PS whats the difference between ni-cad and ni-mh batteries again?

HEY ANYBODY WANNA BUY A XXX KINWALD EDITION LET ME KNOW. associated finally did it they got off there behinds and got us a new car now I don't have to feel like a turncoat. J-glo they will be starting the show at raw roots at or around noon and yes I will be there racing my NITRO TRUCK sounds funny dos'nt it? hope to see you there.

Pinwheel the difference between ni cad and ni mh is the chemical makeup of the inside of the cell. For us that means that they have a different charge carecteristic. So if you get some ni mh batteries just make sure that you have a charger that can charge them properly. ie a novak millenium or an lrp pulsar.:thumbsup: My thoughts on the nitro vs electric is not on the technical side but on the driving side. There is a learning curve to racing these little toy cars. And I just think that an electric rig will let you concentrate more on racing because electric is closer to plug and play. You won't have to worry about missing a race if you flame out. And if you are just starting out racing, track time is the most important thing you need.

Ken how about up to hesperia on sunday want to go?

Just plastic gears on an old Lunch Box. Im cleaning it out.

I will be at hesperia as well j-glo.




running my nitro truck


pinwheel you are going to want aerocar gear lube it is made specifically for r/c cars I use it on all my trannies and they are whisper quiet and efficient.

I hate having my batteries held in captivity, it makes them act funny. I always let my cells run free before I use them:p

What's up everyone!! I've been lurking around keeping up with things on here. Also if anyone sees or talks to Jeff let him know I finally got my eyes checked and now have 20:10 vision thanks to my new glasses

See ya!:wave:

Andy.....

Glad to hear your staying in touch. But.... thanks to you being out of town,
I ended up having to play your position in LF!!

So.......... now you owe me a bottle of liniment. He-He!!!!!

Just after last weeks slug out.

how should i best take care of my batterie (thats right one batterie...:( :p )

Its a 7.2V 1500mAH should I drain it compleatly before rechargeing? How long should I wait untill re-charging? Should I only charge and run it once a day?

Yes, one day, and Yes.

good, thanks, thats what I like strait and simple:hat:

does riders charge entrace fee? (For the outdoor racing?)

What is the schedule like for the indoor racing? same deal?
10:00am-when people leave?

Riders does not run the races we (GLRC) do and yeah we charge $10 for racing in the summer. The $10 gets you 3 Qualifiers and one Main. Racing starts at about noon and is done most days about 5:30 this weekend is our last night race which is FREE for those that race durring the day and starts about 7:00-7:30. The indoor schedual last year was:

Saturaday morning oval practice
Saturaday afternoon oval racing
Saturaday night trucks
Sunday morning on-road practice
Sunday afternoon on-road racing
Tuseday night practice
Thusday night Practice/racing

My engine feels nice now...:devil:

OH ok thanks I will have to check out a indoor race this winter.
Is there prize money then or is that to rent the parking lot?

Wow, your going to be busy this weekend.

wow its been a while since ive been on here, lets see....

PHYCO2 if your interested in nitro off road i have a sweet deal on a losi xxxnt, extra tires, newer piston and sleeve in picco 12, all you need is a reciever and controller and starter box, was asking $350, just let me know we can work out a price,

KAWADA KID, no im sorry not ready to give up on that rb yet..

PHAT DAKOTA, John didnt mention that they put me out in left field first, and needless to say i dropped everything that came my way, john on the other hand, made me look stupid cuz the first 2 that came to him were caught, oh yeah, and he also threw 3 of them back in to cut off, then to me on third and got all three out....... you may be fighting for that position... ;)

all the above was from Tony (Mr. Clean) i forgot to log omega pi out and me in......OOOOOOOPS:wave:

We shall see about the truck Mr. clean I have a truck for the rest of this season but maybe still interested in your truck for next season. If you find a buyer sell it but if no one buys it let me know over the winter and maybe I could hook it up for next year. :thumbsup:

Thats quite alright Tony. I just got a rebuild for my mugen and after the MORL Race i might want to have u port it for me. Cya tomarow!

of that porting work for you there Steven,
but remember... he only charges $125.00 for
his tidy handy work!

Fred......???

I'm assuming (and I hate using that word) that you won't be racing with us tomorrow evening for the last night race, correct???? Hopefully I'm wrong, but IF your not going to be there, is there any chance we can use a couple of your halogen lights for a night??

We'd all give ya kisses and hugs.... ;)

I think u heard wrong john. Didnt u replace ur batteries?

anyways, if he charged that much, i would just order an RB or JP Modified powerplant.

Your asumption is correct and yes

Should'nt you be on the road at this time of morning?

