Just a question,Are we running lipo AND 6 cell nimh batteries?? Rules state lipo only.:confused:

LOL... Lipo Sack? Really?

Hope someone has one I can borrow... I have no use for them personally.

Perhaps they'll let you can bring a metal lock box for the day as a substitute? :D I personally don't use a sack myself (although I have one I cart the packs in). I figure if the thing is going to swell I wanna know about it before I open up the bag and flame shoots out at me! :lol:

I would rather see the guys running the round cells have to use them... those things get ugly when they go off.

Maybe it is just LIPO Sorry I will fix, just trying to maintain your state of confusion Kev!!!

Ehh well, If I don't have one it will save me 6 hour trip I wasn't really interested in taking anyway... lol

I agree with you totally about 4/6 cell NiMH and NICD batteries, but wasn't my decision....

I don't need any help there LOL, Have you got your new ride yet?

No not yet, I will have it before the first tour race though. Have a bunch of stuff down at Glen's for sale...

Who's ready for the first tour race?

Man I'm ready to get back on the track. I keep looking at my cars every day trying to figure out something else I can do to them. You can only check the screws for tightness so many times! :lol:

Kevin A.........your avatar. Those the "spec" pancars Tim is going to be coming out with? I'll have to check his site to see if they're on there yet. I might have to make another purchase. :D

You guys looking for cars... I have 2 R5's ready to go... 1 has less than 100 laps of practice on it (never raced) and the other just came out of the box and was finished up last night.. I also have a pro3 roller as well, all come with 9650 servos.

Who built these chassis for you?

LOL, well considering I build chassis for other people, I would hope I did it :p

You build chassis for other ppl? Isn't part of the hobby building the car? Why would people have you build there cars lol

Yea, seems like a fledging business lately... People either don't like building them, or want someone to build and setup a car for them because they think someone else can do it better. Most of the time newer racers don't have the patience to build a car properly... Whatever the reason is, it has actually kept me really busy since I started offering to do it last year. I have 4 sitting on the bench right now I have to finish up this week and send out...

Yeah, We haven't (tested) yet with these cars,they are put together a little (different) It should be fun though, Been a long time since my pancar days, I caught myself tryin' to groove the spec tires LMAO!:jest::D

I was one of those 2 others, but I guess I am not worth mentioning...lol.

just a question for some of you out there on brushless motors/esc's. what are the biggest reason(S). for motor and or esc failures? i have heard quite a few failures and was just wondering if there was common cause.

Heat is the bigest killer.
