LUCK JJ, I feel your pain brother.

I need to get up to performance and get some paint for this 1/8 Buggy for the Big.. K
what colors should I do this time ? Maybe I will do the ESE to match.

I miss dirt, anyone else? I'm feeling lonely!........LOL!



Na, not lonely, just need some dirt underneath my fingernails.

Yes, I need to do the same thing, the body that came with my Buggy is solid black, won't be able to see that on the back straight with dim lighting....

Neon! Easy to see any where, and distracs other drivers. He,He,He.

Revo-lution, no racing today?

No lights, I remember that, certainly makes for an interesting day. I just hope it's a little warmer than last year. I think it was like 5 deg outside an 9 deg inside....LOL!

Well, I went there got all my stuff set up and ready, then I looked at the ridiculous, bucket of $hit track set up that Adam had going on, and packed all my stuff back up and left! I don't know WTF he was thinking, but I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be a off road layout, not a dumb-a$$ layout!

Well now don't hold back, tell us how you really feel! LOL.

Its not so bad for me, I only live 10 minutes away, except for the fact that I'm way to busy all the time, and I want to race offroad! But for the guys that have to drive an hour or two to get there, what a joke!!!

Some times you have to take the good with the bad when you drive that far!

Tipp 5 more minutes and it's to the dungeon for you. LOL. Did you get you ESC back?

Well, wasting my damn time really pi$$es me off! And working on my trucks, getting everything ready, and going there, was a serious waste of my time!

Were you vocal about the whole lame track thing?

How can you have a offroad track without any jumps? I'll tell you how, you take 5 minutes after an oval race, relocate a couple plastic pipes, throw 50 steel bumps all over the place, and TaDa, you have an dumba$$ offroad track!

No jumps ? No Table Top ?

Now you know you have the come with us to the Big K and get your Fix :thumbsup:

Yeah, pretty vocal! We were all standing there looking at it in disbelief, and I said "who the #*ck designed this piece of $hit" and Adam, standing right behind me said "I did" I ask him WTF, went and put my stuff away and left! I'm just sick of this crap, every week the track get a little less fun, and alot more "lazily" built!

Two sets of two rollers, that's it, no jumps at all! That is how he set it up! Frank, Scott, spicy Matt, and Mike Roe, were going out to build a real track when I was leaving, but I really don't think for the amount of money we all spend to race there, that it should be left in the hands of the racers to setup the track! I don't know, maybe Im just being difficult!

I'm definetely going there, I just don't know if I'm going mess around with performance anymore!

Sweet :cool:

Your welcome to share a ride and room with us if you'd like, it will be myself,GNS and Randy. Already have the room reserved at the Holiday Inn express 4 miles from the track. We'll split the room and gas 4 ways.

Revo-lution, it feels good to purge your feelings once in a while, doesn't it!

I'm just extremely irritated, and I realize I tend to go a bit overboard in, and on everything that I do, and I probably shouldn't have left today. I should have stayed and helped build a track, and then raced. But it's not my responsibility!!! So instead, I'm going to be pi$$ed off all week about it, and ponder wether or not to sell all my indoor $hit and just race outdoors and downstate.

I always have fun when I'm racing, but it's just hard for me to accept carpet racing, just too much like road racing especially if there are no big jumps. I agree, that off-road racing, means jumps and alot of them and big too!

The thing is, I stopped in on Monday, pulled Adam aside and told him, the ridiculous pace he ran last weeks race in, was not right. And that I do this to have fun, but in order to make it worth justifying the time to do it, I have to race 2-3 classes. And being pushed through the racing, and all but shoved out the door as soon as the last main was finished, to me, wasn't much fun! So to go there today, excited about racing, and have a hemmorhoid of a track set up, really burned my a$$!

So Brad what classes are you running at AMS ?

1/8 Truggy and 1/8 buggy for sure, probably 1/10 stadium truck, and maybe 2wd or 4wd short course. It depends on if I have the time to build my 4wd slash or not, and what the motor requirements for 1/10 scale stuff is. I have a velineon system for the 4wd, but for the 2wd slash and my t4.1 all I have are 17.5 motors.

Hey Jason, what have you been up to? Haven't seen you in a long time. You been racing at all? And if so, where?

Hey tipp, yeah that sounds good, I will have to get the details from you guys!

I have not done much racing lately. None this month and not really much since the PVG Northern Nats..
Took the month off of racing to save and gear up for the Big K. been racing in GR mostly.

Classes they run stock and mod in all classes. So the VXL system us fine in mod. I will dig up the flyer again

Just a reminder... Whoo.. Whoo...
Just to get everyone's blood flowing again

I am in for
Mod S.C
1/8 E buggy
2wd buggy (Mod or 17.5 not sure)
Maybe Mod Stadium Truck... If I push my luck. I am thinking 3 is enough :)

Yeah, I was thinking 3 classes is probably good, unless they run the program like Adam, then I'll probably run just one so I can keep up.

The 3 qualifying rounds will be all day. With 3 classes you will still have plenty of time. Last year I did 2 and I was bored...

That's good to know.

ive been saying that for 3 years....LOL. JEEEEZE, now you agree....LOL:), thats why i sold all mt carpet CRAP.

The thing is, offroad carpet can be fun, if the damn track owner doesn't have his head up his a$$!!!

NAH, i would'nt say that, just use my time for more productive things and save money for the real toys and tracks

Or at least get a bottle of windex and a glass a$$hole, so he can see!

Tipp, have you been let out of the dungeon yet?
Yep, I'm back, spend all afternoon working on the rc stuff, I've been having problems with my controller or so I've found out I've been having trouble with my controller, it has a dead spot in the rheostat, so it doesn't always find neutral. It's been giving me fits since the end of summer, finally figured it out and confirmed it with GNS, he had the same problem last year, exactly what happened to me. So guess what? YES, a new controller is in the mail, just before the big kahuna race, I'll have to get used to and learn all about my new Futaba 3PK. Hopefully GNS will give me a hand learning some things about it.

The 3 qualifying rounds will be all day. With 3 classes you will still have plenty of time. Last year I did 2 and I was bored...
We where all board, I ran two classes and it was 3 1/2 hours between rounds. At one point I tore the rear diff out of the slash and re-packed it with grease, just for something to do, oh yea, and rebuilt all of my shocks in the stadium truck. Three classes will help fill the void I'm guessing.

Sorry GNS, I finally made a choice for the mod slash, I went with the 6.5 550 sc Fantom motor. I can't wait to get that thing mounted and see what kind of sick power that puts out........So many new toys and so few races to go to, can't hardly wait for the BIG K race.

was just reading that the ribbed (blade type) tire has been banned for short course trucks, no longer able to run them on front.

Does anybody know what turn motor I should have in my t4.1 for the big k, 17.5 or 13.5?

13.5 is what most guys run
