There were tons of people having problems yesterday. They guy next to me left without being in one qualifier and another guy I know needed a part for his Maxx. Don't get discouraged by problems, out of the three trucks I brought I was lucky that one was working.

I'm so glad I got the tuning issue figured out!!

Tex, I'll remember to put a hole in the body for fuel

UEmaxx, we all get frustrated sometimes. Your still a beginner, don't get discouraged so easily.

One of the reason why your truck breaks all the time is because you wreck all the time, and I know why. I was watching you in a couple of your Quals/Race and you are trying to go too fast. Slow down and instead of trying to be so fast, try and just be smooth and flowing. If you can't hit the double in front of the drivers stand 80% of the time, don't try and clear it! You will break. You don't need to SKY off the tabletops, that's not the fast way around.
Next time you come out Steve, I will take your truck around the track a few times and see how it drives then give you some track/driving tips that will help you out.

Most of my problem is my steering. I don't what it is. I am using the servo that came with the DX3. I have to take the tight turns slow. I am not going to spend $100 or more on a good servo. Instead I am most likely putting it towards another vehicle.

Another is my shocks. You felt them yesterday. I don't want to dump anymore money into this truck.

listen to tex, steve.
he told me the same thing, I kept breaking but then he watched me run a few laps and he said to slow down and drive smooth.

believe it or not when I was doing that I started to pass people up. also you arent any faster in the air. your wheels are what push your car but when you have all 4 wheels in the air then all you have is air resitance which slows you down. you cant control your ride to good in the air.

just keep practicing.

I am not saying im a pro because hell I have only been there 3 times, but by listening to tex and other guys at the track I have learned a lot.

I go really slow and I noticed two things, a) people run into the back of me and usually knock their own RC over and b) I was able to drive around a lot of accidents

One person did tell me that I hit the wall way to much at the end of the strait but it's hard to see with the marshall standing in the way, I need to learn how to use my brakes much better.

UEMaxx a Hitec 645 is relatively inexpensive.

I hear that people say Hitec's are junk.

I also have the problem of my truck eating spurs. After the main my brand new spur has NO teeth left. I don't know what that problem is either. Mesh is good and and the engine isn't moving. I backed off the slipper 1/2 a turn.

what chassis do you have?

I've been using the Hitec 645 for a long time, I only had one that would only turn one way and Towers replaced it.

I need to grind the carriers on the new Savage, I don't even way to touch the engine tuning right now, it seems to be just right.

I just wanted to say that I had a great time at the track yesterday. I meet alot of new people that seemed like a great group of people, and I got me a couple of good starting setups for my cars. Thanks again for all the tips and info guys can wait to race with you all.

Predator. It's not chassis flex.

Just go slow. As Mike Czech would say "Slow is fast". (And everyone else would I just remember him telling me) When I chilled I was turning fast and consistant lap times in stock form. I got a tad antsy with the new motor and if I went through the turns at all quick it would push like crazy... Slow down and you will be fine. If you need to roll a jump do it. It's better than breaking...

maybe alignment between CB and spur???? Maybe it's just a tiny bit crooked?

IDK maybe. I haven't ate a spur ever since I got the new chassis (about 3 gallons) and I shredded (sp) two yesterday.

Were you pitting near Gabe?

Sort of. I was at the end of the table on one side and he was maybe 2 seats in on the other side like 2 rows away.

haha
dont start that again.

this just in traxxas spur gears have dramatically dropped in sales or whatever you said, that was funny.


ue-maxx maybe you trans is moving?
