9/11 Tinley Park - RCDad - 09-12-2005
I'm going to trade the super nitro for something more suited for that track. I had trouble making those tight turns and the rubber tires were sliding around. I felt the NTC3 did so much better.

Cool, you found the results. Heh, My avg lap was 60.295 sec, and my best was 25.614 sec.
If only I could have made that every lap I would have had...23.4 laps. I would have got 24 and gotten 2nd =P xD

Hey, if you want Earl, I'll buy a new radio box and motor plate and make you the whole mid tank setup for the savvy for what it costs me in parts.
9/11 Tinley Park - RCDad - 09-13-2005
To be honest we were only like 10 seconds behind some of the top drivers which ain't bad since we just started.
What do you think the total cost would be?
9/11 Tinley Park - Ponch - 09-13-2005
Engine Plate on tower is 6.69,
Radio box on tower is 6.69,
and the t-maxx servo mounts are 3.39 (x2)
And I'd get it all from my LHS so I wouldn't have to pay shipping, even though everything will be $1-2 more possibly. So, It'd be around $23 with tax, but they have a coupon for $5 bux off, so it'd be $18ish.
My mom said for sure that I could make it to the last race, so I'd get it to you then. I am buying all the parts new so that if you ever wanted to go back you could just switch them out.

savage driver you work at LH don't you?
9/11 Tinley Park - Ponch - 09-13-2005
Nope, I'm only 14. I hope to next year though...
9/11 Tinley Park - RCDad - 09-13-2005
This paycheck is going to be tight, I'll let you know. I'm glad your making it to the last race, I'll bring extra chairs
9/11 Tinley Park - Ponch - 09-13-2005
Cool, just lmk. It would take me the two weeks anyway, I'm not babysitting that much this week.
Still can't believe I made third and I only went through a fuel bottle worths' of fuel.
9/11 Tinley Park - Ponch - 09-13-2005
Oh yeah, I painted the ugly nitro shoes rims black. Much better. I'll probably throw in some silver to make them ~fLaShY~ heh.
9/11 Tinley Park - RCDad - 09-13-2005
So what did you end up having to get for your car besides the dog-bones? I still can't remember what problems you had in that final race..
9/11 Tinley Park - Ponch - 09-13-2005
Also, where did you get the race results? I want to see how badly we did compared to the a-main guys....
:bustingup
9/11 Tinley Park - Ponch - 09-13-2005
Dog bones and turnbuckles, spur and some friggen better engine mount screws, they're all requiring some major dremeling to get out. :bustingup :mad:
Oh well.

Holy crap. Look at his best lap time....19.534...I can only dream...Oh well.
9/11 Tinley Park - RCDad - 09-13-2005
Well, by the end of next season I'm sure we'll be doing much better.
9/11 Tinley Park - Ponch - 09-13-2005
I hope, jeez. lol
I looked and found out that the bigger dog bones screwed up my steering, waaaayyy too much binding caused by them. I took them out and steering went back to normal. I'll give 'em back next time I see you.
9/11 Tinley Park - Ponch - 09-13-2005
Woah...Took out my engine and found out that I broke my pipe. It had a raised edge where it went into the coupler, and that broke off. Hmm...Is that the god's way of saying to get a new pipe now? I think so.
9/11 Tinley Park - RCDad - 09-13-2005
That sucks, pretty big losses for your first time.
9/11 Tinley Park - Ponch - 09-14-2005
Ehh, it's ok. I'm looking at this for a new pipe, and have been for a while. :bustingup
9/11 Tinley Park - RCDad - 09-14-2005
I finnaly realized last night the restrictor was still in my NTC3 carb. It will be interesting to see how much power it has now that I've removed it.
9/11 Tinley Park - Ponch - 09-14-2005
OoOoOooooOooohhhh....Hehehehe!!!! :racing:
