Phat Dakota 08-21-2002, 09:52 AM I think we should revive it! psycho02 08-21-2002, 01:03 PM REVIVE IT JOHNNY KawadaKid 08-21-2002, 02:51 PM Yeah, we should revive it.

Well, I guess we'll just have to bring it back to life! Now, all we need is a server. Jerrod???? Anybody???? Jeff???? nitrorod 08-21-2002, 04:17 PM Well since the site is still running we have a server and I would be willing to help out with the design we just need to get the site admin to help with the up-loads to the server. Anyone know the site admin? Originally posted by John Warner Well, I guess we'll just have to bring it back to life! Now, all we need is a server. Jerrod???? Anybody???? Jeff???? Phat Dakota 08-21-2002, 04:53 PM I bet Jeff Brown does, since he did the site in the first place DaRoot'e'yeah 08-21-2002, 06:11 PM Originally posted by Phat Dakota I don't know anyone that has a biscuit cutter, but that would definatley be better than just screwing them together. Biscuit cutter no problem. Got one in the basement. Guess we just need to decide on how high and how deep we want the jumps. John Warner 08-21-2002, 11:05 PM Yes, it is indeed Jeff Brown who was hosting the site, along with the 1/12thScale.com site. Originally posted by nitrorod Well since the site is still running we have a server and I would be willing to help out with the design we just need to get the site admin to help with the up-loads to the server. Anyone know the site admin? Denney 08-22-2002, 09:54 AM Regarding the indoor "offroad" track...Would it be possible to design and build the jumps to be easily lowered for rally use (it's a bit hard on the rally cars to use the full size stadium set-up) - and do you think we would be able to get enough people to regularly run a rally class??? Denney Phat Dakota 08-22-2002, 09:57 AM Biscuit cutter no problem. Got one in the basement. Guess we just need to decide on how high and how deep we want the jumps. Sweet, I drew up an idea for the table top jump the other night and have sketches of the other jumps as well. There's a MARS race this weekend so I'll have to bring them by next weekend to the track to let everyone see. I was also thinking about what John said about using sheet metal so cover the jumps. I don't know where to get sheets in the sizes we need or how much they would cost if anyone has ideas. We need them 8' wide and in various lengths. I did find out that we need something along the lines of 24ga sheet metal. I may also have a place or two to get them from. I'll keep everyone informed when I find out for sure. I also found some metal panels we could use for a washboard section. The only problem is I wouldn't have a clue as how to get ahold of them, maybe through a construction company or someone that does metal buildings. Phat Dakota 08-22-2002, 10:06 AM I don't see why we couldn't make rally car accomodating jumps. Could use 2x4's and 2x6's for the templates to make those jumps. And we could just swap out the bigger jumps for those in the rally car heats. The idea I had for the jumps is to glue carpet to them so we don't have to keep laying out sections and taping them down to make them more mobile. the only hard part is getting enough people to run the class. I have mine, I have to fix the busted chassis still, who else is interested?? Since it doesn't look like mod 4wd buggy will be taking off like I hoped. Denney 08-22-2002, 11:27 AM I know Cory & Gary D. (raced Mini Coopers last year) both are VERY interested in running Rally, but weren't too fond of breaking stuff on the big jumps. I'll get the word out & see if we can get enough to run on a regular basis. May not be nearly as cool as Mod Buggy, but a 19T rally if fairly fast too... Denney Denney 08-22-2002, 11:28 AM Forgot to mention that Cory & I would be willing to help with designing/building/supplies, etc. Denney John Warner 08-22-2002, 04:12 PM Well, lookie here..... Denny B. has made his way to our thread!! Good to have you aboard!! Ready for indoors??? :) John Denney 08-22-2002, 04:55 PM Very ready...just need to get a 12th scale...it's mandatory you know - at least that's what I told my wife! Denney DaRoot'e'yeah 08-22-2002, 10:10 PM Sheet Metal? Hadn't thought of that. I was thinking of something called Luanne(I'm probably no where near right on the spelling). I figure a thin laminate should do the trick. Not like a 1/10th scale truck weighs that much. Guess it just depends on whats cheaper and easy to get. And as for the rally cars, they're a big reason why I want to build new jumps. I'm hoping with a smoother transition at the top and bottom of the jump, they'll fair much better. I wouldn't really worry too much about the height thing, though. I've had a FT TC3 about 10 feet in the air last year. Landed with no problems. Of course Mr. Warner's didn't do so well...:lol: And as for 1/12th scale, I guess I'm glad mine showed up at Rider's today. Now I just gotta figure out how to get Jeffy to build it.....:devil: psycho02 08-22-2002, 10:40 PM GOOD MAN DENNEY 12TH SCALE IS MANDATORY THIS YEAR, just tell your wife she will have to understand and if she has an issue with it then she can get a 12th scale car of her own. John Warner 08-22-2002, 11:15 PM Originally posted by DaRoot'e'yeah Sheet Metal? Hadn't thought of that. I was thinking of something called Luanne Been there done that. It won't hold up for more than a month. It's NOT the cars, trucks or buggies, it's the marshals and their big feet that do all the damage! John Warner 08-22-2002, 11:16 PM Ken, thanks for the present you left me. It came in real handy!!:wave: John Warner 08-22-2002, 11:19 PM Club Racing Reminder............ 1/12 scale is mandatory this year. Please make note and pass it along to those that are on a need to know basis!!! LoL! vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
