Quick question.... Does XRC's amb system pick up personal transponders? Thank you!

Sorry, it will only pick up house transponders. Hope to afford a AMB rc system by spring.....

No od at this time, is on next order. May be a while before i get it. Have Byron, traxxas, trinity power blend, white lightning.

Charles,
I can pick up a gallon for you if you need me to.

I guess I am lucky, I am going to race electric saturday morning then 1/8th nitro saturday night in Jefferson then race my Revo at the THUNDER RACE.

Who is running Monster Truck on Sunday?

I might. I believe it open monster so any motor combo and mods are allowed. I maybe be wrong but have my unsavage running and am ready to kill!

Open it is, lets rumble!

As long as the blade is off..............

I'm looking forward to comming sunday. I'm a 1st timer at xrcsports & will be looking for friends from medina & to make new ones too! :wave:

Are there many electric entrys, if so what are popular classes or should I bring nitro? Thanks!

Rick A.

Rick,
It is 99.9% nitro. Ruben ran stock truck against the gas trucks and kicked but. I would bring nitro. Just come out and have some fun.

OK Doug, 1/8 buggy & gas truck it is. Been wanting to try a new clutch in my truck anyway.
I'll be looking for a pitman. Thanks

We are bringing two CRT's and I'll have my Losi 8 ..... We have never been to this track so we are looking forward to it...should be a good time!

I am always willing to help.
See you there.

Scuba - I'm driving a black dakota w/ cap, stop by & say hello.

Badass - Will you save me a spot near by to pit? Nice VW!

Bigcheese, I'll keep an eye out for ya.....I'll be in a Red ext cab Dodge Ram ..... 6'3 bald guy!! LOL!!!

Anyone going to run electric tomorrow?

Mike
Don't Need Nitro To Go Fast!!

hope you dont run that savage dave, my revo will never keep up! by the way, did you ever get your radio fixed?
hope to see all there tomorrow

Unsavage is awsome......

The unsavage lives!
It needs a tune but looks good if i can keep it running. It doen't yurn tight but makes up for it in speed. It will eat revos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I did not get my sensor back so all of my cars and trucks have regular radios in them. :(
Oh well I'm ready for an early start as I didn't get time to tune any of my trucks before tomorrow.
I have some for sale also If anyone wants some good deals as I have too many cars and trucks right now.

ok, ill b there too early tryin to get my tmaxx runnin

well good race all! track was great john, keep it up

I had a great time. Scuba steve I may be wrong but thanks for fixing the link or whatever came loose on the unsavage. I appreciate all the help out there. Was a great bunch of people there today. Congrats to all the winners. We had great weather for a late year race. I tried to do as good as I could in truggy but glitching servo mad it hard to really control it well. At least it ran all og the main until the last 10 seconds it flamed out.

Well guys I just want to thank XRC.... I had a really good time today and met alot of cool people...... Everyone was very helpful and the drivers drove with respect for each other and that makes it fun for all. I'm happy that I got to race my Losi 8 finally!....and at a great track that was alot of fun to run on.....Keep up the good work and I hope to be back soon!

FZ1, No problem, it was just the outside ball cup... I wish I could of fixed it faster but I had to wait for needle nose pliers!... Take care!

Thanks again XRC!
Steve Culbert

OK.
No problem with the time it took to fix as I'm a very relaxed racer and race just to be driving on a track but the help was appreciated. Your buggy was hooked up nice. What place did you finish in the main as I didn't see all of the results.

Steve took first place in Buggy A Main. Congrats, Great driving. Congrats to all. Very nice day of racing.... :thumbsup:

Great day, thanks for the track time!
Hey guys, if you find a 100 ft extension cord that was plugged in to the sign by the road can you bring it with you to Ashtabula for the triple crown.

XRC1, Thank you!

Badassrevo, It was there when we left, we just figured it belonged to the track hopefully someone grabbed it for you.

Man I wish I could have made it!!

Chris

Ok, Thanks

Great day, thanks for the track time!

Scuba...nice job with the 8...I thought I was haulin ass...till you passed me twice :drunk:

badassrevo...that was quite the show...front end dragging on the ground and you never let up :thumbsup:
Gotta throw out a big thanks to my pit man Chris (he was driving the Jato)... no matter how many times he was gang raped by the MTs, he still stuck it out for the whole race :wave:

Tim, Ruben...see you guys @ jefferson for the next truggy party :hat:

Scrapheep, Thank you!... I think I just got lucky.... The 8 handles great and I did'nt have any mechanical problems at all plus my pit guys really did a great job...... Thanks again to everyone, I had a great time :)

Hey scrapheap this is chris, yah i liked how the mt's used me as a speed bump but threw themselves into the wall doing it, took the engine apart today and its spotless and everything is smooth as glass. There was no reason for me to stall in the main, had to be a rock in the flywheel. It sucks because i could have placed better.

I think i used you for a berm by accident one time. Sorry. Wasn't intentional.

HAHA its cool i think everyone used me as some kind of ramp or berm at some point. Its great racing with you guys, everyone is cool and helpful. Still learning, i will be joining the 1/8 buggy class next year. About to order a losi 1/8 buggy. Can't wait to build it. It's going to drive me nuts all winter.

hey bumps-n-jumps will be open nov 3rd so you can run all winter long.(in between paintball haha)

fox, i know i went over you a couple times, it was hard to see you becuase your car is just a little smaller than the others, but like fz1 said, it wasnt intentional
