Racing

Hey,Little T,
Anywhere I can down load and print a gear chart in mm's?

RAYCER actually works?

Heres a Spreadsheet in mm as per your request:

http://www.gpmodels.co.za/club/documents/rollout.xls

(just change the tire size cells to your liking and print)

Heres some more that may help others:

Rollout charts from Mike Lufaso's Website

96 tooth spur -> http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/~mlufaso/rc/setup/12l3/96rollout.pdf

98 tooth spur -> http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/~mlufaso/rc/setup/12l3/98rollout.pdf

100 tooth spur-> http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/~mlufaso/rc/setup/12l3/100rollout.pdf

104 tooth spur-> http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/~mlufaso/rc/setup/12l3/104rollout.pdf

Heres one I found on google with the query "rollout chart":

http://www.coyotehobbies.com/1.12.rollout.pdf

And as for conversions:

Rollout = (Pinion Size)*(3.14159)*(Tire Diameter)/(Spur Size)

1 in = 25.4mm. Conversely,
1 mm = .0394 in.

(rounded to 3 significant figures)

These were created with 12th scale in mind (thats all that matters).

However you may find them useful for any pancar.

Little T

***Sidenote for Ray: These charts are most effective at ambient temperature.

Oh Ray, check out my newest Sponsor!

Thanks "T".See ya Sat.
Ya,RaycerD works,he actually gets a little dirty!
A little advise RayRay,STAY OFF THE SNAP-ON TRUCK!!!!

Hey "T" , I LOVE ambient cells!! They are so, ..so, average!! LOL I have a "new" layout set for this Saturday, and you might like it. It's good for a 1/12th scale, just NOT MOD!
Yes, Raycer works, and no, the Snap-On truck won't let him inside anyway... :lol: Also, he is closer to being named Ray Presto, than Ray Hodge, but we'll see........
Steve, I did have this great post a day ago, but pressed the WRONG KEY, and deleted every word of that sucker :confused: Basically, I said that practice and consistency win races, and people should focus on those things first. I do like the brushless idea, but the buy-in requires BOTH a new ESC, and the accompanying motor, which are not cheap. We'll have to see how a brushless race plays-out in January at the Novak race in Wisconsin. That will be the first race containing a class for just them. Until Saturday, John @ RJ :wave:

Since Mr. Zippy now runs for the good guys, does that mean more XXX-S parts in the hobby shop? After I hit the obstical(s) in the middle of the staight and break I will need to fix my ride. :drunk:

Steve and John,
I don't think anyone would have a problem with anyone running a brushless set up as long as it's not an obvious advantage.I know that I would encourage it just to see how they do with aggressive racing conditions.
But that's not my decision.

Oh Ray, check out my newest Sponsor!

Oh littleT!
Is that the same chassis that you bounced all over that straight away with in NC? I'll bet the bottom is carpet smooth.
Have you talked to Mucho Madness lately?
I should see him tonight at Ron Micks x-mas party.

Hope to race with you soon.
Tracy :cool:

Tracy, I changed to a different chassis for good (carpet) luck, the other one just wasn't doing it for me....

Last time I talked to Mucho was at the Champs.

Have fun at the party,

LittleT

Hey, how did the racing turn out this weekend? Hope the snow did not keep too many away.

All you need to know from me mike is that i had misfortunate glitching problems that caused me to break in both qualifiers...im sure john will fill us in on the other stuff...
Dan

What ever you say "D-Main" Dan :devil:

The "Old Pro" laid it down in 12th scale, I had enough rip to pull a power move on him to pass on the outside of a turn in the beginning....but that soon was useless as I began to drive like a woodchucking mixer....

What is a "Woodchucking mixer" :D

Gotta love those midwest terms....

"D"-main Dan yuk yuk yuk.
Did you win that race?
I'm probably going to sell my Bloody knife with a crap load of extras(tires,parts, screws,bodies,etc.) look me up at the track or e-mail me if interested. dburns@telerama.com
It's a nice car,I'd like to see one of our racers get it rather than ebay or something.
I broke a shock shaft on my Losi!I've never broken a shock shaft,Even in off road!Thats wierd.I think I'll try the Associated shafts(advise from "T")
It looked pretty good before that happened(finally)!
I kinda like getting done early,but I'd rather see more racers,where is everyone?
It was good to see Rico Thomas there and watch the master lay the smack down,thanks for coming Mike.And I would like to thank Mike and Ben for their tuning advise,it really paid off. :)
I might be there Sat. but I'm getting busy with the holidays approaching,I won't know for sure until closer to the weekend.
Hope to see ya'll soon.

