I think Hobby Huts track is a little bigger than XRC but the straight is about the same just the Hobby Hut track goes a bit further back away from the drivers stand.

I had a great time at XRC this past weekend. My favorite part was no tire wear at all

Thanks, Porkchop...

where is hobby hut ? PA ?

I like the sound of no tire wear.

I think he meant XRC has no tire wear.


XRC's track is 195' x 95'. Hubby hut is not that big at all. Not anymore at least. They are having a ROAR race on Aug. 23rd you guys should make it out. The new layout is going to be amazing.

Hobby hut is in Audubon,PA off of trooper rd. The track is like a 1/2 mile up the street. They should have the new track finished by the end of this week. Then they start a new point series. They always have a good turn out.

Yes I meant XRC did not wear my tires. I ran a set of soft City Blocks in 2 qualifiers and the 30 minute main with almost no sign of them being used at all.

Tire wear was extra good this past weekend because the track just went through a pretty thorough service before the race. They also watered frequently this weekend. The track was very smooth.

Also I'm not sure we'll get to do the 2050/2060 test on the Reedy, his second one just broke. Silicone inside the crank delaminated or something to that effect? I haven't seen it yet.

I love hearing nightmares about the engine i just bought...

I love reading them too. I remember being told a couple years ago, NEVER use after run oil with drilled and filled cranks. It causes the epoxy to do what that guy is talking about.

I got my motor 300+ 2 weeks ago due to a ripped pressure line. The motor is still running strong, with average temps in the mid 250's

The more fuel I run through mine the stronger its getting also. Finally starting to learn the tune on this motor. You just have to take your time with the top end needle. I finished second in the Midwest Nitro series these weekend with using this Reedy motors in 3 of the 5 rounds!

hows everyone breaking these in? by what the book says? or the tried and trued "heat cycle"??

is this true about the afterrun oil, and where did you here it?
should i use it in my reedy or not?

Yes its true. Just run the tank out if your going to park the car for a week or two. Also read the first post in this thread bellow.

I idled 6 tanks through mine on the box before putting it on the ground. Keeping the engine at 200 deg. and letting the motor cool down to outside temperature between each tank. Heat cycling. The next few tanks on the track I ran very rich, not racing anyone. Again shutting down between each tank. Performance really came up at the 1 gallon point. Sidewinder 30% on the fuel.

Anyone know if the racers edge after run oil has silicone oil in it? From the tuning book it says its a good idea to use after run oil as long as it doesn't have silicone in it. Wish I knew, won't be using it until I know for sure.
