Murdock R/C website is fully updated, with lower bearing prices, lower motor and armature prices as well as many new things that are being stocked this year. The second hand page is also updated with many New, coseout or great used stuff.

With Carpet approaching soon Murdock R/C is also having it annual tire sale. $3 per pair off the normal price until at least Oct 1st. Murdock R/C wheels are the best available. Smaller (1.80in) lighter, lower roll center and in most cases they have been faster. Smaller rim means more life and more for your money. There is not a rim on the market that will match this one.

More awesome announcements to come in the near future from Murdock R/C as well. STAY TUNED!!!!!!!!!;)

Other new items that are now available at Murdock R/C.

The famous Pivot ball tool for inserting and removing your front end pivot balls is now available through us for $8 each. One of the best tools to have in the pit box for front end work. A must really

Pinion Pullers. Not something you will use every day but when you need it man are they handy. $8 each

Stealth antennas. These are the triangle ones for under the body use. Very good for boosting reception from radio to rx because of the design. I have a ton of these Im going to blow out for $2 each

Shur Lube is also soon to be available again and in new formulas. This is the very best stuff for king pins and damper tubes to get the suspension feel just right. I hoping that it will be available again in 3 weeks or so and I looking at at least 6 different thicknesses.

Rob M. at MURDOCK R/C, ask me to post a message here that his computer is not operating at this time and that he is unable to retrieve e-mail messages and orders which were placed by e-mail. If you e-mailed an order in today and you need it quickly he asks that you call or fax in the order. The computer is being worked on and he expects to have things operating in the morning. He will post a message on this thread when things are back operating normally again.

Would just like to thank Rob agian for all the help this weekend at the Hobbyplex in Omaha. Was able to win with Hyperdrive and KC Racing behind me. Thanks again!! Do I see a Pro 3 in my near future??

I have to add my thanks to Rob also for getting me in to a HyperDrive 700 and now a HD Pro3. With your help Rob I may need to change my screen name and drop the slowpoke. Thanks again for all your support.

Thanks a bunch Jim, it is my pleasure to help. We have been racing together for many many years and Im glad you like your cars. I kept seeing that yellow car in the corner of my eye last weekend. Keep up the great work and driving

Jim,

You're right. SLOWPOKE is not fitting for you anymore. Not after last weekend, that's for sure, and when your Pro 3 hits the track we all better look out.

I have to thank Rob for helping me with my car also. He built it and set it up. All I do is drive it. My Pro 3 is one smooth unit to drive. I wish I could say I taught him everything he knows, but not in this department.

Thanks Son,

Your DAD

Oh, buy the way, Jim, how does BallisticJim sound.

MURDOCKRC

No problem Dad, Im glad to do it. Im getting real tired of looking in the rear view mirror and seeing that "Bad ass boy with bad ass toys" sticker though ;)



Hey Jim, How about "JIMMY JETS" for a new name. Kinda fitting I think. Your in the air guard and your going fast. ;)

Shur lubes are just around the corner. If all stays on track they should be available in a week and a half. As mentioned before there will be 6 different ones now. The old #1 has been dropped but 3 others have been added. They will be in 1/2 once bottles as they were in the past with bolink.

Monday would appear to be the release day for the SHUR LUBE. We are finishing up getting color to them, labels done and Bottling them. They will be available in singles of each one or in Six packs of all six blends. This is one of the best tuning lubes for front ends or damper tubes there has ever been and we are hoping with the addition of the others they will become even more inportant tuning aides

In an attempt to get a full width Murdock tire to fit my Pro-3, I did some grinding on the left side of my upper and lower pod plates. That was almost enough but I had to put 2 additional 0.020 inch spacers behind the hub. I now have 5 - 0.020 inch spacers on the left side and 3 of them on the right side. In theory, what should the addition of 2 - 0.020 inch spacers do? On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being negligible and 10 being huge, how big should that change be? Thanks.

FWIW I had to grind my pro3 rear pod graphite to get my rear width the way I wanted it too>>>JUst another BONUS of owning the pro 3.. I refer to it as a builders kit.. .040 will make a big difference in how the car handles...If you move the rear out .040 on a car that was "perfect" on a given track then the car will have a tendency to push out of the corners.. again that is assuming that all was perfect before..

MURDOCKRC
11-26-2005, 01:11 AM
Not a big deal really. I ground my bottom plates back a little further but with any wheel that I have seen or tried you will still need around 40 to 60 thou in shims behind the narrow left hub to clear. It is just the design of the pod. It does matter on the shiming but really it comes down to the left rear tire position as a whole on the pod and where it lies in comparison to the left front in my opinion. I ran some mod a couple of weeks ago with this very same thing on my personal car and under no circumstances was this car going to be tight or was this a problem in any way. So in short, it is no big deal. Fire away if you need anymore help

Rob,
If I want to run the 4300 4 cell is there any advantage to the GTB speed controller vs. the SS?

MURDOCKRC
12-04-2005, 12:14 AM
Not much really going novak to novak. The GTB has better guts and a fan but other than that you will gain nothing in performance. The LRP Sphere is the way to go because the thermal cutoff is 240 degrees in comparison to the novaks at 160 degrees. Both will do brushed or brushless though. We have both in stock and the ultimate decision is yours.

Hey Rob,

Someone on here was looking for adjustable castor pins like Racetech made.

Maybe an idea for a new product.

I hate castor shims. :mad:
