Chi-Town Shootout Pictures - 03-05-2006, 04:56 PM

I went today for about an hour and a half. Fastest lap time was 22 seconds. A lot of people broke on the triple. That thing is huge.











I have two videos. I will see if I can figure them out and post them.

That triple is a lot bigger now that you have a car to compare it to. Were peopll pissed that it was there or were they cool with it?? I know some don't like a big "make or break" jump... Looks like a good time though.

People didn't seem bothered with it. Definately have to watch out if your marshalling near it. A lot of people were jumping onto the straight and to the otherside.

Doing it as a triple didn't seem that hard. They weren't nailing the throttle and I sometimes thought they wouldn't make it over, but they did.

Thats the one nice thing about flashlights. Theres no wait for power to spool up. Its just there , instantly. They prolly didnt have to nail to shoot a 3 pound truck with crazy modded motors and 3600 mill. packs ! LOL!!!!

I don't know if you mean "crazy modded motors" as low turn motors, but the classes were only stock and 19t. Stadium truck, 2WD buggy, and 4WD buggy.

thats what i ment... But as you can see i have no knowledge in flashlights, i just know i dont realy care for electric but it does speak volumes for the instant snap! If basically stock motors can go like that then you can see how fast they make power

I like nitro more than electric, but everyone once and a while when I drive my eletric buggy, I am suprised the power it has.

I also know nothing about electric. When I was browsing around in the pits, I couldn't tell you what anything was. It takes a lot of money to be a competative electric racer. Same with nitro though too.

That's going to be a major issue for me. I haven't learned how to do doubles or triples. I can see myself rolling over those at a snails pace.

LoL... I was going to say that I could see you doing single, single, single like they were small hills. :-) The only way to learn is to hit them though. I generally get on it good as I get to the lip and then let off in the air. You can tap the throttle if you need to get the nose up or you can lightly tap the brakes if the nose is really high. That is really all that there is to it...

I'll probably start out just rolling over all of them, then try doing doubles. It's tough getting practice with everyone else out on the track. Next Sunday you know the track will be filled with buggies.
