Steve Short feel like touring this week??

I hadn't really thought about it.

I might with a renta ride

Hey I'm going touring this week...trying to get ready for On Road Super Regional Championship in Orlando...more cars the better

It's the antenna of a very large rc car that is burried back there. :eek:
On my way home from work I thought I saw a very very large flag. I must have been tired :freak:

That was the frequency clip! :lol:

Well George was the pic any clearer that time?? I did some camera adjusting . that was stright from the camera 295 190 pic size it looked pretty small but it was clear. I saw it on the site and it looked bigger then when I sent it. I have the camera adjusted right is that still the size you need .?? oh and I guess you liked my chassis by the winners name idea. lol
P.S. your killing me with the Pacer and Gremlin crap. I wouldn't be cought deadn in one of those P.O.S.'sChris- The last pic you sent me (the one w/the Acer Racing ad) was the perfect size for the "Winners" page. I don't think I did anything to it. I looked at the original size & posted it. I'm planning to keep the winner cars pics on file in case those same cars from the week before win this week,unless they're running a new body/paint scheme.

The antenna is owned by Nextel,as they & JEA have their padlocks on the gate,too for access. Probably for their Emergency Services (fire,police,Butts' beer truck,etc) radios.

Hey I'm going touring this week...trying to get ready for On Road Super Regional Championship in Orlando...more cars the better
yea the more cars the better my times just kept getting better and better last week a 12.0 was my best lap time. pretty good for only my 3rd touring race and iv'e only broken two A arms and burnt up 1 speed control. that only adds up to what $92.00. dang it I got to stay off that wall before it breaks me. :jest:

any body up for branford sunday ? I am going to make the trip. It will be fun to run some nastruck with caps on the trioval.
later. :cool:

Bear I sent you a PM but disregard I found where I had written down the info.

Bear is going down down down down.....( Touring ) :eek:

I'm on Associateds mailing list for their newsletter and on yesterdays issue they announced a new motor brush. The plutonium brush that they tout as made specificlaly for todays hotter winds and batteries. They claim that top level drivers have run them 30 times, Yep I said thirty times before replacement. Oh yeah before you jump on the net to order you up some of those puppies you may want to know that they are going to retail for $29.99 a pair.

What?! $30 bucks for a pair of carbon brushes? There has to be more proffit made on motor brushes than any other single item in r/c racing, Except batteries and they think somebody will pay $30 for a pair of them? I remember when a replacement stock motor retailed for $11 and I refuse to pay thirty bucks for a set of brushes no matter what they're made out of. If the time arises that it takes these brushes to be competitive I'll park my stuff for good next time. Tesla is rolling in his grave as I type this.

Reedy Plutonium Brush. Made of an extraordinary new compound designed to stand up to the heat and streses of top-level touring car racing. They last longer than our standard competition brushes, which translates to less time and money on motor maintenance.pr$29.99http://www.rc10.com/enlarge/777.htm (http://www.rc10.com/enlarge/777.htm)

Dave, Are they for stock motors or what? If you do the math, it all comes out the same. Butt I don't know about pulling them to clean your motors and get a good seat again? Thanks for the info.

Butts(tm)- Yeah,I've got the same email,too. At $29.99,it better be pretty good! And it better glow-in-the-dark,too! lol Might be economical for the team drivers (or someone running mod at a big race like the 'Birds) on a raceday that change brushes every run. I guess it's better to pay $30 for one set that'll last the whole day than 30 pairs they'd change after each run! :drunk: Not too cool for a weekly racer on a budget. I'll keep my $3.99 767's,thanks!

The somewhat bright side, Trinity is no longer offering a steel Spec/Legend axles. They've subbed a graphite axle in it's place (and changed the Trinity Spec rules) that goes for a whopping $8.00 in HW! I may try one on my Pro-Spec car & see how it does.

BUtts, that brushless system is looking better and better! lol

I'd like to wish everyone a safe and happy thanksgiving. Butt(tm) I'm not going too!:eek: Heh heh heh hee hee hee heh. Honestly, Keep our military in your thoughts while saying todays blessings and get ready for the butt(tm) kicking that y'all are gonna recieve tommorow night. Well maybe not from me but somebody's gonna win and everyone else will lose so lets all be grown up's about it. Dang it! I wanna win, I wanna win, I wanna win. Waaaaaahhhhhhhhhh:cry:

Happy Thanksgiving all you turkeys, j/k. See you all friday. :devil:

Ok everyone it's me again. I've decided to sell of some of my stuff and for anyone that knows me or has seen some of the stuff I still have around here thats something I usually do not do.

Batteries, I still have the four pack special on the corrally 3300's. The numbers(which really mean nothing)are 1.169/1.170's with one 1.15v pack thrown in for value. Hey value pricing just like the big discount stores. $60 takes tham all.

My personal 4cell packs four or five of them for $20 a pack. These are the batteries I've been using(not the raffle packs)so If I've outrun you these may be the batteries you've been needing.

Stock motors, Several stock motors that would be perfect for breakout or practice. $10 each.

19t Motors, 3 c2's. One of which has run a 35 4:03.7 in my L4 butt(tm)I'm not telling which one. $15 each. Only 2 left

Chargers, An older but still perfectly working Novak Digi-peak. It'll charge 3300's but doesnt have the adjustable cutof so it may overheat them, It would be perfect for the spec and legends packs. It'll also charge non,ni-mh reciever and transmitter packs $40.

