we should all hit a real race this year. How about the F1 race in Indy? Womack and I go every year and get infield tickets. Cheap, and you can go to different parts of the track. We should get the SARC (Summt) crew out to see how the real guys run.

Ben Dude I screwed up and posted this out on the main OnRoad Racing but anyway. When Dan and I were at the club race Tuesday you said something about a power supply that was like 40.00 and we would have to add a power cable to it. Do you have anymore info on that a website or something.

Thanks

Mark

Jason, for the 12L3 you will need to run a 1.70 to 1.73 rollout if using a monster stock motor. Tires are Jaco or CRC purple fronts and grey rears. Shock oil should be 30 or 35 wt. Use Associated .022 springs on the old style Ass. front end. If you do use the new reactive caster front end set it up with no reactive caster. Ass. supplies blocks for that in the kit. I recommend the old front end though! Use the thicker .075 T-bar.
Good luck!!

Ron,
Man, that's my car! But yet I'm still about 5 laps down to you guys. But then again, there are guys my exact height and weight making millions of dollars in the NFL. Maybe I need to do more than just match the numbers. :) Sean and I had a great run Tuesday. There was less than a lap difference between us the entire last heat and the whole main.
Jason, looking forward to racing with you again on the road course.

Blackstock's TC3 setup for Cleveland is on the Associated site. It is about dead on for TC Stock. But we run Purple/Orange front and Purple rear tires.

Tuesday night was a lot of fun. I have been away for 4 years and it was good to run that close to someone again... and win... lol Good times brotherman!
Now I have to catch the Thompson Twins (Karl and Ben).

I'll let Brad know. He also has a bunch of tires for $13 a pair.
here's links to the power supplies I was talking aboot
like mine (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3182049524&category=2565)
not like mine but they work too (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3085692021&category=48708)
heres a good setup (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3181996795&category=34063)
I also have a Pyramid 25 amp PS with adjustable voltage that I could sell for $60 shipped :)

here's a good starting point:

front
f-0 block
yellow spring
2 piston
60wt
4 caster
losi steering block (important!)
rear tower spaced up .050" inside hole (or just use front tower and outer hole for now)
inside hole on arm
Upper outer camber link
Buds .078" sway bar (important!)
4mm ride height
1 mm up travel
1.5 degree camber

rear
f block instead of r (important!)
r-2+2 block (important!)
purple spring
2 piston
40 wt
short WB
Outer hole on tower and arm
upper inner camber link
4 mm ride height
2-3 mm up travel
1.5 deg camber

R/O=1.00-1.04"

Using 3 pistons will make it much easier to drive as will r-3+2 blocks or AE steering blocks
