Just as a comparison, Derek is running a 6000mah 50c and his works. Mine worked all last week with a 5000mah 40c, but I am not sure battery is the issue. It seems once the battery was unplugged and back in it was fine again.

Unless your 5600mag 50C batt is bad I would doubt it.

Now if I could only drive like a real sponsored driver. :) I just like to hear the insight on the technology that is up an coming.

Me too.

Yeah. Also, when I got home, I noticed I lost a front spring cup off one of my front shocks on the B44. I don't know if that happened during the race or not. The car definitely handled a little funky but I am sure I would have noticed the front drooping down if it was like that during the main...ah well. Got 3 weeks to collect parts :thumbsup:

Yeah, I need to make a phone call myself and get parts on order.

No, but now I know what they are for :):thumbsup: . I should prolly get some of Gary's Carbo's.
I have used rubber bands for years with great results . I always carry extra with me . They last for years and work great . Next time I see you I will hook you up .:wave::cool:

Bob,

Thank you for supporting Pro-Line products. If you are looking at the rear of a car, you do want the Y in center tread to face forward. If the Y is upside down the n you are mounting it the wrong way. We should have an arrow on the side wall of the tire. Thank you for the insight, I will make sure to contact R&D on this matter.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be more than happy to help in any way.

Thank you and have a great day!

Your such a suck up. jk Did they give a set of tires for free?

Jt Pm.

To those that have been up to Station 2 what time do you guys usually get out of there by? Since we can't make it June 6th at DR we might try to hit Station 2 this weekend or June 13th.

Free tires? Are you kidding? :freak:

I just had to know what the correct mounting direction was. Maybe they will put an arrow on them so there is no more mystery. I'll bet lots of folks are running them backwards.:cool:

Alvin, haven't been up since last fall, but I recall it being similar to DR. They run 2 qual heats and a main also in that time.

Just trying to figure out if we get out by 6 That means about a 2 hr drive back. Not to mention summer traffic coming back on the I87.

Traffic wasn't bad from the section of I87 I traveled on. Was worse going north.

What time did you get out of there when you went?

Ah boy. it was a while back, prolly October. I think it was getting dark in the last heat (truggy), so I'm thinking between 6-7pm. But like Wayne said, depends on how many entries. So i'd guestimate between 5-7pm to be safe :thumbsup:

I run mine backwards! And look how I did and don't even think of saying what happened after the race was over....thank goodness it wasnt much money but we can talk about that while taking the roller back if ya wanna tag along with me.

I don't agree with them mounted that way, but I didn't design them. Goes against real car installation. I will try them both ways since I have them different on the sprint now:freak:

Well, think about it like this. Paddle tires, you would think that they go on so the paddle from the side would look like a "c" but people turn them around to scoop the sand and shoot it out to propel the car forward. Sorry Bob, I feel like that was said as if you don't no jack about cars and I don't mean it like that. When I saw people putting paddles on the HPI baja's backwards I thought they were stupid.

I just relate it to real car stuff. But in that situation you are trying to disperse water to prevent hydroplaning, not trapping dirt for traction. Makes sense.

Anyone else think there should be no marshalls standing inside the off road track? The only one thats was ok was when Jason was marshalling right in the middle. He was always crounched down. Man there were a lot of blind spots.

yes i agree 100%

I am extracting he videos from my video camera. Watching the 2WD truck main, there are 6, yes 6 marshals inside the track....

I am curious what kind of comments we will get next race about marshalling with marshalls outside the track taking who knows how long to get to the cars in the center of the track when they need marshalling. Especially by the whoops.

Im curious how badly some kid is going to get hurt when struck from behind by a truggy. We Marshalled from the outside for 2 years on the old layout.

I don't wanna cause any conflict on here or towards anybody..but here is my issue why was there a 4x4 slash racing with 4wd buggies and a nitro truck?...the slash raced in the proper class then he was put in the 4wd buggies..along with the nitro...i hope this doesn't continue I'm being honest this really bothered me alot and not to mention the fact. my buggy and truck were used as jumps for them...they had no place to be in the A-main what's so ever i know I'm not the only one that feels this way...

I felt the same way about Chris Long running his 3S powered 4WD truck in the 2WD truck class last year. And about the 4wd buggies running in the 2WD buggy class at Station 2. I see your point about the Slash 4X4, but where else would the 1/10th 4WD nitro truck have run?

Last year there was usually someone in the middle by the drian. Probably not appropriate for a kid to be marshalling truggies no matter where they stand. I got hit by one standing outside the track on a practice day.

Can't quite imagine where there would have been six people inside the track. Two I could see (one by the whoops and one in the closed loop after the tabletop).

I can account for that being a pretty accurate number. At times there were 2 kids per empty space of track. They were also jumping when the cars jumped and reaching out towards the cars and yelling for them to crash.

A lot of the reason this happens is because the older people walk away because they see a bunch of kids marshaling and think its OK not to marshal.

I don't want to get in the business of using the videos to stir up stuff. I'm just a geek and like to review the races and hope others enjoy them to.

As an idea, how about we place small cones, at say six spots on the offroad track. People will know where we need a marshal. As we had alot of kids who wanted to volunteer and get involved, we can basically tell them to marshal one of those stations (i.e not marshaled by a racer from previous heat) ONLY, with ONE kid per station. Thoughts ?

I just want to say I am not complaining about them marshaling, its great they want to help, they just need a little guidance ;)

let me make my point more clear hear DID I USE YOUR BUGGY AS A JUMP? DID I SMASH INTO YOUR BUGGY AND BREAK IT? OR FORCE YOU OFF THE TRACK?...I MADE IT TO THE A-MAIN with the 2wd buggies YES I WAS DRIVING A 4WD buggy it was my very first time racing it.

We could put small folding chairs this way people may sit instead of standing and blocking a corner from vision.

How about running the Losi 10T in Open Monster ? There was a SC 4WD nitro Red-Cat truck running with the truggies.

Maybe it was the first time for the guy with the Ten-T. I never saw it before. Did you?

That is a better idea than running it in 4WD buggy class.

But in order for those kinds of things to happen, someone has to look at every unknown or questionable entry and decide where it goes. The people that sign up don't always know and with 180-190 entries Wayne or Charlie don't have time to course-correct each one they don't recognize. I think if the Ten-T shows up again, someone who has an interest in the class it shouldn't run it should make their task to redirect the entry to a more appropriate class.

Mike..I hear ya but look on the bright side of things you went home with your buggy in one piece. Derick and I were unfortunate that we werent able too. Altho my car got broken after the race was over. For me I learned I'll have to get someone pull my car off the track and get it out of harms way.

Actually the Ten T from Losi is a truggy hence the name and I do agree that's a good class for it. If it were the old days the regular monster truck class would of been perfect for it.

Maybe it was the first time for the guy with the Ten-T. I never saw it before. Did you?

i was referring to the slash..more then the T..

that really sucked man.. kinda a meat-head move by somebody yes my stable came home in one piece...but i did have pieces broken :(

Yeah..no kinda about it. but what did you break? Did anyone make it out of that race alive?

rear a-arm...front shock tower..just off the top of my head..

I was there when that happened, I was the one who suggested the battery replug, This could be a solder issue on the connector on eother side or possibly even a spectrum reciever issue. Check solder connections under shrink on both sides and if not send the reciever in for check and possible upgrade. I had a shutoff problem, they upgraded the reciever firmware and it went away
BrianSame thing happened to me during the 1/8th buggy main.
I was on the track ready to roll and when the race started my buggy no worky.

Luckily I had Alvin and Randy run over, unplug the battery, plug it back in and off I went 1 lap behind.

Yes it can be dangerious and also some get in the way of view of my car on the track adding to the danger. Also the issue of turn 1 pileup on start in mains should be talked about. A better start for mains is more important than track record accuracy for 5 minute race.Anyone else think there should be no marshalls standing inside the off road track? The only one thats was ok was when Jason was marshalling right in the middle. He was always crounched down. Man there were a lot of blind spots.

I just raced for the first time over the weekend, and had a great time. But thats a long day to only run one class. So I picked up a 2wd slash, and I was wondering if its leagal to use comm. drops. Someone told me no, but he wasn't positive. Does anyone know for sure?

Thats a good idea. Maybe number the cones too. Wayne can call out I need a marshall at #3.

First time I ever saw that truck there.
