Does anybody have any tips/setup tips for me, i'm racing stock/spec truck class on a carpet oval in Mt. Pleasant, Mi? With my T3.

you might try going to TTT and go to electric forum and then go to Indiana offroad indoor and look for Adam Rayls.. He has a T3 and he is always very fast on oval carpet anywhere he goes, so I'd look him up for setup

Is TTT Trinity Tech Talk? is Adam Rayls his username?

to the top of the page

yes it is trinity tech talk.he goes by aerayles on there.you might also look up BUTCH on here his name is butch beebe and he runs truck and is prety fast and he is from michigan also.moss c'mon man give the guy some of your secrets.lol

It wont let me email or PM aeRayls, so I cant contact him!!! Could someone get me his email address if its alright with him?

You should talk to Tom at Spec Point Batts. He has a T3 that runs awesome on the rug....

c'om yokeman... I'm not a T3 setup dude but i can make a 10T run like a bat out of heah....LMAO :thumbsup: I'll see how I can get rayls e-mail address

I got aeRayls email address last night from a buddy of his. THANkS though!!!

Here's my 2 cents and i've only been racing trucks for 15 years

80w shock oil w/ whatever pistons u have, spacers in the shocks to get the truck as low as possible! springs LF,LR & RR all green RF blue
std castor in the front
camber left side 0-1/2 deg positive Right side 2 deg negative
U musht have ZERO rear toe in to go fast and u can do that by using 3 deg hubs and reversing them (left on the right and right on the left ) or u can use hammad ghuman 0 deg rear mounts
Tires ...use T/m BRAND
LF green
RF blue
Rear green
the t/m's are narrower,lighter and therfore are faster
what size track u running on ? i couls give u a starting ratio and what motor u using ? Good Luck !

t.m tires are just flat out the best tires made.

"IF" they are legal at your track. :) Check to make sure you don't have to use 2.2x2 wheels before buying. BTW, like johnq said, you might try talking to Tom at Spec Point Concepts (www.specpointbatteries.com) as his T3 really scoots on carpet.

Hey how come your "spec point" battery link does'nt work ? Just wondering , wanted to look .....

Well as far as track size i really dont no, but I would consider it a small track.

I plan on using the Trinity spec 21 turn motor (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXNL80&P=0). This motor is allowed becuase its more of a stock/spec truck class.

For are stock/spec truck class you have to have rubber tires so i have striker 2's. Are the T/M brand tires foam tires or rubber? If rubber could someone give me the link to them. THANKS!!!

Does having 0 degress rear toe in help alot with speed or is it not noticeable?

THANKS for everyones help so far!!!

Cause I screwed up the link url. :o Have a look now.

TM tires are foams on narrowed up wheels so they won't do you any good in your case.

Yes it helps quite a bit.

I used to race 19t oval truck. I put alittle pan car thinking in to it. Get the battery on the left side, and slam that truck to the ground. Also check out this website. mo-motorracing.com. They have O deg. motor plates and racing gears for the tranny.

What's up Ray?

Dustin,
JonR is right. He used to beat me... when I let him!
TM tires are foamies. You may want to consider 19turn truck class in Mt. Pleasant. They are faster, use foam tires and you will race with guys that are there to race not play. There... I said it.
We may be running Brushless 5800 in the trucks at Mt. Pleasant too!

I'm gonna stick with stock truck for now since i've only raced twice so far. Atleast until I get more experience.

Hey Scott,
Who's runnin' brushless truck with you? I think you should run the 5.5 motor. Hah Hah

hi Jon,
I think Brian and a couple other guys said they might switch.
Rumor has it that they will have B/L trucks in Lansing too.
Probably gonna be the 5800 though!
Scott

OvalTrucker are you still racing stock truck?

These are awesome for Oval trucks
www.factoryworks.com

Thankz for the tips so far, i'll have to try them next time i hit the track.

Hey Scott,
Why don't you try the 5.5 in your truck. That would be lots of fun.

U musht have ZERO rear toe in to go fast and u can do that by using 3 deg hubs and reversing them (left on the right and right on the left ) or u can use hammad ghuman 0 deg rear mounts
How exactly do you switch them my dad tried this but the tranny wouldnt fit when he switched them.

Switch the hubs ? or the toe in blocks ?

I'll have to try that.

Switch the hubs ? or the toe in blocks ?
Is that how you get 0 degrees rear toe-in? :confused: I dont see how that would do anything.

in the stock class at mp you have to run rubber tires stock motor and either spec batteries or 1600's as far as setup for the track i actually threw on a set of stock setup shocks and stiffened up the right front and it handles well at this track trying to stay out of trouble is the biggest thing you can do and don't forget to ask some of the veteran racers at the track for a hand. most of the racers at mp will be glad to help you if you ask. good luck this sat. i'll be their running 19t truck

good luck this sat. i'll be their running 19t truck
Thankz, but i wont be racing this weekend because i have a football game :(. I'll be there for the race in November though :)

Hobbyten,
Did you know that we may running a brushless 5800 truck class? I don't know if it has been decided what exactly is going to happen. There was talk of combining the 2 classes. I am not sure how that will work out.
either way, I plan on being there to race trucks too.
see ya there!

i've have a truck all set to go i hope
