Mike

I'm running a GT-40 with a wing and will probably have a Lotus as well. Sick of the stupid TC bodies. Yea I know they have aero, but I don't think I've gotten to the point were I can tell the difference yet. Add more wing!!

Plannin on it. After the torture treatment today, I should be okay for tomorrow night.

Cool see ya there!

I can also start putting my parking lot racer together. Got all the bling I need.

you should trade in some bling for an airbag.

I have a plutonium air bag deployment system. It doubles as a weapon down the straight.

you're going to hurt yourself.

My parking lot car has been ready for four months, Mitch what exactly have you been doing with this time off, working on cars is not apparent.

Really getting to know it!

I'd just like to add that track set up starts around 8:30 - 9:00. Help with set up is ALWAYS welcome. Might even have doughnuts!;)

Hey guys,

I dont know if you guys have seen the new Tamiya RWD Sedan? Awesome choice of bodies, not the regular hum drum sedans...... Dirt simple pan car type suspension which always works well outdoors. ITs catching on in other parts of the country and -YES_you can run it on CS27's!!! Could be a SUPER FAST, great handling and BUDGET mnded class. I am sure Steve could bring them in.

Heres a pic of it and information: http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58367


btw-the kits $109.00 and doesnt appear to be in need of any hop-ups.

I got one of those $100 Tamiya cars. I think it was called a mini cooper. I was not all that impressed!

You never ran your Cooper. How do you know how it runs. When we ran them at Berea, with ROAR stock motors, the four of us that ran them regularly usually ran enough laps to qualify into the TC A main.

As long as the Mad Mechanic Stu doesn't get ahold of one.:jest:

oh yeah, let me at it! I need another 9-wheeled blue & white travelin' machine :freak:

I'll even bring my STOCK Mini Cooper if anyone else wants to play. Stock except for oil shocks and bearings. It's even got the Tamiya ESC, factory tires and silver can motor. Although I may upgrade to the aluminum knucks for the HT demo derby, I mean race.

Come On Joey!

bump!

Hey Mr. T! Did HT ever get my assoc. shock kits in?

Nice work Associated, now they leak from the top instead of the bottom!

GABE

Hey Mr. T! Did HT ever get my assoc. shock kits in?dont know ross didnt work this week i am in school now as well as working stupid hours LOL

Hey Guys,

I want to fit in some parking lot racing with your clan this summer. Just wondering if electric is available?
Also, Any set up tips for TC on asphalt?

Thanks!

HEY ROSS,I CAN'T FIND THE SHOCK KITS ANYWHERE...SORRY MAN....DAVE

Gabe, wont be buying your touring car, thanks anyway.

dan medved

No problem Dan, it was 150 for the rolling chasis and servo, 180 with all the spare parts. After seeing all the parts, it would have been worth it.

If you get here early, you can tap into the extension cord that runs the timing computer, but there's only so much juice the circuit can handle. Best to bring a car battery and run your chargers off that. A pit table and canopy or umbrella is a good idea, too. Early arrival also lets you help with setting up the track and that means you're one of the good guys :thumbsup:

As far as setup goes, a little extra ride height, softer springs, and the Take-Off tires seems to be the hot ticket, but it depends on the car you're running. Keeping it off the boards is the best advice :p

Time to bring 'em out again? I drove my stocker around today and had a blast.

I'm gonna run this up the flagpole and see if anyone cares to salute:

Mini Cooper Spec class:

Silver can motor, one per vehicle :p
TEU-01B ESC or $50 limit
no matched packs, possible Spec pack: HobbyTown/Trinity 2000 mAh LiveWire pack, $12.99
$20 limit on steering servo, transmitter & receiver open
"mini" size tires only, inserts open
shocks/springs open
ball bearings and alloy knuckles allowed, Tamiya hop-ups such as ball diff and sway bars allowed, other mods at race director's discretion.

This rule set allows some experimentation while keeping costs reasonable. Since the Cooper now comes with the TEU-01B ESC and still only costs $99.99, anyone with an extra receiver can build a spec racer for very little cash and have some fun. Not all the hop-ups are necessary; you can have one going for $129.06 plus tax:

99.99 Cooper
11.49 servo
12.99 battery
4.59 paint for the body

If you don't have a spare receiver, buy a Magnum Sport for $45 and subtract the cost of the servo, and you're still barely over $160. Another $12 gets you some Boca bearings.

You've got a complete car for about the same price as a GTX speed control. Add some oil-filled shocks if you really want to be high-tech.

There's a reason this kit has been around so long. It's a lot of fun for the money! Let's run 'em, and I promise to leave Twinkie on the sidelines.

rules stink.

Stink is as Stink does. :freak:

Stu - Thanks for the good advice.

wanted to make sure I could find this quote again.

What are the rules regarding flame throwers and spiked hubcaps?

Hey Mitch, flame throwers are limited to 50,000 btu and can only be mounted in the rear of your car, spikes can not be longer than 3 inches
see you outside
Mike

Hey cepaw, come out and race the Finale!!!

Gotta dial down the flame thrower a few thousand BTU and file my spikes then.

We running 1 or 2 turn motors? And how many? Are the races going to be 30 or 45 min.s. And does the car really have to be painted pink and purple?

These are questions that must be answered!

So what are the popular classes outside? I have a purpose built 4wd rubber tire car I wouldnt mind shaking the cobwebs off this summer. Mini coopers are dirt cheap new or even used.
