knapster did you order your sprint car i got mine

Not yet, I'd love to order it tomorrow but, I'll have to wait unitl I sell a few thing first.

 

Would have liked to be out there working on our cars to, but I'm still looking for a head button for a NS12S3, or another mt.12 crankcase. I have Jeff's car ready, need to order a bumper for that one. He can't wait to try it out.

 

Ted, Jesse may have one he'd be willing to let you use.

 

Great Idea Fred. Does anyone know how to get ahold of Jeff H. I would like to get that TR he wants to sell so I can get my car going. Last years motor still runs like junk. Anyone have any thoughts on making some of the bigger races in the area? I would love to do some like the Great Lakes or Midwest Seires. If so post here or e-mail me jerrodglover@hotmail.com

 

I'll be sure to stop by. I get out of work at 4:30 so I won't be able to participate in the racing festivities. See you guys there.

Jerrod, The last time I talked with Jeff he did'nt seem willing to part out his nitro stuff. He wants to sell as a package deal.
I was thinking of doing some midwest seires and perhaps the on road paved nats, but I have'nt made any decisions as of yet. Jesse has mentioned doing some traveling. I believe Steven wants to do the paved nats.

 

Anyone wanting to get a jump start on the outdoor season, Riders hobby shop (Grand Rapids) parking lot is up and open for practice. This will be the last open practice before the start of the season. The lot was repaved last year and is still in great shape! The drivers stand is up and the boarders are down. Whether wise last weekend was great and this weekend is looking O.K.
Temp's should be in the 60's. Come on out, what are you waiting for?

 

What did everyone run last year with there electric sedan? Rubber or foam??

 

Jimmie - We ran 19 turn motors, with rubber tires. Sorex 36's are a good all-around choice, one set will probably last all summer.

Where do you get Sorex 36's tires at? can i get them at hobby world or riders?or do i go online to find them ?

 

Rider's can get them if they don't have them in stock. If you want to order online, I recommend www.kthobbies.com - good stuff, good prices, & really fast shipping. I also ordered a set of the Take-Off CS-27's. They're supposed to work well, & a set of 4 pre-mounted runs about $30.

Denney

 

Denney do they come with inserts?

 

If you get the Sorex's (~$25-27 for 4 tires), you will also need inserts & wheels. Personally, I like HPI Red, or Green inserts with HPI wheels (all 24mm size). Through KT Hobbies, this combo would be about $36-40. I usually like to run a little softer tires than some of the guys (Sorex 32's, or 28's), but by the time you get 3 full sets you've got ~$120 into it. That's why I thought I'd try the Take-Off's...you can get the softer (CS-27) & harder (CS-32) compounds together for ~$60.

Denney

 

Both Sorex and Takeoff produce 4-packs of their tires that are pre-built. Those are definitely worth the money since the inserts and rims are very good. Plus, they are cheaper (at least they have been in the past) than buying all the pieces individually. And, the best part of all - you don't have to glue them!

For stock TC the Sorex 36s are probably going to be a little too hard. 27s and 32s are typically good for stock TC.

Hey Fred, Are they going to be leaving the drivers stand where its at now, or do they plan on moving it?

 

Hey, I need you guy's help here. I talked to Tom at Rider's tonight, and he needs to know what we're gonna need as far as parts and tires. He plans on stocking Sorex, but he wants to know what else we need.

 

Fuel would be nice last year it was a problem

 

Hey Fred, Are they going to be leaving the drivers stand where its at now, or do they plan on moving it?

I understand that the driver stand can be moved in place when the track is in use, but you'll need to move it back to the east end of the track when your done with it. Where it sits now is where Riders want to store it.

 

Thats cool Tom willing to do that.

 

MMMMMM,

nitro


I can smell the fumes now... isn't it great:dude:

 

I'm just hoping enough guys show up to run mod rubber. Can't really see a bunch of 19t guys being to happy with me and my brushless sedan. But I'm ok with that. It would leave me much needed time to improve my Golf game. Actually, instead of improve, it's more like learn. It's ugly....

 

Yah, its nice. Ive already hit the riders track a couple of times. Im glad i get to work the bugs out now instead of race day.
