I am so ready for offroad. Chris it might be you moving out of the way lol. I just can't wait to run something other then a blue tire. I can't even remember what traction feels like. Hey chris got that xxx4 ready for this summer. I know there is a few that want to run them. Andy wants one I think I should have one by June.

Is this the race track in Fayettville, NC. If so I'm thinking of starting to race there this summer. I live in Goldsboro and the track here is going to carpet, but I still want to race offroad. Any tips for this track? Thanks for your help.

That big of a pinion? I ran a 20T pinion with my 88T spur with a P2K and the motor got super hot, wouldn't gearing up like that make it hotter?

number_0
04-23-2003, 02:22 PM
yeah but at what track rosewood? you need alot different gear there than at sandhills and yes the motor does get hot but it doesnt get hot enough to hurt performance

The new track layout and lights are under construction as I'am typing this. A few more turns and jumps as well as a new track surface. A sand clay mix on the top. Drivers get out your step-pins.

Don't worry Chris he might be at the track but it's not like he is going to do anything. I think he is scared, he did get beat at the open by his little brother you know. That might have permently scared him.

I got a 10X10 quickshade for this summer. I don't think Pual is going to race so at least we will still have a canopy. All of us but Medler.LOL

Is there a full up parts store and everything at this track, so when I break something I won't have to stop racing? Thanks for the invite guys I really appreciate it. I probably won't be there this Saturday but the next you can count on it. Its about an hour and a half drive from where I'm from and the wife won't let me go every weekend so I'm planning on going when they have the race's. Thanks again guys.

The track was OK Sunday when we ran on it a little. The lights are finished and the track is still under construction, a few changes have been made after Sundays run. I ran a 19 tooth pinion and the stock spur gear and was very fast (Losi XXXT-MF). It should be a fun year at BIG PERM.

04-29-2003, 03:27 PM
Is there any place to get tires and motors and that kind of thing down there, like any other hobbyshops or anything. There are some things that I will need to buy before I can get down there on Sat. Thanks for the help guys. Later.

Talk to number_0, he runs a hobby shop in Fayetteville, NC. Hayes Hobby House is an other shop in Fayettville. Big Perm is located at sandhills raceway, its a carpet oval track, the hobby shop there has, batteries, shock oil, motors, but no offroad stuff like tires rims and a-arm.

04-29-2003, 04:22 PM
jesler what kind of tires do you need let me know and i will bring them saturday i think step pins and 8 ribbed fronts are going to be the best atleast at first i will bring tires with me anyway some pre mounted rears too

jesler1
04-29-2003, 07:46 PM
Yeah number_0 that would be great if you could bring me a sets of those step pins mounted on losi rims, if you could bring me a motor also, maybe a p2k or something. Let me know how much it will be and I'll pay you down there. Hey guys I really appreciate the help, its cool that you guys are helping me and you've never even met me, thanks.

Joe
