great job heath :thumbsup:
oh and i think you forgot pa. and nj.

:tongue: :hat: :cool::dude: :jest:

alright cool sounds good to me. so it's byom any roar legal stock? right. looking into going brushless as long as theres enough guys it should be a blast. and if my funds allow me to drop $400 to get the speedo motor and upgrades but if not i'll be in for stock and 19t. let me know who'sin for 4300 so if theres enough intrest i'll start saving now. cya all soon, Brad

oh man just realized theres a qualifier on saturday. was it like this last year? can't make that saturday so i may have to sit this one out $h*t.

This is the first time doing it this way so racers can get home early on sunday. yes bring your own motor

Heath glad you chose a Saturday and Sunday Race.... I just hope the wife has our baby on the 5th when schedualed. That would be the only reason I would not make it! Look forward to this event. Keep up the great work, it's always nice to call Maximus my home away from home!

I thinks that backwards.Maximus is your home and your house is your home away from home.:p

Sweet!

OPEN 19 turn, sounds good to me!

OPEN 19 turn, sounds good to me!

Now there is no excuses for people not running 19T at the iron maximus!!! IT'S OPEN 19T TURN WHICH MEANS YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY AN ULTRABIRD! The BS Stops! yessssssss sir! anyway, Mike I will see you there, BUT if I dont race, i will bring up my son we're expecting on the 5th of April.

PM me later.

hanson never to young to put a radio in his hands just need to find a smaller one...lol. not sure if i'm gonna be able to make this race with the saturday thing now. and theres not enough time to practice sunday morning before the heats so i may just sit this one out. :confused:

I like the format....Sounds like Heath is doing whatever he can to get the guys from far away home at a decent time.....It's easy when you live an hour away....It really becomes tough when the races get over at 7:00 pm and you have a 6 hour drive ahead of you......Hopefully you can make it Brad it will be a great race......Also I like the idea of 2 heats on sunday...Heath always manages to sort the heats pretty good so it shouldn't be a problem having a clean run.... Justin

justin i think it's a great idea also. just that date is gonna make it tough more me but believe me i'll try my best to get there.

There's plenty of pratice! You just need to get there late Saturday or early Sunday.

Saturday - Open Practice 8:00 p.m. - Sunday 9:30 a.m.

yea thats alot of practice, heath was nice to let us practice all night at the sos race, nothing like 24hr access....

Heath glad you chose a Saturday and Sunday Race.... I just hope the wife has our baby on the 5th when schedualed. That would be the only reason I would not make it! Look forward to this event. Keep up the great work, it's always nice to call Maximus my home away from home!

My son was dued to be born on the 25th of December and he was born on the 10th two weeks early...The due date sometime dosen't happen...

i know mike but the problem is i would probably not be able to get there until 8 A.M. sunday morning so it would be tough. who knows maybe i'll come sunday morning and use the first heat as a practice and hope i can get in a good run for the 3rd. we'll see i'll try my hardest i hate missing these races as they are the best ones around and always draw a good crowd. hope 2 c u there. Brad :thumbsup:

Brad,

I have thought long and hard about the time changes and I applaud you for still considering running Sunday with only the two qualifiers.

As always I enjoy having you and all the racers from Radical Ricks, hope you can still make this race.

I am aware that changing the race to a two day event there will be many happy and unhappy racers. If it works out better then we will stick with it, if not then we will change back.

Time will only tell and I really and hoping for nother great race.

Don't forget the track is always open for practice/racing on Sundays up until the race.

