Another great time racing tonight, thanks Mark. I love the window, and it looks like there's enough pit space for a ton of people. A lot of close races, I even finally felt like my car started to come around tonight and the driver did ok too. I just might have a little "Iceman" left in me. I'm sure I just jinxed myself.

Place is looking good Mark! The windows sure dress things up....and the new pit arrangement looks good. (Always a good problem when you need more pit tables) Hopefully professor Jari has a few car setup tips for me....and I'll be back to give it another try in a couple weeks. Florida is on the agenda next week...including a stop at the Snowbirds to cheer for Big Dan.

Ok Colin rub it in a bit more about taking leave of the permafrost wasteland we live in. Hope you have a good trip. :tire:

Thanks to the guys who pitched in last night and let me play a bit. It was fun to run with you guys. :nod:

Yesterdays racing was a blast once again!! With the size heater that was in the pit area, it looked like the sun was setting!!!

yesterday was a lot of fun. next week all you mini guys better watch out, i'm finally gettin' it figured out!

Rick I do have the standard GTB in stock. I hear the only difference is the fan on top of the esc, which is removable.

The new heater was to match the Sunny disposition of the tanning racers. :nod:

Another fun day of racin' at the Barn in the books! Nice & tight layout to get the fingers loosened up from the cold weather outside! :nod:

[B]its race day, can't wait to break something :nod:

Got a new 12th chassis to play with, my mechanic is a little slow in building it though, as he doesn't have thumbs.. Here he is popping the last damper tube on for the final touch on the bare chassis build, next comes radio, hope no whiskers are lost on the hot soldering iron....

Nice ride Jeff it will be cool to see how it runs. !!! The Teeth mark chasis preparation is a speed secret ?

Rick - Jaco double pinks ? Parma doesn't make them.

Race day
 

2pt increase Rick :P

What a night, new track record, TQ was decided by .03 seconds (Joe you lucky buggar). I'm really impressed with the good driving etiquette of all drivers, really good clean races. I'm still wondering wher Gary's "hire gun" driver was hiding tho, he and Nate are inproving fast.

Mark, if you are looking for double pink rears, Jaco makes them... No teeth marks, he's actually pretty gentle... And he wrenches on Helis too!

here's a pic of the senior mechanic of the house(17 years), checking paddle alignment on the Trex....

Please be kind and recycle, old RC car boxes make great cat beds... The boys wont let me take this one away, they also use it as a surfboard-sled, run and slide!

Holy Cow Ffejdat, that is a lot of pussy hanging around your place.......

Mitch- Pimpin ain't easy! You probably remember Tiger, the old cat on the box, he's 17 and the new cat, Simba, is 8 months, fun combo....

Hey Ffej, it's Marshall here. How've you been, man?

Good stuff Jeff !!! Somehow I knew the jokers would come out :nod:

Rick GTB 4cell is in, and tires will be in Mon.

Is this where all the cool kids are racing in the cities now days? :D

I still have my big r/c bag, soldering iron, and pinions... Just a few things short! Oh how I miss the days of r/c racing. I wish I had the money to get back into it right now. :cry:

Travis - The mini class is as cheap as you can get. For a few hundred you can be playing. Check out the forums at my site thercbarn.com. If you want to try one come on down on a practice night.

So what mini's are most people running? I have no clue what is out there since I have been out of the game for a while.

The new rage may be the new recoil. See this thread. http://www.thercbarn.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=86

Its kind of like a mini TC4 and about as tunable, and MAP (minimum advertized Price) is $169.99. Its Ready to run with rubber tires, foam tires will be out in a few weeks. A set of 4 tires will price out close to what a pair of the 10th scale would. Parts are cheap and the fun factor is huge !

The 18t truck from Associated priced around the same ball park, is the biggest class for mini's right now. Some of the people running these trucks are doing similar lap times to the 10th sedans.

Attached a pic of mine...

Shock oil that comes in the shocks is about 20w. Replaced that with some 70w, and things feel much better. Looking forward to wheeling the car on Sunday! Should be a hoot!

That recoil looks hot. Does this run in the same class with other mini's or will it be in its own class since it is 1/14 and not 1/18 scale?

I think if we can get enough guys running them, they'd be in their own class, but for now they'll all run together. They Recoil isn't really that much bigger than an 18T.

Here's a side by side comparison pic from one18th.com...it's a small pic, but you get the jist of the size comparison. The Recoil is a little longer, but almost an inch narrower.

thanks mark, are you going to let me run brushless tuesday? :nod:

I'm fine with it if everyone else is .

Great time racing tonight, I gotta try and make more Tuesday nights... To everyone else in the "A" tonight, you might want these back.... :sneaky:

I THINK THOSE ARE ALL MINE :nod:

Hey Ffej, are you able to fit that head through standard sized doorways, or do you need to enter and exit through the loading dock? LOL
