What battery slots would you all recommend for running on paved oval tracks?

I need a custom works car today....where can I get one?

not a great time to find one, with the snow birds going on, but i am sure custom works
will have them, just give them a call.
CUrcracer, start with 3 from the rear, should get you started, how is the traction where you run?
NICK

The track is an asphalt, slightly banked oval...tires are normally reds & greens (or all greens & pinks/blues in summer) if that gives you a better idea on traction.

I need a custom works car today....where can I get one?I'm not sure if they have them in stock as they are very hard to keep right now but Fastlane in KC MO is an authorized dealer for Custom Works. You should be able to get one from them. Here is a link to their store.

E-Bay has one that I know of, search under "Custom Works", or "Oval"...............I'm Pretty sure the sellers name was "nckippy"............

Congratulation to the entire Custom Works team on an outstanding performance at the Snowbirds.

so how is the support for this car as far as getting parts ?

so how is the support for this car as far as getting parts ?

Donnie,

When it was frst released, shops did not have parts. Now some do and parts are easy to get from Customworks directly or through your local hobby shop. I just called down there, talked to Rob, and 2 days later the parts were in my mail.

Peter Coll

How many of you are running the offset t-bar, or the centered t-bar.

What should it do to the car running one or the other?
I have offset tbar now, and wondered what the car will do if I go centered?

I want to thank all of Team Custom Works for all of the help at Snowbirds, the best product support I've ever seen.

Doug, were you on a CW down there? Someone told me you were on a RIP car? Whichever, GREAT JOB!!

Later, Beach

Hey Beach, Thanks, Custom Works! The car is great everytime I run it, it gets even better. And all the Custom Works guys were very helpful, I'll expect to see you on one soon.

Doug, maybe, I might call Rob shortly, I am not sure what my plans are this summer though?

Well Beach I can assure you that you won't be disappointed with the car or the support. Looking forward to racing with you this summer.
Doug

Hey Beach, you need to get a CW and come to Seaford and play.
Our 2005 schedule is posted on: www.billdawgrc.com (http://www.billdawgrc.com).
We'll be racing 7 Saturdays during the summer. The remainder will be Friday nights. De. Paved Oval Championship Race will be June 25th. and the ORL race will be Sept. 10th.
Beach, did you get a nitro sprinter yet? I hope to make it to Newville a couple of times this summer.
Paul Townsend

Hey Paul, thinking about an aggressor, I HATE to part with my Hyperdrive car though!
Fridays, yikes, not good for me, but the 25th of june may be good. I believe I bagged the nitro deal, toooo much $$$$$$!!

Talk to you later, Beach

Hey Steve
thanks again for the pack I sold my L4 and am getting a CW. I am going to be running mostly asphalt with it. My idea was to set the car up like a L4 first then adjust from there. do you have any idea I might try? my home track is a 375ft 5 to 7 deg banked or flat oval with wide sweeping turns.

Dave 17 orange car

Dave, whats this ??...........no more box stock ? .......lol. I'm thinking of getting a cw too........ lol.

rich

Dave, what class?

Arnie 4 cell 19t



Cdog it will be at my door thrusday. the L4 was holding me back. hell Katfish beat me. that car is now forever a loser.

Arnie, I need a good 4-cell mod set up for a 190ft Snowbird style track. I sent you an email a while back but I forgot you were at the birds. Thanks in advance. bopearcy@basspro.com

Got to it before I did..... :drunk:

But he didn't hit a wall in the main, now in the qualifiers.................................that's a different story. lol

Thanks for the help on my roll out Bryon, can't wait for the regionals man.

Chad O

Thanks chad!!!! lol remember i ran my best heat before the main w/ no wall hits.

I could see if i hit the every time but for last race before it blew out was probably my best run in a very long time.

b mullins,

i own a track and i been noticing alot of that problem latley... don't know if its a bad bearing batch lately or what. it don't seem to matter what car make, it is just happening alot latley.

Congrads to Phil M. on his clean sweap and winning both classes this weekend with the same car at the ORL race winning stock and 19turn with his Custom Works AGGRESSOR along with his BSR tire's

Stay away from stainless bearings. Stainless steel is brittle in compairson.
End of problem :thumbsup: .

Later, Bret

Hey guys, first of all I do see that this is the "Aggressor" thread......thought maybe someone here could help. I am looking to buy a Enforcer GSX kit and can not find anywhere local or otherwise to do that. I have wrote to Custom Works sales about three weeks ago, with no responce from them. I live in the No. Ill--SE Wisc. area.......so if anyone knows of any shops in my area or online, your help would be appreciated.......thanks!!

Fastlane Raceway in Blue Springs MO (KC). Tell Shane I sent you. I don't know if he has any in stock but he is an authorized dealer & can get it for you.

Give them a call on Monday, I don't believe they are in the shop on Fri. Here's the # 704 489 8147.

At the Birds I ran a 116 in the main and a 120 and 118 in qualifying.
Doug P

i must have ESPN I just picked up a 116

DaveP , get that thing ready and come out THIS Sat!!!

Racindude: Due to reasons beyond our control, GBX cars will be shipping as soon as graphite is back in, roughly in 10-15 days. Don't know too many people that have any considering we are backordered a ton. I know there is one GBX Enforcer at Bumps and Jumps in Harrisburg, PA. Sorry for missing you e-mail.

DavePull and Brent:

As for 4 cell foam on asphalt....

Offset t-bar, centered pod.
Medium Wheelbase
Battery all the way to the left, just in front of the tape slot.
Speed control on the extreme back battery slot.
Reciever mounted behind the back left corner of the servo.

Left Front:
2nd narrowest position
Something like #4 Bolink lube on the pins.
Green wolfe, pre-loaded so the spring just barely returns to full extension
1.5 camber, away from the car.
Upper Arm in 2nd lowest hole.

Right Front:
3 narrowest (middle hole)
"same lube"
Red or Green Wolfe depending on track or class, preloaded in the same fashion.
1.5 camber, toward the car.
Upper Arm in lowest hole.

Servo arms swept so they aim toward the front of the car.
Ride height left vs right front.....even
Ride height front vs back......even

Center shock 50wt #2 piston stock kit spring 2nd hole from the top
Left shock 30wt Red Spring
Right shock 30wt Gold Spring
2nd hole from the top

T-bar, what you see fit for the track, I like spring steel, some people don't. I'd suggest any of our 3 t-bars depending on the type of track or how smooth the surface is.

Tweak, again do what you see fit. I normally don't let the RF get under 4oz when taking tweak out. I usually start around these numbers, LR 13.5 RR 6.5 LF 11.0 RF 5.0
If I take tweak out till the point I go under 4oz on the RF, I'll then make a chassis change (soft RF spring, harder RR tire, etc..) and reset the tweak to roughly those numbers.

Body, Protoform HD Monte on flat tracks and any thing faster than stock
Would like to try the new Dodge for stock or banked tracks.

Wing mounted on the back window, rigidly. You will see some guys mount their wing on the deck lid, makes a ton more rear bite. Also when you press the wing down if it flexes easily, it will do nothing.

Wing slid back so that the bend in wing lines up just above where the spoiler begins.
Also, with some angle to it. Not totally flat, but not as steep as the front windshield angle, in between the two.

Tires, generally in stock 4 Jaco purples, really depends on where you are at. Pinks and Purples is all you need for just about any asphalt.

That's about the huge meat and potatoes of it all, give it a try and let me know how it goes then we can go from there.

Ok grasshopper when you get a new car taking your time building it is a good idea.

Arnie Fied that isn't the set up Lamballs gave me!!!!!!! lol sweet man I try it. thanks for taking the time.

Of course it depends of your servo brand/size and servo mounting hardware...

On my car the servo holes are 3,900" from the front chassis edge (for the 10" wheelbase: front middle) ... that's with a futaba S9650 and "Trinity style" adjustable servo mounts.

Steve.
Team CW Do you have a part number for the adjustable servo mounts? I have been looking everywhere and have found none? My Aggressor is on the way and I wanted to get one for it. Thanx Ralf 13

Hi Arnie,

Nice to see you are back safe and sound. I won't bore you with questions here (I have your cell number for that....lol) but just wanted to say a public thank you to YOU for all your help and patience at the snowbirds. Between, you, Phil, Frank, Josh, Tommy and Paul, I could not have asked for better information, courtesy and support.

I expected alot and got far more....we'll talk soon.

Thanks!!!

Peter

Thanks for the set up Arnie. That one will come in handy this summer. I actually should have read Dave's question better though. I was actually looking for a good mod set up for 190' flat carpet track about the same size (maybe a little longer) as the Snowbirds. I have Steve's set up but was hoping to compare them with my two cars. The race is next weekend in Omaha NE. You can email me if you don't want to post it all here. bopearcy@basspro.com

Brent and DavePull: Check that set-up again, JPHRacer found I wrote the upper arm locations wrong. Going to edit it now.

Ralf: All we have as of now is the basic stock plastic mounts, I'm sure Steve will fill you in on the Part # information.

Al Spina Fan: Never a problem you know that. Just beat Doug.

Brent: Mod set-up for asphalt......mainly same as posted above except
3 pink and a Purple RF
Right and Left Side Red Wolfes (Front Springs)
Possibly more tweak LR somewhere in the neighborhood of 14oz.
It all really depends what the track is like, I am posting for when it has some traction on it. Aspahlt usually is never quite right the first couple weekends you run on it unless you get about 30 guys to run it in for a few hours.

I'm needing a carpet mod set up. Sorry. :wave:
