long as you can get there. Have some fun for me.

[fmrc]

yeah I am going to race 1/12th and TC even though I hate TC on carpet it should be on asphalt I think but was bored this week and build me a carpet var so High Ho its off to racing I go Hope you all get to race soon I will be going to LA Tuesday for a month so no racing there

[E-LST]

LA....... lower Alabama??????

[nomaak]

chris you running 12th mod or stock?

[fmrc]

wow really quiet in here I will talk to you all in a month gotta go play army for a little bit

[Whiskey 1]

Hey Pete, I have a used 17.5 Novak for $20 if you want it. That way your on an even footing with us.

[Da Skills]

I'm ready for Sunday.

[Whiskey 1]

Supposed to be around 33* Sunday, Who's racing?

[dawg29]

Man, That Is Ugly! I'll Be There If You Are Whiskey 1. Bring Some Whiskey So We Can Stay Warm. Lol

[Da Skills]

I'm down, if everyone else is. It's suppose to be about 40 degrees.

[Whiskey 1]

40's good. I'll run in 40*

[E-LST]

HA HA HA !!!! you funny boys!!!!!!

[Da Skills]

Hey Bob, by midday the sun will be out and make it warm enough to race. I'm a die hard racer.

[nomaak]

hey whiskey i'll take that motor if it has a sintered rotor in it. not too big on the novak's as they are slooow. of course me being a fan of mod....:rolleyes:

but for $20 i guess it wouldn't hurt to have some (UGH!!!) Roar "legal" HP in tha box just in case. PM or text me your address (336-989-4825) and i can send tha money your way. have you guys been keeping watch on the rosewood thread? they might be running some TC on the 17th especially for the lucky "bastages" (LOL) going down to compete at the snowbirds. any of yooz thinking of taking that day off to run some rug?

[E-LST]

I reckon I've graduated to a "fair weather racer" takes too long to warm up after being in 40 degree weather all day... :D

[slakr]

... see below

[slakr]

Rosewood in Goldsboro will be having a TC Race indoor on the carpet Sunday 1/17.

Doors open at 9AM
Racing at 2PM
Right now looking at 17.5 TC rubber tire and Mini Cooper classes *but 3 makes a class :cool:

Glenn's Hobby Corner
651 Community Drive
Goldsboro,NC 27530
(919)-734-7754
http://www.glennshobbycorner.com/

With a little luck, a little support and some participation... maybe we can get something scheduled once a month indoors at Rosewood during the "winter" months. When the weather breaks in the spring, it will be onto the asphalt.

[Da Skills]

Today was a pretty nice day. Hopefully tomorrow will be about the same. See everyone at the track.

[Whiskey 1]

Sorry Guys, No racing today, Will has a family medical issue to attend to. Lets try for next Sunday.

[nomaak]

yo whiskey you sure makin it hard on a brotha! i get my mouth all set for rosewood and now i hear yall gonna run..LOL! will..i hope things get better for you!
bk @ whiskey: i sent you a pm about the motor. FMRC would suit me better if the weather is rite. 1.3 hours vs 2.5 hours is a no-brainer!:D
doubt i'll run brushless down there til i get a new speedo....brushless just dont work down there for me...too many glitches. but i'm sure you'll find a class for me SOMEWHERE:p

[nomaak]

BTW, anyone looking for a car to putt around with i'll let my JRXS Pro go for $60 (roller/chassis only with some "tuning" parts)

[Whiskey 1]

Can't go to Rosewood Saturday, looking for someone from our club headed there to take Pete a motor. Let me know so I can get it to you to take to him.

[Da Skills]

Hey Manuel the race is on Sunday at RW.

[Whiskey 1]

oops. Dee, you going Sunday to RW? Will are we racing here in Fayetteville Sunday?

[Whiskey 1]

Weather not promising for Sunday here in Fayetteville :(

[nomaak]

uh,oh.....may be a packed house in RW

[Da Skills]

Hey Manuel I'm going to see if i can work something out. I would love to go.

