It's a good thing that I changed my name. I no longer own a savage. :cry: I had to sell it so I can pay a couple bills. :( I hope that I can save enough money by next spring to get another one to race.

im coming to the area to visit and wanted to know when you race and some of the classes that are run. i will be in the area oct.9-12 and would like to race there. any info would be grewatly apprec.
rpmduc

Suger D! ya get that thing runnin yet?


Sorry rpmduc, ya just missed dirt season. I'm gonna hope to head up to the track on saturday's and maybe sunday's this month. I gotta set up and dial in a radio and esc. So if your lookin for someone to run w while your in the area ....

Yup, it's running. I took my esc and motor out of my LXT and put them in the buggy for now. If the weather is any good on friday, I might go over and see how it does.

rpmduc......like Polli said, sorry but we are done with our outdoor season and from the looks of it just in time as the weather has been terrible this week. If you'd like to stop by and run a few practice laps however, you are more than welcome to!

Sugar D.......I sure hope you got close to what that beast was worth! :freak: Sorry you had to part with your favorite toy though. :cry: From the sounds of things the track won't be in much of a running shape till next week sometime. You guys don't realize just how glad I am to have gotten that race in last week.

Sugar Daddy and anyone else that has a XX/XXX buggy. This is the place I was telling you about that has "direct fit" pre mounted wheels/foams. Click here (http://www.tm-rc-racingcomponents.com)

There are a few guys in the oval section here that swear by TMs tires so I just thought I'd pass it along since some of you might want to try them. :thumbsup:

Pollie,
I saw the pics. on the net that showed an indoor carpet track as well. Is it up and running elec. touring yet? that is what I'd like to do when I come up. Haven't done much touring(elec.)that is. All of my oval stuff is out of date for here, if you know anyone looking for an L3.

rpmduc

rpmduc......sorry, can't help you there either. :( We don't start our indoor season until November. Unfortunately we've never had a very good TC turnout either. :(

I have a brand spankin new XXX-S graphite waiting for some carpet.....So if anyone else out there has a touring car maybe we can revitalize the class?! I'd be happy just making left turns w the thing. I'm still gonna bring it, just to see if I can break it.

Rick I dunno when I'm gonna be up next to grab that check book. Both me and the missus are now using our thumbs for transportation

And Sugar D... I took out the 9304 and put that JR servo in my triple xand I like it enuff to keep it there. Not that the 9304 is much slower, just that the z590m matches

Polli...........uh oh, Tracker lettin' ya down huh? That checkbook'll be here whenever you make it over. :thumbsup:

Sugar D........if your gonna practice you better get it done! A couple small puddles is all I think and they can be easily swept off. Track looks surprisingly good for the rain we've had the last few days.

Rick Don't let "HER" hear ya say that, It's a SIDEKICK. Yea Sidekick right in the *?#!

Whoops.........SIDEKICK. :)

Rick... did anyone get there check from the fair assc. ? I never herd another word about it... or did i misunderstand? And one more thing, whats the lenghth of your shocks (extended) on your nitro evader? I think i'm gonna try and come up with a hybrid for next year.

Todd.....they don't come out till sometime in October so if you'll be getting one it'll be sometime this month. I'll have to check the shock length tomorrow though.

Thanks Rick.

SHOOT! I'll write myself a note and make sure I measure those tomorrow for you. Got my oldtimers kicking in again and forgot. :)

I didn't know it ever kicked out? :lol:

Who asked ya buddha? :jest:

as your GOD you can send all your contributions to........ :D

Todd

Fronts - approx. 3-13/16"
Rears - approx. 4-5/16"

Hey Rick, do you build battery packs? I got one done, then my iron died. :drunk:

thanks :thumbsup:

Anyone looking for Losi parts?? Go here: Parts (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3148019561&category=44028) It ends soon!

WOW I could run my old Losi for another 13 years with all those Ole Lo' goodies! Boy, if we just knew somebody with a hobby shop, huh? :p

Hey Rick, do you build battery packs? I got one done, then my iron died. :drunk:

I could slap the other one together for you no problem Shaun. Just let me know when you'd like it done.

I think I'm going to puke. Why couldn't I have checked this last night? :mad: That went for $76! UNBELIEVABLE!! Son of a ............ :mad:

Thanks Rick. I'll be over friday afternoon. I hope the track is a little dryer too. I want to see what the buggy will do! By the way, the guy that sold the losi parts is the guy that owns Dreamboat Hobbies in warren.

Shaun........no problem and the track is pretty darn dry right now. Yep I knew that was the guy from Warren.

hey rick could i run this next off-road season or is it unfair

Whatever trips your trigger. :lol:

I take it, it was Fox's night at the Eaton household? :jest:

how did you know :rolleyes:

btw rick did you get my dads phone message?

how did you know :rolleyes:

btw rick did you get my dads phone message?

Kinda looked like you guys were cartin' pizzas. :)

Yea I got the phone message. I'll get the Deans speed jig. It's about the best available but still doesn't cost a fortune. If you guys are planning to do 3300s however you'll need to dremel the jig a little because I don't think there is a jig made to work well with those cells without some modification. :(

Sugar D........when you come over tomorrow, better wait till the afternoon because I have to be at the Dr. in the morning but should be back by noonish.

Ut oh guys...guess who's gettin an E-Maxx. :devil:

Anybody know the part number for a 0* pivot block for the XXX? Or any way of making mine 0*. I think that it would be better for speed and wear on tires if the back-end was 0*. I don't think that the 3* toe-in is needed on carpet.

Hey Rick... here is that video of the savage on 2 wheels.

Video (http://mysite.verizon.net/vze532tc/savage.mov)

Sugar D.......nobody makes a 0 degree that I've found.........but.....you can get some of the hubs made for the XXX-NT and put them in backward (opposite sides than they are made for). This in effect lessens or removes the rear toe. I can't remember the part numbers without looking at Losis' site though.

does any one know where you can find cvds for the center shafts for a maxx? I found it once but forgot where I found it. and I bet trashedmaxx would like to know to right?

the part # mip 1495 i just bought some from stormer a few weeks ago heres a link https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/seekpart.pl?pn=MIP1495 and here are the ue centers https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/seekpart.pl?pn=UE13513T

Anybody that should be getting a check from the Fair race.

They are available at the Fair office. If you would like us to pick them up for you, please let me know. We do not have a time frame on when they will be mailed out if you don't pick them up or have us do so. Just an FYI. :)

Hey Rick, if you could pick mine up, that would be great. I can't get away from the boss's whip at the moment. :mad:

Will do Boss. :thumbsup:

Yup, I'm bored! We need to start racing soon. :freak: Oh, by the way, I have an "interesting" new buggy for the 4WD class. What do you think? :D

http://www.rcpics.net/media/big_buggy.jpg

hey that looks like my clod evader :lol:

I can hear the bitching already! :lol:

Yeah, I can hear whoever is pitting off turn 1 bitching when Sugar D tries to turn and it goes straight into their pit table! :freak:

Hmmmmm... your right. I forgot about turning! Back to the drawing board! ;)

Rick, if you would, could you pick up my check too. I'll be over Saturday to get it, plus i've got about 100 questions for ya. tanx

Todd......I figured as much so I told Mom to pick them all up. The woman is bringing them in to work and Moms gonna bring them home with her tomorrow. :thumbsup: Only 100?? Boy your slippin'. :jest:
