What about the "GREEN33 SHOW UP AND SPANK CHRIS 500" :lol: :wave:

Talks getting deep. I think he just be the man to beat. Lets see the track is a whooping 12 min from his house maybe. I know we will be on it every day until our cars are UNTOUCHABLE :thumbsup:

Maybe we can use that green car as a pace car or something :D

I didn't know they made 1/4 scale Beetle bodies, huh :confused:

Ok, how bout the "GREEN33 SHOW UP AND SPANK CHRIS AND ANY PINK CARS 500" :jest:

:rolleyes: You know Your not allowed to smoke that stuf when you race. :(

Boy, it is getting deep in hear. all this smack and how long before racing.

Not soon enough, You know I think an little wager may be in order. I need someone to carry that pink car back to the store after it spanks some green Beetle :tongue:

Hi All,

If you have pictures of your 2007 Qscale ride please send them to me and I’ll post them in the “Photo Gallery” link on the QSAC site.

Also, if you have any vintage ¼ scale photos, or Mag. articles that you would like to share please submit those as well.


Thank you,
Scott

Any one want to weigh in on engine rebuilding? How long between? Notice in power loss? Sounds funny? Just curious of what to watch for, or just plain maintenance. I've ran my red cap for two seasons with no rebuilds and no problems at all, but some preventative maint. tips would be a huge help.And besides, I can't back up all that smack I was talkin' with a beat down engine!!! :wave: GOGREEN33

I was going to say, all of that smack, and now comes the excuses already. You better get your little ride all tip top, I don’t need to here well your guys have new cars, or the planets went aligned or something. No excuses :tongue: Just think of the smack if I beat you, a "seasoned" 1/4 scale driver. :wave:

Just don't forget to paint a yellow stripe on your bumper "ROOKIE" LOL. :eek: :wave:

Just don't forget to paint a yellow stripe on your bumper "ROOKIE" LOL. :eek: :wave:
Is that to remind you that a rookie just passed you ? :p

Well, at least we can have some fun smack talkin', thats more than I can say say for some!!!! C'mon spring!!!! :)

What is best method of truing 1/4 scale tires? anyone make a homemade truing machine?

I"ve never heard of anyone truing 1/4 scale tires. Maybe you can, but if it does happen, I also would like to know. :wave:

Y do U want to true them U by them the size U want???????

Do you mean balance?

most of the time they are trued better than anyone else can do .
it has been tried lots of times by lots of people here in michigan.
the big thing is the balance .

IN2RACIN.No Sir.I do not mean balance. That is easy. Im talking about making the tire perfectly round. As with a tire lathe. reason, on a tire that starts getting "coned".make it tru.

Okay im a 1/10 scale pancar nut. and i want my tires perfect. Every little detail helps.

tring to true the tire you need to spin the tire very fast.
then sand or cut the tire . this heats up the tire more than
when its running on the track and causes the glue holding
the band to the host or the foam insert to let go.
ending in a ruined tire that you just paid good money for.

coning is stoped by camber adjustment posable front or rear on 1/4 scale

Most use temp gun to get within 10 degrees across contact patch, I use this method and have great results. Also ,check often to ensure temps. :wave:

coning is stoped by camber adjustment posable front or rear on 1/4 scale

I understand this. But if you get in a collision and something gets overlooked. a tire will get coned rather quickly.

Really was seeing if anyone pays them small details in 1/4 scale.

you will bend a hiems? joint to get that . as in all other
forms of racing in the heat of the battle you must decide
if you want to stop and check your car or spend more money
after the first open practice is over LOL LOL

You can true the host, but if you have to true the tire itself, you waited way too long to fix something. The tire is toast.

9 times out of ten if you order tires from Bishop and WCM the hosts are trued , rather the hosts before the rubber cap is put on . Some of the other guys who mount their own or mount tires for people have a way to true up the hosts . They use different various methods . Todd Bishop has a rig set up he uses at the races I've seen him use . I've attempted this process myself and never got it right , probably because I haven't figured how to do it with a cigarette in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other , or I don't hold my tongue right . Anyways , I saw a rig used buy a fellow racer with using an electric motor with a wheel hub mounted on the shaft and sand paper on a hinged board used as a fulcrumb against the host as it spins . The geometry woud have to be worked out but it be possible to build something that like to true up the hosts before the cap is put on . I agree with the other guys , once the cap is on you can balance them but truing up the rubber will get costly . If the tires are coning , usually it means too much camber or something is bent or out of alignment somewhere .

I appreciate your input. Thanks all

I'm not sure but I don't think you're supposed to be using your tongue. I do understand the cigarette and coffee part though. Thanks Randy, you made me laugh.

Would that guy be Dave Pirrello? :)

Looking forward to those sprinters this year, Randy!!!

Where you at PINK Panther? hehehe- "GREENBEETLE" :devil: :wave:

Why yes he is one of the few people that come to mind . The tires he did for me on the QT worked well in my favor and still are used to this day . I always look forward to going to MPR . Looks like three times possible this year .

Scott,

The link to Information for the 1st NCS Race March 16th & 17th is posted here on the QSAC site is not working...well not for me anyway. :)
