Steve, I just got back from Omaha like 10 minutes ago. Some fast guys there, there was only 5 heats per round, so we did 3 qualifiers and the mains.
I ran 19t sedan and stock 12th. I was having some major issues with my 12th, just doing some wierd stuff on teh track, glitchin or what not so i didnt run the 3 qualy or the main, didnt want to risk crashin it bad.
In sedan, I had has some onpower push problems and some more stuff. I ended up talking to Kevin "Kave" VanErt on AIM and i was trying some stuff he suggested. My 007 went from about 40% good to aobut 80% still need to work on some stuff. The track layout is fresh, so there is low bit.
I did manage to snag the fastest lap of the night with my DB12r with our new EP cells! I was clearly faster then everyone, but the 12th drove like crap, i just pulled it off the track. I gotta talk to jason over at BMI to see if he can help.

Billy Bob, today was unofficial opening day at Bumps and Jumps with a handful of fast guys in attendence. I ran 2wd mod and qualified 3rd. I got it together for the main and me and my FullThrottle powerd buggy took home the win. Thanks for all the power! The results should be posted in the next day or so at www.bumpsandjumpsrc.com.

Bill, awesome motor and even better batteries. 1/10th of a second off of the fast lap set at the track during test and tune night. I was also way over geared. I would guess once i get the gearing right I should have no problem setting fast lap at the track. I'll be getting more of those batts. off u asap and as you know i already ordered another motor.....thanks again.
A question for all you left handers, this is only my 2nd year in pan car. Last year we had a 'super speedway' type track long and sweeping. Now we are on a 85'x20'ish track and my car wants to hook real bad in the corners, any suggestions for set-up to help this problem?
ps, Bill money sent via pp

hey bill, here r some pics from the ftms race w/brian kinwald.
i qual 2nd in the B, kinwald 3rd in the B. @ ftms they take ur best 2 qual so there is no rocket round, if there was kinwald and i would have been in the A. so the start of the B was clean, 1st place crashed, i crashed, kinwald waited, i came up to BK to battle and then my spur gear decided to detinate, daaaaaaaaaam!!!!! anyway i had a great time, i raced with BK, i had lots of power, the 9x1 i think is a bit much for dirt, but i had mad ponies lol.
anyway thanx for the arm bill. cant wait to get my much more, let me know on that.

Oval huh...well If I had to guess, and this is just a guess because I have never run oval, you probably have too much steering and need to lower your roll centers a little to flatten the car out. Also that track sounds very "paperclip" like, If your losing a ton of speed in the corners, you want to gear it so that you are topping off about 3/4 of the straight. Once you get your car to carry more corner speed, then gear up. You don't wanna scrub too much speed and over work the motor/batteries. Make your car as effecient (sp?) as possible. I would also talk to the local fast guys and get some feedback from them.
Hope this helps

I haven't run oval since the 90's at MegaTrack in NJ and The Track in MD, but here are some suggestions...
For the front end, I would try a harder right front tire or harder right front spring. Also, use some heavy lube on the kingpins if the track is not too bumpy.
For the rear, I would try a thinner t-bar or softer middle shock spring to get the car to push a little. Plant the rear and then make it steer...
