Way to go Mike! how did u like those batteries?


he said they were a little better than his stick packs (1700's) :eek: :jest:
but not as fast hope ya didnt pay to much for them. lol :devil:

haha right.. No those packs were diffently a lot better than what I was useing befor.. although I did dump in the first heat.. I had to charge at 6 amps instead of 7.. they just didn't last.. I was pretty fast.. fast enough to get 23 laps if I wouldn't have made two mistakes.. 24 was pushing it tho.. next weekend I will have 23 laps...

I would like to get some feedback if you like/dislike posting the finals on hobbytalk. Tony, I think its great that you could take the time to post the results.
It gives others around the state something to look at and maybe sparking there interest to come and joint us for some fun. Also I think we could promote Hobbytalk a little more at the track. Who know maybe we'll see some new names on here as well.

You did a good job Mike, gald you had fun and thats what its all about.

I'm pretty sure I could of had 23 laps with the speed and set up of my car.. I just made two really stupid mistakes that cost me a lot of time waiting for marshal.. but 24 was out of the question.. And indeed I did have fun.. Kevin really helped me with some set up on my car...

I personaly love the fact that you put the results on hobbytalk.. I like to take a look at the "official" results after the day is over... I also agree with fred, it would be nice to see a few new names on here..

I agree, I think it is a very good thing that you post the results after every race day. I like it and it makes me want to come race with you guys...


I also agree with fred, it would be nice to see a few new names on here..
OK then, what about my name on here then if you are looking for new names. I didn't make it this season 'cause the 8th scale buggy keeps me busy on sundays, and I was missing some parts for my sedan, but I might join you guys this coming WE with my TC3 if the parts are showing up this week.
What about that?

So, hopefully we will see my name on the board next week (at the bottom of the list I would assume... lol)

Mike ChampMike, maybe you would want to come on out and race with us on wednesday evenings?

Mike, maybe you would want to come on out and race with us on wednwsday evenings?
I will be at the track this wednesday, around 5pm !

I need couple parts to run mod sedan, and will only have them on thursday night, but I will try to run with a stock motor, that should be enough for a warm up... lol

Also, I'd like to see if I can get my nitro sedan running. I need couple parts too in order to be able to run it... We'll se how it goes... But I have a engine for it. just needs to have ALL the parts for it and work the bugs out...

CU on wednesday then, :thumbsup:
Mike

Hey Ed, I see you out there tearing up the asphalt and the dirt. :thumbsup:

How's your wife doing, I heard about her injury? Fine I hope. I'll see you before the Summer is over. :cool:

I'm pretty sure I could of had 23 laps with the speed and set up of my car.. I just made two really stupid mistakes that cost me a lot of time waiting for marshal.. but 24 was out of the question.. And indeed I did have fun.. Kevin really helped me with some set up on my car...
Fred - When he gets on the same lap, we have to STOP helping! :jest:

Tony - Keep posting the results, even if Fred wins.

Actually you dont really have to stop helping me.. Dont you wana help a friend out? even if that friend is in front of you? He'd still be a friend right? even if say, he had 1 more lap than you?

I agree, I think it is a very good thing that you post the results after every race day. I like it and it makes me want to come race with you guys...

I dont know Mike, you've gotten pretty dumb good at driving those 1/8th scale buggys.. You get a car, that's just as fast, with loads of traction, your gona be pretty good.. lol.. We'll see about that bottom of the list non sense you speak of...

Actually you dont really have to stop helping me.. Dont you wana help a friend out? even if that friend is in front of you? He'd still be a friend right? even if say, he had 1 more lap than you?Mike, i'll have to go with Kevin on that one.
We actually do'nt want to stop helping a friend out even if your a lap behind us, its when your on the same lap that becomes an issue. Now one lap ahead, thats a problem.http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon10.gif

Haha that just like you fred..

Mike, I'm sure your new radio will play a big part in your driving sucess.

Actually you dont really have to stop helping me.. Dont you wana help a friend out? even if that friend is in front of you? He'd still be a friend right? even if say, he had 1 more lap than you?
If you get a lap ahead, you have to help ME !!

If you get a lap ahead, you have to help ME !!

Haha right.. what could I possibley do to help you man? either one of you guys, Fed, Kevin, Jesse.. how do you guys go so fast? I need a Brushless...

Haha right.. what could I possibley do to help you man? either one of you guys, Fed, Kevin, Jesse.. how do you guys go so fast? I need a Brushless... Jesse runs a brush motor :)

Yep, Jesse runs the Orion angle brush motor.

Mike, brushless are not necessary faster than any mod motor...
I think your motor is fast enough to compete with those brushless.
It is all about tuning YOUR car for YOUR driving style and driving without making any mistakes. Give yourself some time to get that lap or two that your missing now. You need TIME and experience to get that little extra that you are missing now.
The man behind the wheel (well, in our Rc races it is the driver that holds the transmitter) is the best assets to win a race !!!
Work on that, and you'll be very close...

CU you wednesday night
Mike

Yep, Jesse runs the Orion angle brush motor.

Yeah I knew that.. I just am so tired of cutting coms, changeing brush's, and just being pissed off at my motor... I'd like to spend more time working on my setup and driving the damn thing then working on my motor.. If I were to add up all my money I have ever spent on brush's, springs, motor cleaner, com lathe, arms.. and all that good stuf.. I would be sick.... oh god.. BRB!!!

I guess from what I've heard, Jesse only cuts the
comm and replaces the brushes every 10 or 15 runs.
At least it's an improvment over "standard" motors!!

Jesse, Nats entry?

Does anyone know how many more wednesday night races there is yet?

Thanks,

Ted

well hopefully untill it snows lol the points series i think is for 10 weeks total and i think we ran 4 or 5 so 5 or 6 more points races see ya jesse

Does anyone know how many more wednesday night races there is yet?

Thanks,

TedWe have 4 more weeks left on the Wed night point race. You must race at lease 5 races to be in the points.

Yep, Jesse runs the Orion angle brush motor.And it was fast down the back stretch and thru the sweeper. I did'nt have much for him their and the infield was close. If you wanted to keep up with Jesse you could'nt afford any mistakes Saturday.

Actually, I ran the "old fashioned" type motor in the last 3 rounds last week. Brushed motors are faster (after all, the Novak SS5800 is basically a 15-turn), but on our size track it seems to amount to about 1/2 lap in the end. And running brushed motors, I dumped twice (including the main, along with Jesse)and hung a brush once.

No racing for me this weekend...family's coming to town to see the new house. I'll be out next week though, wearing my new Team X-Ray shirt (hint...hint)!

DenneyWhy to go Denny know all we need is J FAST to bring out the new XRAY and we can do a little team racing. if know what i mean Hehe!!



TEAM XRAY RULES


:cool:

TEAM XRAY RULES:cool:What?http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon10.gif

Jesse....

Steven says........ what about the entry form for Toledo???

If you was'nt there tonight, you missed some really close racing. There is only 3 more point races left and you must complete in a min of 5 races to be in the Jackpot. There are some names dropped, in the point race because of not being able to make 5 races. The Jackpot in the Nitro class is $95 at this time and the Electric class has $100 in its Jackpot.

When is the Toledo race?

I was at the track during an hour trying my TC3 between races. It was fun ! The car didn't look so bad on the track, so hopefully I can drive it the way it deserve to be driven (like as sedan, not like a off-road car... lol).:)

I might have been overgeared one or two teeth.
What are you guys running as far as gearing? Just to give me an idea...
I'm on 48 pitch, and I run a TC3 (2.5 Transmission) with a 72 spur gear. Thanks,

Can't wait until saturday to race with all of you guys.:thumbsup:

Hey Mike, I'm running about 22-23 on my TC3.. That seems to work pretty good for me.. Well i'm not quite as fast at Jesse or Fred..

Wow how did Marty end up ahead of Jesse?

I've tried a 23 with kind of small tires. I will have new tires saturday, so I will probably go down 2 teeth just for that. I'll try a 21 next time and hopefully it will be OK.

Thanks,
Mike

I think Fred or Kevin said they were using a rollout of 1.08. I think. Anyone care to confirm that....?

Well i'm not quite as fast at Jesse or Fred..
Wow how did Marty end up ahead of Jesse?I'm not sure how that happened. I was 7 laps fixing lucille the loose wheel.
In the first heat Marty came out of no where to give me a run for my money,
man that was close. In the 2nd heat I had to teach Marty, sorry the door is closed routine.http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon10.gif

I think Fred or Kevin said they were using a rollout of 1.08. I think. Anyone care to confirm that....?Thats right, 1.08

Man oh man.. Did you guys change the track or sumtin? Cuase Jesse had like 25 laps last saturday.. and only 22 last night? What happened?

Man oh man.. Did you guys change the track or sumtin? Cuase Jesse had like 25 laps last saturday.. and only 22 last night? What happened?
Nope, they decided to change to running four cell instead of six. LoL!! :dude:

Mike.......JK!!

Thats right, 1.08
1.08 for a brushless motor. Standard mods should be lower, around 0.9something, depending on how far into "wacko wind" territory you go. I was 20-72 with a 9-turn (and shoulda been 19-72), and 23-72 with a 12-turn. (2.4ish tires) All depends on the motor.

Thought I'd let everybody know so that the rumors don't start flying.........

The races at West Olive will now be run by someone other than myself. I've talked with Marty Whitehead who runs the races at Rider's parking lot on Saturdays, and he's agreed to take care of running the races at WOOR. This change will go into effect starting this coming Sunday (July 18, 2004) and has the approval from Chad. I'm going to miss all my friends, but for the moment I have to step aside. I apologize for the short notice.
