View Full Version : NMRCC 2011 Gaylord, MI RC Racing and FUN!
Hey folks just got off the phone with Marty in Canada and the jumps are all done and they sound great
If you haven't got a chance to go post up fo Roll call please do so
Jbod You going to make it over the bridge
JJ how bout it
Seems like the Braggin Rights Race is going to be a good one
KC would really like to, but haven't done any winter racing this year. I have a huge winter project and trying to go down for the first series race at AMS.
Don't even have a carpet muncher ready. Thanks for asking thou.
I promise some day I will make it up that way.
jbod....you have the aluminum rear hubs for the hellfire?
Not sure. All my rc stuff is buried in the garage. I know I have stock but I will go look.
Just looked and all I saw at a quick glance were stock. I think I might somewhere.

lol, i know what you mean " i might somewhere", if ya run across any let me know.
What you doing with hellfire stuff?
Mike D. 01-16-2012, 08:02 PM What you doing with hellfire stuff?
if i told you, you would not let me know if you have some...lol, i hear that is one of the best mods for the D8T, the hellfire aluminum rear hubs fit the rear and have a slightly differnt angle than the d8t ones, makes for better rear traction and they are tough as nails.
That's cool! You keep reading and learning and I will finish my house project, then you can fill me in on all the good stuff! Sounds like a great idea to me.

Just add it to my credit line. You know I'm good for it.
Mike D. 01-16-2012, 09:25 PM so when will they make a 1/8 scale stadium truck? now that would be sweet!!!
Look at HPI's new line of flux cars. They have 1/8 sc and a apache that looks like it would be cool as hell to race.

saw those, but would like to see a stadium truck in a 1/8 scale. the 1/8 short course never took off (nitro or electric) most guys are just using them to bash around.

LMAO....dont need another engine, just have been tinkering with them, bought a pinch tool and a buddy sent me some instructions on how to get more low end/top end/ run time by moding exhaust port and sleeve and head button, just thought i would experiment.

Talk to jay at performance. Adam used to have a crap tone that maybe Jay inherited.
Mike D. 01-19-2012, 07:09 PM Talk to jay at performance. Adam used to have a crap tone that maybe Jay inherited.
ill give him a ring tomorrow! Dont want any traxxas engines though. thanks
Adam had a box full of different motors when he was having that garage sale thing in the other shop just before he closed up. I know there were a couple HPI .21 and .25. And a couple LRP's.
And for traxxas motors, what better motors to learn on? You couldn't possibly make them any worse.

my pinch tool and mod tools are for .21 engines and up only.
Scuba Steve what's up brother? Hows life treating you?
Inferno can you check the pinch with that new tool?
Would like to know what condition that go motor I got with the d8t is in.
Mike D. 01-19-2012, 07:43 PM Inferno can you check the pinch with that new tool?

not really, you van tell just buy pushing the piston up the sleeve and see how far it from the top when it start getting tight. or just do the lean test, get piston to top and hold flywheel and hold engine on its side and see if it will hold its own weight
Do you have any motor parts left for them go motors?
Mike D. 01-19-2012, 07:53 PM Do you have any motor parts left for them go motors?
yep, no piston/sleeves, but have rods, o rings, piston pins, but the newer GO parts wont fit the engine you have in your truggy, the crank pin is smaller than the gx5r and newer go engines, that engine is a GO TECH engine, the newer ones are made buy a new company called GO ENGINES., in the next month or so the only dealer for GO engines will be amainhobbies, unless the few guys that still have stock are still selling them.
So what your saying is that you sold me a thro away motor?
Mike D. 01-19-2012, 07:58 PM So what your saying is that you sold me a thro away motor?
no, you bought the throw away engine off fleabay with your truggy, i sold you the newer GX5R go engine:)
So you give me a GX5R and I will give you a GO TECH engine.
I know the go tech motor had a very small tuning window, so have you ever hear of any one trying different carbs to correct that?
Mike D. 01-19-2012, 08:05 PM I know the go tech motor had a very small tuning window, so have you ever hear of any one trying different carbs to correct that?
yah, a few guys put OS carbs on them and said they where alot better. the HS needles are very touchy on all the go engines, i have a few OS carbs if you need one:wave:
Mike D. 01-19-2012, 08:08 PM So you give me a GX5R and I will give you a GO TECH engine.
ill pass on that deal:p
Might try that to see if it helps.
Mike D. 01-19-2012, 08:11 PM Might try that to see if it helps.
let me know if you want one, have them listed forsale
ill pass on that deal:p
Oohhhh! Come on that's a great deal.

Mike D. 01-19-2012, 08:17 PM the carbs are 124.00 on amain, make me a offer on one
yah, a few guys put OS carbs on them and said they where alot better. the HS needles are very touchy on all the go engines, i have a few OS carbs if you need one:wave:
