FARMERS HOBBY FRIDAY NITE OFF ROAD

[kmichael]

Greg,have you guys seen or talked to Matt Strow lately

[FARMERSHOBBY]

I have not seen him for a couple of months... When are U coming out? We are getting over 50 guys running with us. We have room for more

[abailey21]

Is Farmer's open to 1/8th electric conversions??

I bought that Losi 8 from Mike, and its almost ready, hell I'll run with nitro just to get some track time on it

[FARMERSHOBBY]

We are open to all classes so there aren't any restrictions here. Come on out and bring what you got...

[abailey21]

That'll wrk man, you'll also being seeing a lot more the Schumacher clan when the new Cat get released, I'm also trying to bring he prototype by the track between the middle to end of April if the "boss man" brings it with him

I need to make it out your way soon though, I'm almost certain we've never met

[FARMERSHOBBY]

It would be great to have you guys come out and run with us. Bring ya stuff out so we can see how it runs. Farmers is always looking for new product to stock, especially local manufacturers.

I look forward to meeting you and your crew. The more the merrier WE haven't met, but many years ago(8) I tried to get something going with Robin when we were running on-road, but he didn't seem very willing at the time...

Maybe now is better opportunity with the amount of guys that come race with us...

[abailey21]

Were the US distributor for Speed Passion and they are sending me a prototype 1/8th scale system that we will carry once the R&D is finished.

We also carry and distribute the Core LiPo's and I'm just going to wire 2 of the 2s 5000mah packs into a 4s pack.

I have Mike Meisman doing a battery tray to hold the dual Core packs, and i just picked up a motor mount from RC-monster.

Depending on when I get them system I might temporarily run a Mamba and borrow a Neu motor from a friend

Thats very cool. Shawn can help you set up the MM . I've built 3 converions in this area for other people so if you have any ? just ask. Maybe i can meet you at farmers or lake park so we can run our buggy's.

[abailey21]

Good, I'll have some people to race with

Yeah I think Shawn can work his way around a MM

But I have already learned all the tricks to the controller from him

So since you've built a couple, is there and major "fluid changes"?? I see most of them are just about the same weight so I would assume shock oil, and diff fluids are going to remain the same?

Not really i personally run between 10,000 & 20,000 in the center depending on the track. Mainly because there is so much lowend power , your tires will swell so much if you dont. Shocks are pretty much the same, Maybe go up in weight by 5 or 10. I would set it up like a nitro first & see how you like it.

[FARMERSHOBBY]

Yes we are racing as long as guys show up From the calls, seems like there should be a good turnout. Andy Moore is coming and many others......

The track is in very good shape...... We will run anything that you guys bring out Many calls from electric racers from outside the area seems to be the trend.

[abailey21]

You really think you can handle the dirt? You have the cleanest TC on earth, some would venture to call your TC somewhat "man-groomed" or "metro-sexual"

I have nothing to run but I'll try and make it out to say hi!
