im not trippin Rb
.I,personally,like to run the track wet. I feel more comfortable driving. I have trouble running slicks on a dry track,but then again Im a one trick pony so Ive heard. I was agreeing with cuda that JC's tire compound (wear)is not what it was a year ago. We used to get a lot of run time on them. 1/8 scale,buggy,truck,really didnt have them for short course a year ago. Like I said ,the track was very fast,I crushed all my personal best (fast laps,qualifiers,and the b main in pro 2)but wasted all my SC barcodes in the process and I cannot find them anywhere!?!?

I think that the track with it's conditions made for great racing. And that is what we are here to do. This is not just a everyday race and the track should b faster and maybe wear tires in the process. Rb and the boys always advise of the running if slicks in theese conditions so I feel more than happy running my fastest laps ever and pushing the envelope For the tlr series But Dam I'm looking for some tires now too and that set of barcodes lasted for over a month b4 last night.
Lee btw ur da man and hopefully soon I will get this pro 2 vid up!!

RB thanks for ALL of your help this week!
Really, really appreciate it, from track time to painting tips and all!
TLR racing was bitchin!
JConcepts, what the F happened to your tire compound?
Killed a set of Gold Barcodes in 1 day?
Holy schnikeys!
Guess I can't be buying any more of these.
Not blaming the track in any way since I have Gold Barcodes from earlier that are still holding up after many more runs than this.
This is as bad as the days of Square Fuzzies one nite tires!
Ouch! $$$$$$$$$$

How is it possible to wear out a pair of tires that fast on indoor clay? Is their new compound that bad? I ran my Gold Bar Codes (Ve8) for 5 race days and they are still good. Although, I bought those months and months ago.

We will be getting our Mugen Eco 1/8th scale buggies in this week along with all the parts.
This buggy is awesome, I've been running it for a week now and can't say enough good things about it!
If your in the market for a new 1/8th scale you can take mine for a test drive and decide for yourself

I have had six 1/8 scale electric buggies and this one is the best by far.
I am faster with this buggy without having to push it hard.

No problem.Thats funny,thats then same thing that happened to me after Team Losi handed me my ass in the pro 2 main all day sunday.I wish I could have put down a time like I did in the b main and I would have been much happier. Thats ok though.U guys pushed me to go faster than I had gone so far to date.

You are getting faster all the time Lee. Keep it up. Learning to drive in the "dry" conditions will help you as OCRC holds other larger events. Adapting to the track takes some time. It is fun though. I like running on different types of surfaces and learning to go faster. We were all laying down some insane lap times thoughout the day. Who would have thought after I layed down fast lap of 21.3 in Pro2 last sat night to see a lot of us in the mid 20's down to a few super fast guys in the 19's
