Jim

Jimmy, what batts you still got?
-Buddy

I'm hoping to be at practice this week. Can someone give me a ballpark figure for 12 scale rollout with the new track?

Thanks,

Adam

Check out the charger in the top of the picture. What is it?


sorry picture will not post, I was looking at picture on the 03 warm up race.

the top edge of the picture had a modified t35 charger.

1.5 to 1.6 with a MOnster I am pretty sure. But a lot more to test on that front. Ill know more tomorrow night.

Ray

Decent turnout, and the track flowed nicely today, good job to all.
-Buddy

Adam-I ran as low as 1.42rollout (WAY too low) and as high as 1.51 rollout. IN the end-I think I need to be in the 1.50 range.

Thanks Ray. How's 1.52 sound to start off with?

Good-wont be too low or two high for most motors.

Where were you guys? Dana, Eric and Rich were representing from PA. Dave Johnson and his buddies from Michigan. Keith from Toledo..... It was a fun race day. 49 entries-not too shabby to start the fall season.

Ray

What's up "THE GATE"? How has everyone been? Hope racing is going well for all of you. Only thing I have been racing is in my dreams, which I am kicking your butts by the way:)


Take care,
Rob L.

Hey all,

I am giving for free to a neighborhood boy (5-yrs old) my first RC car (MRC truck) and I found radio, rx, charger, motor, tires for him. All I need is a cheap reversing ESC that still works corectly. If anyoe has one that you'll sell me cheap (like $15 to $20)-bring it Thursday night to the Gate please. A Duratrax spike, or Rooster, etc is what I am looking for. The only thing the father has to buy will be the ESC and stick packs.

Thanks,
Ray

Well, it looks like The Gate was a rockin' this weekend. It appears that some folks stepped it up:

- Joneser, 2nd in Sedan?
- Blystone makes the show with three solid qualifiers (and then breaks in the show)?
- Wise takes BQ and runs away with it start to finish?
- Tito with a solid B main run?

Also a good showing for Keith and Al. Were they both running the Losi car?

I saw a few other new names, and not as many veterans as I had hoped for. No shows in the main from Mackin and Williams? Are we making way for a new wave of local talent? :D I know Mackin will be back with a vengeance, so it won't be long before most of us are seeing the back of his bumper.

Good job to all, and hopefully Sundays will just get better and better at The Gate this fall.

Lata,

- Chris

Glad to hear of the good turn-out. I would have been there but I had to goto Indiana to take care of some things and missed the race.

Buddy is on a tear!!!! Watch out guys - I hope to be out this Sunday but not sure with moving Saturday - might be a little tired and not prepared - have not touched the car since last race before track tear down. Different priorities right now.

Moving and jobs and unemployment and life in general have been a little of a frigin roller coaster now a days - plus on the verge of getting filed for divorce does not frigin help either - but I am almost FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope to be somewhat of a force to deal with - racing wise not my personality or myself.

Well - I cross my fingers to be up at the track and for my powerball ticket I got this past monday for the 95 million - If I win you will know!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a strange good feeling about it.

See ya all later at the track.

Charles,

My primary email has been giving me trouble lately. Some people get my messages, other don't, and yet others get them two days after I send them. I have replied to your emails, but I suspect that you will get them later. Please use this email address for the time being:

I have been checking both accounts.

Anytime!! I have a decent supply of spares so if you bite the bullet and get one-you wont be stranded if you break something on it or fell obligated to buy $200 in spares right away. BUT were all running aftermarket BMI chassis on them so they arent box stock Xrays.

Ray

Hello fellow gaters. I have an IRS rug rat 12th scale that is for sale. The car is loaded with top of the line stuff. This has the IRS front end, IRS rear aluminum pods, IRS teflon coated pivot balls for the t-plate, irs large ring axle with blue right and left side hubs, silva concepts shock and if someone buys the car they can have the brand new silva spring steel t-plate. The car also has blue titanium turnbuckles, and some titanium ball studs. This would cost over 300.00 to build. Car is in perfect shape, 200.00 for everything...add electronics and go. 250.00 with the tires below.

For those of you that have a 12th scale and run trc tires, you may want to see me on Thursday. I have 3 still in the box pink rears. 2 brand new sets of purple fronts...one in box one outsid the box. I have probably 5 or 6 pairs of various size fronts...magentas or purples...and probably 2-4 pairs of rears of various sizes....grey or pinks. Cant give them away but it can be worth your while....email me or see me on Thursday.

Later

Eric

After watching Ray Adams week in and week out wth his RugRat-makes me wonder why I ever sold it. His car carries corner speed so well. If you dont know-Eric's car are prepared immaculatey.

Hey Guys,

The Classic is just two weeks away. I know there are several people out there that have not signed upand I know intend on coming to the event. You need to send in the entry form SOON. Late fees will be charged to every form received after Oct 1st. That is RECEIVED after OCT 1, Not postmarked. I must receive the entry before Oct. 1st to avoid the late fee. So if your one of those people who haven't sent in your entry, Do it now!

Thanks,
Jim

Buddy, I'll give you my 78's, but you'll want another set or two, I'm sure.

See you all tonight for some serious action. :wave:

Serious.

Jimmy... did you get any personal transponders in yet?????????????????


-Wayne

ERIC JONES-wanted me to post he has brand new trued Jaco dbl pink orange and dbl pink rear tires-trued to 2.31". He would like $24 for the set of tires. He'll have them at practice tonight.

See Joneser tonight if you need a set of trued tires. They have a bit of CA on the sidewalls already too.

Serious.

-Buddy

Hey, Chris Vogan is wanting to come to our track tomorrow, but he needs a battery tray for an Airtronics M8, let me know if you have one.
-Buddy

Man-I am gonna really miss not racing tomorrow. But-on the bright side-rebuilt my Xray and put all the lightweight drivetrain parts in and reoiled bearings, etc. Gave me a chnace to do the Pre-Halloween Classic prep work at a leisurely pace.

Have fun!
Ray

Your too funny!!

Now anyone wanna do a race recap in stock sedan? Loved to hear a play by play.

Ray

Well the pics WERE up, they took them down in like an hour...has anyone heard of X-Ray's shaft driven car? Some people were talking, but no pics or info on it.
-Buddy

Those short arms on the JRXS are amazingly short. Almosts looks like some old Associated Dual Sport arms I once saw. But-hey-if they work. I just wonder if anyone decided to run it on high bite carpet yet. YOu know we carpet racers are barely a blip on the radar screen to the companies out in Asia and on the west coast.

Mr. Vogan - What's up!? E-mail me at MuchoMadness@yahoo.com.

Thanks,
Jason Markovich

Day late and a dollar short. Some one needs to right click and save the pics for all to see.

My MUCHO is back!!! Please come race with us!!!

Oh, I have them saved. This should work. Do a little page turning.
