Around The Table With Paul Lemieux(RC-America/Thunderpower)
#916
Hey Paul-
For rubber tire, what do you think of the new proline R9-R body in comparison to the mazda 6, speed 6 and dna 2.
Hunter and I are running the DNA2, I kinda like the looks of the R9-R but how does it perform. Not sure if you did any testing with it or not and wondered where it fell in comparison to the others. Thought I'd ask.
Thanks..
Mike

Thanks Paul,for your nice and clear explanation.
Jilles run with a 3.5SP an myself running at that time 4.0SP, sorry its not TRINITY.
Reading your information i understand that i've have to look how smooth the car is running (rubbertyres) and probably give it not more steering angle than nescesarry to keep up with the turns to rule out as much as possible friction.
Thanks Ed

While I'm not Paul Lemieux, I'm pretty sure i know the answer to this. I have personally not ran the body, but from the local racers who have ran it and from watching the forum about the body, it sounds like it is a very aggresive body, much more aggresive than speed 6, mazda 6 or dna 2.

Thanks Paul, my question is because when i use to much steering i feel the car looses speed, and the wheels vibrate and when i see you guy´s racing you use very little steering, so i thought that you guy´s are so fast and have so much runtime because use less steering and not blocking the car speed.
Have you gone to thailand pratice. Have you tried the new ECS drive shafts.

paul since you skipped over me (by accident) here is my questions again.
What did it do when you cut down the steering blocks on your TC ?
Will you be using lipo batteries at the upcoming big races?
Will you be at the Halloween classic?

Because of the specific rules for brushless motors the general concept and size is the same on the new motors. but with that being said their are allot of things different. it has a timing ring and timing is easily adjusted, also the sensor and endbell assymbly is very secure, the design from top to bottom is all Jim Dieter's work, the Stack material and shape/thickness/#lamiations, rotor material, shaft. everything was Designed and tested by Trinity. I think that it is the most unique Brushless motor under this set of rules that i have seen.

No i dont. i have ballanced tires before only to run them and have them right out of ballance again, possibly worse. I think in a off road truggy or a bigger tire it is usefull. In vegas i put ballance numbers on my tires 10 being badly out, and a 1 being good. after running a 10 was a 5 and a 1 was a 6 so i didnt bother balancing them atall.
Cutting your steering blocks will give the car more steering going in to the corner, it will also make the car more twitchy and reactive.
Im not totally sure but i think that i will be running lipo at cleveland, the worlds is the last race that sub c's are required that i will be attending for a while.
no I wont be at the Classsic, im just trying to get ready for the worlds.
good luck at the classic, paul.
Hi Jeremy, I told Nick to let me know if he is coming so i could be their for sure. maybe ill see you then. later

Hi, Paul, will it have a significante diference in using diferent lenght shafts.
Are you using the original oring for your shocks or could it be a diferent brand like MM, Hara tamiya...
