John, Fred...... I do hope you realize that Pete G. and I are only teasing with you. I know your happy with your new Defex, and I don't blame you. After all, it's a great design, and far superior to that No Powered thing you were driving! So, don't get your undies in a knot! Thanks for the complements and my undies are just fine.

REFLEX X 2

IM back:thumbsup:

About time!

ya fred i know had a little bit of a hard time with the password thing.

so steven you want me to bring some ice tea with me this weekend sounds like its going to to get hot:wave:

X 2???? Lemme guess, now you have two of them? I guess one must be for spare parts since the Provetti crew didn't put everything in the box, right?

What you need to do with that shiny new T3 Mr Warner is GET IT DIRTY!!!!! You should go to the mexors and mars races at brooklyn at race that truck. If you need any set-up advice I can provide that as well as any of the other glrc guys who race off-road RACE THAT BIG BROWN TRUCK DALE....er....JOHN.:thumbsup: :wave:

I know I dont want to.

...whatever happened to air kompressor from the indoor track? It might come in pretty handy cleaning a car after hosing it down. just a thought.

U know, the way i see it is that u guys are just jelious of our belts. Me and Fred are just aware of their superior efficiency. When will u guys learn? lol...

Hey there Wopper! Hows it going?!?!? :wave:

Steven Stewart,
GS Racing Team

hows it going kawada chump. that bet we have can happen this weekend now that i have a sedan now:D

Steven,
I did learn all about belts. In fact, it was when I was about 6 years old. Belts are used for holding up your pants!! When was the last time you saw a full sized car that was running on belts?? Last time I checked, they all had metal shafts!!

Ur on Wopper! I just hope i get my tyres!

steven it whopper and i kind of like that name dont you think its fitting

Sure i guess? You sure will take Whopping thow. We should put some money on this race. Im in for 5 bucks. Anyone else?

Steven Stewart,
GS Racing Team

only five lets make as fred would say ffity:D

hahaha, Fredie Provetti...:lol:

or why dont we make it set of tyres? if i win, i get your tires, if you win, you get my tires. That seems fair.

Steven Stewart,
GS Racing Team

what you can't get tires for that much cash

Man, im trying to make this intersting. We sure are getting the posts up!!!

So you would bet a set of whooped tires? forget I would take the cash.:eek: :devil:

ken dont tell me your on the side of a nitro car:eek:

My tyres will hardly be "whooped" after driving slow enough to let dave catch up!!!:wave: :roll:

ya ran the same amount of laps with a buggy last time you ran just think me with a sedan:D :rolleyes:

What race was that?

Yo, Steven....

Shafts don't warp, and.... they don't break or fall off like those whimpy garter belts do either!! As far as your race against Whooper goes, you'd better hope you don't flame out!!!

Man, im confident in my little powerplant. It hasnt flamed out once all year. (knock on wood).

that same race you bet the nitro foam guys you never look a the off road class because i did the same

Man, its on! Is it Stock Or mod? Either way, why dont we make it a 6 Min. Race?

Why dont you get on AOL dave?

any way you whant to get whopped.we should make this a real test of driving and just look at times lets see if you can get by trafic.and yes i dont die until 7 1/2 min

i am new email Mistery2

You will succumb to my overwhelming power!

Sorry Steven if it is a 6 or 7 min race I gotta go with electric unless you find a track with 200 foot long straightaways so that you can use all that nitro power. But heck while were at it why don't you race me, and my buggy. But heres the deal we will race for five minutes AT LANSING, yeah thats the ticket yeah. It dos'nt matter shaft or belt then yeah, and we can bet for some Mikes hard lemonade or tea or whichever one you like.:eek: :devil: :wave:

You got it! You people doubt me but i have lots of confidence in my nitro power.

Two Words:


Nitro Sucks!!!!!!!!!!:p

Eh, I dont to care what others think about my source of power.

I am starting to agree.

Nitrorod - Why is that? :( Are you having handling problems?

Look at Rich...always lending a helping hand...

You know Rich, he should have gone into nitro the right way...u know, a Mugen. Belts ROCK! and so does NITRO!

Aaron - that's b/c I want more folks to race nitro. :p

Kawadakid - Heh - I agree! btw: shouldn't you be changing your handle on here? :)

Jerrod - not sure if you are having handling problems, but if you are the biggest modification to how a car handles (especially these big horsepower nitro cars) is diffs diffs diffs. Not shock oil, not shock springs... it's diffs diffs diffs. :) I think you are running a NTC3 with rubber tires? If so, run your rear diff as loose as you can (without it slipping) and run your front diff considerably tighter. You will have a little push entering the corner, but you will have much much better traction exiting the corner. You'll also carry a lot more corner speed and don't have to drive the car hard. If you have on-power oversteer exiting the corner, this will more than likely fix that. After that, you can adjust droop settings and then shocks to adjust your overall steering.

-Rich

Yeah, but ya see, he has those silly ball diffs on a nitro car. You cant adjust them with different oils. I found 50,000 front and 5,000 rear works, but i have no idea what that would be equal to in tension on a diff.

Rich: i have thought about it. Im kinda bored too, so maybe i will make a new name.

Steven Stewart,
GS Racing Team

"GSRacingKid." haha!

Yeah, those ball diffs make it hard to keep them consistent from rebuild to rebuild. But, as long as the rear diff is as loose as possible and front diff is a lot tighter than the rear, it should be okay.

I've run a ton of diff oil combinations this year. I started with 30000 wt front and rear, then 30000 rear and 15000 front, then 20000 rear and 30000 front, then 30000 rear and 10000 front, then 25000 front and 600 rear, and now I am at 10000 front and 600 rear. I am planning on sticking with the 10000 front and 600 rear. The only thing I may try is change the rear diff to 1000, but at this point I am too lazy to change it.

It is a long, messy job. Thats why i stuck with what worked first. lol, i like the name, give me a min. and i will be back on it.
