missed a race and still got 4th :D o john switched name

Just wanted to say good job to all the GLRC racers in the MORL series I know all of us had problems at one time or another, but that last race, in the rain, we all kept running, and man what fun that was:D

Cant wait for indoor now that i have a 1/12 scale:eek: yes i have a 1/12 scale now. so keep the toes off the carpet or i might just put a new swoosh in them nikes of yours:devil:

which speed control should i choose for the asc. 1/12 scale?
i've been told to get the atom....... is it comparable w/ the c-2?
and how much are they normally?:confused:

also i have no clue how to set this thing up so any help here or at the track will be nice.......thanx

mr.clean

NP Tony, im sure we will figgure something out.

Get a LRP Quantum if you can.

The Atom has a higher onboard resistance. If you are going to go with Novak, go with a rendition of the Cyclone. Most 1/12ths are under weight anyways so the weight difference between the Atom and Cyclone is not a factor.

Exactly tony what rich said is right get a quantum. And finally someone was litening to me 12TH SCALE IS MANDATORY thank you for your compliance tony.

What happens to 1/12th scale when everyone stops showing up to run it? Will it still be mandatory? I know last year we were saying the same thing and kaput! Sorry to be so harsh, just a little p/o'd b/c the doctor peetered around for a week before telling me I had strep! So if anyone has been around me in the past week and starts to feel bad I'd go to the doctor asap. *%^$*%$ HMO's!!

Anyway, Hey John I was wondering if you had an airbrush and compressor?? I almost forgot we'll need one when we paint the truck. If not does anyone else have one I could borrow????

everybody had just better bring a 12th scale that is all.


because if they don't they will just have to watch me run mine.

Ken....

Don't worry, 1/12 scale will not fade away this year as it has in the past. My thought is that everybody should have one because their cheaper to buy in the first place, they only use four cells, their as fast or faster than most sedans, almost anybody can set one up, bodies are much cheaper AND you get to drive it for eight minutes instead of only five!

We just have to show the others that we won't allow that class to fail as it has in the past couple of years. Persistiance baby, that's the answer! (I think???)

Your right John the problem is that in the past everybody just kept having the attitiude that nobody is going to run it so why should I. Well this year like I said if we don't have a class I will run mine just to turn laps with it. WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO 12TH SCALE IS MANDATORY BABY AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BE STANDING ON THE TRACKS WHEN THIS FREIGHT TRAIN COMES STORMING THROUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! :eek:

I'll be there to run with you - as the new owner of a rules-mandated Carpet Knife!!!

Denney

Thank you denny your compliance is greatly appreciated and duley noted.

Denny did you get a new one or used? Is it the Bloody one?

Got it used (barely used!) from the same guy I bought my Losi from. It's a std version & came with a bunch of spares, new body, & 6 sets of tires (4 new), all for $100.

Does anyone know if there is someone locally that can rematch batteries? I wanted to convert 2 6-cell packs to 4-cell.

Thanks, Denney

Good deal Denny. Try John I think he knows someone.

What do you consider local? :-) If Sterling Heights area is local enough, Big John Zubak will zap and match batteries for a small fee. You can find contact info for him at www.speedjuice.com.

John, my Kawada one way DOES use two bearings.

Would you like to buy a Kawada... cheap?

No thanks. I got million of them. I have like 5 wide chassis and one narrow chassis and enouhg side plates for 4 or five cars. I heard a rumor that RC imports will be importing them now. So maybe i can get an alcyone 2!

Anybody else I've missed??

I gotta admit, I'm starting to think that everyone really is serious about 1/12th scale. Guess I gotta build that car sooner than I thought....:D

Yeah bill you better get wrenching..

Yes Mr. DaRoot'e'yeah, it will become reality this season!

Questions...

When was the last time you broke something on a 1/12 scale car?? And then it was what... a lower arm, or maybe a body post?? When was the last time you had to run out and buy the latest tire of the week to be competitive with your 1/12th scale???.... Never! Grey rears & purple fronts is all you'll ever need!! And 8 minutes run time, yippee!!!

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got the 1/12 up and running baby, Sweet.
