01-24-2006, 08:06 AM
Running,elec.tc , nitro tc, im gonna bring a 1/12 scale and try it(may be too rough). I ran rubber last time on nitro tc ,gonna try foams this time. There are acouple of 4300 brushless running with stock.

Slider
01-24-2006, 09:52 AM
ts.I really don't know what all they have been running as for classes. I believe they have been running just whatever. Till there are enough to start making classes. I may be wrong. If so somebody correct me please.

That's pretty much it SLIDER. We've had some slow months, now it's picking back
up. Not worring about being strict on the classes, although I don't know much
about onroad rules yet either, I'll let COOPERS and LAKE determine when and how
we're going to set them up. Right now it's just good to see some faces running.
Looks like I'm going to be running onroad for the next few race weeks, 'cause two
of my 3 offroad cars are out of commision.

B.A. Sanders. Gotta keep a spare engine on hand for when they break,cause we know they will,it's just when. Has anyone Tried those wonderful Takeoffs on the onroad? I know there worthless as tit's on a bore hog,as far as oval touring.

What do you mean by "takeoffs"?

What do you mean by "takeoffs"?


Take Off Tires (https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/seekpart.pl?pn=TOCS27&showbig=6809)


That is the name of the most common used touring tire. they come in differnet compounds and are ranged by temp. cs-22 for colder surface and cs-32 for hot. they have also come out with a RP series that dont last as long as CS tires but suppose to give better grip. they come premounted or you can buy them in pairs un-mounted. Ed sells them at SCU and that's what everyone uses.

What do you mean by "takeoffs"?

You takeoff whats left and put another one on after a hit

Awhile back we tried a spec tire for the tourning cars on the oval to help with the high cost of tire. BSR's was the shizzel but at 30+ a pair it scared people away.

Slider
01-24-2006, 05:57 PM
! Starpower.I know all about the take-offs. I just plain don't like em.

left turner
01-24-2006, 10:07 PM
Slider, believe it or not the last two times i raced it did the best with bsr,s on the front and takeoffs on the rear.(that was running nitro tc, going to try foams this weekend).

Slider you going to make the drive Sat., looks like the rain is moved to Sun. I will get out there myself about 12-1. I am going to try and work the dirt oval again just incase anyone wants to race it. I am still working on the sprinter, just have not had the time to get it where I want it. Work and work around the house and then fishing hunting racing. I want to pop that wing on ther Drake 2 and let it rip.

Looks like the weathers gonna be okay for saturday. Planning on running the buggy or truck on the oval if enough shows.

I'll get up with you Brent to let you know if I need you to go ahead and sign me in. I might not be able to make it by start time. Its usually close to 2:00 before I leave the pit.

Hey Slider, I miss it bad. Work don't allow me to get out like I use too. I've got a Losi XXXS I might have to get ready if theres going to be a lot of onroad cars running. I'll bring it just in case. Got a good set of wore out tires on it I could finish off.

B.A. Sanders
01-26-2006, 11:30 PM
Thanks guys for the "takeoff" info. Slider, don't worry, this will be my first time
running onroad too.

Extreme, just let me know, call me on the radio.

As some of you know, we've had computer problems and wasn't able to use it
the last race. I've gotten another one and have someone working on it now.
He told me he would have it working for this weekend, so keep fingers crossed
and someone bring a stop watch just in case. Also anyone that's coming, if
you have a shop light that's on a stand, please bring it. Dark just about got us
last time on the onraod. Also I have my hands on 10 gallons of sealer, soon as
we get a chance, we'll put it on (but not this Sat.). Will see everyone Sat.

What a great night of racing!!!! Had lots of folks, great turnout!!!! For those of you
that missed it, here's what we had:

Six touring stock, four touring nitro, five 1/8 scale buggy, and six monster offroad.
There was some insane racing on all four races. We run 10 minute mains on the
offroad. Here's your winners:

Touring Stock- Brent Sanders (by default, wasn't because of my driving, lol--Mark
Holt had this one in the bag if he wouldn't have broke out, he lapped me twice!)

Touring Nitro- Bill Bailey

1/8 Scale Buggy(10 minute main)- Scott Foshee (had 2 lap lead over everyone.
2nd and 3rd had a .1 second difference, NOT 1 minute, NOT 1 second, but
1/10th of a second!! Great racing ya'll.)

Monster Offroad- Brandon Reed

Lots of fun, we need to thank Bill Bailey for the awesome work on the onroad!

See ya'll next time!

I think Brent about said it all...

Thanks to Brent and Scott for keeping things going on a fast pace.

We managed to pack alot of racing into a fairly short period of time.

Ron- We missed you... I hope to get the bugs worked out of my new Serpent for next time.

Bill - Please keep us updated if you are planning to come out and work on the on-road this weekend.

Have a good week...

Nice to see some old faces as well as new ones. I had a good time dispite XXXS in such bad shape. Got some of the bugs worked out of it. Put a new servo saver on, different Rx, and esc., matched shocks. All I need is a set of tires and some track time to fine tune my driving skills. It's a lot different than dirt oval. Hope to be ready to run next time.

Thanks Slider for the pit space.
