I think its steering exp to initially set the circles correctly....then the dual rate will allow you to adjust equally...more or less steering. Ray and Chris should be able to help....Chris is familiar with the radio I think so it should not be a problem. Ray can help get the car set up....he was a big help to meOh-JOneser-you didnt just post that!!! hahaha!! exp is Exponential and that affects linearity of the steering movement (Faster-slower). Dual Rate affects right and left equally-where EPA affects the throw independant left and right!!

Man-look at me-I sound like Goetz!!! Let me throw in some Goetz like sentences.

"The linearity of the co-sign of the Major domo factor effected the dual ratio signature of the 7th plane on the X-Y axis of the third parallel-and that why your cars so slow!!!"

I think everyone knows why Eric couldn't get his circles even with the TC3 last week, now. Manual............what's that? Look how many pretty buttons! :freak:

Hey....I clearly said that I was not sure....and I used the term "I think". OK, you are correct Ray but you also told him its dual rate......have fun getting even circles using dual rate! And to you Mr.Shields.....you just be a spectator and don't you comment on anything! Making my cirlces was not the problem....I can get them even but when the servo is moving around, they wont stay that way for long!:freak:

Uh-unhhhh!!! NO I didint say that :p :p :lol:
This what I said-"To set a circle to a specific size (4', 6' 8') is usually done with Dual Rate"

Blah-blah-blah!!! Adam is probably thinking right now "I am listening to these baffoons?!?!?!!"

Hey old buddy-o-mine!! Are yuou able to make medina this Saturday?
Oh yeah, I'll be there Saturday. We raced this Sunday (the 1/8ths dried the track nicely).;)

Cool-i"ll see ya there. If all goes well-I might even arrive early-early and practice, practice, practice. So far I have about 6 minutes of track time offraod since the day we raced -what..two years ago???

Hey all-check this out. A race during the Busch weekend at the Milwaukee Mile. Its being promoted by Gary from RC Driver magazine. he said tell the Gate guys since its not that long of a drive-so here I am letting you all know.


RC Race at the Milwaukee Mile
Hey guys, I am working on possibly getting a race setup during the Busch/Truck weekend in June (24th-26th). Would anyone be interested in doing it? It would be a one-day race, and right now they've said we can do it on Friday. I am pushing for Saturday to better accomodate people's work schedual and for better exposure of the hobby. The proposed classes would be:

1/10th Sedan Rubber Stock
1/10th Sedan Rubber 19Turn
1/10th Sedan Rubber Modified
1/10th Sedan Rubber Novak Brushless
1/10th Nitro Sedan

Personal transponders would be manditory. I would also like to send an inventation out to the guys in the Nascar garages to bring their cars out to race as well. Before I put much more effort into this though, I need to see if people would be interested in running. Let me know.

Better to do this!! Check out this thread. The info is forever changing about the race at the Milwaukee Mile.

Hey Jimmy-still at the track are ya? YOur Pro4 looks rippin fast. I just ran over mine with the car....j/k!!!

I ran a 13.666, but only one, but i think the car is awsome. I am sure glad i switched

Great Job Buddy!! 13.666 is super fast. YOuve also got one whickd fast motor too-so keep the combo running!!! me-one 13.7 and the rest 13.9 and above!!


Adam-it appears you dont need any help w/ your 3PK as your radio was set perfectly. YOu had the servo dead balls on center and almost even circles!!! Your 12L4 looked good on and off the track.

In case you guys did not know this already, Paul is in NY for the worlds (slot car race). Monday-Wednesday was the warmup with Sunday being the real deal. Just talked to Paul and Monday and Tuesday he was in the main and was fast but got bounced around and the car went south. Wednesday went well as he set the world record...here is a link http://www.oldweirdherald.com/slotcartalk/showthread.php?threadid=8066The forum may have more info on it all week.

you guys should check out the main forum page for slot cars...there is an Ask Paul C. thread.

Eric

Paul Who??????????????????????????????

Very funny Happy! How are things holding up there without him....phone ringing off the wall...are you actually working? Did you like my email to you the other day?

How can you concentrate for 1133 laps? No wonder doing 22 flying laps in a RC touring cars is nothing for him. That result is a great start to another possible World Championship.

Ray

Lets not give him too much credit, afterall, the car is in a slot!;)

Awesome news about Chicky. Another WC would be killer............


Good luck PC!

fleetwood-I sent the ESC back in for service today. Its gotta be that.

I'll call ya late tonight f I am still awake!!

Ray

Hey just thought Id let you know that race entries for the US Pan Car Championships will be opening up (Lord willing) after the Onroad Nationals in July. So dust off your 10L, EV10, SP10, or whatever Pro10 OR Pro12 chassis you may have and get ready for some doorbanging high speed action Texas style!

Forum has been kinda quite......

Hey Fleetwood,did you get the email I sent you.Let me know

Ray

Forum has been kinda quite......

JOnes, Bean and I went down for some offroad action at Medina and I think we all had a blast. In the Mains, Bean had the speed in 2wd buggy to beat the fast offroad regulars and that was impressive. Shields was fast too. Heck-all the guys we know were fast in buggy. Jones and I ran well for our first time running offroad in years. We ran trucks and Eric was pretty much crash free where as I would crash and be marshalled almost every lap per heat. It was pretty sad-but when I put a clean lap together-it was not bad. We ran 9 laps. Luckily for me Shields, Urban and Bean really helped me to learn how to jump. It was fun!

Yeah, my friend said that there were alot of people for buggy, but he still won. Glad you liked offroad, but i gotta concentrate on getting faster on carpet before retuning to the dirt....

Any word on how Paul "WHO?" did?

He just called me while on the way home. He was kicking some butt when he was caught up in a wreck and his chassis was bent. He lost about 20 laps that heat and ended up not making the main. He said his car was awesome up to that point.

Ray....not sure what you are smoking, but I cant compare trucks because I never drove yours either.Any word on how Paul "WHO?" did?

Oh-I thought you were driving it after the race cause your truck was stopped on thetrack, but you were still on the drivers stand. Must have been Bean driving it.

Hey all,

Just wanted to let the locals know I have two TM4's sitting around every day doing nothing. If youve got some old packs and want them cycled-then break-em down, clean-em and try and get all the solder off the ends and I'll cycle-em during the week. I dont have a label program so I'll just put small stickers on them or something.
But at least you'll be able to rebuild them into "matched" packs again for summer or fall racing.

Hey guys whats the deal with this oval race that is gonna on June 18th?

I have talked to some of us oval guys from Classic and there is some interest in running that night. What will the runline be and what will be used for the inside walls on the turns?
I know how oval guys are, they wont want to tear their stuff up, LOL

I assume for the this night eveyone would stick to 4-cell stock??
We do not run the Binary motors because they are illegal for ROAR/NORRCA/ARCOR rules.
We will need to know what rules you will be following.

If anyone can point me to some info please fill me in
Thanks
Eric Hutkay

Oh and by the way, whoever has info on this race, please post over in the Oval section under, Track discussions. Get the word out so we can make this race happen.
Cause I seemed to be the only guy who knew about it in the oval community only because I lurk over on these on-road forums from time to time, LOL

C'mon Wednesday........

Losidude-ready for some competition Wednesday night? Are you ready to bring it???

Ray :)

Ohh I'll bring it, just make sure that you bring something fast, see you there :tongue:
-Buddy

I'd talk some serious smack--but with my paltry performances of late-I had better keep my mouth shut!!! hehehe!!! I am looking at being there from 5 to about 9 right now, but I am working on trying to stay later.

Right now I am bringing my Pro4 and if some new parts come for the Xray-then I'll run that car too!!

Ray

sounds like you two are performing some kind of weird mating ritual!:freak: "you bring it.....yeah...I'll bring it.....better bring something fast..etc" While you two are beating each other with your purses I am going to run my POS past you. :)

LOL, tommorrow should be good.

My money is on Joneser getting smoked!!!!!!!!!!!!

My money is on Joneser getting smoked!!!!!!!!!!!!Yeah-me too!!! As quoted in the Bruce Lee movie Dragon "I Beat him before-I can beat him again"

Retired on-road racers that have since moved on to "bigger and better" things should not comment on what they don't know about. Especially those who put forth a performance like you did this past weekend:freak: And as for you Mr. Huang......I will be nice and run a stock motor in 12th scale so your and your 9 turn can beat me....since my 19 turn was obviously too much for you!!!:p My money is on Joneser getting smoked!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it getting hot in here???

YOur going down!!! :lol:

All in fun.....It should be a good time....Buddy, hopefully you will be able to handle the pressure. Your battles with Brant are always fun to watch....I did notice you getting a little shaky and looked like you had a case of cotton mouth.....I am sure it was not your nerves. Don't feel any of that pressure.....nah...you will be fine I am sure you wont get a case of the shakes.:wave:

What exactly are you trying to say????

Well, I am a golfer and the word choke is sort of taboo......I did not want to say choke because I dont want you up there on the stand with your new fast car and mad driving skill only to be thinking that you are going to choke.;)


In all honesty, my confidence level in TC is really low and if I had to guess....I would say that I will probably be chasing you around all day!!! I will make sure that all of the screws have been used this time!!

Wow!

You guys sure are putting a lot of effort into smack talking your way to a second place finish. You guys must have forgot, I WILL BE THERE!:thumbsup:

Doors open at 5:00 PM Wed.

Jimmy is, sad to say, but very accurate with his predictions, his car was hella fast last Wednesday. I cant wait to see how i match up to everyone else actually racing, not just practicing. See you there, and do you think that we can start a little more early, my bed time has now been changed due to final exams.....lol
