joe... just talked with ed at ebmods. looks like he will be giving you a call today.. also i dont see any reason to give either you or bryce an infraction or time off. i think bryce could have done things in a pm or phone call.. i think you could have given him a phone call or pm also..

with the team thing that is for you guys to work out or decide... i want no part of that.... i think bryces comments are well within rctech rules and was just asking a question....

so both joe and bryce please take a break from posting or give each other a call and work things out... that is what teammates are suppose to do... thank you.

bryce, I was having a hard time with my full mod with no bottom end and it would have a random flameout, changed out my front bearing and everything was good again...engine had just shy of 1 gallon on it. so check that out maybe I just had a bad bearing (wont be the last time a front bearing went bad premature on any engine brand)....both of my engines are running great right now TQd truggy yesturday and was leading when I flammed out (idle was set to low ) I am one of them guys that likes a REALLY low idle..and I need to just bump up my idle a tad and be happy lol....not the engines fault at all. quald 4th in buggy top 6 were within 2 seconds so it was some great racing tried a diff. tire in the main and went the wrong way to say the least!

Default JBRL Series Round 1

Well round one of the JBRL series went off this weekend. All I have to say is wow what a great motor. I had a rough go of it, had a servo go in each round of qualifying. End up in the E main bump out of it with a win by over 30 seconds, 10 minute main and no stop. Great run time. Had about an 1/8 of an inch of fuel left. D main went good until about the 3 minute mark I think. That EB Mod power took me from the 11 starting position to second place in about 3/4 of a lap. Had a left rear A arm break about the 3 minute point and I was out watching from that point on. Must of had the tune spot on, as I too tried leaning out the top and it started lean bogging (want to make sure I made the 10 minute D main as I new I would have to push it a little harder as I got up the ladder in mains) we went back out one hour and it rain great. I would like to thank Ed for getting my new motor sent out to me for this race, and Joe for all the help to date. Almost forgot, Joe the Lucky & filters worked great all weekend. Well I know things will go better at the next race, as I think I have had all the back luck hit me in one race. PS I would like to thank Peter Martin from TKO bearings for all of his help at the track this weekend.

Default Emails

Joe have you been getting my emails. I sent a couple in the last month and have got no response back. We had a problem here with our emails, but I normally get a return on them when they don't go through.

Thanks

WOW!!!!!!!!!

I have been on the fence between Alpha Plus and JS and I can say that this thread made up my mind for me. If this is how a team driver is treated I can't wait to see how an average racer is treated when he has problems. I think the public knowing that even team guys flame out is a good thing. We can also then see what resolved the issue which is also good knowledge. Instead the issue is resolved by booting someone off the team???? What a crock!!!

Funny you guys treat this thread like it is an EB Mods website. Like Houston said, this is an OPEN forum and people can say whatever they want here. If all you want is good press why don't you start your own site where you can ban everyone that has something bad to say.

At least now I don't have to worry about this plug or that plug or this pipe or that pipe.

just like Bryce your missing the point.... so i'll say it again slowly... if bryce was an average joe there was nothing wrong with his post. BUT as a team driver you must stick to the rules of your contract, and one of them is if you have ANY questions or issues you are to contact ME. some guys on our team just didn't bother to read the contract cause some guys dont care about what WE want, they just want discounts. Sponsorship is a 2 way street and we expect our team guys to work with US on making better products not work with the public as things always get blown waaay out of proportion on fourms.. that is why bryce or any other team guy for that matter will be terminated. If you bother to read back we'll see I'm on here daily helping customers and giving all the support needed to have success with our engines.. Good luck with your decision.
