So whats the verdict? Are we on for today or what?
I'd hope we are. I'm leaving now to drive up!
The weather report says it'll all clear out by noon.
and the dopler radar looks clear.

Sun is out here so I would say lets kick some K2 butt.

Well, the sun was out, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the temps were pretty decent. The new track surface is awesome to say the least. NO potholes after a full days worth of racing. The oval track is looking good as well. Question is..... did the K2 kick butt?? Hummmmm....... What kind of car is it Jason Swint drives???

Thats great about the track surface. Sounds like Chad pretty much hit the nail on the head for the surface. Now, how many electrics showed up?

And Johnny boy, I may have to refund you your $20 for the truck. This oval thing you speak of is sounding very interesting.

Great racing today. Awesome track Chad I think it will hold up much better than last year :thumbsup: Just ordered me some new knuckles for the track and new wing so I can fly around the trees next time. :freak:

check out.......... www.dirtoval.com

Bill, either way is good. You'd love dirt oval!

Ok all is well at fast times racing the little Cooters machine is all fixed and running fine after the runaway act.

The new ride seems to be fine after turning the end of the pipe out with a screwdriver (thanks for the tip Chad and Rich) it worked well. Cant wait till Thursday to get some real track time on the ...

Outrageously
Fast
Nitro
Action :thumbsup:

Oh, Bill..........

There were three electric trucks show up today.
We also only had eight 1/8th scale cars, one
1/10th scale nitro, and two monster trucks show up.
Blame it on the chilly weekend weather I guess.

Don't worry as I'm very positive we'll average
10+ electrics every Sunday!!

But, we did have about fifteen regular racers
visit to check the new digs out! (They'll be out next weekend)

Yeah, I think next weekend will be better. Something about sunny and almost 80. Works for me....

hello, can anybody point me to a website where i can get the roar rules. it would be greatly appreciated.

Sure thing........... http://www.roarracing.com

What a BLAST today !!! Track is awesome, thanks Chad...:thumbsup:

I couldn't wait to race the K-car, and everything I was waiting for was there (except the brakes, but that's due to the radio...)!!!
Anyway, the Wooriors team Kyosho thougt it would be nice to let some others win sometimes, so we figured out that the 1st race of the season was the one... That way we can say we weren't ready and blablablablablabla... lol
Jason did good with his Thunder Tiger EB4 anyway.
After all, the 2 K-cars got 2nd and 3rd. Chad was running his back up engine, and I was on the first try with my car... So, we'll be there Johnny, don't worry (or at least Chad will...).

Hey cliff, can you make sure you have the bladers for the Kyosho shocks available this week, I need to replace mine. And Also, clutch springs and clutch bearings. That will help me to try to setup my car to have some "K2 kick butt action"...lol

CU guys there next sunday for some FUN...:thumbsup: :wave:
Mike

Not a problem Mike, we have all that stuff in stock now. The clutch bearings are 5x10 mm. Clutch springs should be in on wed. Thank chad for cleaning me out of the springs. I'm working on a list of "general 1/8 scale parts" as I type this. As in clutch shoes, clutch springs, clutch bells (12-15 tooth?), shock springs, Pro-line or Ofna wings, bodies and tires. I know that there are more things that we should have but I have to start somewhere. If anyone would like to give me the make and model of the car they are running it would make it much easier to get a stock going. Feel free to PM me if there is somthing you would like to see on the shelf. thanks
Cliff

Well I orderd my Hyper 7 pbs http://www.nitrohouse.com/hyper_7_pbs.htm today should be here the end of the week :p What else should I pick up for it?What tires should I get ?or are the ones with it going to work ?How much fuel do I need to have on hand to break in the motor?As this is my first nitro.Any tips on how to break it in.Thanks Ed

With Sunday being Mothers Day and most of us will not be able to be there, is there any chance we can do some testing on Saturday.

Saweet another buggy to rip around the track!! ED ya better plan on using about a gallon to break it in nice. Tires ya wanna have are pro-lines new knuckles.Get a temp gage 1st..your motor should have a guide on how to break it in and make sure ya follow it closely and be patiant.The best thing to remember is make VERY small adjustments on the carb at a time and keep it cool. Once ya get it broke in try to keep it around 235 in temp and it will last a long time. I do run my first tank so ritch that I have to keep my glow igniter on the motor to keep it going, next tank I'll bring the temp up a lil bit to it ides on its own.

sure we can open the track up to a free for all day if ya want too.

Congrats Ed glad to see your going to join us in the OFNA camp, the main thing you should replace on the car is the steering servo it is very under power for an 1/8th scale, Chad feels that the tire of choice is going to be proline knuckles that is what nolin and cliff and I all have on order for our OFNA'S,

As far as breakin goes you should idle at least the first tank through the car and then let it cool down and the next tank do some slow passes back and forth no more than a 1/4 throttle for that tank letting it cool down between each tank, and gradually get faster and slowly lean out the engine for a total of 5 or 6 tanks. For the first few tanks try and keep the temp around 120
After the engine is totally broke in you should try to keep the temp around 220-240

And oohh yeah I thought I would warn ya guys now.... I'm strapping the monster motor in the K car!!!!

Anyone for practice tomorrow? or all ya coming out on thursday? Anyone else in on sat open track day?

Anyone else in on sat open track day?Well if the buggy shows up I will be there .

What fuel do you guys recomend ?I will go get some tomorrow and a better servo .Ed

Most of us run odonnel 20% or 30% I rec 20% in a stock kit motor

Chad glad to see you were able to kill the bugs in the computer and get back out here :thumbsup:

Scuba,

There are many many different ways and ideas on the BEST way to break in your engine. Like Chad said it is important to have a temp gun to monitor the temps of these engines. The $20-30 ofna gauges work good. I am completly against the idle thru a tank and run it rich for a gallon theory. I have done this.....I was racing down in Indiana at hardestys and needed to break in my new engine. (as I had an air cleaner fall off and poof went my engine) I started up the NEW engine and commenced to let it idle for its first tank. One of the kysosho sponsered drivers came up and started in on me about the idling deal.

The amount of strain put on the rod during a long idle or running it rich for a gallon method is tremendous and very hard on the bearings..in fact is a contributing factor in loosing front bearing seal.( leaking front bearing). The method that alot of the guys who get 8-9 gallons out of their engines is as follows:

The "Bess" heat cycle method...( Stephen Bess )

On inital start up it is vital to get the engine up to temps above 190-210 F not revving it but getting heat in the engine. Even if you need to wrap the head in foil tape etc.... Once the engine has gotten up to temp then shut the engine down and roll the engine over to Bottom Dead Center. let it cool to room temp...repeat this process 5-6 times or one full tank of fuel. You are then ready to start running the engine for racing. The main idea of this method is to heat treat the engine by getting the engine up to temp and letting it cool ....much less wear on the rod and other engine parts

Good Luck and I can't wait to get up there to race with you guys!!!!

I might be able to make it on thursday but I am not sure about saturday.I need to get some of those ofna blue springs,my new tires that are out of stock and a back up clutch and springs.Oh yha and find out whats wrong with my stearing servo.

Hey Josh were have you been? We all missed ya Sunday

Break in, shmake in.....

all I do is grip it and rip it, YEEEEHAAAAAA:devil:

really though, after a tank of gas, w/ a rich setting, is it really that

important to run another 5/8 of a gallon before you rip it?.....

how many of you really run a full gallon?

hope to see ya'll this summer sometime,

and dont forget we nitro sedan guys still owe you 1/8 scale guys a race day

see ya, mr. clean

I think Dan-O Has the correct way to break in an engine IMHO, and by the time you run a gallon a fuel through your engine the other way it will definatley be broke in. The piston will probably slide all the way through the sleeve!

is the woor web sit still down?

Ive broke every engine ive every had the 5 tank run rich way and at the start of this year marks this engines 5th year of running on the same p&s and about its 12th gallon of fuel and its still one of the fastest buggys out at WOOR.

But like ya say, whos way is right

The fastest to the back of the pack. jUST KIDDING, THAT WOULD BE MINE!

The fastest to the back of the pack. jUST KIDDING, THAT WOULD BE MINE!

I didnt say anything about the spazoid behind the wheel whos his own worst enemy on the track hehehehe. But when driven by someone like MR Clean it spanks the competition.

OW. that was harsh. I just have to remember to take my Ritilin on sunday morn.

hey champ check ya p.m.

dont forget we nitro sedan guys still owe you 1/8 scale guys a race day

see ya, mr. clean
Cool Tony, I forgot about that...
Maybe by that time I will have my nitro sedan running, so I can compare a car set up properly and mine... lol I have everything to learn in that field

Anyway, are you going to visit us at WOOR sometimes ?
The track is awesome !!!
Get an 8th scale and come give us hard time ! Looks like there will be a lot of competition this year...:cool:
Or just bring you electric truck and put that 6 single of yours on it. It will fly out there...

CU,
Mike

I figured out the brakes yesterday night.
:hat:
:thumbsup:
It looks like they are working fine now.
After testing everything from chrystals to model memory to module to receiver to servos, etc... everything was working fine, so I just reset the radio and re-adjust everything. It looks like it is working now. Can't wait until sunday to try it out and see how it is driving in the technical section of the track with brakes... (hopefully it will help me...)

CU guys,
Mike

So then Mike, what was it??????????
