That setup is for the xxx-s on carpet. Not for hobby world.

Jason

yes very good but it tells you alot about the theroy behind it.

can some one tell me when yall are racing on a sunday again?

BIGDON

also i bought some used take off tires the guy said they where 27s is their any way of telling the difference in 22s,and 27s ,, like a marking or something ,,
thanks
BIGDON

I dont think so Don, but then again I dont know for sure. I will look tonight. I gave Chris my set of 27s after he broke one of his rims on his 22s. So I have 3 spare 22s now lol. I need to change a hinge pin tonight and then I am set.

I have to call Futaba today too to see about sending my ESC back. Started glitching like crazy and we thought it might be the motor after changing everything else around. When we put the new motor in we could not get the ESC to reset, so I borrowed an OLD novak from Dave G and everything works fine. I am probably just going to buy the GT7 and use the Futaba as a back up when I get it back.

As far as Sunday's go next weekend would be the normal Sunday but no idea since I am assuming most people will be in Orlando. :shrug

I can't wait though. I had a ton of fun this past Sunday.

Don, On the outer side wall it may say 22 or 27

Does anyone know if there racing tomorrow? (friday night) Also is anyone going to be out there running tomorrow afternoon?

Jason

From reading the other threads, it looks they are racing Friday. Check out the oval side

Does anyone have a set up for the xxx-s for hw. I finally finished putting mine together after getting it back in november. I figure will need the basic setup for the track and I'll go from there. I'll try to put some track time before racing. Don't think I'll go cold turkey with this one like I did in oval LOL.

Hey Eugene you did pretty well cold turkey last sunday. Does the losi instuctions come with a basic setup as does the TC3? If not uh oh? There are alot of adjustments on all of the touring cars and getting it right is sometimes hard to do. I built my tc3 originally to the "T" according to the kit supplied setup going as far as actually using a dial caliper to get all the measurements as they were listed. It was the best driving car I'd ever assembled right out of the box. It's taken me almost 5 months to slow it down to where it is now. :eek:

It did come with the basic setup plus the optional (many) setups. I built it according to the instructions, but not sure of options. So I wanted to know want the other guys were doing. I did try is out on the drive way and then the street. It was sweet, now I know the reason for a smooth race surface.
Looks like there will be practice nights at hw learning about the car.

I am still trying to work out my Hobby World XXX-S setup also. This is what I have got now. Blue springs up front with the the shocks mounted 3rd hole from center out. Green springs in the rear. With the shocks mounted in 2nd hole out from center. I am also using low roll center block in the front and rear. Now as for anything else. I dont know. I hope this helps.

Jason

hey guys anyone is more than welcome to stop by my trailer anytime im at the track and ill give you my car to look over.it's a close to good setup.we will be racing this friday night so everyone come on out.any thing i can help you guys with just let me know and ill do my best

ps xpss = bear

If last night is any indication I heard I wanna come watch TV in your trailer.
lol
=P

-Eugene

Actually, my car was set up pretty good last night. Rear was a little loose but I think that was mainly due to the temp/dirt on the track.
Think I have fixed the push and on the right track with the gearing. Now just to put more time in. Will be up there tonight to study =) and probably a good bit of the day tomorrow practicing.



edit: I have a TC3 though....

yea my tv has good comericals lol now ya know why im always smileing haha i can probally help with the tc3 as well.let me know bear

Thanks for the heads up on the help Bear.

Hey there was quite the turnout at the big track last night. Some faces from the carpet scene were there and a couple of those guys ran three classes each. Yikes! Stock touring was also ran and looks like it may be growing due to the faster guys moving on to 19t. Good to see everyone out again.

Are they racing on sunday or is it just practice? If its just a practice day who is going out?

Jason

I just got back from up there Jason. I MAY go out tomorrow but dont know for sure yet. I might just be lazy and get some things done around the house lol. They are racing next Sunday I believe and I will be there....I might make it Friday night too.

A lot of people are going to Orlando I think. So I hope they still run on Fri. and Sun. Anyone hears different let us know. The turn out might not be that great though??

I need to get the Comm cut on one of my motors anyone going to be there Fri. night that can do this for me??

Yes I too need a few of my motors comms cut. Maybe I should just get a lathe??? Anyone got one laying around....

Jason

see Jermery from hurrican motorsports he does it all. plus his daughter sells soda

and I work with his wife =) =)

Eugene,
Is that the guy you have been telling me about??

yea thats him

How many tooth pulleys are you running on the front and rear? Like a 41 up front and the 42 in the rear?......... I dont quite understand underdrive and overdrive. What if you just ran 2 42's

Jason

i run 2 42's,no underdrive or overdrive on asphalt it make the car bad to drive. bear

Anyone know the track record for the stock touring.And does the track record change everytime we change the track. Oh by the way I am all for changing the road course. If who ever is in charge of changing the road course is on this forum IT'S DUE. I will gladly help ( Volenteer ) With labor..

Has anyone heard how some of the locals are doing at the birds???

Jason

Here are the final results from the on-road club race!

I am torn lol. I really want to race as much as possible, but it was handling like crap last night. I will probably take the car up there tonight and if we have enough for stock I will do it and if not I will just race Sunday. I am not expecting much at all but you can never turn down track time =)
-Eugene

Is there going to be a race today. Due to the Birds being held down in Orlando? I will be there at noon or even ealier. Its going to be an early day at work today.

Jason

Rob didnt know for sure last night he said it basically depends on how many show up, and if John comes down. I will probably just take my stuff with me and then see when I get there. If the wife doesnt have plans for me that is, since I told her last night that it was probably going to be rained out tonight.

I just got home from the track. Man my new car was awesome today. The track was real slick though.......I am just curious as to what gears people are running on a xxx-s with a stock motor. I am running a 32 pinion and a 128 spur.

Jason

You proabably won't get an answer on the gearing until Rook, Brad, and Bear get back from the 'birds.

What is your internal ratio?

standard pulleys,i run 48 pitch 90/26.rook run a 128/34 i believe.hope this helps.hope to see everybody friday night.......bear

I'll be there Fri. night to race some stock touring... Although from what here last time they ran stock Brad was the only one still running after like 5 laps. (crash derby)I may need to get a 19 turn. :eek:
P.S.
What's Brad doing dropin down to whoop up on some newbies for anyway?? :confused: :thumbsup:

I'm planning on racing touring stock Friday. I haven't raced a touring car in about 6 months. So I'm like a newbie.

Cool!! I hope lots of people come out and race Fri. It's been 2 weeks since I have been able to race . I am really really ready to have some fun at the track :thumbsup:

I've been running so much oval lately I'm geting dizzy. maybe I'll run stock touring too. Hey if Brad can, I can too right? Brad's my hero :tongue:
