yeah we tried a normal straight up race last night and it just wastn't as fun.
Would be glad to see and meet you guys from up north. I think TRCR will have to be sometime in either october or November cause they are getting ready to start the fall point series and unless we do it on a saturday which is a Nitro day there is no other day to do it on. Will also let you know that schedule as well.
The rules were kept simple cause for the sake of having fun

ok, I just called TRCR and here is the deal. The fall series starts next week and will end around thanksgiving time. So i'm proposing that he opens the track early for us one saturday like around 7-8 and try to be done with our stuff by 1pm. I think he will go for that. What's your thoughts on this. Because that's a nitro race day, so you guys can stick around and do some nitro racing as well.
let me know.
let me know.

We run 5-7 min heats and here are the rules we run with:
* box stock (only thing you can change is) shock oil, shock caps, gearing, and reciever.
* bump to pass ( so you can't just pass someone, you physically have to hit them to pass
)
* no track cutting
* no restarts
* TQ starts in the back of the field.
I will talk with the owner tomorrow to make sure that it's a go. i will let you know either tomorrow night or friday.

shock caps???
if some "rubbing" happens during a pass then fine, don't think it should be manatory. and the straight up t-bones are a bit much.

yeah they have optional alum caps that you can put on them cause the plastic ones seem to unloosen sometimes. yeah straight up t-bones at full speed is a no no. that's not bashing that's being stupid.
Once again GEO shut up for once. had to say it before he says something else stupid.

does anyone remember the losi mini T and how 'FUN' it was going to be, anyone remember why they put thiers in the box and put it away or sold it.
chassis should be left alone, power should be left alone, theres not a damn thing wrong with the stock servo, leave it alone, change the rcvr so you can run your radio, fine. change shock oil, fine, no way to police it, if your blowing the shock caps off, use some lock tite. stock and pro class, isn't that whats ruining the hobby now, to many classes and classes to small.
the above is the post i would have made had i made the one i wanted to make,
below is the one i will post.
whatever you guys decide will be ok with me, i just may decide not to "race" and continue to "bash" it where i can.

I agree with Ritchie.
With the exception of shock caps, or shock bodies, the only "spec" or "box stock" part of the shock that should be left is the spring. The Traxxas upgrade parts should be allowed or even encouraged. The plastic shock body is as high of quality as their ESC's. While over all reliable, they can fail for no really good reason. With the way we are also bashing these things, more durable shocks keep people having fun.
I am most concerned that we all run the spec tire, motor, body, and stock diff. Gearing should be open, it's not that huge of an effect and we all own pinion gears.
Biggest reason for this is these have a tendency to blow up spurs, and the Traxxas spur gears have had some spotty availability. Some shops still have not had the stock Slash spur come in. I don't want to say someone can't play because they broke a spur and the shop has nothing but 83's..
If you guys want to do it Sept 13, that's fine by me. I won't be able to make it, but if it works with everyone else it would be a good weekend to do it; sooner is better than later with the way our weather is going.

Slash Upgrades
Wes, the one thing that hasn't been mentioned is the ESC. My stock one went belly up so I put a Novak GTS in that I had laying around. While it works more reliably than the stocker I haven't seen any gain in performance over the stocker. I still got trampled at the start up in Marysville. Will I be relegated to the Mod class or can I still run stock? The receiver and ESC are the only changes I've made so far. The shocks have even hung in there.