An equal vintage Tekin bc-100L which also was top of the line for its day and still functions as new with the same limitations as the Novak above. $40

Legends car, This is my car and is as run the last time Dave P. and I ran it at the track. Complete with radio(futaba magnum am) speed control and three battery packs. All legal to run at HW as well as the Buttsey colors 40 ford body. $150. Looks like I have a sale pending on this

And now the hardest of all to let go of.:cry:

My factory team edition TC3, This car has less than 10 races on it(Ithink) and is ready to race. just add speed control, reciever, motor and steering servo. I'll even throw in all my spare parts and the box they're in. It also comes with a one practice day Buttsey colors Mazda 6 body in one practice day condition
and some spare tires including a full set of in the package foams. $300. and it's yours. I'll guarantee you couldnt build it for that or buy the spares for that matter and I'll even throw in two 6cell 3300's for good measure.

Dave B you have a pm

Dave B you have a pmRight back at'cha!

Detroit SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Happy Thanksgiving all you turkeys, j/k. See you all friday. :devil:Happy Thanksgiving to everybody,too! And please be careful on the roads Friday/Saturday/Sunday,as the real 1/1 scale hacking begins! With everybody driving to the malls like they're avoiding the pileup in Turn 2 @ HW in 4-cell 19-turn, it might be a good idea to leave the R/C driving skills at the track instead of the roads. Especially if you're driving near a mall!

DON'T BE THE WRECK ON THE ROADS THIS WEEKEND!

Sorry if I got in anyones way last nite I was having serious issues with both my car and truck. Good going Eugene on your win and also to Chris and Ray. :confused:

One thing is for sure . My car does not like cold weather. Man was it SSSSSSSSSSSlllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooowww wwwww!!!!!!!!!

One thing is for sure . My car does not like cold weather. Man was it SSSSSSSSSSSlllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooowww wwwww!!!!!!!!!
Well if it were a Maverick like mine with a personal transponder mounted on the front bumper you would've beaten Mr. Doody by that much. That was a good finish to an interesting night. Congrats to Ray for pulling double doody. ????

Ray Ray ran 32 last week and is getting better everyweek . He had the faster car and deserved to win. I tried to hold him off but it felt like the brakes were on all night and it cost me in the main. Oh well there is all ways next week

I must post again. Oompah has only a couple less than me. Hey Chris, I'll race you to 1000 :rolleyes:

Thanks I had a fun with the truck a TQ and win...Oh did I just typed that...that is very rare...I just wish my spec car would be the same...

Hey Bear I think Sherriff Mike got his dates wrong for January. They are like on a Tuesday....

I must post again. Oompah has only a couple less than me. Hey Chris, I'll race you to 1000 :rolleyes:

Here's another one.

Here's another one.
And another:roll:Oh and by the way, Was I the only person to notice that we now have a huge American flag on our very own oversize flagpole?

No...go back a few post...hmm large US flag on a large nextel cell tower could it be the cause of some of the glitching problems, combined with the cold weather, dew etc....

And another:roll:Oh and by the way, Was I the only person to notice that we now have a huge American flag on our very own oversize flagpole?
No, Butt I think your the last.j/k

Ray Ray ran 32 last week and is getting better everyweek . He had the faster car and deserved to win. I tried to hold him off but it felt like the brakes were on all night and it cost me in the main. Oh well there is all ways next week
Nope, wrong again. Next week is my turn. :eek:

Nope, wrong again. Next week is my turn. :eek:
My new L4 might have something to say about that. I think My 10 year old Hyperdrive held it's own but it's no L4 . Lets not forget Tom P. is the man to beat in Stock .

No, Butt I think your the last.j/k
Darn it I'm always the last. Ah but I got another post in. The weather really played a part in everyones slowness lastnight. Even rocketman(Bear)on a clean run could only manage a fast 35 lapper in 19t. Come on daytime racing. You know even when the daytime racing starts the mains will still be run at night. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, The only thing good cold is BEER! Well that and boiled shrimp.???

Here's another one.
post 908

# 913 Weeeeeeeeeee

Eugene's Truck has been running very well. Last t wo weeks It looked to be the best truck and it finally showed. now if he can get the frontend from skipping he may have a shot at the Truck title/ record. oh that's me ....lol

My new L4 might have something to say about that. I think My 10 year old Hyperdrive held it's own but it's no L4 . Lets not forget Tom P. is the man to beat in Stock .
You had a L4 before. It's still my turn. If you want to cut in line, go to Disneylworld! :eek:

Hey, I wonder if I'll make 200 before you 2 make 1000?

Hey, I wonder if I'll make 200 before you 2 make 1000?
You might. By the way thats 915

You never know.

Found out why my truck slowed down so bad. The only thing holding the endbell on was the brushes. :(

Ray Ray ran 32 last week and is getting better everyweek . He had the faster car and deserved to win. I tried to hold him off but it felt like the brakes were on all night and it cost me in the main. Oh well there is all ways next week

'Preciate it. Still feel bad about putting my bumper in your door on that last lap. It would have been a lot closer if I'd driven cleaner. On an unrelated topic I'm thinking of changing my screenname to "Ernhardt's Ghost", wha'd'y'all think?

Hey any of you spammers,:lol: coming to Branford tomorrow?
Gen, bring the Nastruck over to Branford and get ya some :lol:
Hope to see some of ya there tomorrow,racing starts at 12:30 P.M. :thumbsup: Kevin
