View Full Version : Testing at MPR Lon meagher 03-17-2009, 11:19 PM Big thanks Dave for letting me and Leo use the track today. It was very educational. My driving and car set up could still use some work, but I am well on my way to mastering the art of removing wall marks from the right side of my car. We also found out that the cars dont handle well on grass. Thanks again , we had a blast...... Leo Sullivan 03-18-2009, 12:38 AM I would like to say thank you too Dave. It was very educational. I can't wait to run in the sportsman series this year at MPR and learn from all you good racers. But now I need to go and do some repairs to the car, thank again!!! Leo dangerousdave 03-18-2009, 04:24 PM Just a few repairs, that sounds like a good test for some new guys. I remember when I started it was a few major repairs. I was told no one has ever broke one of those. I would always say " Ya but you have never seen me drive before"... Dave D DMP_SMOKE 03-18-2009, 07:35 PM thats no s**t dave d. you did tear up some stuff you can't drive it like a 1/10 scale, i dont know how many times i have to say that:wave: Bob krueger 03-18-2009, 08:26 PM Shoot and I was just told to get my sprinter handling like a pan car :confused: Bob krueger 03-18-2009, 08:34 PM shoot and I was just told to get my sprinter working like a pan car C43GO 03-18-2009, 09:53 PM hey smoke your fav cop here trying to get some guys to come down and run 1/10th with caps to see if we can make them work.

Dave D We ended up the afternoon with some carnage but all went pretty good. I think the hardest thing for me is allowing the car to come off the corner and ride up to the wall..... I always feel like I'm driving into the wall.. So I stay too far down on the track to set up for the next corner... Leo Sullivan 03-20-2009, 11:30 AM If you drove the car like a man and not a girl, you wouldn't have that problem. Let it hang out and fly what could possibly go wrong, the pit entrance tire maybe!!!! Lon meagher 03-20-2009, 11:50 PM Dude, you sure did let it fly... into........... pit fence, infield grass, turn 1-2-3-4 wall... Lets not even talk about that sweet move on the backstretch.......Nice!!!!!!.... I didnt think it was possible to make faster lap times on your roof then your tires......I'm gonna go out on I limb here and say you have a slight loose condition with your set-up... Perhaps if you mounted the body upside down you'd have better luck with it............. jbrooks39 03-21-2009, 12:13 AM Dude, you sure did let it fly... into........... pit fence, infield grass, turn 1-2-3-4 wall...

AMBrc DP ....is this the right one? I mounted it just behind the steering servos....and plugged it into AUX on my reciever. Is it OK if it is mounted flat or does it need to be facing a certain direction? Leo Sullivan 03-21-2009, 06:33 PM Oh, don't get me started!

You did not go there.......You had to go and bring up Days Of Thunder........ It took me two years to realize there was no such thing as a special matched set of tires.......I wonder if the loose lug nuts on the RF tire at State Park Speedway was some kind of special set up.I must say it did free the car up a bit at 100 mph.......
