Oh really....
...Or is the idiot going to take the 5TH again?......
To Racer034life, we've got a club race in Toledo (last of the year I believe) on the 22nd, then a Midwest race in Dayton the following weekend. Both should have excellent turnout, especially in pan. If some former Associated driver should run, you'll see three scratch built pans alongside factory models, and I believe we're the only place in the U.S. with people building and racing what they made themselves. Toledo club puts on a good event, especially at the club level, and you're more than welcome to come see what we're doing.

No, he bent it, but that's not what pulled it from competition. It was still driveable as regards the front end, and two minutes with a hammer fixes that prob anyhow. Aluminum, my boy, aluminum.
The pinion in the diff wasn't engaging the spur properly, allowing it to disengage. Tom just got done rebuilding it (and showing me where I went wrong at the same time) so it's good to go.
If Jon is willing, he's driving the beast at the last club race...maybe give Joe T. a little competition. I also noticed some other guy running a pan in between heats, looked VERY fast. Got a sneaking feeling that person may run pan at the last club race.
As for you, Lon, I still don't see a problem. I've got some Losi tire glue, we can glue your trigger finger to the transmitter so you can run with us. And you can soak the hand and transmitter overnight in acetone to get it back off, so no problem there either.

Jon has been very helpful to us, he's very sharp and will push it for all it's worth, GOOD LUCK!

Hmm
I was just saying that to myself earlier today. I said, "Self?" and self said "huh?" "I really need a pipe bent over my head." Jon gave us some good ideas towards the final version of the prototype, some of which we'll try to get done prior to the club race. With only a few months to go until we go into production, we need to wrap up the loose ends....and stop making stupid mistakes!

This from the guy who has yet to finish AHEAD of me, pan OR 4wd. Hmmmm. Yeah, that's right, I went there. And if you're running pan next club race, I believe you'll be running against Jon, which should be....interesting....

.....thought I could make chassis drivable......thought wrong.............new chassis stiffer with pivoting front end like all the cheater "pan" cars.........pictures to follow......and oh yeah...you'll break 20 some century.......just maybe not this one......

Heh
.............don't worry.....no chance of that happening last race......Pan has been dissected into many small parts on the bench......Davis called me insane.........so that demands a redesign ...maybe kidnap Davis and lock him in my basement with his mill till he emerges with FrankenMatt 2.0.........thought I could make chassis drivable......thought wrong.............new chassis stiffer with pivoting front end like all the cheater "pan" cars.........pictures to follow......and oh yeah...you'll break 20 some century.......just maybe not this one..........

Yeah, I know, there were two of them in that clutch stuff I bought from you, but funny thing....I can't find the stuff....

Probably just as well, if I were driving I wouldn't stand a chance either, not with the laps he was laying down. Hell, HE'S the one that should be producing pan car kits. And I'll break 20 next club race, provided I can get Rick to loan me a 15t pinion....probably won't break it by much, but it will happen.

Lol
The WRC seems to be a pretty good platform, highly manueverable, easy to set up, and is definitely a professional class pan car. It seems to have good tech and parts support, and a lot of guys getting into pan are getting that car. If you are looking to buy something right now, I'd have to recommend you buy a WRC, and if you attend a race, you should certainly be able to not only view one but talk to a driver or two that can give you more details.
