Yea.... I'm gonna try to go as well. Haven't been down there in a long while. I just miss the Denny's, though. Don't know how I feel about their track. I saw that Ronzee posted on another board. He said they may backfill that whole tabletop thing so their is no steps, instead of trying to put the perfect lip on it. I like that idea. He also talked about filling the dropoff from turn 2 into the tabletop. I hope so!! That is the lamest section of any offroad track EVER!!

Has anyone thought about us all going down there like men, with our massive mod horsepower!! Just a thought. Or we could run around like mad and do stock and mod.

Slaprock:

Just so you know.... Virtually everyone runs purple fronts and gray rears in 1/12 on ozite carpet. So I wouldn't stray to far from those compounds. I'm leaning towards either the Calandra carpet knife or Speedmerchant Rev 3. Do you think you Rusty or Jerry could look into becoming dealers?

Gentlemen I will not be going to rosewood this weekend. Won't be back from Chicago in time. handle business and return to the homefront. Jady, Ryan and Chad I need a good showing for Team RS.

Dirty

d*mnit d--cancell the other plans.

chad, i vote only mod. i wonder if i can fix my 3000's?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Just want to let everyone know we will not be racing this weekend! Have a great weekend~Lisa :)

Hey Chad;

We can get the CRC Carpet Knife V3.1 already, but we have to get a dealership thru Speedmerchant.I may get a CRC myself.

Keith

Would it be allot of hassle to become a speedmerchant dealer, or would you have to buy a minimum? If so maybe a few of us can get together to order some. It would be cool if most of us were running the same car. Easier to figure out setups, help each other with spare parts, etc... I'm pretty sure Jady, Ryan, and I are getting one. Don't know about Dirty D... That's at least four, if you're in.

I honestly would prefer the Speedmerchant. The speedmerchant and crc are very simular. Neither one uses saddle packs. :) I hate saddle packs. The speedmerchant uses a cool O-ring deal to hold the pack in. NO TAPING!! The speedmerchant also supposedly has the smoothest damper tubes which are easier to get just right. They both have horrible directions I hear. No pictures or sketches, just an instruction sheet.

Hey Chad;

It shouldn't be that hard just send them the information they need. I already order two of the CRC Carpet Knife, one for me the other for store stock. I looked at both cars ( CRC and speedmerchant) they look alike same features. Crc also uses a o-ring to hole the batteries. CRC have setup sheets on they website And tech support. The new Futaba radio came in, it is BAD that my be another item on my chistmas list. All of you take it easy on the road this weekend and kick some BUTT!

hey guys are you talking about running 1/12th oval or road course? 4 r 6 cell?....im in for some 1/12th on the touring track.....ill but my 1/12th scale tomorrow....Matt

also wouldlike to know 4CELL OR 6CELL I DON'T WANT TO RACE 4 CELL THATS A HOLE NOTHER MOTOR TUNING ISSUE

They are talking about running 1/12, 4 cell, road course. Babba you should remember the old 1/12 days back in the early 80'. These guys wasn't even born yet. Back then it was 6 cells, 8 min. and the motor were a lot slower.

well count me in....ill order ym car this week.....see everyone soon...i think i might also run stk touring......Matt

Bubba:

What's the big deal about tuning for 4 cell? Lighter brush springs? The benefits to running 4 cells are less tire wear. Far less motor wear. And of course.... Less broken parts. I wouldn't be able to control those things on a 60x25 foot track on 6 cells anyway. If it wasn't clear.... we're talking stock motors, too.

Just buy one.... It'll be fun. I promise. :)

Goldsboro was a hoot Saturday night. Some of the turn marshalling I saw was pretty ugly, to say the least. It did have an affect on qualifying. But it was decent in the main, I think. Josh was TQ. There were 10 of us in mod truck. We ended up running all together in the main. :eek: Everyone was very respectful in the main, despite the overcrowding. Good tight race. Josh ended up losing to Jerry West. Jady finished sixth, despite leading for a while. I was just over a lap off the pace, but finished seventh. Tight field. Ryan was eighth. Shane ninth. And Joe broke, putting him in tenth.

Denny's ROCKED!! As always. We feasted. The waitress loved us apparently... She was calling us all BooBoo... Ryan was Honeybun, however. Let it be known.... Ryan LOVES THE PIE, But He'll share his pie with anyone!!

boo boo

HAHA

Oreo pie, the best invention ever made. That's about all I got to say about that.

Good times, man. Good times.

Bubba,

Yeah... I'm with you on the breaking down packs thing. That is kind of a pain. I was just going to re-match mine with my Turbo 30..... One cell at a time. YAY!!

