Why do you keep crashing in the same place?

If you insist on keep crashing in the same place, do more laps in the track reverse direction.

bring your bag of rights down and team hack could probably fix your over supply problem in 5 easy minutes.

I find a well placed traxxas works for me. They rip arms off ae's quite well. Especially if stopped near the end of the straight on the racing line
The forthcoming appologies defuse the situation quickly

Dan have you read Ray's posts on using 44 arms on the 4.1?
They are different but he uses them for a reason. Between the box of hack spares im sure we could sort you out.

I wish in could figure out how to link to another thread. There was a table explaining it all.
Go to the VORTEC thread under AUSTRALIAN EVENTS its on the last page.

As far as too many cars. You got me into the pal, and i havent filled the memory on the spextrum yet
all you do is, copy & paste the web address, (from your address bar)

then click the link icon (above, globe with chain link)

Paste the web address in. And whalla. http://http://www.rctech.net/forum/australian-racing/87350-knox-offroad-vic-787.html
hope this helps.

had the same on Friday, stopped half way down the straight in the middle. BAM, AT FULL NOISE. A few more close calls before they listened to pull off and call out if they crash on the track... All good

I seriously think there are days when you dont put your buggy on the track.
I allways warn people with buggys and they say "Ill be careful".
Its got nothing to do with you being careful
Talking about "I called it", race lines and ettiquette doesnt mean much when your picking the pieces of your pride and joy up from the end of the straight.
Grumbling in the carpark about those shortcourse/ truck guys using the track doesnt make them go away either.
Get a shortcourse! Its wheel time! Then pull the buggy out when its quiet or on the odd occasion when we/you outnumber them.

I was the SC truck they were the buggy.
I find my SC buggy can tangle with SC trucks ok.

Agreed - I have had my share of being run over too! Now I can return the favour on practice weekends.

Discretion is the better part of valour.
I have parked my car and walked off the track when there are erratic drivers on course.
You can always find something to adjust on yr ride whilst waiting for the numbnuts to break something whilst bashing...

I only bought my SC Truck for fun, but I actually like thrashing it on race days ! you can tell by the 1/2 roll of duct tape holding it together... The other 1/2 is holding my sons one together.

During practice however, I stay away from the buggies - I know how crap it is to be testing your set up you've worked on to have an arm ripped off, and a shock bent etc...

Yeah it is hard sometimes with both buggies and SC on the track, if i am running my shortcourse and someone turns up wiht a buggy i will either run half a lap ahead/behind them to keep distance, or i will get my buggy out and give that a run or visa versa, i would much prefer to take my car off the track than risk it getting totalled...

Funnily enough it was a Turnigy E-Guana that I tangled with when I broke the rear hub on the buggy, not an SC.

But yes, time for a short course truck. If only to be able to stay on the track when when everyone else is running them.

And thanks to my bro Slashdad for the spare rear hub!