[MRWILL]

Hey guys I would love to go but my panel box burned up been out of power and its costing me me a few hundred to get fixed and I won't have the money hope I can make it to fayettville on Sunday supose to be nice ......seya

[Da Skills]

yeah it is suppose to be warm, but i think that it's suppose to r---. Hopefully it will be nice, next week when I'm able to race here. It's still up inthe air for me to race at RW on Sunday. I will know by Saturday if I will make it. Hey Manuel are u going to try and go?

[Whiskey 1]

I was thinking about it if Will and Donnie were, but I guess I'll stay home. I also don't want to totally change up my cars setup for carpet. I made some major changes for our track and wanted to see if they work.

[nomaak]

i'm on the same page as you manuel. altho this losi is at home on the rug, i wanna make it a KILLER on the blacktop! Hate to see such a horrible weather forcast for you guys....kinda wanted to come down and tweak the car. but if not , then i can head over to durham a play there a little while. the track barriers and layout is still there just needs a little TLC. i think i could spend a good 15 minutes on the track and she'll be ready to play. i feel i better take advantage of this wonderful weather while we got it.:D

Team YO MAMA OUWT!!! (Pete)

[Timmie]

I was thinking about it if Will and Donnie were, but I guess I'll stay home. I also don't want to totally change up my cars setup for carpet. I made some major changes for our track and wanted to see if they work.

Actually, you wouldn't have to totally change your asphalt setup to run carpet TC with rubber tires. Asphalt setups actually work quite well on carpet. It's basically what all my cars are set up on.

[nomaak]

timmie...whats a good rubber tire for carpet? i think my speedmind32's aren't sticky enuff for RW. dont want to spend the money to buy carpet rubber so i'll wait for the ole blacktop to warm up.

[Timmie]

timmie...whats a good rubber tire for carpet? i think my speedmind32's aren't sticky enuff for RW. dont want to spend the money to buy carpet rubber so i'll wait for the ole blacktop to warm up.

Anything Sorex or RP work really well on carpet, 36 and under. My preference are 28 Sorex, but I will sometimes use 36's if traction is too high. So your 32's are right in the middle. They will work fine for carpet. You will probably want to run a traction additive like Sticky Fingers as well, but its not entirely necessary because RW actually has a lot of grip because of all the oval that has been run.

If you can make it out, it would be a good chance to learn your car and get a good setup that will more than likely work outside as well. A few of us including myself are always willing to help someone out on tuning/advice.

[Whiskey 1]

Sold, I'm coming on out. Pete hope to see ya there. Sorry for the late post but I couldn't check the site till this morning. Also Will told me he's heading up there with the crew.

[E-LST]

PHHHHHHHTTTTTTTT! the sun is out!!!!! :teacher:

[nomaak]

OH NOW YOU TELL ME!! i could have BEEN gone. if i rush and get my stuff together i wont get there til 12 or later! maybe some other time:(

[Da Skills]

Sunday is looking promising. I'm ready to race!!!

[Whiskey 1]

Dee what weather man you been watching? I hope it will be nice. RW had a good layout this weekend. Timmie was helping everyone out with setups and the racing was great. They are talking about doing it every month. Something to look forward to.

[Da Skills]

i've been looking at the 7 day forecast and it said that Sunday is suppose to be 69 and cloudy. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I wish that I could have made it to RW, I need my racing fix. It's been over a month since I've raced.

[E-LST]

looks to be 70 and clouds for Sunday, may have to grab ernie and come knock pipes with ya.
Bob

[Da Skills]

I'm looking forward to racing Sunday

[Whiskey 1]

The weather looks iffy for Sunday, Saturday looks good, can we race Saturday?

[E-LST]

if you beleive the tv, sunday is going to suck, as opposed to the nice weather that was forecast....

[Whiskey 1]

They've been right so far!!! 40% of the viewing area will get the R stuff Sunday. How about we try for Saturday.

[Da Skills]

Man, I just want to race. One minute they say it going to be cloudy, then the next it suppose to rain Sunday afternoon. It doesn't matter to me which day we run, just post it on the site if we are going to run Saturday. Just incase there are people who may come from out of town.

[Whiskey 1]

Just got off the phone with Will, he said were going to race on Sunday. I'll be there. That's why I was calling you Dee.

[Da Skills]

Ok that's cool I will be there. My battery in my phone died, so I will see everyone on Sunday.

[Squintz]

Hey Yall,

Long time no see. I used to race with yall when you first started up and then I moved to Washington State. Well I am headed back that way this summer and can' wait to race with you again:)

WHat Parking Lot are you racing in now?

Brad

[Da Skills]

What's up Brad? Man we are still at the same place, but we might have to move because they are putting a supermarket in the Win Dixe building. So just keep up with the thread, if there is any changes it will be posted here. Good to hear from you.

Derrick

[E-LST]

Hey Brad!! be good to have ya back, how's the damp Northwest??? rainy??
hahahaha
Bob

[Squintz]

It's goin good Guy's but it will definately be good to get back to the East coast. I've been spoiled out here with a nice indoor offroad track 5 minutes from my house and another 30 minutes away. Ther was a nice indoor asphalt onroad track in seattle but unfortunately they had to close. there is a parking lot race club that had a really nice program in the summertime (Run by a hobby shop), and there is another club that rents a hangar up in Seattle to put down a temporary carpet track on occasion.

Hopefully I will have time to help Yall out finding a new place to run. Can't wait to see all of you again.

Is Chris Crowder still around?

Brad

[Da Skills]

Hey Brad, it sounds like you did alot of racing out there. Yeah Chris Crowder is still around. He just got back from Korea, but he is on a special assignment right now. He will be back in a few months I guess.

Well fellas it's on tomorrow!!!!

[nomaak]

time?

[Da Skills]

Hey Pete as far as i know it will be the normal time. We should start racing by 12:30/ 1:00. Setup should be around 10:30/ 11:00 I think, that will be about the time that Will should be there with the track. Maybe Will, will chime in before tomorrow gets here.

[nomaak]

sounds good....what's the weather looking like?

[E-LST]

periods of sun, periods of clouds, possibly periods of rrrrrr.. mid 60's anything needed more definite than that........ you're on your own,, hahahahahaha
in other words, there's a strong possibility that some form of weather might happen today.

Bob

[nomaak]

aight presshate that bob. getting the little one for church and hope to be on the road before 10am. once again.... me gotta losi jrxs pro up for grabs. roller (no body), parts, 4200/35C li-po, and brand NIP speedmind 32's...priced to move @ $90:D

[E-LST]

Manny, Ernie, Derrick and I were at the parking lot today, enjoyed some nice weather for about an hour and a half, the track never showed up so we went home. seems like a waste of a good day.
Bob

[Da Skills]

Yeah the weather was perfect today, it didn't r--- until about 3:30. We could have gotten in atleast 2 qualifiers and a Main. We had a few new people stop by but there was no track to run on.

[nomaak]

too bad things went the way they did today. i was on 421 but somethin told me to turn around so i did. would NOT have been cool driving nearly 5 hours round trip por nada. touring is drying up here in NC and the only track that still runs it's full program can't because it's too wet.... How crazy izzat!!??!!:eek:

[Da Skills]

Yeah touring is starting to fall off. That's why I'm getting my stuff ready to run 1/8 scale buggy this season. Offroad seems to be the only thing that people still like to race. I will still run touring some but I will be spliting my time this season with offroad. So Pete get yourself a buggy, so that we can battle like the old days.:driving:

[Da Skills]

Hey Manuel here is the link to the offroad track. Man they have made the track bigger.

http://www.capefearraceway.com/

[nomaak]

yo Dee!! i wanna do some dirt just to keep racin but personnaly i hate off-road. got my first whiff of TC back in '99. beat the likes of steve rule & sean cockeran(sp) on the carpet and was hooked. tried to race TC but i aint a big fan of ROAR stock classes eigther so i raced off and on. stock was never stock IMO....it only benefited guys with the $$$ and those who had the hook-up. (to me) it never focused on the driver's skills like it should have. ya know....help new blood get good for modified.
sadly i STARTED out with mod motors and it's hard to go to stock at times because i like the sheer power! lap times dont matter to me when it comes to the feature.....its all about that trigger finger baby!!! but we'll see.

[Da Skills]

Yeah Pete, you are right. All we use to run was modified 2wd buggies and you had to be on point to drive them smooth and fast. I only started racing Tc because there were no offroad tracks around for awhile and I had to do something if I wanted to race.

[nomaak]

i think me and you need to win us that 100 million lotto and build an indoor TC track in every zipcode in north carolina!!! LOL!!!! ROAR not allowed:D

[Whiskey 1]

Dang!!!! Dee that's a track and a half!!! I really have to think before I invest on the off road stuff, See ya in a couple of weeks, still can't get ahold of Will. Donnie give me a call. I'll PM ya my number.

[Da Skills]

That has always been my dream, an indoor asphalt tc track. That way no matter what the weather is like I can race.

[nomaak]

Mine is indoor asphalt too but with 1/12th scale modified.....2 cell li-po!!! :eek:

[Da Skills]

Hey Manuel, now that's what I'm use to running on. Check out the classes that they have, I'm sure that they have something that u might be interested in racing. I was smart and saved all of my good stuff when I sold my 1/8 scale, I knew that I would race offroad again. Check the track out on youtube, the videos show all of the classes that they have. There under the same name as the track.

Hey Pete it wouldn't make a difference what is run on the track I have a 1/12 scale too!! lol!! It wouldn't matter as long as I have some fun.

[Squintz]

If yall are gonna be racin Off road this summer keep me in the loop. I have a car for all 3 10th scale classes. Although the only 10th class they probably run at that huge track is truck. I've been thinkin about an electric 1/8 Buggy. They are real popular around here but IMHO the indoor tracks here are too small for all that power.

Brad

[Da Skills]

Yeah Brad, I will be doing some offroad racing as well as touring this year. They race 10th scale buggies and trucks there. Man those electric 1/8 buggies are fast and they race them at that track. Check out the videos on youtube of them on that track. The videos are under the same name as the track.

[Whiskey 1]

My RP24ST snow tires arrived today, see ya guys Sunday to race. Derik what class do you run off road?

[Da Skills]

I will be running nitro 1/8th scale buggy, but I would like to run electric 1/8 scale buggy. Those cars are fast, but I will have to invest in a 1/8 brushless system. I'm not quite sure if I will do that right now. I also have a 10th scale buggy, but I will only race it modified. Manuel get ready, I have some $ to spend. :-) I'm not sure what I will get though. LOL!!

[Whiskey 1]

I hate you!!!:mad:

[Da Skills]

:D Lol!!!! Hahahahhaha!!!!! :D

[Whiskey 1]

I haven't learned to operate my Futaba radio completely yet!!! and now I got to get something new. D@#!:mad:

[MRWILL]

Hey guys sorry but I got to quit.....I'm done.

[Da Skills]

I'm still learning mine also. You are safe for a little while, I don't know what I want right now.

[Da Skills]

Have you heard from Will, Or Donnie yet?

[Da Skills]

Hey Will what's up man?

[Whiskey 1]

Will you have a PM from me.

[Squintz]

I will be running nitro 1/8th scale buggy, but I would like to run electric 1/8 scale buggy. Those cars are fast, but I will have to invest in a 1/8 brushless system. I'm not quite sure if I will do that right now. I also have a 10th scale buggy, but I will only race it modified. Manuel get ready, I have some $ to spend. :-) I'm not sure what I will get though. LOL!!

Well I was running 17.5 Buggy here for a while but I stepped up to mod. On that track stock would be like watching paint dry lol. I have a 1/10 Truck, Buggy and 4wd Buggy. I'll just need a little setup work and a MAJOR tire change to run out door:D. Our indoor tracks here are never lacking in the traction department. I use paragon on my tires and have actually run slicks a few times. Wheelies on command and traction rolls if you are not carefull!