Heath

heath i think you made the right decision even though it hurts me i believe it will work out for the better for most people. i'm sure the canadiens and new yorkers and further south guys will really appreciate it. i would never wanna miss any of your events so beleive me i'm gonna try my hardest to get there. well hope to c u all soon. Brad

I'll be another guy that only makes Sunday. I'll try to get there early and hope it's pretty empty to get some track time.

and if my funds allow me to drop $400 to get the speedo motor and upgrades

GTB: 174.99 (LRP sphere is 179.99)
4300 motor: 57.99
sintered rotor/endbell upgrade: 45.99
total: 278.97

novak will have the complete package for 264.99 soon

tommygun. cool alittle cheaper then i thought which is alway good!!!!! but i'm leading more towards the lrp sphere competition which is 225 i believe. so who's in for 4300? 2 days or 1 day i'll be there anyway and do my best.i don't wanna miss this one. brad

yes the sphere competition is a little more 189.99.
u don't need no stinkin practice.
I'm in for 4300 and stock.
I think jason nick might try the 4300 class? bean, behler, belfiore and bissonette? woah thats funny

Mike I get there around 530am so get there early.

He never closed last time .

You never know with him LOL:)

I believe the troopers that stayed there the whole night lasttime know who they are..... Diaz boys, Tim Barns, Scott Law and myself.... We had a ton of fun, so why get a hotel when you can crash on the couch! I will be there maybe by then you guys will see the new born on the way on the 5th. See you guys there! Who is in for the payout race this weekend?

Tommy...drop that other system off this weekend. I'm afraid of OPEN 19T and would enjoy not having to take the motor out of a second car.

I might run 4300 since it's not ultrabirds or at least the same type motors....:confused: Maybe

well let's get a head count for 4300 i don't wanna waste money for something thats rarely gonna be used. but as long as theres enough for one heat i'm in. :thumbsup:

If I have time I will try and support the 4300 deal at Maximus...... :thumbsup:

I 'm thinking about this brushless deal myself. A lot of questions I need answered first. Are these things all equal or is it luck of the draw like brushed motors? Would be nice to take the motor out of the equation. How long before someone figures out how to tweak these things, hot chips etc.?

Bob, if you talk to the fast guys in the midwest they'll tell you they vary quite a bit. Some guys have short track systems and different big track systems, even though they are supposed to be identical :confused:. Manufacturing tolerences effect everything.

Hot chips??? You bet some guy's know more than others.

ill be in for 4300 if i an get a system before the race. but for now its stock for me.

Rusty NutZ

You will find alot of your questions have been answered in the brushless forum. As far as how much motors vary, in that forum, they say they don't vary hardly at all, just don't get them super hot (run the sintered rotor and it will be fine). I have talked to some guys that run brushless they say once you find the gear, it's all about setup and driving, the motors are all the same. Just saying what I've heard. We will find out!
As far as hot chips, from what I understand it's just like a brushed esc...the motor controls maximum speed of the car, not the esc. There isn't a chip in the esc that restricts it from max power I don't think?

Regardless of the drama...I'm sure that wiseman's saying about the cannon and the canoe applies to Brushless as well.

Racin Jason you are the MAN! huh....... Interesting. Yo Oz Stay of the Ice! haha

I did a brushless shoot out for RCCA (Nov 2005 issue) we tested both the LRP with a N.E.O one and the Novak SS 5800 system. This was 6 cell off road, but the difference was the LRP was way more liner to the novak, the novak came on way stronger with the throttle. The LRP had more top end 40mph LRP VS 34mph for the Novak, radar gun for the speed. same buggys, same gear. NOt sure about the newer systems.

Nick that sounds about right, the NEO one is considered a 8.5 turn where the 5800 is a 10.5, also the lrp speedo is closer to Novaks gtb then the SS. It would be cool to do a test in oval between some systems.

I will talk to the powers that be, and see if they will cut loose with a few systems, to see if we could do an Oval/ newer system test...

Puf, your est bet would be to just dyno the motors with each speedo. That way there is less of an effect due to car/driver reliability.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! Who is going ot the payout race at Maximus this Sunday?

Justin- Gonna need a ride from the airport if I am gonna make this one.....you in?

Sounds like fun.....gonna try to make it.

Real Deel

If Justin can't I will, Would be cool for another JBR driver there. But I just talked to Justin and he said he would do it, so book your flight now, I know alot of good bars in portsmouth! haha See you in April.

Brian,

Beware...Steve's favorite town is Man-chest-hair!
