"The Brad Jessee"

Yesterday wasn't my day for testing and tuning...Brad Thanks lending me the motor plate for the night. I think I solved my glitching problem by replacing that receiver so I'll be ready for you guys. It's been over two weeks of no racing for me. :-)

Davep-hope you can make it tonight I want to see that run....

dave p's run was a fluke.a once in a lifetime run.never again.there's a rumor that rook is planing on racing tonight.should be fun.
is it 4:30 yet? i can see the papers in the morning losi wins again................ bear

The rumor on Rook has been going on for about a month now though, lol. I wish he would...would be a fun race to watch...you Brad and Daves

"the brad jessee"

dum da dum dum duummmmm

i hate loosing these battles who's brite idea was it to start in the back??????????????

but the TC3 layed down a 21.5 and backed it up with a 25.7 lol it was a fun night :)

Time for the track to be X-Rayed I think :)

Soon hopefully anyway lol.

My car is fast to bad the driver is sssssssllllooooowwwwww

You know I havent raced my TC3 on the new layout yet so I've had the opportunity to watch/marshal plenty of the races. One thing I've noticed and it perplexes several others and myself is the severity or observed lack of severity it takes to break these cars.

It seems that it's the light impacts that do the most damage. Lastnight I saw Dave P's car take several what looked like full throttle impacts with the pipe and he finished the main but Eugene G's car just touched a pipe and was destroyed.

Same for mine the last time I ran it. A simple brush of the pipe where there were no connectors and it broke an a-arm, c-hub and steering arm. The hit didnt even change the direction of the car it just drug to a stop on the chassis. Then I see cars lastnight just blasting the pipe and then doing end'os and back flips and summersaults then just keep on racing. Waasssuuupppwwwiiiddaaattt?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I HATE POLY VINYL CHLORIDE!

It would take a small furtune to do it but I bet that a simple addition of garden edging attached to the pipe all the way around the track on both sides would cure alot of the breakage that takes away the fun for everyone.

When looking at the cars. Almost all of them have some design of front bumper on them but due to the curvature of the pipe it just just goes under the curve resulting in full impact on the front or rear suspension. We need the r/c version of softwalls. Or better than that no walls but a painted layout but that would mean that the track could never ever be changed again. It sure would look good though. Ok enough of my crying. Who's next?

Its the curvature of the pipe that's killing us. Maybe a smaller diameter pipe taped to the pipe would help by keeping the bumpers from diving under the big pipe and taking the hit on the suspension components. I don't mean taping it to the side of the pipe like a pool table bumper, but put the small pipe on the ground up against the big pipe.

Like this:

We could even use garden hose for the "anti-dive" pipes. 50' of that is pretty cheap and its flexible enough to easily conform to the shape of the PVC pipe.

Its spring time. We could all use a new garden hose. So if everyone brought their old hose to the track, we could do it for nothing. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try. The cheap small diameter hose would probably be best. The big stuff might turn the pipe into a jump ramp.

Now what would be very gentle and entertaining is to lay the entire track out in plow discs! :devil: Can you say "airtime" I knew you could. We'll all be driving cars with actuated canards on the front bumper and 9 ch transmitters and receivers. :lol:

Like Butts said the only way to fix it is to make a painted lay out and use discs around the corners. But we won't so why bother. Here is a tip if your going to hit the pipe floor it before you get there.

well, I went by the track today and met a few guys~ Hopefully I'll be running with you all soon! Problem is with my new Pro4 I am afraid of parts breakage (or better yet getting parts to fix the breakage!) looks like fun though, cant wait for the new onroad track to be up and running at Ocala!

cheers,

Rob (L.R.)

Hey I got an idea,
we could use set gear limits and
use closed endbell motors, and
run super slow so that we don't break,

no wait...
we could just all sell our cars and quit and
sit around and remember what it was like to
race one another every friday,
and then go home.

is it fast??
how come it only broke in the main??

That's the best idea I've read here NOT

You break your car then you go fix it so you can break/race again...lol It's all part of racing...we might as well race tanks :tongue:

X-RAY i.e. Tank

Thats ok cause that XRay is on the way in the morning and hopefully will make an appearance Thursday night. If it breaks it breaks. But a new car always makes you drive better didnt you know that?

Just would be nice to be dialing a setup in rather than replacing something after each pack lol.

Its ok Brad....you're just misunderstood ;)

:devil:

Mis under who???

I am so not mis sonder stood???

hahahahahahahahahahahha

"The Brad Jessee"

Is anyone going to be out tuesday night for practice?

Jason

Thurs. I will be there

Hey Brad did you say the front diff needs to be tighter than the rear?

I checked my diff like you said - hold the wheels and turn the other set of wheels and now the front barely moves while the rear is a little loose.

the front diff should be tighter than the rear or equal,
never looser, the front diff should barely move and the
rear should slightly move,
remember drive out of the corner not thorugh it,

slower is faster!!
is it fast??
how come it only broke in the main??

My front don't move and the rear is a little loose. I'll have try it out thursday

Thanks

What do you do if your front end feels lazy. It just seems like it takes 2 days for the front end to come in.

It is hard to say, remember the car is two parts
working as one, do you have to much rear traction
causing a push, or just not enough front traction??
best thing to do is come out thursday and start to change
things on your car, once you feel like you have it set right
you can make small adjustments from there.

all drivers are differnet, my setup is different than bears,
that does not make him faster, it just means he drives different.

practice makes you faster.

Bear has 10+ years==== #1
"the Brad" has 1 years==== slooowww

practice makes perfect

somethin' smells like poop

is it fast??

how come it only broke in the main??

wow the worlds greastest rc driver is giving advise fresh off of his win in orlando.thats why he's the best.when i grow up i wanna be just like him.and brad thats 6 years not 10.

and yes it does break in the main.

Bear, lets remember,
you are
"THE GREATEST RC DRIVER IN THE UNIVERSE"
so you should give me advise to give to others.

hahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah ahahahaha

punk!!

tis better to have raced and broken than to have never raced at all. :tongue: Look at that there is a use for that saying, if it's paraphrased.

i thought I was the worlds greatest driver Brad

Shouldn't this be on the oval side??? Another convert :thumbsup:

Yep usually when real drivers(touring)run oval there are wrecks worthy of charging admission to. Me? I get to watch real drivers race. I turnmarshal touring races with the real intention of learning all of y'alls lines so I can pass at will when I return to "real racing" . Thinking of changing my colors since the pink white and yellow is such a pain to tape off and spray. But then again maybe not.

Dave you're a real driver period. It could be boat racing and you would TQ

David you don't need to change your colors...looks like most use the same colors but in different amounts of coats. Did you see that full body pink opps florescent red car?
