can you say new tranny, and white ball cups & yokes. AHHHHHH SHWEEEETTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! This truck is dialed!!!!!!!!!

We will have the new headlights and grilles(they come together)for the MF2 at the track this weekend! they are cool

austin/John I need a Red and Chrome grill for the new truck I will have this one painted soon maybe saturday.

we only have one truck left of the 4 that Nick's got they are going fast

how's the turn out now. is there a bigger show since the d.o. was dismissed?

Yes there was a bigger turnout last week. Almost double the entries from previous weeks. This week looks even bigger. Rumor has it that some guys might come up from Indy also.

Karl

The racing last week was pretty close. We had three solid heats of stock truck. One heat of stock buggy, but that will probably grow. I also know that there has been some discussion on running nineteen turn. I would run it, but I would rather see stock grow first before we break off and run another class.

Karl

Ya last week we had some 20 racers show up and race. This week offers to be even bigger. I cant wait and see what those new MF2 trucks can do in the hands of our local drivers. Lets see some more 2wd stock buggy's out there. The overal day went extremly well, I think we finished around 5-5:30pm, and then they let those that wanted to stay and practice for a while do so.

how's the turn out now. is there a bigger show since the d.o. was dismissed?Dirt Oval? there was a dirt oval here? get out of here. Well it is dirt and some guys are running circle around me, Redbarron, Otto, Cory, Nathan, all he!! every body runs circles around me.:)

Redbaron,
Don't get the XX4 all set up just on my account this weekend. There's a good chance I won't make it Saturday. About 70/30 against right now. If I do make it, I'll roll in late and miss the first qualifier.

I was snooping around the internet the other day, and found a company making a conversion chassis for the XX4. It uses the XX4 front and rear suspension, diffs and steering, with their chassis, and makes it a single belt drivetrain. Not that I would rush out and buy that... just interesting.

Stopped by the track this afternoon,and with all the rain the track is very,very smooth.All the water was gone,except a couple small puddles.With nomore rain the track will be awesome tomarrow.

Scott,
I'm aware of the x5 conversion and have one on order. Kinda cool xx4 suspension and xxx4 driveline. should be the best of both worlds. I know the Sinclars, The owners and I ordered one to help support there new company.
I will be at the track rain or shine sat 9am.

Thanks to the racers that came out today despite the amount of rain that fell in Ft. Wayne on Friday night. The guys that came out worked on the track and got the show started a couple hours late, but started none the less. With flood warnings out in the area, it's a real credit to all that worked on the track that we were able to run at all today. Good racing and a good time. And we didn't have to water the track all day!

Wow, you guys raced!!!! That track must have some hella good drainage. I would have been there if I had thought there was a remote chance it would go on.
Well, hopefully next week.

hey john got 5th in the a-main. not too bad for not racing o.r. for 9 months. i really like that t-4. i just didn't have any turn in? robbins laid the smack down with the new mf2. he was on track record pace all night. i should have gotten third. i have to come up there this summer. whole shots right? :cool:

Don't feel bad Corey,I did not take my cars with me when I stopped by the track yesterday.I did not think there was any possible way we could race.I won't do that again.So from now on if it's not raining on saturday no matter how much we got the night before we will probably be racing.

Cory R.

After everybody worked on the track to get it ready to run on. It was hooked up. The traction was as good as its ever been. The racing was great, we had Mike Bates from Indy come up and give it a go , he wheeled his 3x around the track. Hopefully next week there will be no rain on Fri. or Sat. and we'll have more people come out. If you have'nt been to Summit yet you need to get out there and race.

So far weather looks good for this Saturday. Has anyone heard if Nick's got any big shots in yet?

Just talked with Karen, The Losi parts, are on a slow boat from China literally. The tires are made in China. They ordered them as soon as they where out of stock on them and they've been on back order ever since. The stuff should be here next week, thats the best Horizon could give them. I hope that this info. helps, if your in need of tires please give your local track hobby shop another week.

Nice Paul, bring that T4 up here.

as soon as i get the extra money.

anyone got their MF2 ready to race this Saturday?
I heard from Nathan the other day. He is having a good time in Japan, so he won't be racing this week. Who else is gonna race tomarrow?

I don't think I'll be out to race. I have an out-of-town appointment at 6:00 PM, so I'd have to cut the day short anyway. I know there are a couple of MF2 trucks ready to hit the track, so you shouldn't be the only one, John.

well I am ready but I do not have a body done yet so I will just come for moral support saturday. some of you guys need moral support haha

I will be there between 9 and 10. I will have to use your body agian if thats ok. Karl did not get mine done this week.

Had another great week of racing at Summit. Looks like Austin's win streak came to an end this weekend.....Ouch!

Chris, Did Karl get that paint job done yet?

well maybe he will work on his stuff at home rather than wait until he gets to the track. This may make him harder to beat next week.

what did you think of the new truck?

Chris, Did Karl get that paint job done yet?

Last I saw it was still in the plastic bag. I don't think it's vary high on his list of things to do. He has had it for five weeks. :confused:

Chris, Did Karl get that paint job done yet?

I did ask him to try and do it fast so I could get yours back to you.

Chris, I'm not in a hurry. Just trying to get Karl to get it done.

chris, I dont do real detailed jobs but if karl is pretty busy and cant get to it let me know I'll do it for you.

harry

John good luck. Harrry If its still not done by Saturday I will get with you. :thumbsup:

no prob. I will be up for sure saturday

Chris, five weeks brother. You gave me the body on June 12th. Saturday would make it two weeks. I was pretty sick last week, and am still getting over the flu, but I did get it taped up. It needs to be sprayed but I work tomorrow, so I won't get it painted until Saturday. I'll be in first thing in the morning on Sat to paint it, and with fast color and heat, it could be run.

Karl

What is the tire of choice for truck?

Karl

Just messing with you. I know you were sick last week. It's all good.
You charge a fair price even if it takes sometime to get stuff back. I understand you have a real job now and don't have as much free time. Your still the man. :thumbsup:

Chris

What is the tire of choice for truck?
IFMAR Pin or Holeshots rear

Directional fronts

either red or M3 compound.

Are you comin to the Fort XXX-Fan? See you all saturday!!!!!!!

There is some talk of some track work this week. Anyone want to meet during the week to do a few things?

Had a great time today! We had our best turn-out yet.

I want to thank all the racers who helped with the track prep today.

Good Job!

I am going to try it make it this Saturday. Don't know yet. I don't know if I will have new truck put together. I got new MF2. Well, do not have it yet, will be here Wednesday. Anyone know if out of box setup is any good? What are the new rear tires good for? As far as type of track they work on? I still have my T4 but, I am trying to sell it and want to keep it clean for awhile incase some one says they want it. I will just have to see what happens. But, I really want to come over to race with you guys. If a guy with a red beater S-10 shows up, you know I am there. That is my work truck and my going to races truck. Wife gets the new car. Plus we are in process of buying a new house so I have to keep her happy so I get my new big garage and shop.



Thanks,
Randy

xxx-fan, have not ran the kit tires yet. The new tires look like they should work well when the track is damp.
box set-up is great!
Don't forget if your T4 rear tires will fit on the losi MF2 also.
See ya at the track!

There is some talk of some track work this week. Anyone want to meet during the week to do a few things?

Do you have a day and time in mind? What kind of work needs done? Let me know so I can try to make it out to help.

Chris,
I was thinkin about re-working some of the jumps ( Triples ).
maybe Thursday or Friday, If we can get people.

John,
I think friday would work for me,i might be done with my side job by then.

I think I will run with you gentelmen(I use that term loosely) Saturday, but can I run Novice cause I just got this truck and it's been so long since I drove one if it's ok can we run a Novice Mod Truck class or maybe old guy Mod :p

redbaron,

So the T4 wheels fit on the Losi? Front and rear? I read what Losi said about the new rears and it sounds like they should work on dry&dusty, and damp&loamy. I will mount them up either way and try them. All my other tires are Panther.

John,
Let me know when things are set and I will do my best to get out there and help.

Sounds like Friday will be track Fix Day. How does 6pm sound?

Tafog... Bust that truck out!

John,

I can be there on thursday with a skid loader so we can put some doubles at the end of the half oval... and also to do any other changes we want.
