i heard that the stratus 2.0 is the king of the carpet, but it dosn't feel "right" for me on asphault

I tried new Accord coupe (protoform) last Monday, it was excellent !! if you interested in try it !!
Chevlon's G35(Nissan) is also good! it's coming soon from yokomo or Atlas.

accually, haven't you been making the a-main each time you have been running sportsman? that is fast!!!!
most of all make adjustments each time you go to the track, i used to just run the same stuff and same old same old, with no results to say that i was doing the right thing. then i broke away from what the fast guys were running and tried my own stuff(setup, car, accessories) and made adjustments from there. it all was a learning experiance for me, and only makes you faster!

when i used to run stiff setups the car would be sooooooo unforgiving that i would make one mistake and the whole lap would be messed up!
after that i started to run softer and my results improved!!!

basically i have never tried to be a folower, but at socal the monster is so hard to be beat that i just had to make a switch. the body as well, i could just not keep pace with the field so i had to make that switch too.

ps, i like that chassis!!!!

Hey Neil i aggree with you with the stratus, i used one today for practice OMG i think it handled a little A LITTLE better than the 2.0.

Genetic 10-09-2003 11:26 PM

Hey bubbles i dont know why you dont want to run your 4wd but i LOVE mine. i practiced today and wow my tc3 buggy out accellerated many losi xxx-4. Mostly beating all the xxx-4. sweet, feels good to be back.

Hi-LowBrow 10-10-2003 12:07 AM

thanks bubbles !!
I know that it's not easy to become fast, I need more experience anyway.
I started to race on touring 3month ago, since I used to race only for offroad before.:ha:
I guess It takes for a while to become fast....
anyways,,,I appreciate your advice!!
thanks again Bubbles !! and sorry about my bad English.

basically i see it as...

dirt is for growing potatoes and asphault is for RACING!!!(quote heard from JasonC)


also, i did not like everyone asking to drive my car, i would do like one lap then kyle or some other person would ask to drive it. plus, custom making arms for when it breaks is a pain(two hours for the front arms!!!). and my car is not done yet!!!, why are you so eager to race me when my car is not done yet?

Genetic 10-10-2003 10:49 PM

Oh snaps Hi-LowBrow is Hiro, whats up hiro its sean. I think i saw you with a new body, sweet! ahhaha

Genetic 10-10-2003 10:54 PM

well basically i built the car cause you showed me it and i liked it, and mostly because no one would ever let me drive there xxx-4. i aggree with you by custom making the arms is a pain but it didnt take that long hahaha my tiny little arms hasnt even broken yet! i want to race you because theres no other people at the track with a tc3 buggy and like stuff. last time i check your car looked finished, it drove before i drove mine. BTW everyone liked the body, HAHAHHA.

yeah, your arms did not break yet cause you haven't let anyone drive your car yet(other than you), and your front arms are swept foward, mine are backward. why would you want to compare your car to mine? also the car looked finished because you asked to drive it, and i kept forgetting to let u drive it and one day when it had all four wheels on it i decided that was the only way to get you to drop the 4wd thing, but you didn't. that body is VERY cool!!!lol:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
