do you ever go up there to practice? If so what day.

rcgen
04-08-2004, 11:52 AM
The track is open when ever the shop is open. Never practiced there just watched the races. I was thinking about dusting my some of dirt cars to try it out again. Only thing is I got used to racing oval and on road where there is no heavy dirt cleaning involved. I might try again one day.

I was very disapointed that no one show up for practice. If you all break and lose and never get any faster, that is why!!!

PRATICE MAKES PERFECT

That was a great run! What did you do to pick up two laps?

polachjm
04-10-2004, 12:07 PM
Eugene you car looked really good last night in the main. That X-Ray is a tank. Congratulations on picking up 2 laps!!

New92

That was a great run! What did you do to pick up two laps?
Tried to get most of the push out. It was brutal in the 1st qualifier...couldnt even turn off power. 2nd qualifier was marginally better. The main was the softest front springs I have but I didnt want to make too many adjustments at once so next week I will stiffen up the rear. It stil pushes pretty bad but it is driveable.

That car is so smooth though it is unreal. And a tank :lol:

I can see 14 laps coming as soon as I get the setup right. Yesterday at 5 o clock was the first time it had ever touched the ground so I am happy with the initial impression :)

Chris is the best driver ever. And I hack people.

BryanW92
04-10-2004, 11:23 PM
I need to get a tank...or figure out why my radio glitches and drives into the wall in the backstretch! I've been through 2 radios and 3 receivers and it still does it. I pulled the ESC out of my oval car today and put it in the TC3. Maybe that is the problem.

I know my car isn't "A-main fast", but having to drive half throttle from Turn 3 to the turn-in to the infield is really killing me.

polachjm

bryan,
I can think of 2 things that could be causing your glitching. First, a dirty motor. Second, maybe you have a loose screw in your chassis that when you are driving is vibrating creating a different frequency signal. Tom Marlow had this problem with his L4. Also the circuit board capacitors on your motor could be shot. Just my .02

If anyone is interested, I should be selling my losi soon. I like the look of the xray, so i think i will get one. If anyone is interested let me know, I alwo have lots of spare parts if any losi owners are interested. Thanks
Brad

The glitching problem seemed to get better when I wrapped my excess antenna wire around the top of the tube.

I've checked the screws and can't find anything loose. I moved the rcvr away from the chassis and drilled a hole in my antenna tube to make sure that the antenna wire doesn't conact the chassis (or anything else).

I put the Sprint ESC from my oval car into the TC3 yesterday and it got MUCH faster. So maybe the ESC was going bad??

Radio problems suck!

rcgen
04-11-2004, 11:38 AM
I have the same problem at turn 3. I've been told it's something turn 3 the glitch monster in that turn. I replaced my receiver but still does it sometimes. Last Friday I had my antennae inside the car and now it's outside the car. Also I use rechargable batteries in my radio and if goes down to a point it'll glitch so I try to keep it fully charge. Also check the capacitors or replace all try.
