I started this thread for you guys.

Well.....since wmrcracing.com is shut down, I'll ask here and hope someone sees this. What time does the New Years Eve race start on Sun?

i dont know was kinda curious of that also, im guessing thought it will be around 6 or 7 \, actually maybe earlier cus they are running onroad also

Just called Tony .The track will open around 1-2 pm and racing will start as soon as they can :).If you show up after racing starts they will add you.They are going to run the heats untill midnight (ya baby I cant wait) .The mains will start after midnight as in the past.Dont for get bring your onroad cars.

I also hear they are going to leave an on road layout? that way all the truck/buggy's and sedan/12th guys can run at the same time? Is there any truth to this?

yes the track will be flat so everyone can run

I assume it will be a pot luck just like last year?

I also hear they are going to leave an on road layout? that way all the truck/buggy's and sedan/12th guys can run at the same time? Is there any truth to this?

So..... I'm looking forward to it!!

Well I plan on running some 19t sedan tomorrow.. Or stock, what ever has a better turn out.. I'd be intersted in running the Johnson class is someone had some rubber tires and a motor I could borrow for the night! lol I hope someone shows for some good ole sedan racing!

Happy New Year everybody, I had a blast last night. Thanks to all

Hey Guy! Nice to see your name on the forums! You best be working on VRC. The winter series is starting in a couple days.. You should get in it.. First race is on Heemstede! That's max's fav track I beleive.. it's gona be a blast! We'll have to all work on setups together and make USA look good! :thumbsup:

Jr WON?!?! Cool beans! I guess he and Marty were the ones dukeing it out?

Im not ready for vrc winter series yet..... ive only raced 3 of the tracks and heemstede is not one of them..... but I will keep workin at it....

also I use associated ntc3 on vrc.... you said you did not like that car.... i think its awsome.... but most of the set ups work for all cars.... as far as i can see

Dont forget to stop by riders tonight Mr. Clean. :thumbsup:

Hey can any one giv eme some help on my ESC.
I put it in my truck tonight and when I turn the wheel it powers
the motor. THe throttle also powers the motor. The throttle seems to be working right. It only happens when I turn the wheel left and not right.
Any ideas.

Thanks,

Ted

Just to let you know. I figured it out. My last post.
I had an extended pre-senior moment LOL

Hey Mr Clean!

What are your plans for this weekend? You gona make it to WMRC on saturday? How's VRC coming along?

Just to let you know. I figured it out. My last post.

Thanks,

TedI'll take a wild guess..... you had the servo wires and the esc wires switched maybe?
BTW: Ted, it was great to see you the other day!!

I had the esc plugged into the battery spot on my receiver and the steering servo pluged in the wrong spot too. Felt like an idiot when I figured it out.
Nice to see you too.

Anyone interested in running some mod touring at WMRC this saturday? I'd be up for either 19t or mod. LMK

Why yes. There should be a decent class (for around here at least) of 4 or so of us. Myself, Mockerman, and Jeffy are all planning on running mod saturday. I'm sure Kuenning (I apologize if I massacred the spelling) could be convinced as well to break some more axles. :p

See you guys saturday,

You actually got the spelling of it right!!!! Chris wont be there this weekend...he wants to stay at skool and hang with his College friends rather than hang with his RC friends.

Max K

as for me... i'd love too, but my car is setup for 19turn rubber.

Well if Chris isn't using the car.... It would be a shame to see it go to waist... ;)

If not you have 16 hours to change that setup before the doors open!

Nevermind to that quote above... Is brushless ok???. as long as we make it and open mod class??

Max K

Well as much as I'd love to run some mod I dont think I'll be able to.. I was doing some testing tonight at riders.. Well let's just say 262 degrees doesn't go well with an electric motor.. So I dont have a mod motor at the moment, nor do I have the proper pinion gear to use a mod motor ;) So I guess it's either 19t or stock for me.. Unless there was someone willing to donate to the cause! :thumbsup:

Is brushless ok???.


Yup, cuz that is what Mockerman and I are running.

Mike

Mike,
I'll bring a mod motor with me to Riders that you can use for the day if you want to stop and pick it up.

Thanks a ton for the motor today Fred, That baby was screaming!! I'm gona have get me one of them there missle in a can motor's now! :thumbsup:

No problem Mike.
I know you had the print out from your race with you yesterday and it showed that you were the big winner and thats great. However the question I have for you is this. How much faster were you with a 7X1? If you are atleast 2 tens faster per lap then running 19turn on avarage then you are really fast. :thumbsup:

Mike,

How was mod yesterday?? did you do good. LMK im planning on going to the hobby-sports trophy race. wanna join me??

Max K

Actually things went very well for my first time running mod.. The car as always was running very good. The 7x1 I got from Fred was a missle. And I seemed to be able to drive it just as consistant as I do a 19t.. Mockerman put some seriouse pressure on me in the Main.. I had all I could take just trying to stay in front of him.. and finally he made a little mistake and gave me about 4 seconds of breathing room till the end of the race. It was a lot of fun.. I found out today though my front diff took a beating.. Had to do some work on it at Hobby-Sports.. All in All it was a great experince running mod, and I really wana do it more.. I just gota get some money together to get a couple motors.. I have nothing right now.. And Yes I'll be at the trophy race. Not sure if I'll run 19t or stock yet. See ya there! TTYL

Mike,

Well I'm not exactly sure how much faster I was with that than a 19t becuase that was a totaly new layout than the last time I ran 19t up there.. and all I ran the whole day was the 7x1... I do feel that I was faster than with a 19t.. and I think Jason was useing a 19t all day.. So that should give me a pretty good idea how fast I would have been with a 19t, being we useally run very simlar lap times.. Who knows.. maybe this weekend I'll run a 19t and see how much slower I am..

I'm not gona be able to to make it this satruday to run mod again.. I have some things to do with the band.. I need to get some motors and pinion's anyway. I'll try to make it out the following weekend.. TTYL

I'm not gona be able to to make it this satruday to run mod again..

That's a bummer. It will be another top-notch crowd again in sedan. Mockerman, myself and Murray will be running for sure along with who ever else makes it. The Rottman actually talked about running mod with us as well. It is amazing who comes out of the woodwork to run sedan when you start bolting in some real power and leave the spec (and I use that term loosley) motor game behind.

BTW, since I have your attention, what rollout were you running with the 7x1. I have a few Oscar Jansen signature motors that showed up... :eek:

The other Mike

You still plannin on running the johnson class tomorrow The other Mike?

Yes sir! I will be busting some butt tonight to get gear in the TA05. It won't be sporting the Benz body yet but it will be road worthy. The big question is will I be road worthy after working on it all night.... :tongue:

Yeah I know.. It sucks.. But we are auditioning a new drummer.. So they say I gota be there.. :( I'll go to riders tonight to get some practice in.. And for sure the trophy race at Hobby-Sports. I'll get me R/C fix for the weekend!

Gearing. I talked to fred about that one when I borrowed his motor.. and He told me to get in the .70 range.. I starter with a .73 , and stayed there all day.. I feel I could have geared up a tooth from that, because with your fan, the motor never got over 165 degrees. But being it was a loaner motor, I didn't wana make the same mistake I've made in the past, with a certian 19t! :tongue:

Mike,

So how did mod go today guys? Sure wish I could of been there. Did rotman make it out?
