Hey looks like I might be able to make it this weekend afterall! I got a gig with Fatt Lapp at the Kentwood festival over on 44th st.. but that isn't till like 5pm... so I could prolly make it out to race, as long as I went striaght to the gig after racing... Hmm what time do we normaly get outa there on saturdays? I can't remember... Maybe some strings could be pulled to allow the trucks to race first? ;)

So, if I was to show up with a 2wd buggy with a mod, what class would be available to run in? I've got these tired old foams for the buggy that might make a good addition to the race surface....

Well I have an old RC10 B2 I just might be able to run.. I dont really have any tires for it tho.. I have some slicks that I used down at RnL I really dont know if they would hook up or not.. might be fun to try tho ;) Anyone else run a buggy?

Well I went to pratice today with my rubber tires they where hooking up great but after 30min of track time they are junk :freak: They where the proline v rages that came with my kit.It was the first time they have been run.Now I have no tires for this weekend.As my foams wont be here untill next week.So I need to find some tires for this weekend.I wish they where cheaper here in town then I could just get them.I can get two sets for the price of one set on the net.But now I have to wait.I new I needed tires should have orded them a week ago.Bad me :rolleyes:

I must have missed something because I had a great time. As usual when I make the trip over I have lots of fun. Kind of a relaxing day playing with my cars.

I had my brand new NTC3, never was on the track before, and had plenty of time to tune on it. By the main it was pretty good and then I had flame out problems every time I pitted. I think I have it figured out, one of the advantages of a long drive home.

Thanks for the fun day.

Ted

I think we were all glad to see some new faces. Too bad i couldnt run. eh, maybe next time.

Hmm I just might be in town this wed night.. I am not sure tho, Might have to to back to toledo on wed... I might have to bring the Brand new TC3 out for a first run... We'll see... I always got my truck too... ;)

Well I got my TC3 all together now.. I even managed to get out to Riders today and turn a few laps.. Let me tell ya, I am really impressed with the Factory Team TC3... That car has tons of hop ups and cool looking blue parts... The only thing I dont really like is the Plastic out drives... But I droped my 12x2 in there and that thing just screams! I can hardly handle it... I got a lota practice to do befor I am a real contender with a sedan.. I have a couple questions tho.. How do I gear the thing? I was running 2 teeth under what the book told me and that motor still get's too hot to cook an egg on for god's sake... I tryed going up, down, sideways, backwards.. anything I could with gearing, and could not keep the motor at a decent temp.. I am gona use a lota brushes like this... That Brushless motor system is looking mighty nice right now....

hey blue skid, just run the recomended gearing for the motor you have. if youre under geared you can fry youre motor just as fast as if you were over geared. as a matter of fact, for outdoors i would run 1 tooth higher than youre manual says, wider open track than indoors. as for the plastic outdrives, i run them in the back of my car, but run shinys in the front, specially for mod. the lighter the rotating mass the better, let me tell ya, plastic is light. you can also turn the timing down on youre motor, and cut the brushes to lessen the amp draw.

hey fred, dont forget the black magic and the piston and sleeve, thanx.

hey ted, great to see you at our track. i had a great time even though i broke with 6 mins left in the main. you guys were definately fast. hope to see ya again, let us know when youre charity race is, ide like to go to that. talk to ya L8R ted.

Blue skid - 22 or 23 to 72 sounds about right to me, too. Don't go nuts with timing on a 12-turn, somewhere around 15-20 degrees should be good. Also make sure the drivetrain is free. With the pinion removed (or the motor moved over), it should spin for at least a few seconds when you give the tires a spin by hand. After I got my cars freed up, all motors ran cooler.

I wont be racing this week or maybe next cuz im spending all my money getting stuff ready for the Great lakes challenge at the end of the month. I might stop and hang out thow.

Or..... you might even............ :confused:

Where is the great lake challenge being held?

Wow thanks apple and Kevin for the tips.. I'll diffently try those things... Kevin say my drive train is a bit tight how do I lossen it up?

Also what time do you guys start running tomorrow? I am gona be able to make it... I am real excited to try my new car out in a real race.. I think I'll do ok.. What springs and wt oil do I wana start with? Right now I am just set up with the defult book setup.. I know I should be a bit stiffer...

Fred you think those tires will work ok? I was out there yesterday for about 2 packs worth, and the thinner tires seemed to hook up much better.. but is that enough? or do I need new ones?
