Also just confirmed tonight, Ryan Cavalieri will be coming to race with us again in December for the 3rd Annual Northern National. We would like to welcome Ryan back, and thank Team Associated for being the Title Sponsor of the 2011 Northern Nationals.

As almost everyone knows.. I signed with Team C racing this week and saturday will be the last race with my losi cars. if anyone is interested my any of my cars feel free to stop by my pits or pm me. On a said note... i will be forced to take a break from 4wdsc as Team C 4wdsc will not be released till after the first of the year. So i will be ordering a 1/10 buggy to run!

If you can add an extra Part# T08612 to your order, that would be great, since it's one of the part that broke during our crash, and I forgot to order it from Honk Kong...

They have a conversion for the buggy to extend the chassis too... interesting how everybody is moving towards longer chassis now

Thanks Charlie!:thumbsup:

Hey I have a couple more quick q's. First do I need a personal transponder, or do you have house transponders? Also in the mod short course class will the castle 3800 4 pole be enough motor? I can drive OK, just worried about be slow on the straights...lol

Kerby
10-22-2011, 08:05 PM
To much....they run those in the 4wd SCs.....10.5 is enough..depends on your skill level

Leonard
10-23-2011, 09:16 AM
It would definately be more than enough. Unless you detune the snot out of it, it would be overkill in 2wd. I tried it and went back to a 8.5.

awesome racing yesterday, WOW is all I can say. it should be a great winter of racing, we cannot wait.

the 4x4 main was by far the most intense race I have ever had to go thru watching my son race.

thanks again to uncle e and all the guys that make it happen.

the G&G show.

10-23-2011, 07:15 PM
Yes, thanks E, for a great place to race, wish we had more time on the new clay to figure out a good set-up. Had a great time, always fun to race with our GR friends.

Big thanks from the guys at NMRCC Gaylord, MI. We all had a great time.

E, I can't wait to see the pics though, I'm sure you did'nt get my head in the picture with those 3 footers that beat me.....LOL!

so i was looking at the posted race schedule and noticed that for the Halloween havoc race .the date was wrong you have oct 29 and the race was oct 22 oops hope you did not loose racers thinking is was going to be on the 29th see attachment of race schedule .

Revo
10-24-2011, 01:27 PM
Nope we are good. That date had to change because MORL decided to host their banquet on Oct 29 right on top of the date we had the race scheduled for to begin with. We have been announcing the race date at the track for the last couple months, sent out emails to all our racers in the data base with the correct date, and if you check the schedule here on HobbyTalk its got the right date also. Missed that one in the flier, but anyone who is around the track, on line or in our data base all had the correct date. :thumbsup:

I just personally think Oct 22 is to early for the race, wasnt close enough to Halloween. But what can you do when someone books on top of you?

Alrighty cool! I may have to chuck one of my 10.5's in then and give it a try. Also about the transponders...are personals required? My buddy is going to be racing too, and he doesn't have a personal. Thanks again for the help!

Tomorrows weather report: 52 degrees, 60% chance of rain. So weather is going to suck, your not going to be out working in your yard. Golf league is done. Its time to get into winter mode and get your RC's out and ready to race on Wednesday nights. What else are you going to do? Sit at home in front of the TV or play on the computer? Dont be "That Guy"!

Holy balls! So lets get this straight, Proving Grounds is now going to be open on Sundays for racing. The only thing that could make this better is if we had a sweet "weekly rate" for all the racing you wanted to do. Wait, we already do! So for $20 I can race on Wednesday (two classes), practice all day Friday, race on Saturday (two classes), and race on Sunday (two classes). If I wasn't married, I would be living at the track every week. :thumbsup:

In case you have not heard yet, Sidetrax Hobbies is moving to a larger store location this weekend! Not to mention an easier location to get to. The new address will be:

Sidetrax Hobbies
2939 Wilson SW
Grandville, MI 49418

Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=2939+Wilson+Ave+SW+49418&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=hnear=0x8819b079b40b94d3:0x6dbca059eaca5f33,293 9+Wilson+Ave+SW,+Wyoming,+MI+49418&gl=us&ei=c12nTt_jH6_MiQKMkcTXAw&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CBwQ8gEwAA

They will be one block North of Chicago Drive, 3 blocks South of 28th Street SW, and 3 blocks South of highway I-196. Pretty much as easy to get to as they come. They will be in the same building as the US Post Office. Oh and did I mention, its a larger store! Sidetrax will be closing early on Friday to start packing up. Saturday they will be closed while they move. The goal is to be open Monday morning at the new location.
