what size of balls are used in the ball diff for the sc18, lost one yesterday and need a new set.
David

If the gear is a newer one with the bronze bushing they are 3/32 if it is the older with no bushing they ar 1/8th

I think you need to have a BIG set of ball's when racing the SC-18....

correct it will be the bigger of the two. I need to get a new one if they take the 3/32 size, have plenty of those.

Hey! I found a waterproof ESC with Forward and Reverse!

Now we need a waterproof receiver and a set of rain tires if the foams won't work...

RAFster

you can always put your reciver in a ballon....

OK Bud...time to make a decision...
Can we rent a tent to put over the track so we race on the 14th rain or shine?

I'll pay for the rental if someone can arrange for it's implementation.

Can we do it? Racing is merely 10 days away.

If it rains we have a dry track and can still run. If it doesn't rain we have a consistent track all day/night and no one gets a sunburn while racing...

Yes is an easy answer...

NO !!!!!!!!NO !!!!!!

Does this tent come with elephants?

Well, I think Bud isn't real certain he doesn't want the Big Top. He only used 14 exclamations and had it in Green and Black...
No Don, no Elephants, they are much more than just the tent.
Takes too many peanuts to feed them...

We don't need a tent....the 14th will be a nice day....

But maybe we should move the race to this weekend...Looks very nice --70's

Could everyone make it? Swamp thing -- Andy?

I'm in Baton Rouge until the 11th.

Warbird >> So you will be at the race???

If it was this weekend I would be there but it is not. I will not make the next race my kid is getting married and I don't think she would be happy if I had some one fill in for me why I go racing.So MICRO you will have to beat me in sept. talk at you later

All you have to do is use the controls for fonts, color's, and size!

I will be there bright and early for some much needed practice.

NO !!!!!!!!NO !!!!!! You sure you don't want to reconsider? Elyria's forecast today, Saturday August 7th.

LIke Michael said...think positive and maybe if Tang doesn't bring weather with him again from Cleveland then it will stay clear over Da Track.

Hopefully we will have a few special guests whom weren't able to make it last time...

Anyone painting new bodies for the race or lately? I"ve got a couple that I've painted. Wonder what SwampThing is dreaming up for bodies lately that he has been playing with?

See you guys on the 14th!

Are we packing Hovercraft just for fun...they handle wet weather just fine...

SC18 V2 ?? Rain or shine.

What's the SC-18 V2???? :confused:

You must be there !! Even in the rain :)

Is it a new chassis????? :thumbsup:

Rumors I heard were of a Version 2 or Next Generation SC18 design. I guess we will have to see if it is a full floating rear end or pivot ball or other design on the 14th.
Guess this means bring the cash or checkbook for the latest go fast goodies...

See ya on the 14th!

Hi gang! What time are we starting Saturday? 3 heats and a main for each segment? I'm going to try and make it. When do you think the oval will start? I don't knqw if I can stay all day. See you all.

2slow00 -- WOW glad to hear you will be at Da Track....racing starts at 11am it will be road first then oval.

2slow00, look forward to your return.

2SlowOO>> Sounds good hope to see you. Micheal has it right oval should start about 2:00 to 3:00 food between road and oval.

SO how much should one bring to have a V2?

I was wondering how you are doing, and here you are threating us with your presence. Ben and I will be glad to see you Saturday.

2sloww00 you are one tough s.o.b. very very glad :D to hear you are doing well and glad to hear your ready to race :) Won't see you till hobbytown racing , but glad to know your ok . give em heck 2slow00

2SLowOO sorry I will not make this race. be at the next one. talk at you so

Welcome Back 2slow00 :)

Thanks guys. I'll try to stay out of all of you fast guys way this weekend. I'll try to stay all day but I can't say for sure.

So, 2slow00 you know the best way to stay out of the fast guys way is to stay in front of them... 8) You can do it! It will be good to see you 2slow00. Let us/me know if you need anything.
See you Saturday!

MicroRacer, hopefully it won't be a show and tease on the V2...

MicroRacer, hopefully it won't be a show and tease on the V2...

I hear it may look like Wayne's BMI SC-18 MOD.....:thumbsup:

Looking nice for Saturday....

Speaking of Wayne, are you going to make a showing Saturday? I figure you can beat most of us using your one good eye.

When I spoke with Wayne last week he was thinking he might make an appearance if things worked out. Hopefully his vision will stabilize and return to normal. He was one very lucky guy on the circumstances of the accident for things to have worked out as they did.

I had heard rumor that his design of Mod car he had BMI cut for him would be
borrowed on heavily for Bud's V2.
So, it will be interesting where Bud's tinkering took the V2.
Wayne certainly had a fast car and hit lots of goals out of the box.

I hope the weather works to our advantage and we can run Road Course and Oval.

I hope SG1 and 2slow00 can both make it and are able to race or if not race
just be there to have some fun.

I'm looking forward to it.

I've got one body painted and another is being masked out for painting
tomorrow. I've got a clutch cable replacement to do tomorrow for
a friend of a friend on their Volvo. So, the body will get painted tomorrow
evening or night.

His eye didnt affect him any if at all on his 12th scale race Tuesday night!! Fast and smooth as ever.
Hes doing a BRP BMI as well? BMI (Jason) has got to love everyone in Ohio and especially in Cleveland area.
Speaking of Wayne, are you going to make a showing Saturday? I figure you can beat most of us using your one good eye.

Look's like a nice turn out for this race!!!

Don... I'll be there!!! (Me and my good eye)

Bud -- I think we should plan a back up date for the last race. Just to be on the safe side!


:wave:

Looks like a scary forecast of no precipitation. If they are always wrong we will see water on Da Track. I hope they are right for once.

At least we are not geting the rain NC is going to get tomorrow.

See everyone tomorrow.

Looking good it has been cloudy all day.

We had another great day of racing! I had my first TQ, but was unable to take the A main due to a servo tape problem ARRRRRRRGGGG! Next race Sept. 18th -- another double header -- but with only 2 heats and a main.

So, how did the Mini-T races go?? I wanted to attend but had other things going on. I will check things out for the next race for attending.
