Sorry guys, life happened agin. The ignition switch on the wifes car went out. I went to to the dealer and got one $160 later I have a new switch in hand. Way easy to put in but...it did not work. I found out this morning there was a straw jammed in the shifter that kept it from working. Not that my 8 year old knew anything about it.
Of course the parts dept is closed on Saturday.
I'll unpack the stuff and try again for the next one. Too nice of a track to keep missing out.

Weather worked out great all day long. Some good racing in SCT and buggy. Good to see some old faces back out there running again.
Congrats to Brent on the buggy win. 1st, 2nd and 3rd within about 4 seconds at the end of eight minutes. It was fun to watch. Maybe next weekend I'll put my buggy back together and run some laps with everyone.
Uno de Mayo was muy bueno!!

Sorry for da long post, its late, wifes asleep, I'm bored.
How was the SCT race?
I'm bumed we missed another raceday. Specialy with weather like we had. I bet the TurtleTrack was in tip top condition. Stinkin baseball is eating up all our time.
We did get our RC fix Friday night at Dalton Raceway. We where just spectators but we got some great info for my buddy's 1/8th nitro truggy thats been giving us fits.
: We also had an awesome time watching and shooting the bull till almost 1 am. 
I finally got a brushless motor in the SC10 so Taylor won't be making the brushed motor stink bombs any more.
We are running the SC10 with an LRP Vector X-11 13.5 with LRP Sphere ESC and I have it geared at 75/23. Does anybody else have anything to compare with? I had it geared 75/24 and I made a 10 minute run with a couple pit stops to check temps. After 10 minutes on the backyard dirt track, my temp gun (my index finger) said it was close to the upper limits heat wise. I could leave my finger on the can for a quick 4 count and not a millisecond longer. Thats why I dropped a pinion tooth, that and the fact that TT is pretty tight and technical.
Adam, have you started gearing your SC10? Did you run it? Where are you running the battery? I was told to mod the battery hold down to run the battery all the way back.

Right now I've got the boost dialed way up on that 21.5 and its almost as fast as Bo, and Richards SCT's on 13.5 and 17.5, I just dont have the punch off the line.
I'll be more than happy to lend a hand with gearing when ya'll make it by though. I have a temp gun and a box of pinion's we can try until you figure out which one you need to buy

Delusions of Grandeur noun - a delusion (common in paranoia) that you are much greater and more powerful and influential than you really are. Often referred to as the "Deet Da Deez" or "TIMMAY!!!" in North America.

That's pretty much how I wake up every morning. Big Plans for racing, take no prisoners, Dang the torpedoes!. Then by noon I'm still working on the honey'do list. By late afternoon I start wondering where the day went, the cars are still sitting here.

I would suggest that you go down about 3-5 teeth on the pinion. If it's hot in the backyard, it will be much hotter on the track. 75/23 is what people are using with the 17.5 motors. 75/18 will let the motor run much cooler and last much longer. Also, you won't miss the reduction in top speed at all.
