I've always thought it would be great if we could get some kind of weekly series going with the mini's in Calhoun. I hardly ever get to make it out on a weekend either, but if there was something going on during the week I could probably do it. Tuesday Night Mini's!

mondays or tuesdays either one would be good for me. i am new to racing (been in rc for years mostly planes) but eager to get going...

Just call Tommy and see if he will host on tuesday night. Mini's only. It should be a short night if thats all you are running.

I just wonder if we would have enough locals to make a night of it. I had mentioned trying to get some sort of weekly or bi-weekly "league" of mini's going at Primetime and didn't get any response. I guess most people would have to drive too far for a short night of racing. We could always take a head count though to gauge interest I guess. I'll count me, so that is one!

By the way Snoopy...what does B.M.O.S stand for? I've been wondering that for a while now.

As a matter of fact I am! All of this time I've been a sponsored driver and didn't even know it.

i would be in....i still need to get a transponder though.. also if one of you local guys have one...i just bought a 2pl futaba and i need a 75mhz reciever to get my digital going.. till then i have a factory tamiya transmitter.

also do any of the locals have a car (1/12 or whatever the others yall race) for sale or trade? i have a tmaxx that i would consider trading, but don't want to get gyped..

Shaggy - I have an Associated 12L3 for sale, like new. Only raced it once on carpet before I upgraded the chassis and essentially built a new car in the off-season. $60 OBO. Check out this thread for pictures. I will be at Prime Time on 1/26 if you want to check it out in person.

Any battery should be good. I bought a mini at PT a couple of months ago. I've lowered the ride height a little, changed my spur, changed out the shocks to oil filled and thats about it. No chance in keeping up with Joe but I dont get lapped as much now Oh an I run everything from 1500, 3300 and during the races usually 4200.

shaggy8

kool. ive got rear turn in uprights,oil shock, stablizers, and waiting on my bearings to come in...ive been looking at ball diff but i think im gonna wait and see how it runs, i water dipped my motor, and put a new set of hpi tyres on it so i am anxoius to see

shaggy8

the way it looks right now i am gonna get to go to pt and do some practice this mon,tues,or wed. i dont have a transponder,but if anyone wants to try to meet let me know the time. ican go early or late except for mon(it would have to be before 3pm)
