Looks like this guy wants a truggy. And I just met a guy with a truggy who wants to race this Sunday. Considering one myself. Sounds alive and kicking to me..

Toby, which truggy are you looking at?

Thanks for hooking me up Bob . :thumbsup::cool:

Anytime.

Tractor Supply has a 24" by 48" $199.00. I don't know what we paid for the polly roller.

Toby, which truggy are you looking at?

RC8T of course :)

I'll tell you, I loooove the look of the RC8T CE.
The rolling chassis is >$550 then add in electronics, engine, etc. it's like $1K for the build right?

Yeah, that sounds about right :)

what engines would you possibly toss in that truck?

I run a Mugen Ninja JX21 in my STRR. Has more than enough power. I have also run Werks TL B7 pro 21. in my HB lighting found it to be a good motor.

fyi don't let the boss catch ya at work on hobbytalk. or should I say check the history

What happened to the roller? I know it isn't holding water, but is it a hole puncture or a gash/slit type puncture? And is the puncture on the side or the rolling surface? It might be repairable the same way pond liners are done if it is polyethylene or PVC and the puncture is on the side, or with a plastic weld kit, like repairing a kayak.
I think your right about the plastic weld kit...I thought I had one a work. But .I can not find it...The crack is close the the end on the roller on the roller surface..anybody have a weld kit??

picked up 10x10 canopy tonight:thumbsup:..no more sitting in the heat all day for me and the boss.....is it sunday yet....:dude:

I couldn't believe you did the last race without one. :)

...and that's why I park under the tree. No room in the Mustang for a standard EZ-Up. I've got to get something though, having no shade is killing me...

me either:freak:

The best money you ever spent in RC.. :thumbsup:

Gary, I believe there is an old roller there made out of what looks like two pieces of large diameter steel pipe. The welds holding the sections together are broken. I don't even know if it would be a viable short term solution.

The other solution that was dicussed last year, was filling the old roller (with the seat) with some sort of aggregate media. But it has many holes in it.

I'll take a look at it Sunday, Bob, and see if it can be rewelded.

Thats a good looking roller . :thumbsup:

Might be able to pick on up at an area Tractor Suppy.

They have one in stock at the Tractor Supply in Sussex.

Two things
One if the roller can be welded I have access to a stick welder and I personally have a 220volt mig welder but would have to get it to my house
Secondly, I suggested to get a new roller from homedepot and wait two weeks and exchange the broken one as a defect then we would have two rollers and make a double roller,twice the rolling power!!!!

I guess all we need is authorization to by it and someone with a truck?:thumbsup:

Also we need to make an area to park the roller new or old. Dragging it over all of the rocks in the lot (as we/I have been doing) is not helping their longevity. Just my 2 cents

Good idea except they no longer carry the one we have. I wonder why:rolleyes:

She left for Dover to go to the races.

Matt, if you get a tent and bring it somehow to the track it can be stored in the container. We need to clean it out and there should be plenty of room. Maybe sunday some of our young guns can work on that???????? You young studs know who I am talking about.

Wayne, I'll be there early on Sunday to help out if needed.

Finishing updates on all the rules, have made a couple changes/updates to the rules format.

For completeness, I would like to add in Mini Cooper Rules (same for oval and road course).

Please take a look and let me know thoughts/concerns/changes - I put this together as a starting point so let your opinions be heard now.

Since this is a spec class, I based the rules off of the slash, but opened them up to the 3 mini variants, M03, M04 and M05 (all short configurations).

new rules for indoor?...

new rules for indoor?...

Yea, we ran a whole season of mini coopers indoor on the oval and road course, but never had any written rules, so I figured I would try to have rules for all the classes we race/raced over the last year before I post the rules updates.

Did you look at the exploded view of the trans? I looked at a forward only and the standard trans and there appears to be only one shaft.

Did you have the tranny apart?
