Greetings from Virginia everybody . :wave:

Hey Dan, just sent you an email.

Greetings from Virginia everybody . :wave:

You get a chance to whoop up on some Virginia L8 Models?

I'll get it to you today. Didn't know you asked for it already.

I sent you an AIM IM the other night. Guess you didnt see it before you signed off?

So who's psyched up about the 2010 season? I was ok until I went to the track and practiced on Sunday. Man I cant wait to race.

I am completely welcoming the break between Indoor & Outdoor. My nerves, judgment and mindset are all shot and need a reset.

I'll be more psyched when I figure out exactly what I'm running! I'm on for 1/10th 4wd and Slash Spec either oval or off-road for sure, but the third class is still a mystery. The 1/8th scale is up for sale, but I'm not giving it away esp. if I have to ship, so if no good offers come soon, I may just re-commission it with new tires and pick up some of the cheap 4S hardcase packs from HK......April's approaching rapidly!

Hey how's the weather been down there? Getting that deck done?

Weather is great . Been a clusterf:confused:ck down here I'll tell you about it when I get home .

You get a chance to whoop up on some Virginia L8 Models? Working too much to even think about it . Plus I still have to breakin this years powerplant . J.T. had his Slash out today at lunch . :cool:

Hope it gets easier.

The outdoor sprinter lives! Just have to assemble the wing tonight and then its onto the L8.:woohoo:

Mark you have a PM.

I've been having some trouble setting up a dirt delivery. Seems Hanson Aggregates of Easton Pa. doesn't like to answer their phone. I've been using them for a few years now, not sure what the problem is. The clay mix we use is Best Top#23, pitchers mound clay. If anyone can find it or more info where to get it let me know. Charlie

Some searching yields these numbers you may also try.

(610) 253-4271 (570) 992-4951 (215) 598-3152 (610) 377-3585

All are numbers for different offices and branches which will most likely get you to where you need to be.

Charlie, try Partac Peat in Great Meadows. I have no idea what their pricing is offhand, but they supply the infield mix and mound mix for a LOT of athletic programs.

After looking at their site, even if they don't have the exact stuff, they will know what to get you that's correct. Man they have a ton of clays.

Maybe we could get some with less sand in it?

less sand would be good!

Hey Nic,

Anyway to update the mainpage top right to change the season from Outdoor 2003 to 2010. :)

Nice! I came in third for season points in 1/10 road course. I guess that means consistently bad is good enough for points, as long as you enter...:jest:

Who's having more fun than you:wave:

Charlie - Any head way with the sand?

Just some Novak news incase you guys didn't hear.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOr2duz8cQg

The official Novak Slash 4x4 ESC/Motor package will be out in a couple of months. It will include a baseplate for the ESC to mount directly onto the Traxxas Slash 4x4 chassis as well. Since this is a 5mm rotor you will need a new pinion that Novak can supply as well. The ESC is a Havoc Pro that will already have the TRX connector inplace. You can choose from the 4.5/5.5/6.5 HV Brushless motor. I'll have my Slash outfitted with this package shortly for testing. So anybody that is interested can take it for a spin next time up at the track.

Not really understanding the points system in this class myself. Hoping someone can explain how if you don't actually race, you still get points???? :freak:

I think if you sign up, since you go into the computer you get last place points.

Bingo. If your prereg and you are in the system you still get the last place points.

Not happy about that. Not one bit.

Note to self: Sign up for all classes in advance of all 2010 racedays, I'll likely win something if it dont run much.
That strategy might not work. You don't get the points if the class doesn't run on a particular day, even if you are signed up. No one gets points for a race for a class that doesn't run on a given race day.

Alvin,

No I can't ...

It is a change to the graphic in the flash files - i am no flash expert by any stretch of the imagination and can't do it myself.

Nick, PM.

Got it. Can you send me the files and I can see if I can change them?

I will try to dig them up, sure (there is a master flash file that needs to be worked from).

Send them my way also, if Alvin can't get it I can see what I can do.

Only the FLA files are editable not the SWF's

If a supplier hasn't been found yet, Diamond Tex might be worth a try also: http://www.diamondtex.com/default.aspx?Portalid=9004&tabid=93
or Cedar Hill landscape: http://www.cedarhilllandscaping.com/products.asp?cat=4&hierarchy=0&prod=20

I was going to suggest Bestop because my company spec'd their mix for baseball fields for years with good results but apparently they went under:confused: and I didn't hear about it...

Okey-doky. I am officially out of E-8th scale; I shipped my RC8 to its new home this morning. Now, what to do......I think I can handle running three classes since Slash Spec is pretty much charge-n-go, and the 1/10th 4wd is a good bit simpler to deal with than 1/8th scale.

But what to run? Pondering an oval car(sprint-Slider, maybe?) or a 2wd buggy, but it looks like 4wd S.C. is the hot ticket this year. How many guys do we have committed to that class now? Anybody have opinions on Slash vs Ofna vs Jammin? Idle thoughts on my lunch break...

There is a truck load (pun intended) of Slash 4x4's going to be running. Derek has an SCRT10. Sure there are plenty of other mod trucks joining the SC party.
Sprint will be pretty big this year too. And sounds like plenty of people running 2WD 1/10 buggy as well as 4WD. So pick your poison. Good thing is their all 2s so that meets one of you basic requirements, of simple battery management.

Came across this tractor in Craiglist. Not sure if we found a solution for the tractor situation yet:

I think the last count was 15 4wd SC trucks.

Definitely enough to run every week then. Hmm, I'll have to think on this.

The dirt delivery situation has been resolved. We will be receiving 25 tons of new clay on Thursday April 8. Thankyou to everyone who offered help, that's why this club is so great. I will be removing the pipe from the offroad track on our dirt delivery day, since my time available on saturday the 10th is basically nil. Charlie

Adam, you have a PM

Excellent. What does 25 tons come out to in yards? 10? Looking forward to racing. Was at the track this past Sunday practicing. Got the bug in me going.

Finally completed One "Bank of Dad Racing" outdoor Sprint car. :cool:
Just have to add shock oil and work out the gearing.

Now its on to the rest of the BoD stable.

Special thanks to Adam :thumbsup:
