Hey Bear I think that you are right.

Can't we all just get along???

Is it fast??

How come it keeps breaking??

Is it a big pile of broken??

How much does it cost??

How come it breaks in EVERY race??

Hey yall,

Here is the race flyer as it looks right now. A lot of the companies that could potentially sponsor the race will be at the IMHE show in Chicago later this year, and I will try and close the deal there. In the meantime...

I beat Bear!!!!! I beat Bear!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have a good XXX-S setup that they're willing to share? I built mine to the stock setup, but I'm sure the springs are wrong for HW.

My setup is straight from the book. Front diff tighter than the rear. I was using stock springs but the last two Fridays I have blues in the front and greens in the rear. I am rebuilding the shocks and putting 35 or 40 wt oil. The car's rearend have a tendency to slide or get away from me.

News flash. I'm planning on bringing the TC3 out of retirement today. I hope the store has enough parts in stock to support it. Anybody else going to try and make it? Hmm, Sunlight, warm track, rubber tires, Looks like the perfect recipe for a good time. Also I heard rumor of a track redesign soon because the current layout, allthough fun to drive is a little tough on the cars themselves and turnmarshalling on it is even tougher.

I really want to go but I am still feeling pretty bad from being sick all weekend. I have had about 3 hours of sleep a night the last 3 nights and am just plain out sore all over.
I am going to be up there alot this week though trying to figure out the setup for this car.
Good Luck Dave!! and hope you start joining us more often :)

Track change sounds good too....I like the setup but variety is always fun.

I finished building my XXX-S yesterday and painted a new Stratus body for it. Now its sitting in the garage just screaming to go to the track.

And now Butts(tm) brings his TC3 out of retirement!

Today's scheduled yard work might have to wait!

Bryan, I guess losi customer service was pretty prompt eh? Losi is Wholly owned by horizon hobby distributors now and they(horizon)had the best customer service dept period when I worked behind the counter. My car has been totally changed since the last time I ran it including a new body too so it'll probably be way out in left field. I plan on going sssslllloooowwwww but steady and I'm gonna try to keep it of the pipes. But we all know how that goes. :eek:

Gino, I hope you feel better soon. Dont let the bed bugs bite either.

Actually, Losi customer service hasn't produced anything yet. They didn't impress me much since the guy didn't know the part number and didn't even have a parts list or manual available. To make sure I got the part, I also ordered the diff cover from Hobbytown USA. The one from Hobbytown arrived Friday.

I hope yall have had a chance to see my race flyer. If so, what do you think of it?

I hope ysall have had a chance to see my race flyer. If so, what do you think of it?
I looked at it and it looks professional but doubt many from around here will make the trip as most just stay in a close proximity to home to do their racing.
Good luck and best wishes on your race.

I beat Bear!!!!! I beat Bear!!!!!!!!!!


HACKER

hey Guys this is hard for me to do but I must do the right thing and let everybody know. that 12th scale that Todd Malone was trying to sell friday night was stolen. (see stolen 12th scale in the on road section) when I told Todd he said he bought it off a guy on rctech.net and for me to call him sat and he'll give me his name and email. well when I went home I searched all the web boards for a car matching this cars description. couldn't find one any where. strike one against Todd. Todd also said that the Reedy mod motor in the car was a friends. well in the descript of the car on the stolen thread you guessed it a reedy mod strike 2 against Todd. so I call him all day SAT with no call back from Todd strike 3 against Todd. Finally I call his parents on Sunday and told his mom. then called Todd and he answered only to tell me that he has sold the car on the internet and leave him alone. Strike 4 your out!!!!!!!!! It seems that our friend Todd Malone isn't as nice of a guy as we thought. If you see him at the track watch your stuff and don't buy anything from him it might be hot!!!!!!!!!!!!

let me add that I talked with David Lee and he described the exact car that was in my hands friday night so it was the stolen car.

That really sucks that someone would do that! We all put a lot of trust in our fellow racers by leaving thousands of dollars worth of hardware laying in our pit stalls while we go inside HW for parts or walk over to one of the closeby restaurants for some food. This guy destroys that trust because I don't know what he looks like. If he ever shows up, make sure you point him out to everyone just before we escort him off the premises.

Maybe HW can write up a trespass order for him so we can legally have him removed if he ever comes back.

I put my new XXX-S on the track today. I gotta admit--I'm impressed! My average practice lap time in my TC3 last week was 29.36, with my best lap being 28.23. My first time out with the Losi and I ran an average of 27.55 with my best lap being 26.98.

Then, it started raining! :(

But, I'm pretty excited that I'm now running an average lap time (and that's over a 5 minute run) that beats my previous best lap by over a half second!

I'm not going to be winning any races with those times, but now I can start racing to put someone else in last place! :D

Lap times are measured by my Orion Pro Lap Counter. Those things are definitely worth the money!

Cool man :thumbsup: Dave P. is my boy and he is very fast with his TC3. But the Losi is a much better car for HW. It would be scary to see Dave in a Losi . lol

edited and banned for TOS violations.

so the story has now changed.


. Todd I will not respond to your comments about me but I will say right on man:)

let me add this So when I talked to you on sunday morning you said that You sold the car and no longer had it. So you found out that the car you found at the snowbirds was stolen so rather than return it you sold it. what a jerk so my question is who do you sell it to????

let not get away from the fact that there is a man in Ohio that spent his hard earned money to build this car. and would very much like it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man I just got to say it I real man would do the right thing and give Mr Lee his car back!

He THE BRAD what was that website you go the monsters from????

HOW FAST IS IT?

sneaky fast

sneaky fast
Does the name of the ESC start with a K ??

i don't know if superior is going to happen for me. plus with the pre worlds alot of the local fast guys might not be there.

thats cool let us know,ya know the points series is already over.1st and 2nd are sewed up its only a fight for 3rd

Sneaky Sneaky

Hehehehe

I think that you are under estimating the sneakyness Sir,

hehehehehehehe

Bear got snookered into to buying an wiper arm speed control on one of the other forums he reads. He was told it was high tech. They forgot to mention it was high tech in 1979. He he he he hehe eheh

Dave Butts(tm) thats not very nice,

you should be ashamed of yourself,
being mean to bear like that,

I think that you underestimate the sneakyness Sir,

hehe

You can chalk Brad up for 3rd I won't make the race on the last week. I blew my chance to make a run at Brad last week when he broke on lap 2 and Then I broke on the next lap. Won't catch him now and probly wouldn't have. BUt I sure was going to Try!!

Anyone got a power supply 4 sale????cash is a little tight this week and need one buy fri. nothing special just need to power a charger ..10 amp or above .

Mr Shumacher 99,
I have a ps that you can borrow,
it has plenty of power.

I think that we should end the serious now and
redo the track, and start a new one.

I can't beat dave,
dave cant beat bear,
so what do ya'll say??

"the brad jessee"

i think after the series wee should open up the track a little more

you guys are flingin' killing me i just started to figure out everything on this course and now you're gonna change it. So it's alittle tight and technical if you don't want to break don't hit stuff (or buy a losi).

i think after the series wee should open up the track a little more

But then it won't be TECHNICAL!

That's what you called it a couple months ago when I said it needed to be opened up a little.

Your response from March 13:

Bryan that last track was boring. just a bunch of straights. this track is alittle more technical. but is still average track as far as technicality goes.

as for the comment about a road course for 1/10 cars looks like you should sell your car because the tracks are all going to be like this.

just a little advice stop hitting things the slower you go the faseter the lap time.

...and this was a good one too:

rhythm is they key to this track. And if you guys think its tight lol if they would have listened to me the widest lane would have been 6 ft with a chicane on every straight. mmmmmmmuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa


I just switched from a TC3 to a Losi so I could survive the TECHNICAL course! Now you want to open it back up!! :jest:

I hate to admit it, but I like it the way it is. DaveP was right--it actually has made me a better driver.

I like it much better than the old lay out. How ever it needs to be more refined. Some turns are just over kill and the width of the track is great for say 6 cars. But they put 9 on the track for the main on fri. and it was a slam fest. I got hacked on the 3rd lap by someone and it really pissed me off. But after I thought about it yyyyyeaaaaaaahhhhh I was still pissed off. If they are going to put all types of drivers in the a- main then they need to give the regular a- main drivers more room to avoid them. I can't beat Bear, Dave or Brad but I can hold a line and get out of the way when I need to, but some can't. They are still learning (like me) how to drive.They don't need to be put in the A-main. with a track that tight with that many cars. But it's all good, we can improve the track so lets do it.

i think the track is fine the way it is I just feel bad for you guys when you walk off the track with a broken car but if you don't care about breaking then keep it the way it is
