My plan is stock buggy and mod truck.

Larrydewalt17 02-26-2012 08:55 AM

I put a lil bit of money in my stadium truck so hopefully we have a turnout for them.

Honda450R Dude 03-15-2012 07:12 PM

is anyone running 4wd sc this year?

j rabbit 03-15-2012 09:02 PM

From the sounds of it there wont be any 1/8 scale or 4wdsomething class period

ssmilie 03-16-2012 06:07 AM

Zane, if you can run something in the 1/8th class like the 4wd SC you did last year we may have a class. I know Tim still has his 1/8th and I would love to run mine. I am also talking to a kid that has a Stampeed 4wd that wants to run it. It would be a missmatched class of 4wd vehicals and I am sure we could run points but there would be no trophy for it. Let me know if you have any interest in that. Maybe Tim will put his two cents in on this also. Something eles you could do is talk to Andy, he has a 4wd SC with a oval body on it, maybe he would run that offroad. I am with you on wanting to see some kind of bigger 4wd class like the SC4wd or 1/8th but I don't know if enough other people want it right now. This year I can't get a 4wd SC to run either. I have the 1/8th but that's it for now.

biggs11268 03-16-2012 07:19 AM

Tim!is not going to run this year he is taking a break. So don't. count on him

j rabbit 03-16-2012 07:55 AM

take the front drive shaft out and run with the 2wd

Larrydewalt17 03-18-2012 02:28 PM

do we have a schedule yet?

ssmilie 03-18-2012 03:59 PM

No not yet, we are going to have another meeting before the season starts. I think we were waiting to hear from some other tracks on some stuff but can't rember for sure. Talking about the schedule, is anyone interested in a team enduro for short course trucks. I was thinking since almost everyone has SC trucks we could have a good long dayor night for the fun of it. Make teems of 3 and something like a 2 hour race. Something like running straight 2 hours. With teams of 3 you could have someone charging batteries and someone ready to take over for a driver and the driver. This is a thought for the fun of it. Any other ideas? The season is about to start, let's get the ideas and concerns out in the open.

Larrydewalt17 03-18-2012 05:40 PM

I think maybe a big race or two like thunder on the plains get people back into it again

ssmilie 03-18-2012 07:32 PM

We talked about having some kind of trophy race this year. It is a no go. The biggest concern with a trophy race in GrandIsland is that Omaha has so many ROAR events now that there is no reason to come to GrandIsland for something like that.

j rabbit 03-19-2012 07:48 AM

as of right now we dont have the numbers to support a trophy race but fun races like dollar pots and what not are a big thing that attract people for fun im all for that. would love to see a trophy race but im kinda with everyone else without a turnout how do we do something like that id like to see maybe some grill outs and things of that nature to try in get some people but just my thoughts

37 RACING 03-19-2012 03:11 PM

I think we need another meeting so here it is Sunday April 1,2012 at 2pm bring some grubs

ssmilie 03-19-2012 05:28 PM

I can't make it that weekend, but no big deal. Just post the details on here so I know what's going on. Do you guys think the waether will stay warm? Should we try to start our season earlier this year do to the good weather?

biggs11268 03-19-2012 06:38 PM

1st works for me I can bring some salsa and chips from Carlos

Lance8813 03-21-2012 01:02 PM

Well I won't be around this summer. Just got a summer job down in Kansas.
Good luck to you guys for the season.

Larrydewalt17 03-21-2012 04:21 PM

works for me just cant stay long have to go to yankton sd for work

ssmilie 03-22-2012 06:48 PM

Dose anyone have a 34 tooth pinion they want to sale or trade for another pinion?

Larrydewalt17 03-23-2012 09:41 AM

We dont have to do trophys maybe a day where we race oval and off road the same day and maybe race 3 qualifiers and a main

ssmilie 03-23-2012 11:01 AM

There was some talk about having a 2 day event. The first day all oval and second all offroad or vise versa. I don't remember what happend to that idea. Maybe its still open or up in the air.
How may people are planning on running stock buggy this year. We are getting close to the start of the year and I am trying to get an idea of what to run. We havnt heard from Crash and Burn so I have no clue if we should expect them or not. Other than that I don't know how many will be in a class. Also what motors are people running in mod st and mod sc?

j rabbit 03-23-2012 12:32 PM

im just running stock buggy i got rid of all my other off road equipment

ssmilie 03-24-2012 03:33 PM

Zane. I was looking at the RC8 and was thinking. I have all of the parts to make it a 4wd 1/10 SC truck. I even have the right 2.2x3.0 wheels. If you want I can make it a SC10 4x4 and then we would ony need one more 4x4 sc truck for a class. If anyone is up for a 4x4 sc class please put your 2 cents in. I would realy like to be able to run my SC10 4x4 (RC8 convedrsion).

I am ready for the race season. I have ben working on my cars. Getting racing feaver. :blush:

biggs11268 03-24-2012 08:38 PM

I'm thinkin just stock buggy.:sneaky::sneaky

READY2RACE 03-25-2012 01:04 PM

does anyone have a cheap brushless speedo for sale? :tire::tire:

ssmilie 03-25-2012 02:53 PM

WOW he lives!! Great to hear from you. I have a sensorless ae one out of a rtr.

Larrydewalt17 03-25-2012 03:51 PM

Well my year is already going good i got burned on a used esc for my stadium truck

biggs11268 03-25-2012 04:03 PM

Sell it to Bren CHEAP :lol::ha::ha::ha:

READY2RACE 03-25-2012 04:14 PM

maybe i should rephrase that, a cheap FUNCTIONAL brushless speedo!:lol: scott, which one is it? 450BL? will it work with a sensored motor?:tire::tire:

ssmilie 03-25-2012 06:58 PM

I think that is it. I got it used from a guy on here. Yes it works with sensored motors, you just leave off the sensore cable. I am using it with a sensored turnigy 9.5 right now. Or I should say I was. Its not in anything at the moment. If I remember right it says 6500kv limit. I would have to look again to be sure.

37 RACING 03-26-2012 10:11 AM

Bren you can buy the club systems fron speed passion novak etc.. sensored for around $50.00 to $60.00 NEW!!!Or the Bobby King is good also

Mopar Man 03-26-2012 10:06 PM

I'm still looking for a cheap 13.5 brushless combo for my Rustler. I want a real 540 sized motor and from what I've seen, some of the budget systems use a smaller motor with heat sink. So is the Speed Passion combo a 540 ? Hobby Wing ? Any other options ?

ssmilie 03-27-2012 12:31 PM

I have heard good things about this 13.5 motor http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...%5Fsensor.html
This is a good esc http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...1%5F12%5F.html It seems its out of stock at the moment but they do have higher amp ones in stock.
This would be a good budget system.

Larrydewalt17 03-27-2012 04:49 PM

Are the stadium trucks really mod this year and its good to hear from you bren are you runnin offroad, oval or both

biggs11268 03-30-2012 02:54 PM
