Schane - Tell Roman he can just have it, I just get to keep the shirt. I'll drop it off on my way home from work tomorrow night if you'll be at BFG.

Trust me I'm way P'od about it. The only big R/C thing I planned for this summer down the crapper. Makes me feel like I wasted all that time and $ on the Losi to get it ready. But at least she'll be good to go for whenever I'll get a chance to make it out again.

Erv - I do have a spare set of Cvd's (The replacement beefed up Losi one's) & 55t motors if you want to take them with you for some insurance.

I will be at BFG tomorrow around 5pm.

You didn't waste any money. There is going to be another comp in Cedar before it snows, and after we redo the indoor course we are going to invite twisted and the Cedar boys over for a trophy comp.

Thats some realy bad news Andman.
I was hoping we could share some set up and best line tips
and I have 0 spare parts.
Sorry about the bad news, wish you could have made it.
I'll remind Schane about picking up your shirt while I'm there.:wave:

I will have losi parts here and Andy I will make sure you get your shirt and door prize that you would have gotten

So is the comp on saturday or sunday??? The BFG web site says saturday!!!

Our comp at BFG this week is on Saturday, September 26 at 3:00. We will talk then as to when we will be going back to Sunday afternoons as we move into the indoor season.

The state comp at Twisted is on Sunday.

Here are the results from yesterdays MI state comp at twisteds.

Congrats on the 3rd place Schane and the rest of the west side crew. It doesn't look like Roman did too bad after all for his first official comp.

Thanks Andy

I have your t-shirt and you got a hat for a door prize. I will bring them with me on Thursday.

This Thursday we are going to have a club meeting. We will be discussing membership renewal. If everyone renews their membership early we can get more rock before it gets cold out side. I for one would like to get the rock before the -10 deg weather hits.

If everyone is on board with this we will be collecting membership fees this Thursday. Then the following week have 2 tons of very large rock delivered. With 1 ton left for us to go and hand pick.

After that if we need more rock we can always go and dig some out at the free place around the corner.

What time on Thursday is the meeting?

I was thinking 6 or 7pm, so people that are working long days will be able to make it out.

Shane I'm not going to make it tomorrow. I'm shooting for Thurs. practice instead . I;m also in for the membership. Andy thanks! I had a good time and finished better then i was planning on.

I would like to become a long distance Member how much are dues?

I believe they were $25 for the year.

Not a Problem Roman, I'm glad I was able to find someone to fill the spot.

Shane I'm not going to make it tomorrow. I'm shooting for Thurs. practice instead .

Sounds good Roman. I will see you tomorrow.

Talked to John tonight about the rock, after everyone left. He says he will get 3 tons of large rock delivered next week.

For the remaining ton, I think the place is open Saturday morning. If they are we should go over Sat, and pic out the last ton, so we have all the rock ready to go. It should only take about 30min, to load a ton and drop it off at BFG.

Is anyone going to be around Sat morning, that has a truck? And will anyone be around, that wants to help move some rock Sat morning? Other wise, we will have to wait until the following, Sat to get the remaining ton.

I was already planning on being out to run oval on Sat. So I can just make a day of it and get there earlier. I can be there when the doors open at 9 with the beast.

It may be a good idea to bring a shovel (I don't have one). Could be the easiest way to move the rock in the 1.9 area.

Sounds good Andy. Do you want to pick the rock up tomorrow or, next Sat?

The forecast is the same for the next 2 Saturdays (cold and raining), so If I bring the beast we can go ahead and get the remaining rock tomorrow and be done with it.

Sounds good Andy, I will pack the rain gear. You want to meet at BFG at 9am tomorrow?

I'll be there. Looks like I'll be busy tonight getting everything ready and packed up. I'll bring the crawler as well to help move rocks (Right Weazel:thumbsup:)

Any word on the rocks John?

I wont be able to make it on thur. My boy has flag football pics and his
first game. Hopefully I can get out on sun.
My LCC is tore down waiting on new spool & worm gears.:(

With the rumblings of the limited class being talked about here's a question I'll throw out for everyone. Do we want to do a limited tire rule as well, say max 5" diameter? The 1:1 stock or limited classes use similar rules for a max tire size. Just thinking out loud since I have two sets of Losi Rock Claws sitting around collecting dust.

Andy we have all ready set a tire size rule for limited stock, 5in.or under
so bust out a set of the claws.:cool:

Haha, Ok thanks Erv. does someone have the rules written down somewhere so I can get a copy?

The only rules for that class are 5in tires max and no dig.

Anyone going to be out for practice tonight?

I will be out tonight for practice. I will only be bringing my 2.2. See ya around 5:30 - 6.

2.2 Limited Class:

5" maximum tire
2S Lipo or 6 cell NiMh battery
Single motor
Stock or Scale chassis
No dig units

I think that is everything.

I will be out after I pick my son up.

2s Lipo, well that sucks. Don't have any of those. Guess I don't have to worry about that at least.

I don't have any two cell lipos either. I am not positive but I don't think that was a rule. We talked about it, but in the end you would be turning people away for using something that doesn't give you a clear advantage. A 35 turn motor on a two cell will still have more punch than a 55 turn on a three cell. And chances are any new people that show up may have a three cell lipo.

Another reason I don't think it was a rule, is if you make the limited guys run 2 cell, it would make it harder for them to transition into unlimited. Because the unlimited guys run three cells because three cell + 35 turn motor + dig = 0 deg turning radius. Now if you take dig out of the equation the turning radius turns into a foot ball field. So your left with no real advantage by running a three cell in the limited class. But the little bit of extra wheel speed you get from a three cell helps in the unlimited class by spinning the crawler faster when using dig.

The only advantage of running a three cell in the limited class is that when you want to step up and run in the unlimited class you wont have to buy a different battery.

We will have to ask the master scaler himself Jim B. since this is his class.

I was already sitting on the fence on this since my new 2.2 setup is using both of my Fxr's. So I would be pretty much left to buy another servo, esc, and more batteries. So the limited, or any new class isn't $$ feasible anymore.

If three cells are not allowed in our limited class I will not run in that class. I can't afford to buy another battery just to run another class.

If three cells are not allowed in our limited class I will not run in that class. I can't afford to buy another battery just to run another class.

You guys are welcome to change it, but that is what was discussed and agreed upon back a couple months ago at the meeting we had.

I just posted what the majority of the club members decided.

Doesn't matter to me one way or another.

Large rock was delivered. It was 2.4 tons. There are about a dozen the size of the big one that Shane and Andy dragged back last Saturday and maybe a half dozen basketball size.

I think we should allow any battery. I looked around and it's not very easy to find a decent 2s lipo that isn't the size of a 6cell nimh battery. The two I found (CKRC) were nearly double the price of the 1700 3s lipo I bought for $21. I still need the servo and esc though. Might have to unload the 1.9 to get some extra cash.

I found a set of 5in tires to run in the limited class. Now the only problem is the battery.

We will have to have a meeting of the minds to discuss the battery issue tomorrow when we get the new rock.

The head dude will be at the rock place from 8am to 11am tomorrow. That gives us 3 hours to get 4 ton of rock. I will be at bfg at 8am tomorrow. Hopefully everyone will be able to make it out, so we can get all the rock we need, to finish the course.

I'm in. See you all in the morning.

Sounds good. I will get to the store at 8 as well. See everybody in the morning.