A show of hands for 1/12 scale:thumbsup:

1/12th scale....right here....i need to race something........gotta be able to use my new radio......

woo hoo--hopefully

I'm IN

Dirty

Glad to hear you're back safely, D. 1/12 should be fun!!

I guess by now you read how we did in Carolina.... Not that great. Oh well. That guy Jerry West is no joke... Very quick. Some guy named Anthony down there was real fast, too. We'll get them next time. I gotta say I really prefer running mod on that track. I thought it was easier. You could still clear all the doubles and tripples even if you had a crappy line.

One of the Boo Boo's.....

Out

When is the new location going to open, and when are we looking to get the 12th scale started.

ill be there as soon as they open ....at least for practice...Matt

Keith... Their plan is to have the first race on the 14th I believe. There's talk of running 1/12 and touring on Thursday nights as well. I really like that idea.

They just recieved their ozite, so the ball is really rolling now.

They have a thread in the On road section, now...

Tidewater RC


Check you later

Uh.. Now he's talking first of January.

What do I know?

hey i tried to call tidewater r/c phone disconected anybody got their new phone # and directions to the new track:thumbsup:

Bubba, go to www.tidewaterrc.com

R we racing tommorrow? ANYONE,ANYONE,ANYONE

Good question D... I'd like to know as well. I'm kind of thinking the track won't be in good enough shape. There's probably still slush on it now.

Me and JD don't plan on running Saturday guys. He has some things he needs to do and I am just going to take a break. Chad( A.K.A Boo ) I will give you a call tonight about that B-day thing, me and JD are gonna slide out for sure. Get that 12th scale ready D, I think I am getting mine tonight. Sounds like we are getting good support on the 12th scale situation. Sounds like we should have plenty of people, Me , JD, Kieth, Matt, Chad, Dirtty D , and that guy John Murphy.

No racing this Saturday the 7th of December.

you can add Brian Higgins to that list of 1/12th as he ordered one today....Matt

hey rusty, wich 12th scale are you getting in the store?

Keith,

Thanks. If you're still looking for a used cyclone. Rich Chang is selling some in swap section for 65 shipped.

Jady,

Rusty is getting a carpet knife. Keith is allready sporting a new bloody knife. Red makes it faaaast. :D

rusty will have more crc's in next week--killer price too.

this will be cool

Attendtion all 12th scales;

Let rusty know what car you are going to run so he can order it, all so is everyone going to stay with the 64 pitch if so I can get him to order some pinions & spurs from RRP (BLK ALU Pinion).

Chad;

I am going to get some Losi (I hated to say that) Hydra-Drive Fluid in for the dampers. Which Wt. STD, HVY or LHT?

Jady;

Whats up, you going to get a Carpet Knife.

yep--carpet knife am i

Carpet knife for me as well. Just the standard one. No blood for me. I think I'm going to polish it all out anyway.

Some associated front end parts would be good to stock. I saw that CRC DOES make a bumper.... We'll be needing those. :cool:

Keith: Get some standard and light fluid. I think standard is the normal setup.

Rusty or Keith: Order me a standard carpet knife and an Airtronics 94145 servo, if you could. Also... Could someone order me a b3 front bulkhead? It's associated part # 9125. I don't think you have it in stock.

I plan on running 64 pitch. I'm looking into what kind of ratios are in the ballpark for stock 4 cell. I'm guessing high 20's to mid 30's on pinions. Not sure though. Spurs... 96-104..?

Little 12th scale help here, do you have to use a micro servo in the carpet knife? Also does anyone know if Rusty has four cell packs to assemble?

Thanks,
Dirty D

im wundering the same ting about the servo d,

as far as batteries, buy 2 sets of 6 cells...woohoo

what up guys........any new info on opening day in Hampton..what about open practice days?.....hows the carpet comming?........Matt

http://www.tidewaterrc.com/photo.htm

That's where they stand now. No date yet.

What car are you gonna run Matt?

As far as servo's go, I got most of the bloody Knife together and I use a Futaba 9101. Its between a mini and a standard servo (0.62x1.52x1.36). I don't think I could have went much bigger than that.

Ratio; I read they are running 27x98 stock on uncut tire. Check CRC website. The forum has some good information.

Do anyone know what Ryan is going to run. Tomorrow I will stop by the shop and order a couple more kits and some front bumpers. Also the hydra fluid.

im gounna run a Trinity Switch Blade 12 2002 edition.....

Chad;

What was the name of the Paragon tire traction compound? I am going to order some servo saver the kit don't come with it.

It's Paragon Ground effects, Keith.
