Come to the GLC. You will really enjoy it. And we kinda like the Capricorn C03 a little ourselves

So, we just ran the Asphalt Attack here in Edmonton, Alberta. There weren't as many nitro cars out as I had hoped for, but it was a ton of fun. I was able, to TQ, set fast lap of the weekend, and win the finals. Thanks to the folks here who sold me their CO2's and moved to the CO3!! I only had one issue all weekend, and that was trying to remove the bearings from the clutch bell. It is almost as if they were press-fit in. When I tried to tap the front bearings out, the inner races pushed through, the balls fell out but the inner races are still in the bell. The back bearing came out, but with great effort and the bearing is now wrecked. I was trying to remove the bearings to remove the gears, as they were worn and needed replacing. Any suggestions for easy bearing removal would be appreciated. :no

Sounds like those bearings were pretty old and not oiled recently. With normal clutch bearing maintenance you won't see the problem you described. The clutch bearings take a lot abuse especially in long races. At the least, you should go through your clutch after each race meeting and before a long main.

I guess that's one of the joys of buying used! Good news is, the used also came with enough spare parts to run for 5 years! I am going to try and round up a handful of guys to make the trip down to Florida for the race in February. I am looking forward to making that happen and meeting some new folks and fellow racers.

Anyone have a good starting setup for the Greater LA Race club track? I'm running the Ko Propo end of this month and was looking for a good starting point.

Try this as a starting point for Ko Race. If traction comes up or if you need help, just come see me. I will be there at the event. If you drill the pistons to 1.2 then use 80 or 800 wt oil in the shocks.

Are there any Capricorn folks attending the Nitro World Challenge at Full Throttle in early December?

dj apolaro

For sure there will be some. I plan to be there and we will have the trailer set up. As well there are always out of town racers and the racing is very tight. Is always a fun event and this year should be just as good.

I am trying to convince my wife that this would be a fun vacation for us (my son and me) but she is already on edge with our karting budget!!

Hope someone will give me the mounting hole spacing of the Cap Lab co3 receiver box. Want to try using on a different car but would like to know dimensions before ordering. Thanks
