IT SEEMS SOME OF MY TOOLS ARE BEING COPIED BY BIGGER MANUFACTURERS SO I WOULD LIKE TO POST THIS!Talk about a bunch of copy cat bs. At least i know mine was original. Kinda annoyed though. I would also like to thank all the people who did buy my wrenches and appreciate you guys helping to support a fellow club racer. Hopefully i will have the opportunity to bring you all some new genuine tools and parts. As i have stated before please feel free to pm me any parts or tools you would be interested in seeing

I intend on racing 17.5 buggy, 4wd mod buggy, and 4wd mod SC (or vintage if it is offered). I was clear from the beginning that I do not intend on running 17.5 SC for trophy races. It's not worth the stress of getting pissed off for being hacked in a trophy race.
As for your B44.2, why did you sell the shocks on your "old" one? I don't see why you want to get another 44.2 when you have a perfectly good one lying around already.

Were you scared of the Green Gremlin behind you? Is that why you piped it? lol Had a great time today and Congrats Renaldo on the awesome 17.5 buggy A-main final.

James, didn't I beat you last time?

Great racing today in 17.5 Buggy with Rick, Eric, Trevor, and Eric's surprisingly fast son. Also, props to John and the K family for getting the shop in order and running a smooth program. The 2-minutes-between-races approach worked quite well today.
I tried a different mounting angle for my camera. I found one that works pretty well (it doesn't show the front double too well, since it's just too close to the driver's stand, but otherwise it's not bad). I tried recording the 17.5 Buggy main where I WHOOPED ALL YOUR ASSES
but the camera ran out of memory. Here's a clip of some 17.5 SC qualifying (still uploading at present...should be ready soon):

Good to see you back Rick, great showing considering you've been MIA for 3 weeks or so.

Quick question so maybe I can turn the D3.5 forumn on its lid. I know PK has a reedy sonic 17.5 but what motor does Mr Vega run in 17.5 buggy?
Sorry I missed out yesturday. I was upgrading the RB6 and didn't have time to finish. Onto the wednsday night worlds!
Eric I saw that laptime in the A-main dude Awesome!!

Ducky, I have a Tekin Redline (V1) in my buggy, with ~ 6 deg mechanical timing.
Rick, I can only manage to clear that triple once or twice early on, when the battery voltage is still high. But you can do it by taking roughly the same line as the 17.5 buggies do. With a bit more practice, maybe I can do it more often...
James, you "just" learned about gearing and timing? Didn't I teach you about timing a while back? Also, you never answered my question about your 44.2. Put some V2 shocks in there and run it.
