I know it's a little early. But I'm getting antsy. My trigger finger is gettin' itchy. I haven't smelled Paragon in weeks! Weeks!!!

I have to get my cars mailed out to Racknor for restoration. Except for the "Red Car". That one is hermetically sealed and stored in my underwear drawer for safe keeping. Or did I trade it to Ray C for a priceless foam airplane? Whatever....

Scott - you might want to wait on mailing out those cars, Keith is busy doing dirt-oval rebuilds and you could possibly find your car setup for the wrong kind of track! It'll be best to send it to Ray C, because then it'll fly around the track...

Jon or Tim, Date for first race so I can get Sat off.

I'm in for 21.5 Lipo, SS Truck, TC, and Mod 18th. :)

TC? Is that touring car, any body,motor,and battery?

Keith, you and Deano would (will) luv it--sorta like 6-cell mod. dirtoval on carpet. Slap a a great lookin, vintage HPI TransAm body on a TC and YOU TOO will be set to go !!!

like you need another class????????????

That darn Kevin.
We've been running 10.5BL/19T brushed. I didn't think you pan car guys could handle any more than that. Remember, it's 6 Nimh cells or lipo 7.4 volts. The car actually speeds up when you pull the trigger. :devil:

OKay Brian.... I'll bite....
If the [TC] car speeds up when you pull the trigger, apparently you must have to slow down to go around the corner. Therefore, I shall concur that the pancar guys may not be able to handle the frustration of slowing down just to speed up again. If you lift, you lose. It is much more effective to go as fast as possible all the time. Slowing down is sacrilegious and against the grain of true racers.:tongue:

I didn't say that Kevin did.I just wanted to know what bodies we can run. Kevin M is the one that can't handle the all out speed of a pan car!:lol:I am with you Scott :woohoo:

Go with an HPI vintage TransAm body--Camaro, Mustang, or Cuda. They should fit your dirt oval cars (TC3 etc) as well as most touring cars.

boy you dug yourself a deep hole there brian. they do have some good looking vintage bodies but i like the do bodies your running now.

Brian, Did you forget who is the tech inspector at Mt Pl? Good Luck!

Give me a call when you get a chance. Don D

I supose so, nothin wrong with a little fun, I'm going to run the body I have.:wave:

WOW the wet sloopy Kiss Brian just gave .... and yea Like we all know your legal :)

yeah yeah yeah ok Pat, I'm ok with tech at the cellar aren't I? :wave:

... besides my cars are all legal!!
Maybe they were legal before that last post, but now..... I'm sure I'll find something. :eek:

Anyway, for Touring Car we'll allow pretty much any body with fenders. Wilkie started the vintage theme with his Camaro, I've run a Mustang (and now have a 'Cuda) and a late model. Or your basic touring car works too. As long as the tires don't stick out. '55 Chevy, anyone?

P.S. - Pan cars haven't had "all out speed" for at least 3 years. The fastest cars on the straightaways have either been the 1/18th scales or Ray's buggy.

I'm good no cheating going on here. how about a 57 chevy nomad?

I can make anything fast on a straightaway.:)

Now, if you wanna go fast around a corner.... you need to talk to RoadSplat.http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii100/OvalTrucker/MOONER.gif

Hi guys, The Mt. Pleasant Model Aircraft Club's airshow is this Sunday Sept 14 10:00 to 5:00. Its 1/2 mile north of the Mt. P Airport on River RD.
Come on out and join us. JB

can we run our dirt oval bodies the way they are in tc class? do we have to put lipos without a hard case in a box, plastic,carbonfiber,fiberglass?

Bodies - Wipe the dirt off first. :rolleyes:

LiPos - The rule we stated last year (and will still use) is either a hard cased LiPo or the chassis must protect the battery if it's soft-cased. For my TC4's, I added a fiberglass wall on the left side of the chassis and a simple piece of Lexan on the bottom of the battery to protect it from the open battery slots. I also suggest replacing the front battery strap post with a smooth wall since the narrow post can make a dent in the battery in a front-end crash.

Protection of the battery in buggies and trucks is not really an issue, since the pack is already surrounded by plastic on all sides and they don't have slots in the bottom. (Unless you've built a special oval chassis. If the pack's hanging out the left side of the car, you MUST build protection into the car for soft-cased LiPos.)

I would like to take just a few moments to tell Mr. dialed and Jon S. thanks alot for letting Mark be the fastest last week at Bay City. I spent the entire night last night repairing the doorway from when Mark left there last Saturday! Both sides was pushed out at least 5 inches!

Cannot wait to see some of you also. Jim H. and Jon and ???? oh almost forgot about the man that is on the top of my most favorate driver list Scott.

Only 6 more days till we meet up again. Can't wait. Car is ready to go and if the new one fails, i always have the back up which has the secret Racknor setup.
