Thanks,

Hey Ray,

The heavy tube lube is similar to losi reg. weight or slightly thinner. The light tube lube is thinner than losi light. It is most comparible to 100 wt. shock oil.

Brant - email me. [email protected]

we have awesome bearings at killer prices. The portion of the website for bearings will be updated soon, but for now email me for pricing.

Dear sir: Could you please tell me what size bottles it's available in, the color of each viscosity, it's thermal breakdown point, and temperature sensistivity overall? Also, is it Non-Toxic?

Thanks for the info on the servos. I like the KO, but I will probably get either the airtronics or futaba.

Thanks,

Can anybody please advise what tire arbor they are using to true their tires, we have been using the new CRC rim, and the hudy, eagle(integy) and corrally (AE style) do not work.

stormperson 11-17-2003 08:08 PM

The CRC rims should fit any standard 3 bolt (probably even 2) arbor. Sometimes a little forcing is nessessary. I know that the Corbra arbor works, as well as the hudy/ofna ones. However, more importantly what kind of truer do you have?

Cars for Indoor Carpet Racing Stock
 
I have been reading the site for the last week. I have picked up some good information. However, I have a couple of questions.

The only mention of a corally car is the final standing from the Florida Series. I have raced a corally car for the last 12 years. Purchased a new 12M and now have the dampner tube. Question - Can this car be a winner ???? Not listed in any mention of T-Plate Cars

I race in Denver, with a lot of Doug Powels cars, 12L3, Carpet Knife and SpeedMerchants. What are the strenths and weakness of these cars???

I quess I am try to decide to stay with the Corally, or change to something.

Thanks for the input.

:rolleyes:

I have a hudy manual, but that would not make a difference, as a lathe is essentially a wiper motor on a stand with a solid arm with which to cut, the arbor is the part that spins it true, all arbors we have tried will not make the rim sit true, please supply a part #, also similar request, what arbor fits TRC tires, and is there one arbor that does BOTH front and rear?

ChrisP 11-18-2003 05:13 AM

We run a lot of Corally's at the local club races here and they seem to do quite well. The top drivers seem to be the top drivers no matter what chassis they run (4-cell stock)

I think the reason you don't see more Corally is the questionable parts supply in North America...

The other kits use Associated parts as the major basis for their consumables (Axles, suspension, etc)...

If you look at Europe you'll probably see Corally dominating and the others poorly represented.

If you're thinking of making a change I'd hold back a little bit as new cars from CRC, CEFX and others I'm sure will be unveiled for the Indoor Champs in Cleveland.

I just trued 10 sets of front and rear CRC tires last night with the Integy arbor. Worked great for me.

RC Paperboy 11-18-2003 06:02 AM

The only truer Ive ever used that cut true was a Cobra trackside and a maxmod. Ive used an OFNA arbor and it was terribly out of round.

Just an idea, you could try having an arbor made for you at a machine shop, it might cost a little more, but youd know it would work.

stormperson 11-18-2003 06:19 AM

The ofna arbor is pretty bad after a little while. The Hudy one which clamps tight around the entire shaft instead of the set screw like the ofna is also a better design.

The Corally is a decent car. The parts support is not that great in the US. Also IMO its pretty out to lunch on carpet in comparison to the rest of the t-plate and links cars. I think it would be a little bit of a learning curve but, if you race on carpet you will most likely go faster.
