Niiiice,
I'm still cleaning mine... I purchased a JR 9000 for the steering problem I was having last week! I was telling you the steering was really weak and slow..... Well this thing has 128 oz of torq and does 60 degrees in .06 seconds. I'm thinking that should be enough..... Can't wait to finally try and make some money off this dang thing! :lol:

lanerbrainer205 09-06-2007 04:59 PM

Dirt... let me remind you to HEAT SHRINK YOUR CVDs! I am goin to after I saw that :lol: I hope mines a lil more reliable this time around... hopefully I will make it in the A-main! That servo sounds pretty nice man... I would put that spektrum servo in for the throttle servo since you were havin a lil trouble with strength on it too. I will be able to clear the triple now that I actually have preload :rolleyes: also no more ear shattering pipe falling off... oooh also longer run times! Ill pm u bout that... its a secret :sneaky:

Dirt McGirt 09-06-2007 05:40 PM

I purchased those "condoms" for the cvds! HAHAhA! I should get them Friday...
I still need a receiver pack though!

Dirt McGirt 09-09-2007 07:50 PM

Niiiiice racing
 
Workin on the vid now... I had some good runs but I kept having technical difficulties!!!! :lol: At one point my bad a!$ JR 9000 ripped all the screws out the servo/battery trey! Then it worked the servo saver loose to the point the steering locked up... In the 20 Min A-main I had a decent run going until one of my front piston rods decided to pop out.... It was 16 minutes into the race! So it was a wrap! That was some fun racing though!!!!! :nod::nod:

I liked the way he ran the races and the layout is awesome This is one track i will be going back to soon

snoopyrc 09-09-2007 08:50 PM

Yeah Dions an ACE at track details. He specifically made plans for this track to show the glory of Nitro and yet be functional for 1/10.

By the way PM me if you want an avatar for this forum.
