I will be there. Im the kid asking all the questions:wave:

No need to be sorry...thanks for the info Nitrorod.
I see our problem, you were there on Sat, we were there on Sun, I saw a post saying simply "We are racing on Sunday", that could have been any club I guess.
We'll be there this Sat if the wives allow it. :rolleyes:

Hope that web site gets fixed, it should be your most valuable asset to avoid frustrated newbies...it just needs to be posted here often. ;)

That was Hardly the best part for me. I didnt even get to play with it. I heard one of the AE guys saying that it was so fragile the way it was produced for the show, that if he drop it from knee level, it would shatter. Some kind of computer lazer cut plastic.

How loud will the CHATTER be.

Thanx J-rock!:thumbsup:

Thats allright steven you are a truck offroad only running offroad about 3 times a year guy. Me on the other hand I am all about off road in the dirt buggies. So I will just sit and wait impatiently for my production version b4.:D

so very right. Just as u wouldnt be so interested in that spiffy new Serpent 950...*drools*

They had videos going of those things at a race, and word i want one. to bad we dont have anywhere to run them.

I guess im "forced" to run mod at cleveland unless john hears back otherwise. Anyone want to donate batteries?:wave:

I have been enjoying a little nitro off road though. I like all r/c cars stevie boy. I just love the competition of racing thats why I race. And it's like you said they don't race those around here.

Nice location ken! mine should be behind Mike. Im gunna get u Mr. Fast!

yeah i wanted to see if the elder statesmen is paying attention and let him know that i am thinking about grinding him into the carpet. ha ha ha :eek:


catching mikey might be a tough task but keep trying.

ok, but u have to vacume!

You know something Ken, Your 100% correct with your statement. And the reason I can agree with you is because you'll be in front of me, trying your best to keep me from putting you ANOTHER lap down!!!!!!!!!!!

ha ha ha I will keep that in mind. On another note do u have your 12th scale car ready yet steven? because you know12th scale is mandatory. :D :rolleyes: :eek: :thumbsup:

i have an 12L3 thats sitting here with a servo in it. But i need to get speedos and receivers.

I knew you would be chiming in eventually old fella. I guess you have a short memory. yeah I know you finished ahead of me the last time we butted heads. but lets be honest I gave it to you a little more than you earned it, and thats when I really hav'nt been serious about that touring car stuff yet. I was just taking a break from the buggy for a day. WHAT R U GONNA DO WHEN i GET SERIOUS? hmmmmmmmm. I think it will be you going a lap or two down to me johnny boy.

:p

yeah i do like the looks of there new space aged graphite. But the problem with their touring car is that it is pretty fragile and sometimes there are parts in the united states for it and sometimes there is not. And I hav'nt heard anything about them importing the 12th scale car but it is cool. And Johnny masters you will have to catch me before you can put me in the boards and I don't think you can catch me. Now I know what you are thinking. "I will just get him when he comes up to lap me" that won't work either I have too many moves and am just too quick on the wheel to get caught by somebody who is one foot in the masters class and one foot in the grave so you better think of something else there old fella.:eek: :devil: :lol:

misaimi won with it, but he can win with anything.

JOHN! when are we going indoors?

And did you guys start your football season yet. We started last saturday. We won 12-0. How does your team look?

for real, how much longer can i saver my nitro perfection?

Steven You should do some nitro stadium truck on dirt.

ide love to but i need to concetrate on this onraod hooey. next year i want to run eight scale!:thumbsup:

GS Storm full Fioroni option team car would be my ride.

ahhhh yes I see gotta keep those sponsors happy. I understand that.

i got to see that car at the show too. SO so so nice. That Fioroni option team makes nice stuff. I gotta work on getting a shirt now...

I would think if you were sponsored by them they would want to hook you up with a few shirts and hats and a banner so you could represent. tell them to get on the ball. Where did john go? did he fall asleep at the keyboard again? I guess when u get to be that age it is to be expected.

i got a sweet banner from GS but they dont have shirts yet. They will be working on them now that they are done with chicago. That took alot of work to put it all together so now they have time to get on stuff like that. But, they were all wearing very nice Fioroni option team shirts. I gotta have one.:roll:

INDOOR CHAMPS 2002
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SIGN AND GET MOTORS ON THUR.

SPONSER DRIVERS ARE THOSE WHO DRIVE FOR A MANUFACTOR


Copied from the TTT site. So, Steven, you can still run stock!

Isn't GS a manufactor?

YES THAT IS CORRECT <----<<< (Mr. Bill's response)

Can you define "Sponsored Drivers Must Run Mod"?? I'm assumming your
talking about someone with a full ride, NOT somebody with a 50% discount deal with a supplier. Am I correct???
Thanks,

Peter G. came up with his idea of what to call
our last race of the season, and it's fitting! Read on.....


Cracker Hack 500!! See what I mean???

allrighty then.

good name!

What is the racing schedule for the remainder of the outdoor season? Are we racing through Sept 28, Oct 5?? Big season-ending finale with car giveaways, big cash prizes, etc...?????

Denney

Yeah jonhy boy? Also, if i dont get a C-Clip Spreader this week, i might ask u to bring urs. I will let u know thow. Cya!

My Friend and I have some more questions.

How long will a gas tank run before refuling?

How big are the tanks (In Oz.)

How does the Nitro Engine Work, as far as spark is concerned? does it have a spark plug? Is that the Glow plug thing? do you have to charge the glow plug? Does it stay along for the ride? how long does it last?


If I were in your shoes and I knew this stuff I would help some new guys out:thumbsup:

Ok, A tank of fuel will get u about 5-10 min. all depending on how u have have ur engine tuned. 5 min. is still kinda rich, 10 min. is way lean. I get about 7 min.

How big are tanks? Im not sure.

These engines run off of a glow plug. It is heated with whats called a "glow igniter". What the does is it heats the glow plug up when ur starting ur engine and once it fires u remove it and the engine will continue to heat the plug.

Any other questions?

I have a question.Indoor,what classes do you guy run ?I have a TC3 and I could get a micro but I wont get on if there is no class for them.I also have a T3 but I am not sure if I am going to run it indoors.Do you all have a idea when indoor is going to start?

we run touring car, mod and stock, 12th scale, Stadium for trucks and buggies, oval and maybe a micro class depending on how many we get.

Well I will get it.So no offical work on when it will start?

im not sure. John?

i know we are searching for buildings and such. All that has to be done before we can make plans for an indoor track.

Yes john?Any words of wisdom?

haha, passed yah J-rock

Hiya john, i see ur up.

OK so I have this Glow plug in the Engine. I take the Glow igniter and heat it up realy hot. Then that will ignite the fuel. (Its like a deasle powered 1:1 engine.)

Now after the glow igniter is heated up how do I start 'er up? (This would be so much easier if I had a car to look at...show me on Sat.)

On a pull start I Pull the cord. (Like a lawn mower) What about on Non Pull start engines? Do you use a starter box to turn the flywheel? How does that work?


Every one and his uncle runs RS4s I know! (nothing wrong with that.) And Steven Likes the GS Vision (which I still cannot find in an On-line store yet)

Any other cars I should be considering? What about the Ofna OB4? I like this one.

(I would like something that ryders carries lots of parts for. so I can get parts easy)
