Good job this week end Paul ! when is the Xray challenge at Jackson ?

Have you used the Thunder Power 60c 6000 battery yet, does it have any benefit over the 5200 50 or 5000 40C?

Thanks

Hi guys, sorry for the delay. just goy settled back at home after a race.



Hi. Grooved thrust rings are not good, the thrust simply needs to be as free and smooth as possible. the grooves will bind up the thrust slightly more than a thrust ring with no grooves. i would still ise the thrust rings but simply flip them so the flat side is running on the thrust balls.
Thanks!

Yup, as Andrew says below its ralph or brian.

Thanks

Hi, I do use drag brake but not a ton, i also use push brake but normally only in a situation which i am about to overshoot the corner. I always use the same epa (inside tire touching the caster block always). I find that i am not all that smooth with the wheel but i am super smooth with the throttle and try not to blip the throttle threw the corner unless necissary to try and get the car to slide. i think it is important to be smooth with the throttle BC if you spin the tires your side bite will be broken. I am on the throttle as soon as possible without getting the car loose or off line, if it gets loose or off line in any section on power i wont get on it as early in that corner anymore.

What are you breaking? what class are you running? I use the hard bumper on my car and it will help some with breaking.

Yup, standard hexs in the rear will help give you a little more on power steering, also you could try the smallest shim possible of kick up in the front, .4mms will make a big difference, the car will pick up steering all around.

adding camber all around will give the car a little more traction, 3 deg being the most traction. if i had a car that was ballanced and handled well with 1deg of camber all around, i would use 2degs all around and most likely have more overall traction and corner speed.

Thanks guys!

Thanks Kev, You too. Im sure when the challange in Jackson is, sorry.


I am using the 5300 65c in my TC right now and the 5400 65C in my 12th scale. the benifit with more run time in stock would be that the voltage should stay higher threw the run and not tail as much as it would with a lower run time battery. the benifit for Modified would be that the battery would simply be faster. the difference from low C to high C with the Thunderpower batterys in Modified is the Higher C's ability to discharce faster under extreme load situations. I will be getting back to more battery testing soon , but in recent months the motors have been my no1 priority.

Thanks

Hey Paul, thought I would post a link on your thread to Jason's video. Hope you don't mind

It is my understanding under the dirt is the surface that years ago another young driver honed his skills to become a well respected champion.

Thanks for the help and guidence, Keith and Jason.

Something still just doesn't sit right about that place being filled full of dirt.

Scotty is getting huge turnouts for his offroad program. Something like 75-100 entries on weeknights and 100-150 on the weekend series not to mention his special events. And yet, I will have to agree with you.

That's happening where I race too. It seems like TC is dying. Trying to find a way to revive it.

Come to NJ! We had four on-road trophy events last year with over 100 entries. The season opener had 150+, and the season closer took 24hrs just to run the first race.

Paulie, looking forward to having you back out to Jackson for the Paved Nats!

What class? Electric or nitro?

Greg Sharpe

Electric mainly, but we do get a couple heats of 1/10 nitro TC at the trophy events.

Hi Keith, sorry we havent talked in a while. been busy as im sure that you are also. Nice Video! thanks.

Ill be hanging around the dirt with Chase more often as soon as things settle down a bit for me. No problem, See ya!

I except it, its what is best for the hobby in this area right now. Plus, Winthrope harbor is not that far away, and it has served as a great track for me to keep up with practice and testing.



After just coming back from the On Road nationals at Timezone, I am accually optomistic about on road as a whole. Entrys were up, their were new Kids that attended and were Super fast, and It seems like people are a starting to buy things and race again, where as one year ago they would have been afraid would be obsolete in a week.

Nice, Glad to hear that the track is going strong. cant wait to come back for the nats, beautiful track their.
