i thought this was a rc car forum not the american idol 3 tryouts board.

Oh, my mistake! But, it goes hand in hand at some points during the racing night.

What a great bunch of racers to compete with again. Racing was good last night as usual, however the choice of a new body paint job, subdued, mesmerized, and in some cases sickened the crowd for a moment until he recieved his "rub the new body" on the track from fellow competitors. The Pro-Z technical wizard was on hand to help tune his chassis during the evening, and gather ideas for futher chassis changes. See everyone on Sat

Anchor
ps. Nice to see you again Dacingd, next time bring a car to race.

I also wanted to say hi to Dan who stopped by last night. Dan, when are you going to buy your Mini or Micro?????

Jim

I guess you all can get a laugh on the new guy to the sight. But hey i have to have my beer night once a week. Besides Mike can use a night of not getting flipped once or twice. And it might be nice for Bill to get a win!!!!! See you all hopefully Sat.

It's really a fun crowd, but I have to get my laughs in now before I put my car on the track, since the laughs turns my way :eek:

Coro

Coro, are you going to be there on Sat?


Jim

The Anchor...gone to the Mini's...YIKES!!!!

That's it. We should all go bowling with Dean SR.
As he tosses the ball down the lane we could all try
and hack it.

Darkside, Yes Anchor has really joined the darkside
now. He has found out how much fun mini zs and micros
are. If you can ever manage to make it to the shop
we have one for you to race. Maybe we can convert
you too.

Hey, all.

Just wanted to say hi from sunny Orlando. And, I got myself an early Christmas present due to my R/C withdrawel: I got the last Mini-T at a shop here. That thing is pretty quick for four AA cells.

Big Johnson,

Bill

Jim and I have been looking around for 2-56 rod. Wasnt sure if in your travels you pass any other places that may have some. I found some ball ends but no rods. Thanks for any help.

See you all thursday.
So is this new car going to be a contender and do I need one?

Mike :dude:

Bill, e-mail me info@darksidems.com

Just received a telephone call from Horizon Hobbies telling me that they will not deal with TC's Hobbies because I live in the same building as is my hobby shop. According to them I am taking unfair advantage of other hobby places in the area.

I explained to the representative from Horrizon Hobbies that it is the opposite. I am paying for the expense to build and maintain an indoor and an outdoor track for my racers, which others have tried and quit because tracks cost too much money to build and take too much time to keep up in maintenance and cleaning. I explained that I charge the least amount of fees for racing in the country $5 dollars for as many cars as you wish to race versus others charge $10 for the first car and $5 for each additional car. I believe that I am doing my best to help promote RC racing and help the manufacturing and racing people.

I explained that this decision was not only unfair to me but also to my racers. I told them that my racers wanted to purchase the Losi MiniT (which only they distribute) and have me stock replacement parts and hop up parts. Horrizon Hobbies believes that the NH drivers can drive 40 or 50 miles to Hobby Town or Hobbies Etc. to get their cars and parts.

Unless this decision is changed (which only the racers can do) then we wont be racing MiniT's.

If anyone cares to help me in this please email: cjones@horizonhobby.com


Thanks for listening

Bill Sr.
:mad:

Sr

Just read your post. What a crock of $hit. I did use your link and sent a e-mail to them. I explained how supportive the shop is and how many ov us are loyal to the shop for our parts and things. Hope it helped.

Tc's always comes through for us so lets try to over load that mail box :devil:

Mike :dude:

Sr

Sent that e-mail but it was returned.

can you send me the email address to (wer4car24@msn.com)

Thanks Mike

I also sent one and it got kicked back...

I'll get dad to post the write address when he gets home.

Any word on bish and being a father?

I was told that was the email of the bug boss.

Use the following ones - send to both names

cgaskin@horizonhobby.com
lmarcus@horizonhobby.com

Thanks guys

Lets drown them with mail

Bill Sr

Congrats to the new DAD.

Congratulations to you and the Mother. I have a great grand daughter named "Ashley Star".

Now get back to racing.

By the way guys the big boss in sales who turned me down along with his committee is: cajones@horizonhobby.com email him and his two other committee members.

He also has a phone number 1-800-535-5551 name Chris Jones.
Others names at same phone number are Craig Gaskin and Lee Marcus.

Thanks

:thumbsup:

This was the e-mail I sent them:

To whom it may concern;
It has come to be my understanding that you have chosen not to allow TC's Hobbies of Lee, NH, to become one of your dealers. With all due respect, I think this is an issue that could be re-addressed. There are already precious few hobby stores in New Hampshire, and many of those are at least a solid forty-five minute drive for most of us on the Seacoast (with your Hampton Falls dealer excluded, of course, though they don't appear to be a pure RC shop). And nobody will go into Maine or Mass., because none of us want to pay sales tax.
A few years back I got a Kyosho nitro buggy for Christmas. Because of a radio problem, my car was nearly uncontrollable so I haven't used much. This summer, I fixed the computer for a relative and saw they had a pair of electric monster trucks they raced around. The next Tuesday, I went to TC's for the first time. I have been back at least once a week to visit or race since the beginning of July. The shop and people are wonderful, and are a credit to the hobby.
While vacationing in Florida for Thanksgiving, I got the last Mini-T at a shop with the hopes that more people at TC's would be getting some to race around with. If TC's is unable to sell them, the odds of us being able to race around suddenly become very slim.
I am asking you please look again into letting TC's join your distributor network, even on some kind of trial or temporary basis. The interest in the Mini-T seems to run very high, and you would be guaranteed to sell more than just a few at this shop alone. Then there'd be the parts, hop-ups, and marketing.

Thank you very much for listening to my thoughts. I'd be happy to speak with someone in person on this issue, because I think both TC's and Horizon could both benefit greatly from a relationship.

Shawn Smith

Also, Bill Sr, you said they said you'd be taking advantage of the other hobby shops in the area (guess they don't know what the property taxes are like around here, do they?). The closest one, according to their web page, is in Hampton Falls, and that shop doesn't even appear to be a pure RC shop. Otherwise, everything is near the Mass border. Who the heck wants to travel down there? :devil:

Bish :thumbsup:
Dad and JR
Sent the boys at Horizon an email but Corperate Boys most likely don`t read email from common people and don`t like the small bussiness.To bad but I guess I don`t need a Mini T that bad or anything else they sell.Maybe you can get a deal with someone else who likes the little guys that promoted the hobby as well as you guys do, Does World Champ mean anything,or 12th scale star or 20+years in the hobby and you guys know more people in the hobby than them! Well in the Northeast anyway. If things do work out I`ll take one.

thanks coro.


Hey guys the xrays are in and they look super cool.
I'm going to build mine tonight but i have not electronics
for it just yet.

I'll have it tomorrow at the track but hope for no snow.

Little guys have a tough time now!!! Trust me I know.
Hope you get it sorted out.

Let It snow!!! :devil:

Bill So what do you think are we racing in the snow. Wasnt sure and if we are and others read this post if you are going then we know how many crazy racers are out there. If racing is on we will be there.

Mike :jest:

24lover.......so far so good. Looks ok this morning so racing is on
for people that would like to come down.


Bud.....I hope we get it sorted out too. thanks

Yes the Xrays have arrived and there are only four left. I think Dean Sr. and Coro each want one. Jimmy do want me to reserve one for you, and is there anyone else who wants one of the remaining two?

Bill Jr had his on the track for a short run and even with a lousy glitchy receiver everyone who saw the demo was impressed.

Now we have three kinds of 18th scale cars. The HPI and Xray four wheel drive cars and Buds "Bullet" 2 wheel drive. I believe that we can become the "King of the 18th Wheelers". This size car seems to be really becoming the buzz of the electric RC world. If we can get the off road Mini-T we would really be all set. But I will need my racers and anyone else who cares to help us by proding Horizon Hobby into being able to deal with them. Any one out there know Gil Losi? Horrizon Hobby ownes their company. Bud do have his email address?

We are being told of a new location in Georgetown, Mass where they are converting a bowling alley into a indoor race track. Last Thursday and Saturday one of their racers has been into our shop to buy parts and have Bill Jr. work on his car. They race on Sundays from 12 noon to about 5 in the afternoon. Anyone interested in taking a ride in a few weeks.

Keep your tires gooped and turn both directions.

The Bullet
:dude:

Hi Silverbullet,

Thanks for asking about the X-ray, but at this time I won't be able to get one. However, soon as I am able, I will let you know. 18th scale snowmobiles would be a good pick for today. This is all the 24 fan's fault for asking to dump this snow on us, I just hope he is happy now! :mad: :mad:

Now its time to get back to homework and then some shoveling.
"I'll Be Baaaaack"

Jim :wave:

Not sure if i can post this here or not but here goes. (i understand if it gets deleted or moved)
I have a HPI micro Porshe kit for sale with lots of extras, never raced just played at home in basement. just about RTR minus crystals and radio. $125.00 e-mail for more info, RCRacer00@aol.com

Well you all must be pissed at me now.
To Coro Im sorry im sure it was a long weekend.Just think the extra money will go good for the new xray. Jr ran his saterday looked really good.well all enjoy the snow and see you all thursday.

Im up for some racing on sunday anyone else? :thumbsup:


mike :devil: :jest:

The track 1/10 or mirco?????

The indoor track is 1/18th and 1/28th, while the outdoor track does the same plus 1/10th oval.

Bill or Sr I still want the x-ray. Save one for me. I wish i could of seen it. I will not be there thursday as i have my wifes x-mas party in manchester. I will hopefully be there Saturday. Have fun Thursday all!!!!! Dean Hammer Time!!!!!!!

I think it's time to get me a charger since I think I'm going to get some batt packs for a little office space enjoyment. Anyone have any suggestions for one that offers some good bang for the buck?

Hey Bill Jr.

After reserving Dean Sr and Larry an Xray I'm down to one car left. If Mike wants that one or wants to reserve it we are out. I have been paid for the one you told me about last night so that one is gone.

Looks like we need some more ordered. Also see if they have any replacement or hop up parts yet.

I am going to call Horrizon Hobby and try to talk to Craig Jones but before I do can anyone who emailed them for me let me know so I will have a better feel for my position with them..

Thanks Guys,

Bill Sr.

I e-mailed them for ya.

I sent one also. Good Luck!!!!!

BjJonson79,you have mail...

Thanks guys, I'll call him tomorrow.

Bullet :cool:

Dean Sr
I`m glad to hear brag about Team Hammer,your the man. We`ll let them work out the bugs in the X-Ray for us, because they can`t help themselfs but to brag about what they do for speed. So they sold them all. We`ll have ours soon enough. No Whining!