I am new to electric on-road racing, I haven't done it yet but I just bought a Team TC3 electric car, 6 2400 Sanyo packs, charger, Futaba radio, etc.
I have no idea where I can go to race...I live in Benton Harbor, MI.
I searched on a URL for the GLRC club in GR, no go.
I searched here and found a few references to on-road racing but no specifics like where (directions) or exact times, what classes were being raced....please help me find some fairly close places to run...I can go to GR (1 hour 30 min drive) or Kalamazoo (1 hour drive)...I prefer to find something closer if possible.
Web URL's for some clubs would be most helpful.

Thank you for your help!

:devil:

Fred....

Well, it looks like your a little closer to taking the win next weekend. I'm not sure it's possible to have my car ready. Had a little mishap just after you left last night.... one of the divider sections of the polymere pipe came loose, and the end of it was sticking out a foot or two into the sweeper lane. Well, as luck would have it Dave Walton & I found it before anyone else!

The results....
My chassis is bent pretty badly, both upper and lower arms were ripped off, the hindge pins looks like a modified pretzel, the carrier is destroyed, the steering link is torn off and mangled up, the shock tower is in two pieces, the gear housing has a large hole in it, the body mounts are now four pieces, the outdrive looks more like a "Z" now and the shock was nowhere to be found! Plus... I loaned the clutch bell and bearings to OB1, so the motors not in the car. But.... that RPM bumper is still in one piece!! Other than that, all is well!

:cry: :(

Daves car???? Looks just as bad as mine!

jerrit1 JAM's in Plymouth IN, runs carpet oval Saturday's at 7:00 p.m.(probably about 1 hr. 30 min. from you.) I know 3 from the Benton Harbor/St. Joseph area that run there regularly. Also, Lapaz IN runs carpet oval on Friday nights. They used to have a nice turnout of touring cars. I'm not sure about when they will start up this fall, but Plymouth starts Sept. 14th.

Well...

Just go back from the Chicago Hobby Show. It was overall pretty good, not much going on thow. Saw the new Futaba 3PK! Suhweeet radio. Also, Fioroni is coming out with all new option team parts for the Vision. I got to feel the prototype chassis...its the stiffest chassis i have ever felt, for real.

Harcore had nice goodies to give out and me and Wally tore up the Mini Z track and put the smack down on all the boyscouts! Anyone else go? What did u think? im going to bed. Cya.

You forgot the best part ASSOCIATED DEBUTED THE B4. :eek: :roll: :eek: :wave:

Well, let's all start getting ready for Janurary, we'll be having our leg of the CRL race on the 19th. Loads of fun to be had by all.... don't miss it!!

I'm just woundering. If your new to this hobby, how in the world would you know anything about racing at the roller rink?

Nope pinwheel ryders does not rent the building the Great Lakes Radio Controlled Racers rent the building headed up by our fearless leader The elder statesmen John (masters class) Warner. And while we are on the subject when will we be heading indoors john? Any info yet?:confused:

Im psychic!

Yes Im new (you couldnt tell?)

So I take it there is a race this Sat. out side?...With the Nitros?:thumbsup: :cool: :hat:

Well Knapster you wouldn't, I lived in GR for 20 years and never knew of this club until 2 days ago :-)
I moved to Benton Harbor a year ago and still have friends in GR, we want to race our touring cars (all newbies), I drove to GR this weekend with one friend looking for some action at the Riders parking lot, and at Woodland skating rink (across the street) on 28th st.
Nothing...I posted some request for info and even sent John Warner an email asking for some info....nothing....I guess the GR racing scene is just not very newbie friendly.
I have seen posts on here saying silly things like "The race is on Saturday at the normal time" HAHAHAHA ....ummm...hellooooo
If you arent already a vetran racer with the club then you have no idea where, when, how, or even car classes raced :-)
Thank you Wazzer for at least pointing me to some indiana tracks and clubs....of course my GR friends will not want to drive down here but close for me :rolleyes:
Does the GLRC club still exist? I tried www.grlc.com .org .net and even a www.rogers3.?somethin? address I found from a search on google...still nothing!!!!:mad:
I'm not mad, just a little frustrated that many of these clubs aren't a little more organized...heck, at an absolute minimum John Warner should have a club URL in his sig when he posts here with at least a little info on a freebie web page, something like "Newbies go away" HAHAHA I'm just kidding.
We ended up going to Portage to R&L Hobbies and ran our stadium trucks for a while on their indoor track. :D ...I was happy again!

1. We race every Saturaday starting at about 11:00 and ending at about 6:00 last weekend we also had a night race 8:00 to about midnight.

2. John is a little on the slow side. We try to be very frendly to new people.

3. Racing starts at about noon every weekend, we race electric touring cars with rubber tires, nitro cars with foam tires, and trucks with any tire.

4. Our web site seems to be down but was http://www.12thscale.com/GLR/core.htm but you can go here: http://home.attbi.com/~jglover37/new_page_1.htm for some pictures of last years indoor racing.

5. We are working on that.

6. Once again Johns alittle slow.

7. Sorry.
