Tex, maybe this time switch vehicles for a few laps?
ChitownRC Holiday/Pizza Party, Leisure Hours Jan. 8th '07 - Traxxas_Junkee - 01-08-2007
Yeah Strat come on out. Do you still have the Revo?

squirrel Wrote:We already talked about that! The ramp was an idea, and like I said if Bernie said no to it then it wasn't happening. As for tag we were gonna play when the track was near empty and tube jumping is not allowed. If you jump the tubes to get away or tag someone you automatically "it". Any other rules you guys want us to follow I'm sure will be fine. I respect the track as the holy grail of racing it is supposed to be.
Exactly. Tex.... please give us a little more credit than that. We may like to screw around some times, but I don't think I have ever given you a reason to think that I wouldn't respect the track or others around me. :confused:

I think it would be fun to have a driving "race" to see how long a bunch of trucks can go without hitting each other, or a tube, or a wall. Once you hit something, you pull off. Last man running wins.

id go slow and win that one
ChitownRC Holiday/Pizza Party, Leisure Hours Jan. 8th '07 - Ponch - 01-08-2007
Dave that'd be the quickest race EVER! lol.
You could take that race in 2 ways, see how many people you can bump in one turn or see how long you can last....
ChitownRC Holiday/Pizza Party, Leisure Hours Jan. 8th '07 - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-08-2007
But if you bump both guys are out.
ChitownRC Holiday/Pizza Party, Leisure Hours Jan. 8th '07 - Ponch - 01-08-2007
Yeah but if you bump one guy into another who hits another and on and on...you could have some fun and take out the whole race if planned right, even though you'd be out.

ok, it was a dumb suggestion, I admit it.
ChitownRC Holiday/Pizza Party, Leisure Hours Jan. 8th '07 - squirrel - 01-08-2007
Could be fun! But I love this hobby!! Was out giving the losi a shake down, getting a general tune goin, makin sure everything was ok. Guess what happens! Switch failed TRS didn't pull it back, truck took off hit a curb, took out a rear arm and pulled the top of the shock right outta the tower! Trying to rebuild now except for the fact that I don't have an AD2 rear arm just an AD1. Huge difference in the 2. Gotta love the power of a dremel!
Also another suggestion, Team race. One guy on throttle, one guy on steering! Did it down in Stl. and I think it was the most fun race ever!!! If we can get it running me and someone can use the t-maxx.

Holy preload Batman
ChitownRC Holiday/Pizza Party, Leisure Hours Jan. 8th '07 - Tex - 01-08-2007
those shocks look like a lot of preload but they aren't, that's how my shocks look too.
Rob, I'll be there in 30-40 mins from right now...

Ponch Wrote:Holy preload BatmanBelieve it or not the suspension is really soft still! It's really setup nicely for racing, except for the fact the rear is a little broke. lol!
ChitownRC Holiday/Pizza Party, Leisure Hours Jan. 8th '07 - Ponch - 01-08-2007
How long are the springs, not compressed? Do they even take up the whole shock from cap to spring retainer?
ChitownRC Holiday/Pizza Party, Leisure Hours Jan. 8th '07 - squirrel - 01-08-2007
Nope! springs are short compared to the shocks! Thats basiccaly the spring just before it starts compressing!
