Thanks Chuck, If you are at the Soo next weekend, you can see it up close.
George

George,
Will you be home tommorow? We need to discuss next weekend........
Jake

Jake,
I am home right now, and I will be home tomorrow. I am very seldom in the house though so why don't you let me know when a good time to call would be.
George

Yeh George I'll be there ready to race I'm looking forward to it!! A friend may come along who I've been trying to get interested in it for a long time. We raced full size against each other for a long time so lets hope I can sink the hook big time.

I will have to look for it. If I find it i'll send it to you Joel.

Thanks Mel.

Later, Joel

Hello! Anybody here? HI!

Hi Mel,
Just markin' time on the Tittabawassee. Stocking up on Legend stuff. Bought some of Steve's stuff on Ebay, and found a guy who makes legend axles. How is the summer treating you?
Kingpin

HELLO HEllo hello (echo) hey pretty quiet in here huh Mel are you going to the Nationals at the Tri-Clone in august?

Quiet...yeah its quite in here all right. I guess every one is busy this summer and no time to talk on here.
-Jake

Never too busy to talk in here. Just taking it easy for now getting ready for the winter.

Hey All Hows everybody been doing
Hope all is well

summer is going ok.....wish I could find a "real" job instead of this crap at BB.......

Also wishing I was at the cabin more... :(

That don't sound good Jake you have to have a more positive attitude go home tonight and charge a battery and get in a little something RC that may help.

jake, get ahold of some capped tires and go to funtyme. :-) I plan on going tuesday to play. I need something to do.

Jamie,

Give me some track data as in size, runline, banking, surface, and all that good stuff. Thanks bud.

Brian

Dave Z would be the guy to talk to about the track. I do not know to much. It is very little banking. Maybe 5 degrees on the front and 7 on the back. The back is D-shaped. Runline is about 375 I think. 6.7 second laps is what I did the one time I was there. It is a 1/4 scale track and I think they run 8 cars at a time, so it is a HUGE track. A lot of fun. Tires I have no idea. I believe BSR blues and greens. I will have to call Tony and see about the TM caps.

Back from the dead...... Hows everyone doing? I know how Smitty and Twig are, saw them both this week. Mel and kingpin are you still alive?

Casey..... where you been? LMK when a good time to call is. :)

Casey,
Sorry I missed your call, I will try and give you a call tommorow before I go out of cell range for the weekend. :)

Hey all doing well here. working alot. Any suggestions on how to keep my batteries in shape for the off summer season here? I am cycleing them, but not sure if i should dead short them or not? I have the 3300's new ones and the old kind. If i put them in trays and let the lights go out will they be ok to dead short? any help would be great. thanks everyone.

Hi guys.So whats been haping up in the U.P?Will be up to the cabin for 10days here next month:thumbsup: Should I bring any R.C. stuff is anybody racing any where?Dirt or carpet? Promatchracer,If you want me to try and sell some of your tires down at R&L Let me know as maybe we could meet somewhere next month when I am up to get them.Hope everyone is have a good sumer.Later Ed

Hey Jake you phone don't call out or what ??

I am going to guess that you mean cycle them or run them and then keep them about 50% charged? ok will do. thanks for the advice.

We do not recommend dead shorting NI-MH cells!

When discharging all NI-MH packs wait until the day before you are going to use them. Discharge them using either a set of 10-12 #1157 automotive light bulbs using a cutoff device such as the Pro-Switch, a Turbo Thirty/Five, or some similar discharge device. Right before charging them back up, place them into an "equalization" tray.* Not all trays on the market are of this type. There are some trays that "dead short" the cells. These trays are not recommended for use with our cells. We developed the Smart Tray II specifically to achieve the best performance possible from our cells.
*Note: We recommend using an equalization tray once a month. Do not leave the cells on the tray for more than 20 minutes. Leaving cells in the tray longer will cause significant loss of run time in the packs.

Some charge should always be left in all NI-MH cells if you don't plan on using them for more than a few days. The longer you wait between uses the more charge you should leave in them. If you don't plan on using them for a couple of weeks the I recommend leaving at least a 10% charge in them. If you plan on not using them for a month or more, I would fully charge them before storing them. After long term storage, the day before you plan on using the pack(s) discharge and equalize them the same as stated above. Then remove them from the tray and start charging them. Expect some temporary decrease in performance after long periods of inactivity. After cells are run a few times the performance should be restored.
