Angry Taking a ride on the old break train!

Wyd,

Still the same old stuff. You break as quick as you hit it and it does wonders to your car. When I break I go out with a bang for sure! Tire wear, wow one weekend of running and my tires are shot. Nothing is left on them. O well, I think I finshed 9th or 10th out of 11 there. I decided to go home early and take the points without racing! I might of gotten 8th place if everything worked out nicely. O well, there's next time right. Yup that's all I have to say.

Glad I raced at Frederick this weekend then for sure. Those pipes are an early way to send a car to RC graveyard.

Good job everyone this weekend. I would have stopped by ORL WC yesterday, but I got back from NY too late. See everyone this weekend!

Danny boy, you gotta get the car set-up, FIRST, before you fly around the track. An inconsistent car will cause you to make silly mistakes and tag the pipes, road dome, boards, etc..

I, on the other hand, fell prey to the "glitch bug" and decided not to run the main. I just needed to make a gearing change to get the car faster but I knew, If, I kept taking radio hits the additional speed would just increase my chance of breaking or cause someone else to crash / break or both. I don't know whom I should thank, for moving the driver's stand positioned next to the building (it's original location!) to the opposite side with the other half - the O.R.L. who just wouldn't listen to reason or Paul (race track Director) who left it up to the O.R.L., to do what they wanted. Either way, I got screwed, pretty good. They forced the nitro guys to race from over there, too.Yeah, you guessed it, I also run Nitro.

Quinn - You need to think about converting over to Spektrum. Zero GLITCHES!! I have not had one since I switched and it's worth the money to be able to practice anytime and turn on your car in the pits with no worry about frequencies or interference hits! A+++++ product.

Hey, that new D.A.R.T system has me interested in converting over, and the Rx has built in transponder! Can some of you rich guys out there give it a try and let me know how good it is ???? LOL

Will transponder work with the amb system, it seems to me like it wouldn't or they might lose their monopoly on personals.

Yup, the $160 did not go easily, but the best R/C investment I have ever made.

Yeah... I know ALL about it. The dollar signs are the problem. My tire bills are killing me (and you guys want to run rubber!?). Nah.. just need to free up some cash for it.
