Hudy setup equipment for offroad, I'm torn. CR is right on the offroad concepts, but when i used one on my buggy for the first time, i was very far off on camber and toe. Its probably most usefull for setting front toe out, because there is no real good way to measure that accurately without a setup system, that I know of anyway. I guess you measure the distance from the corners of the wheels.

see you guys sunday.

Everyone say a prayer for Bubba Watson as he sleeps on the lead at the US OPEN!!! Its not only the biggest golf tournament in the world, its the most democratic! Its open, it dont matter if your a lousy driving range pro whose checks signed by a stripper, they cant keep you out! You qualify, you're in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little known fact - Chuck Meyers is a member in good standing of the USGA who successfully returned a score within 10 shots of the course slope rating at a US Open qualifier, maintaining his eligibility to qualify for the Unites States Open Championship!

That was a blast! I hope that Shawn and I can come up again soon, I will need to do some work to the Revo first though, his starter broke at the end of the day. Is there usually more people at the track on Sundays? Thanks for all the helpful advice too.

-Steve

Doug, where was the website you had mentioned about the diff fluids? I am going to get rid of the grease in the Hyper ST and put some diff fluid in.

Thanks again guys.

Steve - Good job today. Its an accomplishment just to keep 2 cars running all day and your Hyper 8 looked very good right out of the box.

Chuck/Doug/Lee tried the lipo thing last year I wished I joined them, but I just wasnt ready. So far this year, I've been amazed at how easy they are to use. I never even removed the battery from my T4 today.

CR - I sent you a PM.

I've been at the track the last two sundays, watchin, seeing how things roll. I really like the Nitro buggies and trucks, those electric ones are ok, but the sound of a nitro engine cant be beat!! I really liked that silver/gray Picco turbo buggy today, the one with the red shocks, That thing was flying around the track. The Last race of the day though my favorite was the blue and white buggy. It was running alittle sluggish earlier but seemed to get a good tune up, and was running awsome at the end of the day.

I brought my brother, and a good friend out to check it out. They really liked it and it inspired my friend to buy a Tmaxx. I have a nitro truck too, 1/10 scale. once i get my new motor, and shocks we're both going to become members. But for now just checking things out.
Keep up the good racing,

Drifthead - I think I was talking to you a little bit about your 1/10 and getting into some racing. So far, so good. The best thing you've done so far is get to the track, watch some races, and found out what you liked. Thats going to make it a lot easier for you when you race.

The class your interested in is by far the most popular right now, 1/8 Buggy, and there are a lot to choose from. I would strongly recommend the Losi 8ight (the silver buggy) or the Jammin X1CR (That is what I was driving - the blue/white/black one). The Losi has an edge in performance, but the Jammin is slightly more reliable. The other option is the Sportsworks Turmoil which is very good package. And you cant go wrong with buggies from Kyosho or Mugen either.

Make sure you check with Chuck or Doug at the Race Station before you buy anything, they will steer you in the right direction.

You were right about my buggy in the Main - it was a lot better - but it wasnt engine tuning, it was tires and a sway bar adjustment. If you can pick up the throttle just a 1/10 of second earlier through a corner, or carry more speed, it will make your car appear to have more power.

Good luck and I hope we see you on the track soon.

I know from past experience that Mugen makes a great buggy.

Ed,

So I was thinking about what you said during our XBL race that the new Ruster VXL RTR might make a great Stock Series truck.

I think you might be on to something.

The esc will handle 3 cell Lithium packs and comes RTR.

For $325 you get a decent vehicle and if you could hold people to out of the box it could be real fun. The LiPo can be mounted permenantly and could give some serious run time. The Rustler has been around FOREVER and has some of the cheapest replacement parts. I know most people either love or hate Traxxas, but you have to give kudoos to them for thinking this one up. Great idea to throw a brushless in a proven(cheap) machine to keep costs down.

Are you still thinking about this one?
