So what car was the most dominate at the birds? Just curious.

Thx
L

IT looked to me like several cars were fast all week long. CW, Associated, Hyperdrive, KSG, Maverick, LE, X Factor, ...I doubt you would have a lot of difference iffen ALL the guys drove LEGENDS when it comes to the front runners...THOSE GUYS are just plain AWESOME wheel men...and adapt to the conditions around them...

All brands of cars were well represented this year.... there was a bunch of break out runs.... its not the car it the wheel behind it... and the pitman doing the setup...

are the L4's still goin strong? did anyone win or make the A with the L4? just curious

joe ivo

i think the x-factor tq'd and won both 4-cell 19t and 4-cell mod

Josh Cyrul had on a CW shirt during the main...so I'm guesing that's what he drove.

Bill Malicoat Jr. was running the Leading Edge car.

interesting, KSG did not win anything this year, but had almost 3 cars in every A
impressive...
NICK

That is funny Steve Peak had a KSG and won the stock A main

I thought Steve Peake was running a HD???

Steve was running a ksg that he built at the track.

Sean Combs was on a custom works.

I knew Steve Peake would see the Light.

Ryckaert, KSG the last three years. -Pete R.

Barry HIll from Hyperdrive won sportman 19t also.

Way to go Barry.


Shane

i belive dusty kemp is now on a custom works as welll

Yes Chuck I do drive a HD, I had a Ksg slider that I got for christmas finished putting it together Monday at the Birds, Just like the Nascar guy's say it was good right out of the trailer. Would like to thank Steve Salvas for the TQ CELL power, Neil Hanson's C&N HOBBIES for the product support, and John from BSR Tires for taking the time to talk about tire compounds. Without you guy's it would not have been possible. Steve Peake

how about 12scale cars?

GOOD Run Steve Dosent matter what car you run as long as its an oval car.

Good job Steve! Way to bring the cup back North.

M.P.

What car was Josh C. running ?. It had the srevo mounted sideways.
It looks like he tried to get everything that was mounted on the car as far left as he could.And what place did he come in?

Josh runs for Custom Works.

what was even more amazing was the showing of the Associated/Silva cars....
Which goes to prove you dont need the latest and newest cars to be competitive......
wins in 19T and 4 cell mod......Wow...It showed me something...........
.
Thought custom works would have laid down the smack this year........I love my KSG but my hats off to Associated /Silva

just goes to show ya, its mostly the chassis tuner and wheel that get it done

Isnt the silva car a new car??? it has only been out a short time.. i think it qualifies for newest car stardum....

the car is all new geometry... i had heard the reason it looks so similar to an l4, was for team guys.. associated team drivers are allowed to run the silva car... its basically an L5.. just not released under the associated name

The Silva car came out in September. And the CW car came out a couple months later. So the CW is the newest car in the bunch.

But you need to think of it as just a chassis upgrade to an L4 not a complete car like the CW car.

For all the adjustments on the CW car that the Silva car does not have, it should have mopped the competition. But the old associated cars are still kicking.

Steve, it doesn't matter what you were driving! Congratulations anyway!

im running an l 4 with silva equipment on it and it freckin flys! :wave:

I think it all goes back to basicly what was said in the second post of this thread...

A good wheel man could make anything go fast...

I think we often put too much emphisis on what's the latest and greatest... Most of the time it's the guy driving that's making the car go fast... not the car making the driver go fast...

I know some would like us to think otherwise... how else would they all sell us more stuff?

i was on a custom works aggressor. both stock and 19 turn. my little missile was a ksg.
dusty kemp

SC makes great products but by the time you purchase an L40 and the SC conversition kit, plus aluminum side pod and some other bits you will have spent much more than the KSG, HD and CW................. :freak:

There were two Rip Undertaker cars in the stock A-main. Second place and seventh. And one in the 19t Sportsman A-main.

So what kind of batteries where in these dominating cars anyway?

One thing that's always bothered me about race results... it seems there rarely is any information about what kind of cells and/or motors that were used. It's rare that we know what cars were used, but even more rare that we hear about the batts, motors, and tires...

GP3300. TQ Cells in the winner. I've run SMC packs, bought through Tower Hobbies the last two years. I saw BSR tires and Jacos on cars in the main. -Pete

I agree Dynomohum,

I think at the Birds and All nats (ARCOR, ROAR, NORRCA) All A main guys should fill out a sheet with the following:

Chassis
Body
Motor
ESC
Radio
Servo
Tires
Gears

If anything it lets everybody see what they run and what is running up in the front.

Mike Bush was on a KSG in Stock, but is now HD

Ok I think I have everybody listed and their chassis:

Steve I sent you a Private Message

DynoMoHum,

visit associateds web site and look at the set up sheets for Sean Cochran, his set up for this year isn't there yet, but his set up from 2 years ago is there complete. He won that year too.

I would be very interested in how much his ride was set up differently this year then 2 years ago. I believe he's got the silva's xfactor set up on his L4 now, but I'd be curious as to what else is different.

custom works drivers, esp. stock...

Did you use the offset or std. T-plate when the bite came up?

2nd place expert 19T
Ksg
Jaco 3 pinks and purple rt front
lrp quantum
futaba 3pk
futaba 9650 servo
protoform dodge
smc 35 amp batteries

Gary

custom works drivers, esp. stock...

Did you use the offset or std. T-plate when the bite came up?

I can't speak for all of them (especially mod) but Doug and I ran offset tplates all weekend.

Peter Coll

custom works drivers, esp. stock...

Did you use the offset or std. T-plate when the bite came up?

Offset t-plate. That's all my bro and I run now.

If you have a CW ride and you're not running the t-plate in the offset position ... you're simply not taking full advantage of this car.

Steve Salvas
Team CW

custom works drivers, esp. stock...

Did you use the offset or std. T-plate when the bite came up?

Offset T-plate from time time i arrived until the mains were over. I can't say enough about this car its the best pan car I've ever owned, and the support from Team Custom Works is first class.
Doug

Mike Russell was running a Hyperdrive in expert 19t.

barry

scott,
offset t-plate in both cars. salvas is right....if you're not running it offset, you lose one of the unique features of this car. it seems to me this car is more sensitive on center adjustments(spring,t-plate,angle) than on side to side changes. there were some fast aggressors in stock.....that's for sure.

Final Tally

KSG - 13
Custom Works - 12
Asc/Silva - 9
RIP - 2
Hyperdrive - 2
Leading Edge - 2

dusty,

Congrats on the good showing at the 'birds!