Brad

[Da Skills]

Yeah the indoor offroad track are great. I use to travel to Greensboro to run indoors. They use to have 2 great indoor tracks there. I'm just ready to race something, it's been awhile.

[Whiskey 1]

Will, I need to get with you to get Ernie's generator and the key to the truck with the track supplies. Also We need to get from you the Transponder equipment. Call me so that I can get with you to pick up the stuff. I will miss you and Chris at the track. You've been a good friend who I always looked up to, and I appreciate all the help with my cars and learning the art of RC racing. Your one of the best I've seen.

[Da Skills]

Say it's not so!!!!! Will you and lil Chris will be missed.

[Whiskey 1]

Donnie... are you also dropping out? What about Bubba? Donnie, PM me your phone #, The one I have for you is no longer in service.

I Will Hit You Wid A Text In The Morning D When We Get On The Road.

[Da Skills]

Ok, Manuel and I will be leaving about 7:15.

[mydartswinger]

Hey guys,
I ain't popped my head in here in a while. Sorry 'bout that.

If I ain't said it, when I quit racing, I had no hard feeling towards any of ya'll. I was just frustrated with the way things were going. ETC was never really my forte.

I've been doing well with my flying and enjoying it. I've been missing racing, though. I trolled through here a bit yesterday and read where Cape Fear has expanded their track. Looks like it'll be fun. That got me thinkin' about joining you guys out there for some 1/8th scale nitro buggy action when I get back Stateside. Just gotta pick a buggy, order it, and build it.

Anyway, good luck to you all tomorrow.

Shannon

[Da Skills]

No hard feelings Shannon. It's alot to TC racing, so it understandable that it can be frustrating at times. But it's all about fun, well that's what it suppose to be. But when you get back stop by anyway, see you when you get back.

Derrick

[mydartswinger]

I'll definitely stop by to see ya'll. Never know, since I'm wanting to get back to racing, maybe I'll give ETC another shot so I don't have to drive so far to race. This time with better stuff.

[mydartswinger]

Since I'm thinking about it, what's the current BL motor and LiPo limit? And what's the current "hot" motor/LiPo setup?

[Da Skills]

Well we are running 17.5. So you can choose between a Duo motor or the Novak Ballistic. Those are the most popular motors right now. As for a lipo, 5000 40c is what's hot right now. Get the Thunder Power 5000 40c pack, that's what most of us are using.

I'll be back at Bragg this summer. I don't have an 1/8th scale yet but I will get one to race up at cape fear. I'll probably go the electric route so if you need a Pit Man I'll be glad to offer up my services since we won't be racing in the same class.:)

[fmrc]

racing on the 13th right? 175 and run what you brung?

[SRT 10 Dude]

Hello everyone. I'm Theo and I met about two or three of you guys this past Sunday at the track. I was the one guy who said that I had been racing many years ago and want to get back into it. Well, like I said that day I want to get back into it but many things have changed since previous days of racing R/C cars (I was single and not in the Army). Therefore, I want to get into it cheaply at first and probably start out with a RTR on-road car. My past experience includes nitro racing but I think you guys mainly run electric out there. Any suggestions on what I should get and should I get it here locally or through Ebay, online...etc? Hope to beat...I mean race you guys soon...hehe.

[fmrc]

hey Theo I am Chris I am one of those you spoke with I would suggest a TC4 RTR that will be your least expensive way to start you would need racing tires, batteries, and charger and it is durable plus parts are readily available at Hayes Hobby House here is a link to that kit http://67.199.85.166/ae/tc4/tc4_home.php and for a battery here is a couple of lipos http://order.aeteam.net/product_detail.asp?Itemcode=703 or http://www.hobbypartz.com/batteries.html

[Da Skills]

Chris when do you leave? R u going to race at RW Sunday? I will probably come out on the 13th, its my off weekend but I may bring my daughter out to drive the cooper. Welcome Theo, I wasn't there on Sunday when you stopped by. But Chris had told me that a few new people stopped by. A few of us are going to race out of town this Sunday at Rosewood. Its about an Hour away from Fayetteville. If you are interested in going let us know and you can follow us down.

