Ya, maybe i will drive out Sunday to check the track out.. I could put the sprint on the track, but with no motor in,, you could push it around John, making the motor sounds yourself....lol

dbr

Is the red box about a foot long or about a half foot long?

Is it AMB RC or AMB IT ?
"AMB IT" is just the official complete name of the company, not the product. Basically, if the transponders are red with 7 digit numbers on them, it's the new system that uses personals. If they're black with 1 through 10 on them, it's the old system that won't run personals.

the web site calls is the AMBrc IT system.

The actual company name is AMBit,
the scoring systems name is AMBrc.

Has Rider's been able to get any Sorex pre-mounted tires in yet? My local hobby shops get everything from either Great Planes (a.k.a. Tower) or Horizon, and neither of these list pre-mounted sets.

I was there last night, and they did not have any pre-mounted rubber tires. Tom has gotten a good selection of Sorex tires, though.

Oh for foam tyres.... Just pull em out of the box and slap em on... :tongue:

Love it Andy when do we start? Give me a ring on the Nextime Friday I dont think we can Golf but we can drink.

Here is a link to preglued Take-Off tires ($30.99 for a 4-pack):

was wondering for the electric guys are more interested in running foam or rubber.we do have it setup in the computer to run both so i was wondering which was prefered.



as long as wether lets us we will start raceing this (sat.at 1:00) we can not run personal this week so we have to run house transponders for this weekend but we should be able to run them next week.we have to send the decoder out to get updated.it will be back in time for next week and setup to run personal transponders.

Rubber Tires!!!!!!!!!!

Love it Andy when do we start? Give me a ring on the Nextime Friday I dont think we can Golf but we can drink.
Can do. I have to finish loading up the wheels and tires from my apartment tonight and turn in my keys. But I'll give ya a buzz.

Ever wonder why golf courses are 18 holes?

Why do full-length golf courses have 18 holes, and not 20, or
10 or an even dozen? During a discussion among the club's membership board
at St. Andrews in 1858, one of the members pointed out that it takes
exactly 18 shots to polish off a fifth of Scotch. By limiting himself to
only one shot of Scotch per hole, the Scotsman figured a round of golf was
finished when the Scotch ran out.

Now you know!http://www.streetsourcemag.com/Chatroom/images/alcoholic.gif

Tony, I would leave the computer setup for both rubber and foam in the electric sedan class. National Champion Chuck Lonergan will be running foams on his sedan. When Lonergan and gang are racing at Riders you'll need to have that class available.

The bus is has finally made the trip to
it's summer location here in Hastings!

.

Can we just call him "Chuck", or "Chuck Lonergan", or does he prefer to be called "National Champion Chuck Lonergan"...lol...

Denney

I think it should be:

2-class, 2-peat, National Champion Chuck Lonergan

Can we just call him "Chuck", or "Chuck Lonergan", or does he prefer to be called "National Champion Chuck Lonergan"...lol...

DenneyOn a personal level I call him "Chuck".
Out of respect for Chuck Lonergan ability as a driver I'll give him the recognition he deserves.

Shouldn't he actually be called.........

Two class two time repeat National Champion Chuck Lonergan?? LoL!

.

The man does have some talent when it comes to racing RC cars,
that's for sure!!!!!!!!

I know I have mentioned this to a couple people but maybe there is a way for this to work out. This is a suggestion or maybe something to try out one weekend. How about if we follow some of the rules that the real cars use. For instance everyone running electric signs up under electric sedan, and specifies what they are running (mod, 19T, stock, foam, whatever) and when the names are entered in the computer in front of everyone's name they get a designation to what specific class they are in. Mod, for mod; 19T for 19T, so and so on. Then when you set the starting grid the fastest cars start up front and back to the slowest cars starting in th rear. This system has worked for IMSA for 30+ years so why wouldn't it work for us? Everyone is always complaining about the lack of turn out for electric, and if we have multiple clases it was just make it worse. below is what a sample starting grid would look like.


Electric Sedan: Heat #1
car trans. name
1. 1 ModF Bill DeRuiter
2. 2 19TR Denney Barlage
3. 3 19TR Bad Andy
4. 4 19TR Kevin Marcy
5. 5 StkF Chuck Lonergan
6. 6 StkF Andrew Knapp
Also what it could do is give the opportunity to have multiple lead battles in one race, and the possibility of a lower class runner to get an overall win.

Andy, its worth a shot. who knows, it could be fun.

About the only thing I see being a problem is the guys running slower classes have to be curtious to the faster guys and move over to let them by. I've rarely seen that happen, but then you can always give 'em the wheel. Like I did to the guy in the Mazda Protege on the freeway Tuesday when he forced me to the shoulder b/c he wanted to pass the guy in front of him and I just happened to be in the left hand lane and he didn't care. So if you see a tan colored Mazda running around with a tire donut and a red stripe on the drivers side rear quarter panel, that was my handy work!

About the only thing I see being a problem is the guys running slower classes have to be curtious to the faster guys and move over to let them by. I've rarely seen that happen, but then you can always give 'em the wheel. A good announcer can make or brake a race. If that kind of race were to happen, Marty will have to be at the top of his game.

Two things:

1. You guys know I was just kiddin' about Chuck...right? I have tremendous respect for anyone that wins a big race - especially a really big race.

2. I think Andy's idea is a good one. There were a few occasions last year where we mixed 19T with mod and/or stock & it seemed to work fairly well. And I have always liked the idea of 1-2 bigger classes/races, than 5 classes with 3 cars each.

Rich, thanks for the info, but...

AAAARRGGH! This is what drives me nuts about rubber tires. 6 different compounds x 16 different liners = 96 possible combinations. Any advice on which ones might actually work on a typical day would be greatly appreciated.

Kevin - Last year I ran Sorex 24's on the coolest days, the rest of the summer I ran some combination of Sorex 28/32, always with HPI red inserts. I was thinking about getting the Take Offs, just because I figured a set of the CS-27's would be good for most conditions, and maybe a set of CS-32's when it gets really warm. I've heard the Take Offs work well with the included inserts & frankly, it would be nice not to get CA all over my hands.

Denney

Kevin, I think anything around a 32-40 compound will work and I always used either HPI Red's or Yok Firm inserts. and the whole set had the same inserts front and rear. This season I'm giving the Orion A compunds a try with their med insert, and the 10 sets of Pro-Line S3's that I got from Jeff

Hmmm, the AM period for saturday could be a bit wet.

Good thing theres a PM too.

A little damp and a bit cool but all in all a good time. Nice job Steven, I wished I could of keeped that cold wind off my eyes though.

thanx Fred. It was getting to me too. Despite ripping the right front corner off the car twice i had a good time. Ill be out in two weeks.

Hey I know that guy in the red hat!

Hi welcome to R/C racing ...... http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon12.gif Were all them other countries still use sticks, although it has been declining (IMHO) as of late. If that is the legendary Salami Herosandwich he can outdrive you with that stick radio using his feet. (Honest injun saw him do it back at the worlds in detroit...)

Mike

Yeah, it does look like him.

who you callin a gang? who's runnin dirt this year?
