Still to scared to ask... :cry:

Where was Ray at Sunday. I went racing just to see "The Legend", but he was no wear to be seen. :confused:

Hey Small T? Are you going to keep your car together for three rounds next Sunday? :confused:

I was there last Sun,where were you Torino?
Ray "Darrouch" did pretty good that day.

It will stay together....
(no guarantee I wont bend another right hub :mad: )

In the unlikely event that it doesnt stay in tact,

I can rebuild it. Frank has the technology.
We have the capability to make the world's fastest link car.
My carpet knife will be that car. Better than it was before.
Stronger . . . faster . . . "knifier".

I think I'm also going to race modified too. :hat:

Oddly enough, my dad was dissapointed that I didn't try racing modified last week. Go figure that one :confused:

Glitcher- I wanted to see the legend in person, not read about him on the internet :tongue:

Are you going to Cleveland this weekend?

Little T- Are you going to have two cars, one for mod and one for stock?

As of now I am not planing on going.However,I am not able to race this Sat.,so I might change my mind.

I am riding out to watch some of the Nats thou.Any word from Rico?

Yes torino, I have 2 cars, my L3 is in really good condition, and ive been practicing with it in mod for a while now.

I just made a modification to the front body mounts on my CRC Carpet Knife to make sure the body mount screws dont rip out and drag the carpet mid race, tell me what you think:

Tom,
I am still here, and I can usually look in on these threads every couple of days. I have worked both Saturday and Sunday for the past 4 or 5 weeks so I have not raced since we saw each other at the gate. I am thinking of going to the Gate on Thursday for practice just so I can get some wheel time on the "big track". John has some parts ordered for me so it depends on that also. Looking forward to the Nats though.

''TOXIC'' :eek:

Ray, I have to say, that with EVERYTHING that was dealt your way, you still showed your true abilities as a "WHEEL" and overcame all that you could. I hope that the ROAR members who were upset by "qual points" and behavior of racers, will use their VOTING POWER when the next issues are brought up to be voted on.............. There were enough VOTING ROAR members there to cause a landslide...............
I have the utmost respect in your driving and the way that you carried YOURSELF this whole weekend and weeks leading up to this race. Keep up the GREAT work, John @ RJ :thumbsup:

check this out,he didn't win but drove like a true champion.

Wat Up...

This is a good time to change the direction of the thread to "ask Ray" or "contact Ray" So, if you have a question or comment, please "write to Ray" Thanks, and GOOD RACIN' !!!!!!!!!! John @ RJ :wave:

Yo, thought tou would like to see this. www.duratrax.com/new/billyeaston.html

WOW!!!!!!!! Billy and Duratrax.... Thanks for the info Snookie.
Now, I would like to thank everyone for all of their support this season and in the past. I will be happy to answer any questions one may have.

Thanks Again,

Raymond Darroch

Yes, Ray, what TRC tires do I need for modified 12th scale. I was thinking pink rear, red front, is that too aggressive?

Oh, i almost forgot, i bought a traxxas rustler, and i have a mechanical speed control, and a 6 turn single D5 motor, what should i gear it at?

When is your next big race?
Gonna try some pavement?

Oh,and if the Losi thing doesn't work out,I think Nikko may be looking for someone. :dude:


Shafts are for propellers.

mini-T, I think that for your driving style a red front will be perfect. As for the Rustler you will have more than a gearing issue, update your esc to a GT7.


Glitcher- I will stay loyal to team losi forever.

P.S. You both have jokes........

Ray-Will there be any off-road in your future? Mike Thomas wants to see if he can hang with you any better on the dirt than on the carpet.:p

I second that.... would dirt be "out of your element" Ray? haha I am still waiting for my 1st on-road driving lesson. :)
Mike@SCH :cool:

Dirt racing at Quaker City? :drunk:

Hopefully between Drag Racing I will be able to play in the dirt with you guys.

Look at Ben stirring the pot!!! I have nothing but respect for what Ray has accomplished in on-road and I hope that I have helped him in some way, maybe not with setups or tuning hints but with support, friendship, and advice. There is more than raw talent that makes a TRUE champion and Ray has made leaps and bounds the past two years in maturity. I am proud to be known as a friend to Ray. As for off-road, maybe Ben should be more concerned about hangin' wit me than Ray :cool:

Rico- Thanks, But now I need to hang with you and see how to run off-road.