Derrick

[SRT 10 Dude]

Hello all. Thanks for the info Chris. What do they race at Rosewood?

[Da Skills]

They are running 17.5 Touring, Mini Coopers and this new class that you might like its a cost friendly class. It's called the Touring Gt class. That class runs the any touring car chasis, a silver can motor, any 2dr body and a spec tire. It's a good class for a beginner. Tag along and you can see what you would like to get into.

[Whiskey 1]

Hey Theo if you want you can follow us to Rosewood, we can meet at the McDonalds where we usually race around 7:45 am Sunday morning. My name is Manuel. Let me know if you want to, otherwise Derik and I will hit I95 here in Hope Mills.

[SRT 10 Dude]

I will let you guys know on Friday for sure if I'm going or not. But I definitely want to patricipate here in Fayettevile whenever there is something here.

[Da Skills]

Cool, we will be back in full swing here in Fayetteville soon.

[dawg29]

Wish I Was Going Racing Wid Ya'll.

[Da Skills]

Whats up Donnie? Man you are missing some good racing. Did you find somewhere to race where you are at?

[Squintz]

Hey Brad, it will be good to have you back. See you soon Chris.

Can't wait to race with yall again. I need to stay away from the Schumacher website. That Mi4LP looks the buissiness!

Brad

[Da Skills]

I have seen one one the track, it is the business!!! Its a nice ride!!

[Da Skills]

Hey Theo, are you still interested in going to Rosewood tomorrow?

[SRT 10 Dude]

Sorry but tomorrow is the wifey's birthday so you know how that goes. Thanks for the invite though. Have fun and good luck guys!

[Da Skills]

hat's cool, you got to do the wifey thing, I know how it is. Maybe another time, we will start racing here soon. So you will be able to get some racing in.

[fmrc]

what time Sunday looks to be a great day wish I could be there but I will be racing in Memphis this Sunday

[SRT 10 Dude]

Besides a TC4, is there anything else that would be good for a born again racer? How about something from the Tamiya TT 01 series? Or somethng from HPI? Just trying to see what choices I have before it becomes my money pit again....hehe. And I think you guys said you don't race nitro in Fayetteville, correct or not?

[Da Skills]

Well, if you want to go with Tamiya get a TA05 belt series car or a TB03 shaft series car. There are a few versions, so you will have a choice of what you want shaft or belt car. They are great cars to start with if you are not looking to spend alot of money on a car. We use to run nitros, a few people still have them. If everyone brings them out we can run them or you can run it in the run what you brung class.

[Whiskey 1]

You can pick up a T2 Pro from Nexus racing for $275. It's a great car for the price.

[SRT 10 Dude]

Is there any racing here this weekend?

[fmrc]

I have the same question

Buller?
Buller?

[Da Skills]

I have my daughter this weekend, but if I can find a battery, I will bring her out so that she can run the cooper. Its suppose to be nice, we can't waste the nice weather!!

[fmrc]

I will talk to ernie he can bring a battery for you

[Timmie]

Derrick If you and a bunch of others are going to go out there let me know I'll come run something. I have a car I need to do some testing with.

[Da Skills]

What did you get??

[SRT 10 Dude]

I bought an Exceed Champion Pro from another Soldier here on post. I figure I will re-tune my driving (crashing, hehe) skills with this car first and then get a good pro racing car. I'm sure I will probably get my ass handed to me with this car , but I have been out of the game for almost 10 years.

I haven't heard of that car. I will have to do some research on it. Yeah a lot has changed in the past 10 years.

[SRT 10 Dude]

It is one of those replicate models (HSP), like Redcat racing and Himoto. It will be a good car to start off with and eventually get some like a Schumacher or Xray.

[Da Skills]

Ok, we had someone who had that car. It works pretty good. It gives you something to practice with until you feel comfortable before getting a high $ car.

[Da Skills]

Double post ?

[Da Skills]

Hey Theo, we will not race this sunday. It will be next sunday. If u need any help just let me know and I can meet you somewhere and help you get your car straight.

[SRT 10 Dude]

Thanks for the offer for help but I should be ok. Now if it was nitro then that might be a different story. But I'm just gonna run (or break) the car today to see what adjustments I need to work on. I will be looking forward to the next races.

[Whiskey 1]

Derik, we running at Rosewood next Sunday?

[Da Skills]

Thats cool.

[Whiskey 1]

Derick...you told Theo we were racing next Sunday in Fayetteville?

[Da Skills]

No I just said that we would be racing Sunday. I didn't say where, just to give him a heads up incase he wanted to go.

[SRT 10 Dude]

I will probably go with you guys this weekend. Probably gonna spectate only though. I don't think I'm ready to race yet, or At least I probably won't be competitive enough. We'll see.

[Timmie]

I will probably go with you guys this weekend. Probably gonna spectate only though. I don't think I'm ready to race yet, or At least I probably won't be competitive enough. We'll see.

Head down with Manny and Derrick. Give me 15 minutes with your car and you'll be good to go. I promise you will have a lot of fun. We have a few people new to touring coming this Sunday, so don't worry about being competitive you'll do fine. We have a class called Touring GT which is a great class for you to try out.

Hey Theo, that's great to hear that you will tag along. The Touring Gt is perfect for you to get back use to racing and learn about your car. It a close racing class, Manny TQed the last race. You won't have to worry about the setup, Timme will help you get your car striaght. He is always willing to help anyone out that needs it, he just wants everyone to have fun.

[SRT 10 Dude]

Ok here's what my car is running: 3300 brushless motor, Novak brushless ESC, and 27mhz AM radio freq. I took the car out yesterday and it ran pretty smooth except the suspension needs some tuning. Probably gonna check the oil in the shocks and replace with some better stuff. I'm running two crappy batteries, a 3000 and an 1800 that came with the car. I know LiPo is the way to go but what are they running in that GT class?

In the GT class they are running a silver can motor, you can get it at the track for $16. This helps keep the cost of racing down and the racing close. For the shocks use 40wt. Lipos are becoming more popular but the great thing about the GT class is that you can run cells and still be competative. I bought a 2400 nimh pack for my cooper this weekend and it has plenty of power. But if you can get a lipo that will be good, get a 5000 35c or 40c pack. If Hayes Hobby doesn't have any I'm sure that Glenn has some at the track.

[SRT 10 Dude]

So I would need to take off my brushless motor? What about my brushless ESC? Do I need to switch that as well?

Also, what time do they start and stop running? I am taking my son and want to know how long we will be there. Thanks for all your help.

No you can leave the brushless ESC in it, just take of the motor. Manuel and I usually pull out about 7:45 am, the track opens at 9:00 am. Racing starts at 12:00, they usually finish up around 4:30-5:00. What side of town do you live in? We are in Hope Mills and hit 95 from there, you are looking at about an 1hr drive.

[SRT 10 Dude]

Man, I'm pricing a LiPo battery and a charger and it sets me back over $200. Man that's expensive. I wonder if it would be okay to just run the 3000 NiMh battery I have. Also, I woul dneed to buy a quick charger because I only have the crappy charger that came with the RTR set. What time do I need to be there to sign up for racing?

What model novak speedo do you have on the car? Most can be wired to run a brushed motor. I can wire it up for you when you get to the track, and wire it back to brushless before you leave. It will take me all of 5 min, I'm pretty fast and soldering....and I'm not a hack, rest of the guys will vouch that I take care in what I do. If you can't purchase a motor at the track, I'll let you run one of mine. Suspension is no problem, 15 min and your car will be all set. Take Dee's advice if you rebuild your shocks yourself, 40wt being a good weight for the class. If you are unsure with rebuilding the shocks yourself, I can rebuild them for you when you get to the track. Your fine with those NIMH packs, if anything they should help balance the weight of the car better without having to add a lot of lead. If you do want to run a Lipo though, I have a spare 40C/5000Mah lipo your more than welcome to run for the day. But you'll have to borrow someone's charger since I only have 1 lipo charger at the moment. Whatever you need you'll be covered, no worries.

[QUOTE=SRT 10 Dude;2432204]So I would need to take off my brushless motor? What about my brushless ESC? Do I need to switch that as well?

Just bring your car as is. I will get it ready to roll for you.

[SRT 10 Dude]

Thanks Timmie. I will probably at least set up my shocks. I was a big Nitro on-road guy about 10 yrs ago and remember how important it was to have my shocks tuned especially for that heavy nitro engine. I think I'm gonna buy a better charger also.

Yeah the initial setup for lipo is pricey, but as long as you take care of the pack, it will last you a while. Manuel and I get there early, that way we can practice and work on setups. Like I said we will leave around 7:45.

Well, it looks like the weather is going to clear up for racing Sunday. I will probably head up to Rosewood on my own and look for you guys there. I'm the guy in the Black SRT 10. Probably be there early in the AM as well.

That's great to hear. Its not hard to find. Go 95 north, take exit 95 toward Goldsboro. Then hit 70 towards Goldsboro and look for Community Dr on your right. Take that road and it will lead you straight to the track. I will pm you my number just incase you need it.

[rcpigz]

Good morning All, new guy here and just wanted to introduce myself as I might be moving to your area from central Florida. Just a note though....please don't try and e-mail me using the listed address...this is an old logon from a while back. Tried to setup a new one but the admin folks haven't sent me an activation e-mail yet. If any body uses RCTECH.NET I'm "evoracer" on that.
Already got in touch with Chris and got some basic info on the club. If I can find work up there I'm hoping to get involved with the club and maybe help make things even better. I run a club down here and have a drivers stand, Road Rails/PVC track and a I-Lap timing system ...although I hear you have an AMB already.
It looks like you guys divide your time among a couple different tracks. Any particular reason why ?? Also, Is the club growing and what kind of advertising or marketing do you do (like displays at car shows and other events)?
Are most of you military ?
Which classes do the best for you ??
I hear you have a good hobby shop close by. Do they support the club in any way?
Look forward to hearing more about things and hopefully meeting everyone . BTW, everybody calls me Dino. 6 years Air Force for me and grew up an Army brat. Dad retired with 22 years Army. Looking to move because I lost my job with Harley-Davidson down here and now all my family lives up that way in and around Burlington. I'd just as soon get closer to the military folks. Talk soon.
You can check out the Florida club info at www.bearrc.com (http://www.bearrc.com). Can't seem to add a signature here.

[Da Skills]

Hello Dino, it's always good to have new racers. Ok that's cool you have talked to Chris already, so you know something about our track. Well with being in a military town we have people come and go, but we have a decent crowd of racers that come out along with new people getting interested in racing. So we are looking forward to this season. The reason that we have been spliting our time at other tracks is because we run year around and the weather hadn't been the best these last few months. So in order to get that racing fix in the track in Rosewood has an indoor carpet track and they decided to run touring inside until the weather gets better to run outside. Now when the asphalt season starts they will be running on saturdays and we run on sundays, so that will be good for both tracks. Some of there racers support our track when we have races, so we are doing the same. We will run what ever people want to race, as long as there are at least 3 of them. But we have been running 17.5, and run what you brung mostly, but we have run 13.5, nitros, 12th scales, mini coopers, VTA, World Gt. So as long as we have 3 we will run them. So I'm looking forward to meeting you, you sound like you will be a great addition to our club. I'm on RCTECH also under the same profile name.

Oh crap, I've never run on carpet. I'm not setup for that. I still have my stock tires. Guess I need to buy some other ones. Is it oval or road course?

Lol!!! Don't worry about it man. Between me and Timmie you will be straight. Carpet is not much different maybe a few minor adjustments. To tell you the truth, I'm running the same setup that I do for asphalt, the only thing that I added on my car was the swaybars. Once you get your car setup all you have to do is worry about cleaning your tires. Don't worry about buying tires until you get there. They have a set that they are using in the GT class and they are $25 for a set of 4 premounted. You can't beat that. You will get a lot of runs out of them, some of us are running them in 17.5. They run oval on saturday, but it will be setup for touring on sunday.
