I know there have been Nitro Oval threads in the past, but I just wanted to start a fresh thread with the '07 outdoor Oval season upcoming. Anyone with any helpful knowledge on the 1/10 scale Nitro pan car .09 or .12 series would be very welcomed to share there thoughts on such topics as chassis, engines and what all it takes to complete these cars etc., any advice to help anyone who may be interested.

Chassis:
BANDIT
COYOTE
HYPERDRIVE
KSG

Engines:
.09 AP HORNET
.12 O.S. Engines

Tires:
John's BSR Capps

I bought a .09 HD car and love it! the class is growing at our track and is one of the most fun and competitive we have.Mclin started the .09 series and you can check it out on his site RC-OVAL.COM plenty of good racing this year for the .09 guys.

Glad to see someone start a thread like this. As most know, we have a .09 series (RC-Oval .09 Series). All of the rules and race schedule can be found on my site.

GASCAR also has a nitro schedule using the .12 engine and you can find all of their rules and race schedule on their site, just do a Google search.

As for a gas chassis, Bandit, KSG, Hyperdrive and Coyote make up the ones that are available. The KSG and Coyote are being up graded for 07’. I have seen the KSG and it will follow the Gen 2 format. I haven’t seen the new Coyote yet but Tim told me that there will be a lot of changes to it.

As for what else you will need to go racing; you will need the appropriate engine (.09 or .12). For .09 the only engine allowed is the A.P. Hornet .09 with no internal engine mods allowed. The .12 is the O.S. 12 and the same deal about mods.

You will need a fuel tank (KSG has one in their kit). We use the Associated fuel tank and it is mandated. For the .09 series you will need to decide if you are going to run the Limited or Open class. The Limited class uses a blue exhaust stinger which is the same size as the stock one. The blue one is for ease of tech inspection. The Open class allows for a larger exhaust with the Gold stinger.

You will also need a two shoe clutch and clutch bell/pinion gear combination. The gear is limited in the Limited class but open in the faster Open class.

Also, if you have not run nitro before, you will need a starter box, receiver pack, glow plug igniter and fuel line. All nitro racing limits the fuel to 20 percent nitro. In the .09 series, you can practice with what ever brand you want but for the racing, we furnish 20 percent White Lighting.

As for the racing, we use a 5 min IFMAR format for the qualifiers and a Lap format for the main. (Usually 100 laps) The GASCAR series us more of an enduro type thing and they run 250 lap mains.

One more thing, the first race for the .09 series will be in the “real” Daytona International Speedway in March 23rd-25th in conjunction with Mike Beans 2007 Speedway Spectacular.

McLin, first of all let me say thanks for all your support in Nitro Oval Racing, can you give Mfg, P/N's for the whole clutch/clutch bell/flywheel assembly including the pinion/ spur gears, I am new to all this and would like to have P/N's to all the little pieces to complete the package, thanks again for all your support.

Rocket,

Give Mitch Robinson @ Mobile hobbies a call he can set you up with everything you need,(828) 627-8209 E-mail is mobilehobbies@charter.net

Clutch: MIP 4 N 1 clutch: #3012

Associated Fuel tank for GT10 #7719

Clutch nut: Associated #7604

Flywheel: Associated #7610

17 tooth clutch bell: Associated 7607 (you should have 15 – 18)

Kimbrough spur gears (32 pitch) 60, 62, 64 should cover most of it.

Air filter such as Motor Saver 10ST

KSG cooling head, flywheel tool, stingers, available thru my site for the .09’s

Starter box: I use the OFNA True Start #10258

Igniter: Too many to list but get a GOOD one

WOW, now that's what I call support, I have been looking on TOWER HOBBIES but didn't have a clue about the P/N's, thanks alot McLin, you helped me out alot. I had another question, does the engines bolt right on to the chassis or is there spacers needed?

KSG has there own motor mounts and so do Hyperdrive and Bandit. You will have to get the ones that fit your chassis. If you buy a new kit, they will be in there.

The new COYOTE RACING Nitro car is going to be something else. :thumbsup:

Do they have a website?

McLin did an article on the first edition COYOTE car, you can see it on his website,www.rc-oval.com, look under past articles, scroll to the bottom and look for The COYOTE that ROARS!

Lin, have you got the parts I need yet?

Working on it!

How much longer?

Cliff, not looking real good right now. If they do not come in Friday, it will be after the Birds before anymore are cut and then I am not sure how fast they will get on them.

Well, I guess I will just cross my fingers.

Do they have a website?

The contact info is on the site.

I spoke with Tim and he said that the new parts and materials are on order but it will be a while before the new car is ready. He is excited about the new car and as soon as I get something on it I will put it up on the Oval site.

Looking forward to it McLin. :thumbsup:

That coyote car is one serious machine.

pepe, the COYOTE cars are awsome and come pre assembled also.

McLin can you give me a fuel filter P/N?

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXPJG2&P=7 This is as good as any. Do a search for fuel filters and see them all.

McLin, can you give me some info on the throttle arm & linkage system, also on the servos & brakeing system. Also do you know the P/N's for all the parts and pieces need for the O.S. .12 CV-X engine, such as all the clutch flywheel bellcrank assembly, air filter and all that stuff, thanks for all your help.

Bandit and Hyperdrive us a Linkage system and it would be advisable to use what they have already designed for the car. KSG uses small Cables that are very flexable. You can get different size cable from Dubro and others and they are easier to use when designing your own system. Just be careful not to let the cables put extra "tweek" in the rear pod.

If you are going to try to make your own Linkage it will probably take a lot of trial and error to get it right because the servo throw and the linkage have to be ballanced to fully open the carb and still work the brake system. At the same time, it has to be free moving to prevent the throttle from binding.

So the linkage systems come with the car kits?

Yes they do. What car are you looking at?

I'm looking to get the new COYOTE RACING car when Tim gets them ready.

Ditto!

TTT

The new Coyotes have been showing real promise as of late.

Hopefully we will be able to get more of the out but to be honest with the nats coming up we are slammed!

The new Hyperdrive will be available this week.
