Yeah it will, these things have a range of 1000 ft+. That's more than 3 football fields away.

Just placed my order. This thing sounds awsum from the answers to the questions.

I asked, what do I tell them at the track when they ask what freq., he said, "Spektrum".

on pratice nights, you are only allowed to tune between 5:35pm and 5:45pm.

ok JK

what do you mean when can you? you can tune when ever you have a screwdriver handy.

kevinF · (#104 (**permalink**))

well if the others were running ther trucks on the track where do you tune it then?

RobH · (#105 (**permalink**))

wouldn't it be hard to tune with like 10+ nitro RCs going at once? I tend to tune by sound.

Since I have spektrum, couldn't I tune my truck in the parking lot ?

well i would think it would be okay but dont blame me tho

no that isnt an attack to destroy team triple threat

No running in the parking lot. all I need is a run away hitting a car or someone in the lot

You tune your RC on the track.....

Fire it up, take a slow lap on the track and pull back in the pits when you come around to check it. Based on how it felt (power wise) and smoke/temps you adjust the needles acordingly. Take another lap......

With the Spektrum system you can use your radio during a run, it won't bother the racers.

i wouldnt touch the tune for at least 5 min of solid running unless its all outta whack.

you cant tune a motor till its at least 200+

i dont tweak mine till i get at least 10 minutes on it so the chassis has a chance to heat soak.

lets say you tune for 260 (in the summer) @ the end of a 5 min qual... if you have a 20 min main, you maybe be at 280=290 thru 2/3rds of the race... bit hot for me....

if you have alot to tune.... get a bud that can help you, and just yell down what adjustment you want done.

alot of tune comes form how the motor feels as u are driving it also, u can normally tell if it isnt running right

Tex · (#113 (**permalink**))

that's what I was trying to say Mike, thanks

RCDad · (#114 (**permalink**))

The worst is adjusting the LSN IMO, HSN is simple with a temp gun but the LSN is like the last thing I want to deal with.

Pinch test for the low speed needle.
