Im glad to hear the jaco's were the choice because they are reasonably priced, seem to hold up great and don't seem to come unglued like other brands like speedmind. I managed to squeak out 1st for the B main regionals, unfortunately Brian somehow did great and I'll never hear the end of it.

Some exciting things are taking place at the "C" this winter!!! We are announcing an 8 week point series starting November 22nd (the week after the region 2 race). This series will be for awards only (no gift cards or cash this time). We will have a weekly points race on 11/22, 11/29, 12/06, 12/13, 12/20, 1/03/2009, 1/10/2009, and 1/17/2009. We're taking a week off for the holidays and those of you who want to visit family or entertain your loved ones. There will be two throw outs in the series so make as many as you can.

You can add Randy and Dave Banks to your list of TT-01 players. Are the Orion Lipo's the only lipo that will be allowed? Thanks, sounds like this will be fun.

Hey guys first off ,this class is big fun.
We run orion carbon editions because they are shaped like a stick pack ,which fits in the car without any mods to the chassis. They also have a track record of good performance for years of use.
I know there are a lot of new lipo's coming to the market these days. We are open to adding batteries which will fit the car with no mods to the chassis .But before we get to far , we will not be running $150 5000mah 30c batteries in this spec class.

It looks like a good crowd of spec guy this weekend , you guy will have a great time .



If your interested in Spec here are the rules :


1) All cars are Tamiya TT-01 or TT-01E.

2) Hop-up's allow:

a. Ball bearings

b.Any Oil filled shocks and springs (we like Tamiya #50746 #50519 or #53619)

c. Turnbuckle steering tie-rods (Tamiya part #53662)

d. aluminum drive shaft (Tamiya part #53620 or #54026).

3) Gearing will be FIXED- kit 19t pinion and 61t spur

4)Tires: HPI x-patterns tires (4490,4495) Any wheels and inserts are ok.The tires that come in the kit are also okay to run , Racing Radials #50419, racing slicks #50454 or semi slicks #50810

5) Any brand of 1/10 scale coupe or sedan body (please- no trucks, GTP, LeMans or F1 bodies).

6) Batteries are all 7.2 volts. They can be 6-cell- nicads or 6-cell nimhs,and Lipo's Team Orion carbon edition 2400, 3200 or 3400 with a charged voltage of 8.44 or less.

7) Your choice of electronics.

8) No weight minimum, but don’t lighten the car chassis or parts because that’s not allowed. Feel free to add weight in order to balance the car if you’re going to use a lipo pack.

9) Qualifying heats will be 6 minutes long. All Mains will be 8 minutes, with a bump-up for the winner of each lower Main ( that's right more time on the track)

10) Here’s the best part: motors will be Blind Draw Red Dot 15K’s and they are provided for the race free of charge. All motors are certified to be within 1% of each other and have plenty of power. Pull one out of the box for your race and return it at the end of the evening…or maybe we’ll swap them around again for the Mains. Also feel free to run clip-on heat sinks( the tamiya one is #53664) . Remember that the motor must be returned at the end of the evening. If you leave with a spec motor you’ll owe us a $45.00 replacement fee.

Bring them up ,I would like to see how they run . I've seen them ,they are knock-off's of the orions. All of are spec racers have have equal lap time with different batteries,3300,3800.4200,4600, 2400lipo and 3200lipo.

If they fit the car with out mods and have the same specs as the orions they should be fine to run.

I still think the Orions are the best for long term performance .