Is that a "social" for little boy & girl woodchucks? How about something like the old Bass-a-matic from Saturday Night Live? :jest:
Mike, really, Dan DID HAVE glitch problems, and they were solved for the Mains. Unfortunately, he has overspent on "glitz", which is now Americanized in the word GLITCH!! That would mean that "Glitcher" /Glitzer spends WAY TOO MUCH on R/C?!?!?!?!?!?!
I too, would (obviously) like to have more racers attending, but am clueless as to why we have alot less racing than last year. Since this is the only place to race for a few more weeks, then we SHOULD be having a record-setting attendance. Maybe in a couple of months.........John @ RJ :wave:

John,

Nothing would please me more than to come run there-but to be honest-I and most of our hardcore racers are being worked like dogs three days a week so Saturday becomes "to do list" day if you catch my drift!!!
I dont think we even sent more than one guy to the CRL Race in Toledo!!! Thats pretty bad.

Will you be open the 28th?

Ray

Sorry I haven't been able to get over your way, but I've been sick w/ some kinda flu-like crap since about 2 days after the champs.

I saw the earlier posts. Has Michael "The Golden One" Thomas found a resurgence and come back out to play? Can this be true?

Anyhoo- who wants to play with 1/12th scales this weekend? Any takers- Guapo, Dana, Rich, Zippy, Dan, Mr. Thomas?

BTW- I think a "Woodchucking Mixer" is an alcoholic drink commonly consumed by Italian-American fellows with big nappy fro-like haircuts.
Kinda like Guapo. Anyway, that's what I heard. :D

Later fellas-
Mucho
:thumbsup:

Ray & Jason, thanks for the posts. I was just chatting out loud to see if anything would put their .02 in. Jason, I hope you are feeling better, and Ray, thanks, but I know it takes alot to watch/raise a baby and try to set-up an R/C track too.(I only know about the track thing first-hand though...)
Of course, we will be open the 28th and the 4th/04; the 11th/04;the 18th/04, etc. Nothing changes, except we all get a little older each and every week :lol:
We are thinking about having a BIG RACE sometime in January. Does anyone have a date that they would prefer? Let me know. John@ RJ :wave:

A date which allows me to run (unnecessarily loud, inflected, and unclear voice) MOD 12th.

Well,let's see,Jan 1st-no,can't do that one.
Uh,Jan 7th-no,can't do that one.(serbian Christmas).
Uh,Jan 2nd-no,can't do that one-might be going to Maryland to play in the dirt.
Uh Jan 3rd-no can't do that one-how ever I did get out of working that day but I'll be cleaning all the dirt out of my M8.
Any other days are good for me.
Any big races coming up we could have a "warm-up" for?

you know me im always up for racing, maybe not the 10th b/c of the novak race, i may actully go to that...

Hey, I hear "Alen" cleaned house last week with finally making his "57" laps! He said he really kicked butt... Tell me this is not so!~ :hat: I know he is venturing south for the remaining 2 off road races to try to snag a trophy! Yikes! Are there any trophy or award races at the Beav?
I am looking forward to running with the Beav in the near future... I will be racing on Sat... but now I need to build a Pan car so I can join the "left turn only" club! have fun! :roll:

Yes, Mike,(Allen-57 laps) but that was on OVAL, and not roadcourse. He stopped roadcourse last season, when,...............fill in the blank :drunk: . We are planning on having one of our FAMOUS "Big RACES" in the month of January, but the date has not been finalized. We would LOVE to have you run on Saturdays with the guys, and (for sure) want you to race on Sunday with your buddy Allen. I will make sure that you both are in the same qualifier, to insure at least 2 races together! :jest: Don't forget that NEW LOSI Sedan when you come back on Saturday morning from MD!! John @ RJ :wave:

Looking forward to some Saturday Races... although I have a class starting up in Feb for a few months. :mad: However, I will have to figure out what good Pan car to run for Sundays. I would be willing to "bet" that I beat Allen the 1st time out ever. haha... I don't mean to pick on him... he is a fun guy... but it is hard to resist as he puts a show on by himself. lol :jest:

Good luck racing this weekend.

Mike

Is anyone going to practice this friday?

Yea, little T needs to practice not getting nervous when hes driving jon orr's body's....


hey john im tippin

http://earth.prohosting.com/tc3er/Tippin.htm

I thought the new math was bad,the new language is even worse!
I can't figure either one out.

Has anyone got a feeling about what the turn outs might be for this weekend?I'm trying to decide which day to race.

Hey Glitcher, why not race BOTH DAYS and solve the problem. We may end up have a pretty good crowd for Saturday, with Ohio people itchin' to race, and Sunday might be a little "light" as some have holiday plans... Sam & I hope ALL OF YOU have a safe and Happy Holiday!! John @ RJ :wave:

Cool.I was "tipping" towards Sat anyhow.
"tippin"
"tipped"
(Is that correct "T"?) :thumbsup:

So, "cow tippin" is WHAT???????????????????????

theres no such thing as cow tippin...and to clear things up, read little T's link, that explains tippin...and i think hes right all the fast guys are tippin....i guess i need that to go fast :tongue:

Has anyone found cans with dobber type lids.I like them better than the brush in the Jack the gripper.

Your best bet is to pour your compound into a can that satisfies your needs, in this case, a dauber.

This doesnt solve the problem of having a fresh dauber everytime you get a fresh can of Jack.

If memory serves correctly, they put the brush on the can for the On Road Nationals one year. Allegedly in Holland, where they make Jack, racers used rags to get the compound from the can to the tires. Something was requested for that race to be more substantial than rags, so they attached those lovely brushes to the cap.

I just learned to live with the brush, but i would much prefer a dauber.

Hey guys, we are experimenting with Bingo Dauber Bottles, and refilling them with "Jack" to see if the sponge will last. So far, after one weekend, they do. More to follow........John @ RJ :wave:

How can I glue a cotton ball on to steel? :confused:
Anyone seen any huge Q-tips?
Very,very small sheep?
I try not to worry about the dauber thing but,every time I see "T"'s hair,it reminds me of my dillema. :cool:

If you find a big enough dauber,you won't have to tip. :thumbsup:

Oh ya,catepillar's!
1,000,000 dust bunnies.

Hey guys, we are experimenting with Bingo Dauber Bottles, and refilling them with "Jack" to see if the sponge will last. So far, after one weekend, they do. More to follow........John @ RJ :wave:

Hey John! Why do you want to use JTG at Bingo any ways?
How many cards do you play a night?
What, the second hand cigarette smoke wasn't bad enough for you, so you started using tire dope?
Are you getting out of the shop enough through the week?

You guys at "The Beav" have a good New Year.
See you at the races. (Hopefully!)

Tracy :cool:

Hey Tracy, I know that it's been a while since you have been here, but there is still NO SMOKING in our facility-even for Mr. Zippy. The "Jack" with a little color added will do fine for all the old women when they come here and play bingo, because the racers won't be using it- they need to come race first. But, on a lighter note, a big CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Ray Darroch, as he now is running for JR Radios as well as his previous supporters. I hope your "New Year" gives YOU more time to come racing, as I have it right here above me anytime I want to (which is never), but I did have my days of practice...... Happy New Year to ALL!!!! John@ RJ :wave:

Happy New Year to all! Was wondering if there is gonna be any racin at the Beav this weekend? Maybe some oval?

Thanks , Dale

Yes.Normal schedule.

Sat-Road course-Hobby shop open at 10:00AM-Race track open at 1:00PM-Racing begins around 3:00PM.

Sun-Oval-Hobby shop and Race track open-1:00PM-Racing begins around 3:00PM.

Thanks for the fast info. Maybe I can get out and run a few laps. Been awhile since I had some of that BBQ Chicken pizza also!

Turn to top.

Was wondering if there will be practice this week. I just got a new 12th scale and would love to put it on the carpet. I also need to try to keep my stinking losi from flippin over all the time. Thanks Tim.

Yes, Tim, every Friday from about 4PM to close (9 PM), we have roadcourse practice. It's just $5.00 per racer for the time. Thanks, and hope to see you Friday! John @ RJ :wave:
