Oh Teflon whats up, dude it was a blast racing against you and that name severs you right, and unlike most fast and constient drivers your were still super nice on the stand, telling me to calm down and just drive my race shocked the hell out of me seeing you were half track on me but that restored my faith in RC and that there are still some nice good drivers out there....But i got a lil happy when i was like a turn away from you and washed out in the 180 befor the step up. But i'll be back that track was awesome and i want more, keep us/me posted on races to come thanks again Teflon....
I will and you do the same, I enjoyed the Grand Prix the week before and I look forward to visiting RCHR again!
Just an FYI I prefer blue compound bar codes on my truck and buggy over everything else, that's what I ran at RCHR and that's what I run at RCE, I clean them with simple green, sauce them with red sticky-kicks, bag them, and mount them right out of the bag 10 minutes or so before my race. If traction is high then I will do all that but also re-apply after I mount them 10 minutes before the race. Just throwing that out there, might help some of you guys out.

Yeah thats what I'm saying, you WERE ON ME! I was like this dude is going flat out with me, I had a blast, your a great racer and actually all the guys I run with comment on how cool you guys all were. It cracked me up that I was the only Losi truck... this is only my 3rd Electric indoor race.

Yeah i got a lil excited and spun out. But funny thing is i did the same thing two nights befor the race, i was running Pink Bk Bars all the way around and ripped and gripped them and bagged them until the first quailier. I'll have to try a set of blue Bar Codes next visit...
I never had any luck with Pink Bar Codes unless the track is dry and has a groove, not enough side bite for me. I could almost fist my car anywhere on the track without the car wanting to wash out on me, I would pull it back full as I was turning into the straightaway, tires had me "in the surface" ya know. couple of times I had to back off it because it wanted to stand straight up on me, hell I even run weight in the nose just to keep it on the damn ground, lol

And I thought I was the only guy at RCE with sticky kicks, lol.
I hope to see more of you guys up at RCE this winter on some Thursdays, I couldn't make it to the Grand Prix because I was working in the shop at RCE; then couldn't make it to the Gobbler because I had to work at home selling x-mas trees...
Next semester I have a better course schedule and I should be able to make the long drive down to RCHR about every other week for some Wednesday Worlds with a couple of guys from RCE.
Any of you guys planning on going to the JC race at LIR in January?

If I can get the transmission back together in time, then yes. I've been looking at the X-6, but AE and LOSI don't use metric screws and nuts so I'd have to buy more tools as well (Plus it's $350).
Who's going and are you guys running 19T or Mod?
