Hey Brad, heard you broke a block too. Let me know if you find somewhere that has them. On another board a guy said that TQHobbies in Longwood had them and I am calling them and Superior today. I am hoping they can ship some to me....I really dont want to drive to Orlando just to buy 3 or 4 blocks lol. If I have to do that I will just go Saturday and make a day of it.

Ray, Are sure that wasnt doody you smelled? Since I've been away from road racing since january you're my target. A bright colored car will be on your bumper soon. That is until I break something. Again!

Dave is there something people put on the rubber tires that make them stick more..or wear less..if so what is it called. Thank you guys..good luck next friday.

the best thing that have found so far is death grip cleaner then use the rubber tire only traction compound it is made by trinity this is the part number for both RC4066

this will help them stay soft and last a little longer. the key to having your tires last is having a good handling car!!!!

also man that goes to bed with itchy butt (tm) wakes up with smelly finger!!!!!!!

Dale is the only one you can ask a question . The rest of them don't know s**t about cars. So for the under the counter stuff If Dale isn't there It may take them awhile..lol

04-20-2004, 08:32 AM
Has Brad found any blocks yet? lol. I didnt get a chance to call anywhere yesterday but am definitely going to have to make a few calls today. I just might have to run the TC3 one last time lol.

davepull
04-20-2004, 10:03 AM
you don't think 32's will work on this new asphalt in the middle of July???

Chris you are so right about that. but it isn't just the op store the other store is just as bad. your better off doing all the research you can then asking them if they have it.

New92
04-20-2004, 10:36 AM
So .....since there are only 3 or 4 races left under this series have you guys thought about what you are doing for the next?

To be honest I vote for a 19-turn and a stock. I am planning on running stock again but I feel bad about getting in the way of Bear and Dave. Heck, I am a lot more nervous when in a heat with them than when not lol. I am wanting to get a 19T to though so I can practice and have something to shoot for.

I was just curious =)
I know earlier it was because they were hard to find....but I thought that was better now? If not no biggie, I am going to get one when I can find one one day....and I will do alot of improving this summer since I wont be working =)

I have two 19t motors that I've been playing around with just let me know so I can practice with you. I have to work during the summer but will be on a 4 day work week, so I'll have Fridays to practice. Oh I miss my summers off. The 19 turns are pretty cool, but got to work on the handling of the car.

talked to Rook today he said that the C2's are on back order and have been for weeks. maybe the answer is adjustable motors???? what do you think Bear?

04-20-2004, 05:01 PM
I decided to go over to the Dark Side and buy a XXX-S today. I started building it and found that it came with 2 front diff covers! Not a bad thing, except that it has NO rear diff cover.

My TC3 was never missing any parts!

I guess the Losi crowd will say that this is a "feature" of the XXX-S.

"It makes it go faster in reverse."

"It gives you time to assemble the shocks properly while you wait for the diff cover to arrive in the mail."

"It gives you time to study your XXXMain Chassis Tuning Guide while you wait for the rest of your car to arrive."

Did I miss anything??

:lol:

New92
04-20-2004, 05:04 PM
Talked to Rook myself today...good news: He can get XRay parts and has ordered me 3 pair of steering blocks. bad news: they wont be here till next week.
So it looks like if I am racing this week its back to the TC3, lol. My wife's birthday is next week and she will be out of town next weekend so I am taking her out one night....just dont know if she has anything planned for Saturday or Friday yet.

new92, you can order the blocks from thercshack.com.

if you want them here by thursday, you had better get next day,
if not then you will not get them for friday.

BRYANW92,

The kit you got was probably a mistake,
but i guess everything you do it perfect every time,

anyways, rook at 103rd hobbyworld or dale at op hobbyworld,
should have a replacement in either graphite or plastic,
I think i have a plastic one you can run until the other one comes in,

THE ONLY MISTAKE YOU MADE WAS SWITCHING TO THE LOSI!!!!!!!!

looks like it is Butts (tm) and I. the last 2. well atleast the TC3 still holds fast time of a 21.5

hey look its Dave P.

Better not say anything he doesn't like,
he will call you names.

So sad that he just can't help the other racers
be fast to.

What a pity.

BryanW92
04-20-2004, 06:56 PM
Dave P,

Look on the bright side---I'll be dragging the average Losi lap time down.

Oh yeah, another reason for including the wrong diff covers in the kits:

"It lets you get acquainted with our Tech Support people."

Thanks Brad...parts ordered...now just to hope they get here in time. I didnt see overnight as an option so I just did the priority mail.

Dave, lets go ahead and set the TC3 up.....just in case lol.


Brad, when I talked to Rook today he said that he is going to start ordering parts to keep in stock and a few kits, so we might be in luck in the future. Well, I will anyway since I seem to be able to break anything I come near lol.

New92,
I hope that your are right,
but, what Rookie usually orders, somehow it
gets lost or deleted from his order. It's like magic,
poof, missing, no more, gone.

But hopefully he can get some parts in for us,
he trys so hard, but can only do so much.

Does anyone have any experiences with Losi customer service? The guy said that he'd put a diff cover in the mail right away, but my experiences with most companies' customer service teach me that "right away" is anywhere from "right now" to "when hell freezes over".

Should I mail order one just to make sure that I can use my new car next week?

HW is out of them--both stores. : (
