Wayne, Check your PM

Tracy :cool:

Your turn Tracy.....

SG1,

I didn't forget but it won't be in this week cause of the holidays.

Losi's will be available some time in January!

Happy holiday's everyone. Hope everyone got what they wanted. Has anyone heard about Dave Morrow? I heard that he had some kind of stroke at the champs. Dave is a great guy and I hope he is o.k. If anybody knows anything, please let me know.

Rick...Dave did have a stroke while at the champs. Then during his stay in the hospital they found a problem with his heart. Dave was released and recently made a visit to the track. He is still not the best looking guy but he is doing much better. He seemed to be in good spirits and was looking forward to getting back. He has some therepy to go through and they were still mulling over the heart issue. I know that we were all glad to see that he was doing well. I am sure we will see him back at the track eventually. If you want to shoot me an email or a PM feel free to do so.


Eric

I am!! Are you scared of Seaball?

Well, this question is for Seaball or that Beanie Hero guy. Will there be a wireless connection at The Gate this Sunday?

There should be no reason why there isn't!

Jim

Ray,

What type of fluid did you use in the damping tubes on my car? I think they need a rebuild.

Ray,

What type of fluid did you use in the damping tubes on my car? I think they need a rebuild.

TRy Losi Medium Hydra fluid. Or 100 wt shock oil. Or 10,000wt. OFNAdiff fluid. Fill the tube and let it push all the fluid out. THen work to make both tubes feel the same.

Ray...
What is the verdict on the TC4 conversion???

sg1-well-on the clock-I am dissapoiinted. But it feels fast-consistent and reacts very well to every set-up chnage. You feel every one of them-good or bad. Because of this ability to feel little set-up chnages-I am also excited as it seems it can be dialed in. I know I dialed out the Xray a few times this year to the point it was totally uncompetitive-so I am not too worried. Its time to play with camber links and rear dampening and springs now i think.

Nice picture of Chuck Mackin and Tony Williams in the new XRC magizine....check it out.
-Buddy

Good luck to our boys going to the Novak Race. I think your all going to do great-judging from what I've seen the last few weeks at the Gate.

Ray

Yes, good luck to all heading out in that cold weather, wish i could go...

Wise-e-mail me if you see this.

Ohhhh, you could go, you just don't have your priorities in order!

Yeah-me too!! But I know I am making the right decision by not going-but man-oh-man am I gonna miss not being there!!!

Do that body proud Herrmannski!!! Be fast every round-dont get the nickname "one-run"!! Its already taken!!!

And C-Ball-no excuses-none whatsoever!! And dont drop anymore of my motors you idiot!!! :lol:

Good luck again!!

Is there a web page for the novak race? I would like too stay up-dated on the race?

dan

hoo-hong,

the magic must be in the impact, because your motor was absolutely killer on the dyno. no kidding. power, and rpm are great. it's clearly the best of the five i've built.

nope no excuses. i feel very good going into this.

- john

You should feel good, you have put alot of work into your car and work at the track and it shows. I have no doubt you, chicky, and jimmy will be very competitive at this race...Team Balls all the way, good luck.

Yeah-what Buddy said!! Man-The Gate crew-were hardcore-do you think many know just how bad we got it?

Glad to hear the motor is stilll fast-it made a horrible noise whe it hit the floor!!

dan,

i know shane from rctech is going to the novak, so i'm thinking he'll have the most up to date information on his board. trackside has a website (trackside.com), but like ours, i don't think it is updated on a daily basis.

ray,

no i don't. just picture all the blank stares or raised eye brows we get. that should be the first clue that they don't get it. :p

thanks buddy.

- chad

Can someone give me the phone number to the gate?

Can someone give me the phone number to the gate?
The Gate is not open during the day-only at race/practice times. PLease PM Goetz, Chris D. or bean's my hero here for any questions.

Hey all,

I might buy a brand new F201 kit (the full option one) and sell mine when ts done being built. It will be well hopped up and built VERY well-I have already put a lot of late nights into it. I'll keep everyone posted. I do hope we can have a F1 class this winter or spring.

I am also contemplating selling my BMI XRay FK soon. It can either be the 350 or the Split chassis. Your choice. My Tc4 full graphite will also soon be for sale.

I wnt to concentrate on running ONE touring car and having all these other cars is a distraction. I'll go back to the Xray in time to prep for the Fall racing.

Ray

You have 2 Xrays? You really are a sedan whore....ohh teach me the ways.

hey Ray
how much for that x ray in the window...........
& will the gate be open this thursday 1/6/05.

Does anyone know if Damon has plans to run races in the Gate parking lotthis summer? ON-road-not oval mind you. I dont knw how mnay more summers the parking lot will be as smooth as it is now with our lovely snow storms. Might as well capitolize on it. Maybe a track thats good for both electric AND nitro sedans. So 140' straight? I think between the Mentor electric crowd and the Gas Oval winter crowd and any Gaters who want to run on asphalt-it could be a lot of fun and decently attended. of course-it woluld have to be very well coordinated with the Gate summer series-so no conflicts occur and we have guys racing in and out the same day.

Ray

Ray

this sounds good if we can't get the gate parking lot (this year) we race at
the Ohio Army Nation Guard on Green rd (on sundays) just 5 minutes from the gate...
the lot is good enough for both classes ... outdoor road course 190ft x 80ft
(will custumize for Electric guys) lanes about 15ft wide,driver stand 4ft tall outside p.a system,restrooms,hotdog stand,Ambrc lapcounter,autoscore program....
we would love to put on this kind of event...hey bean guy lets talk.... :wave

& will the gate be open this thursday 1/6/05. Yes-the Gate is open this Thursday 1/06/05!!!

The Xray FK with BMI chassis, front diff I am thinking $360.00. Thats a $320 kit, $110 dollars worth of BMI chassis, shock towers, rubberneck foam bumper, wide impact foam bumper and a whole lot of TLC!! :lol: A practce body and practice tires and a Motor to boot. OH-its about a $500 car if you bought it yourself new.

I ordered my full option F201 kit today. So my other f201 is offically for sale now!! E-mail me if you want to buy it!!

Heres a funny thing-its a "full option" kit-yet I had to buy about $40 worth of parts to get all the "trick stuff" it "needs"-according to the TCS national Chmapion. I dont think Tamiya knows what full option means...:lol:
