You need to bring that bad boy down wednesday and give it a test run. :cool:Can't, it's on a truck somewhere between Montana and here right now. But it will get here on Friday.

And Denney, can you bring your Losi parts bythis weekend? I want to stock up on a few things.

Andy - I'll bring my Bag-O-Parts & a motor you can try - just in case yours doesn't arrive. I've got a body for you to paint also.

Denney

Thanks Denney,

And I think I finally found religion. I'll be joining this parish as soon as I find a place to live nearby.

Dave Walton won the Nitro "B" Main, Good Job! Fred had his share of troubles tonight and Jesse had only one good race. The one that counted, the main!

Turnout was a little low today. We got started a little late because of the rain but the track dried up quickly and we started to have some fun. I ended up being a great day. I found out John Crouse is still alive and doing well. I was glad he stopped by to say Hello. I would like to thank Robert Macy for the door prizes today. We were able to give two door prizes away today, between every round.

Gee, if I was anymore consistant at not finishing a race it would be amazing. Even though I did technically finish two races today it didn't feel like it. the first one I limped a dead car across the line, and the second one my motor mysteriously quit for 20 seconds or so leaving my car dead right in the middle of the racing line with everyone comming up behind me. Thankfully everyone was able to get around me and the car decided to go again, I'm just glad that Mr. Clean has a couple extra speedos for sale, b/c it looks like I'm now in the market for one. Go Novak!!! Pile of a four letter word.

Yeah PMS.

Persistant
Mechanical
Somethingness

And somethingness isn't the exact verbage for what I had in mind!

Hey andy go back to good old Tekin.

Hey andy go back to good old Tekin.
I was thinking the same thing! I absolutely loved the G-10 I had.

http://www.tekinracing.com

The site isn't up yet though, but the G-10's available here... http://www.hobbyshopper.com/tekin.html for 124.95.

Above is what can happen when you over charge a pack of batteries. Sounds like a shot gun going off. Fire and burning parts every where, the end of cell can blow off... this can blind you, distort your vision, mame you, burn all your hair off your head, blow off your fingers and could even kill you!

DON'T EVER CHARGE A PACK WITHOUT BEING THERE. (WATCHING THE TEMP).
DON'T OVER CHARGE. NEVER OVER 10 MV DELTA PEAK (THRESHOLD) PER CELL.
NEVER CHARGE OVER 6 AMP.
NEVER CHARGE OVER 120 DEG TEMP.
NEVER USE A METAL BATTERY HOLD DOWN AS THEY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO SHORT OUT BATTERY PACKS.
ALWAYS WATCH THE TEMPERATURE OF BATTERY AND CHARGER.
NEVER CHARGE ON A METAL SURFACE THAT CAN SHORT OUT CELLS.
THESE BATTERYS ARE POWERFUL AND BY NOT BEING CAREFUL YOU CAN AND WILL HURT YOURSELF OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE.

Try this.www.teamtekin.com/

That site is up and running.

Thanks Dave.

Andy, i knocked on ur door but noone answered so i left that body on the step inside.

John, so ur telling me i shouldn't have charged my batteries at 8 amps all winter long? lol...

That's what I read and posted. I copied all
that from the Power Push website.

I thought somebody had a camera handy when you last charged a pack... :tongue:

Andy, i knocked on ur door but noone answered so i left that body on the step inside.
Yeah, I should have told you to just come in. I was upstairs with the home theater system going all afternoon working on Denney's Body.

Oh well, just as long as u got it. I wanted to tell u to do all the highlights with the airbrush, not cut out like u did my cleveland body. I like em better that way. 8^)

Have fun.

Tony, check your PM.

Boy I sure am glad to hear all the rumors that are running wild out there!
The old R/C rumor mill is well oiled and running up to par as usual........

Some things never change in this hobby, that's for sure!

Amusing, very amusing indeed!
Some people really tickle me with their unfounded comments,
or should I have said...... dumfounded comments??? LoL!!!

muh??

Oooh, ooh. What's this week's? Is stock racing switching over to brushless motors and Li-Poly batteries and running 15 minute qualifiers? :eek:

Sweet, have fun in kansas.
Is this possible?

Hey, quick question for the guys running TC3s out at Rider's. What setup are you running for mod/foam on the asphalt? Pretty much the same as indoors on the carpet?

Hey, quick question for the guys running TC3s out at Rider's. What setup are you running for mod/foam on the asphalt? Pretty much the same as indoors on the carpet?
I was running my indoor setup the 2 times I raced at Rider's, with only a minor tweaking. Wasn't that bad...
Just FYI, I usually run kind of a "medium-soft" setup.

Hope that will help.
Mike

Who alls planning on going to Lansing to race this Sunday?

Hey guys, I've been real busy the last couple weeks.. I hope to get out there soon.. But for any of you interested, Fatt Lapp will be preforming this saturday, Aug. 7th at Billy's Lounge( http://www.billyslounge.com ) in East Town..We start at 9pm... This place is always a lot of fun to play, so come down and check us out!

Mike,

Man, this is crazy..............
I just received the latest version (V-7.33.3) of "Autoscore" from Bill Wishon today.
So.... I deleted the old version and installed what he sent me and took it for a test drive. I gotta tell ya, it's a lot better than the previous version we were using, and they've added a lot of new racer oriented features that certainly will make life nicer and easier for everybody!

I'm impressed!!