"RAYCER D" Wow!

Man, you have really come ALONG WAY racing RC. Great job!

I think you can still do the Off Road thing, remember the good Ole' Wagon Hill days? LOL .... Oh, the Memories LOL

You might even get your Bro. Brent to do Off Road again too? LOL Prob. not, but............. =-O

Big Mike said you were going to stop over? come on over. Does Brent still have his 69 Camaro?

L8ER,

Scott G.

Scott,
How have you been? Its nice to hear from you. I am going to try racing off-road but, Drag Racing is on Saturdays every week. I dont think Brent will ever race R/C again, he is into racing his real cars.... He doesnt have his 69 he has a 94. Well, I will stop over sometime after I finish college in May.


Talk to you soon,

Raymond Darroch

Dude,I'm going this Sat.I've got 2 trucks ready.(Used the buggy for parts).
LMK!

Sorry about the Nikko thing. :cry:

Does Losi's new black belt respond to the WD40 treatment?Or does it behave like the yellow belt?

I noticed that you changed the steering link from the servo on you car,what difference did that make?

What are the specs on your servo?

Hey, when you guys go off-roading let me know.

Paul

Chicky,
The first day I have to go off-roading is May 1st. Since Greentown doesn't start til the 8th, we will probably go to Mcullough's near Pittsburgh. The track is wide open and the competition is awesome. The track is hard to find ,but if you want to hook up,you are welcome to follow us to the track. Let me know. I think they start at 1:00 or something.

Glitcher- The new black belt and pulley is good enough that I never tried it but, I dont think WD40 will hurt.

The servo link seemed to help smooth out the feeling of the car when switching directions.

As for the servo I will have to get back to you on that, all I know is that it is the best one I have had in a sedan.

Thank you for the offer on the trucks but, I can't go on Saturdays.

I am not sure if I will be ready that early plus I do not want to drive that far for you to kick my a&$ when you can do it at greentown. I will keep in touch with you to see what happens.

Thanks,
Paul

Yea,
I used to kick your a&$ in 1/12 scale also but you fixed that real quick. I think you are going to be stiff competition this year. Also if the weather is bad on Sat. the 1st. we may go to Scuba Duba in Ravenna outside Niles on Sun. the 2nd. They race on Sun. and we think we are going to go there when I work Sat. and have Sunday off. I'll keep you posted.

There is a new group of guys that are going to be running offroad racing in Medina this year. The guys that purchased RC hobby are all off road racers and have obtained the track for Saturday late afternoon to evening. Racing starts at 5 I beleive and needs to be done by Midnight. They have rebuilt the track and have installed lights. They will be running everything from monster trucks to mod buggies. Good group of guys! There is still racing on Sunday with Mr. Bill as well but the two groups are not connected in any way. Racing starts this weekend with signups at 4:00. I am not affilitated with them at all but I thought you may be interested. They will be racing every Saturday.

Thanks for the info. Medina is certainly an alternative for the off-road fix this summer.

I thought I would give everyone a "heads up" and let you know that Ray will be GRADUATING COLLEGE on May 7th, which is also his 22nd birthday. Happy Birthday Ray, and good luck in the "real world" !!!! John @ RJ :wave:

...And Happy BirthDay!

well congrats Ray .....Just caught up with your dad the other day abd we were talking about racing at rolling wheels on their crap carpet years ago lol

John, I don't think Ray will ever truly be in the REAL WORLD.

Ray, don't worry about it, Ian has never been in the real world....

Yeah, well, we hobby guys RARELY are "in the real world"- we play with 1/10 scale cars, pretending them to be our "real racecars"; we spend paycheck to paycheck just to have the "cool stuff"; we ALMOST NEVER win ANYTHING at a local race, let alone money; and we drive unusual distances just to run these cars, and brag about our new version 23 charger............ LOL Isn't it great???? John @ RJ or SCH?

Hey Ray!
Thanks a million for all your help at the X-FEST. You put on a great show sailing touring sedans off of six foot jumps! Your "drifting" skills are pretty good too! Also, it was fun racing against you with Mini-T's! Have a great weekend everyone.
Mike@SCH

whos rays REAL #1 fan?? :tongue: BABY!
