I think we sould leave stock for the newer people.Try to delay the T-spec craze for as long as possiable :freak: I know I am still new but I would like to try 19 Turn

Staying w/stock I went over my r/c budget for the month maybe next Friday 19t...it's a new month :thumbsup:

Open mod would be great for you guys. All I keep hearing in the spec thread is that there's no way to get better unless you are running as fast as the laws of physics allow. You could get so much better if you started running open mod! :tongue: hahahahahahaha

Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!!

open mod is to expensive . you have to cut and brush the motorm every run. 19t I only have one

I would like to run stock just because there is more people running it. especially when there is an A and B main it puts alot of pressure on you not to break the car and be in the B main.

so I'm running stock.

well pooh. Bear I tried????

How about run what ya' brung???

Well I think we should just all quit,
give up, throw in the towel,
case i am so sick of people crying,
touring spec is the same as we run now,
trinity created it to generate revenue,

new car, new batts and motors.

so i think we should just run 19t and be done with
it. 19t is not much faster, but with 19t the motor
is not really an issue as bad as with stock.

so lets just play, and play fair......ok!!!

is it fast??
how fast is it??

does it ever break??
how come it only broke in the main??

touring spec is the same as we run now,

Brad your right most of us run a losi or a tc3 chassis, 3000 or 3300 batteries (1400 or 2000 and sometimes 1600spec pack that's me during practice and play hehehe), 27 turn monster or green machine, (2p2k me) and c22 or c27 tires. Looks like spec to me. Driving levels and car setup, well that's up YOU the driver. We have a place to practice 7 days a week (weather permitting), Thursdays a bunch of us (touring guys practice and help each other out). I am fairly new to "touring" and I have asked Brad and Bear about car setup and help. They both drive the same chassis I do. (Losi) So stop the whinning and let play.

Oh btw we all break in the main because we're pushing our cars harder to finish ahead of the person in front. :wave:

I agree

Brad Jessee is CRAZY!!!!!
He thinks that the batterys and motors
are not what makes you go fast,
thats crazy!!!! There is no way its about the
driving skill and setup, how stupid is that????

If your happy and you know it clap your hands

(clap clap)...................

If your happy and you know it clap your hands

(clap clap)...................

peek-a-boo, I see you!!!

??????????

theres your problem nobody will race 19t and let some of the other guys race it out for a win.if everybody wont run 19t then maybe we should do what superior does and run stock and expert stock.everybody should have a chance to win.the more we all stay in the same class the same few people will be at the front week end and week out.......bear

LOL.
Thanks Brad you just made me laugh to start the morning off! :lol:

I just want to race with you guys. I get nervous running with you all because I am scared I am going to mess one of you up or break something on your car. So sometimes I get twitchy from the nerves lol.
I also found out why the car was so loose the last 2 weeks...the rear arm was broke on the inside where it is against the diff case and the hinge pin looked like a horseshoe. Butts(tm) and I couldnt even see it till I took it all apart just looking for something broken.

Oh well, I feel better now so let's race lol.
See you guys up there Thursday...going to Keystone today to get a little dirt time in.

That's true Bear you and Dave are going to be up front week in and week out. Something that I enjoy though is making the A on my own merits and not because someone broke....kinda like I dont want to break every qualifier to end up in the B then start a decent run and break something there too lol.

As long as I improve week to week I am having fun. I dont really care about winning. Just getting better. I have the rest of my life to win.

How far is Keystone from Middleburg? If its close I will have to get a dirt car.

Jason

I have not raced in 6 weeks. I will be there this sunday though. Stock and possibly 19t!!

Jason

what is the popular class?

Keystone is about 30 minutes from your house Jason, straight down Blanding. I am going to just mess around with my XXX-NT. I am going to get either a XXX-4 or XXX-BK2 this summer not sure which yet lol.

Thats awesome. Looks like I am going to look for a buggy now!! Thats almost as close as hobby world. Plus no traffic. Sounds like I am definetly game for some dirt racing.

Jason

I just want to race. It don't matter if it is stock or 19t. It don't matter if I finish last or first everytime. I just do it for the fun and learn from everyone else. I really enjoy trying to catch up during the race or trying to stay on the same lap

I couldnt have said it better!

Oh wait, all I have to do is type "Eugene is the man! and knows how to get a point across!"

:)

I will race 19t. Whats the worst I can do break it. I already do that!!!

Jason

keystone is 30 mins tops from middleburg. i guess if i wanta run 19t i better get an oval car.so sadddddddddd!

i say we all race 19t and dave can be the king of stock.if somebody needs a motor i will lend them one for the night.let me know. bear

Has anyone read that "Motor Black Book"? Is it worth buying?

Jason

I will race 19T I dont care...like Jason said worst that can happen is I break something lol....I know how to do that already and can fix just about any part on the car in under 3 minutes now lol.

I told him last night that I was going to buy a C2 next week when I got paid anyway.

I havent read the motor book. But I am about to order that XXXMain Chassis guide that Dave got from John the other night. That was pretty awesome and informative.

theres some good set up stuff on www.about.com and its free.i use it all the time for my off road cars.it will make u fast like bjessee.thats fast.

News flash, Dateline march 22nd 2004. I actually picked up my TC3 lastnight and worked on it. The big news is, It wasn't broken either. I havent heard that sickening crack of an $5 suspension arm or front carrrier snapping in so long I'm actually thinking of running it again.

Of course it will all be over soon Sssnnnaaaaaaappppp! Darn the bad luck. You know if you dont run your car it never breaks.?

What was I thinking? :eek: I'm going to radio shack(tm) to buy me an Xmod. I heard they never break and they're fast too. You can change the tires and bumpers if you wish. I got some bad bling and its to be wasted.

I'd run 19t with you guys but all my 19t arms are in my stock cans. :tongue:

well duh dave thats why u break all those arms 19t arms in stock cans.ahahahahhahahahahaha

you are so funny

hahahahahahahahahaha

I'm all for 19t But I think we'll run into the same problems as always. In a month or two people will start wanting to run stock again and we'll have 3 or 4 fast guys (as in always the leaders) left running 19t. It has seemmed to me in the past 19t has been used to lure the faster competition out of stock so the slower guys can win. Honestly I've never gotten any better racing against the less competitive drivers. One of these days I'm gonna legitemately beat Bear and the rest of everyone that's faster than me (which is most of you) and i'm going to do it the same way I've made my recent improvements. Read the crap out of everything I can get my hands on so I can learn how to tune my car and practice so i can learn how to drive. :cool: In the mean time whatever the fast guys run i run. But whatever it is we need to poop or get of the pot so some of us financialy handicapped can commit to some equipment. What i mean is if we decide to go to 19t we need to stay there even if some of us aren't as fast initially or start breaking everything. Besides that's just a good incentive to drive better and stay off the boards. See Y'all Friday.

I am up for anything...cant do any worse than broken or last and I have been both so its all up from here lol.

Well i guess we should take a vote,

there is two sides to the story,
on the one hand everyone running the same
class breeds the same people winning and
some folks never win,

on the other hand,
the drivers that never race anyone faster,
never get any better??

But i think that maybe we should come up
with a way for everyone to be able to get
a trohy or plaque. maybe a B main or sportsman
plaque at the end of the points serious, or something like that,
but stock or 19t either is fine with me,

"The Brad Jessee"

How about something like most improved driver voted by everyone in that class?? It would be something to strive for unsted of them just saying oh well I'm not going to win anyway who cares.It's all about getting better in my opinion. It would be nice to have something that says I guess I am getting better....
