Nitro Junkie 04-25-2004, 03:52 PM Well then, maybe I should bring it up and unload it at your house!!!!!!!!!!!
:roll: :roll: :roll:
Not a good idea. If you saw my house you'd wonder how I can do anything here, much less stor a bunch of RC stuff.
John Warner 04-25-2004, 06:43 PM Well in that case.... I went ahead and unloaded it this afternoon.
It's sitting in front of the house next to the driveway.

Fred Knapp 04-25-2004, 06:51 PM Hey Jesse check this out:
Thanks for the update, you got more info that I get. I was at Trinity last week and my salesperson told me she was not sure what was going on with TM. I was the one that told them that powerline was now a distributor too. I did know that TM crossed the line but did not know why, and I was told that TRinity does not like when people step on their shoes. As of now I guess Trinity no longer has a nitro Tourer. I bought the last 4 reflex nts they had left last month. When I asked about it, they said they will find a new nitro to support. I have spoken to the owner of powerline and we have our realtionship sorted out. I will still be carrying the g4 and parts but the support may not be there at all. I do not think powerline has the resources to do any research or corrections on the g4 or any other car, they appear to be a straight forward distributor and only a distributor. I apologize to everyone for not knowing all the details on the Trinity/Team Magic saga but remember I am only a dealer and companies don't always tell their customers everything. I will try and get some information on the new Yokomo since I am also a yokomo dealer and deal with them directly also.
Just thought you would like to see that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats interesting stuff Ted. I'm also sure Jesse will figure something out.
Retro fit time

Yea that got to stink buying a car like that just to find out there isn't much support for it anymore. :mad:
John, I'll give you a call before I come get it this week. :)
J FAST 04-25-2004, 09:16 PM [QUOTE=Nitro Junkie]Yea that got to stink buying a car like that just to find out there isn't much support for it anymore. :mad:
its actually better that trinity doesn't distribute it anymore who wants to pay them. the G4 isnt a trinity car anyway it is a team magic car and there is still GREAT parts support and cheaper than from what you would have to pay trinity. I read the main reason trinity is not carrying the G4 is team magic wanted too much control over it so they split. so far the car is so easy to drive and is stable not twitchy at all but the steering rail system is a joke ill either have to stock up on the servo savers and replace them often or what im going to do is fit a single post bell crank like the xray and serpent 710 i spent most of the night figuring it out shouldnt be to hard i have the parts on order so i hope to have it up and ready for our first race! I cant wait this thing handles like its on rails. check out their site www.teammagic.com.tw they have an awsome car hauler. :thumbsup: see ya soon Jesse :wave:
J FAST 04-25-2004, 09:21 PM Shoulda bought a Vision.
you will have your chance to prove this statement :mad: LOL :D

Sounds good to me, anyone else want to go from the Grand Rapids area?
nitrorod 04-26-2004, 12:41 PM Me me me me....I guess I should put my car back together here soon.
Fred Knapp 04-26-2004, 06:06 PM How may of you Oval guys are going to get out and do some racing at Riders? Super smooth pavement. I'm Trying to decide if I should get my stuff ready.
John Warner 04-26-2004, 06:06 PM Sounds good to me, anyone else
want to go from the Grand Rapids area?
I'd consider going, is there going to be a car pool,
or is everyone driving alone? Fred??
.
Fred Knapp 04-26-2004, 06:10 PM You know, I'm not sure. Thats why I was asking.
John Warner 04-26-2004, 06:22 PM Well I'll start it off this way......
IF you have an empty seat available
I'll lay dibs on it before somebody else does!
(that is if you're driving)
.
John Warner 04-26-2004, 09:41 PM Has anybody been successful in locating William??
I've tried numerous email addresses, both personal and through his ebay accounts, as well as leaving several phone messages with no response.
Anybody????
:confused: :confused: :confused:
Fred Knapp 04-26-2004, 10:06 PM WILLIAM!!!!, Nope.

John Warner 04-26-2004, 10:17 PM Fred,
Never mind about the dibs on the empty seat. That was pretty stinking rude of me just to invite myself. I've changed my mind and decided not to go with you guy's anyway. In fact I've pretty much made the decision not to do any on-road racing period. I'll put the OS in the sprint car if I get one.
Hope you all have a good time at the ROAR nats!!
John
John Warner 04-26-2004, 10:23 PM Steven........

Never mind about the dibs on the empty seat.
Hope you all have a good time at the ROAR nats!!
JohnJohn, That was’nt a big deal. I also can respect your decision not to run on-road this yeas.
Man it sounds like we are going to have a good mix of cars this year,
I just need some track time to get this thing dialed.. anyone going up to riders during the week for some practice?.Tony, I had that same thought. What a mix of cars this year. Did you happen to notice all new faces when you were at Riders Saturday?
As far as track time goes, I think you'll be up to speed soon enough.
Hey Fred no Pan car for me this summer,, I will be workin,racin on my sprint car,

yes Jimmy I am, I have a brand new, just out of the box, 2004 Factory Team NTC3:thumbsup: .
tonyw 04-27-2004, 07:51 PM The scoring system was tested today at Riders. The house transponder are working but at this time we could not get the personal transponders to read.
S.Stew 04-27-2004, 08:18 PM Is the red box about a foot long or about a half foot long?
Is it AMB RC or AMB IT ?
tonyw 04-27-2004, 08:38 PM It is a AMB IT
S.Stew 04-27-2004, 08:46 PM I was just wondering if u got the correct decoder box.
Im pretty sure the AMB IT is the old system. I dont think that will read personals. AMB RC is the new system with the short de-coder box and that reads personals. But, maybe i have it backwords.
S.Stew 04-27-2004, 09:01 PM Look at the Bright side,
the decoder box is 2G's, $91 per house transponder or $910 for the set OR $2G's for the transponders and rack and then $119 for the loop.
Nitro Junkie 04-27-2004, 09:17 PM Whats this I hear that they are going to be wieghing our car this year?
S.Stew 04-27-2004, 09:19 PM It wouldnt hurt. Im legal.
Nitro Junkie 04-27-2004, 09:41 PM I sure I'm way over, but how many other roar rule do they plan on following. From what I heard today that they plan on following more than just that one.
I guess I just see it this way: If they want to get more people involved in this, thay shouldn't make to hard for the new people to get started. If you got a new person that went and bought a HPI RS4 3 rtr(like I did, my first one) They wouldn't be able to run it because it comes with a .15. They should be telling people this stuff ahead of time. Just my 2 cents
S.Stew 04-27-2004, 09:57 PM right, if we do one, lets do the whol shabang. Weight, width, ride height, body height, fuel capacity, measure ports and stuff, all that jazz.

I talked to Marty today and have the flyer which I am looking at now the only thing they really want is for everyone to make minimum weight which is fair. The other three rules are... 1. car weight must meet weight, 2. If your in stock your motor must have a R.O.A.R tag, 3. If you run 19 turn class your motor must be R.O.A.R legal.
1/10 Scale Electric Touring Min Weight= 1525g or 53.8 ounces
1/10 Scale Nitro Touring Min Weight= 1725 g or 60.9 ounces
1/10 Scale Electric Oval 4 Cell Foam Min Weight= 40 ounces
4 Cell Rubber Min Weight= 42 ounces, 6 Cell Foam Min Weight= 42 ounces,
6 Cell Rubber Min Weight= 44 ounces
1/12 Scale Electric Min weight= 795.2 g or 28 ounces

Are they being weighed with or without transponders???
.
Nitro Junkie 04-27-2004, 10:23 PM Well I guess I'm not going to get to worried about it. I know my car will make it with the 4mm chassis and alumium diff cases. I'll just bring some wieghts with me for Jeff's HPI.
J FAST 04-27-2004, 10:31 PM Are they being weighed with or without transponders???

They will be weighing them "Race Ready" with transponder, fuel, etc. ;)
