On Road Track

[Ed Pasoquen]

Did a trial race last weekend everyone loved the track , may start racing on road once a month to start,

[robc843]

the end of tech talk by the looks of it :dizzy:

[Ed Pasoquen]

I'm talking to the city officals in Linconville about a tour track , there is a old tennis court sitting there doing nothing, it's fenced in the surface is still good, would there be a interest in something like this ?:checkered:

You might want to post that on the Georgia RC Tech thread. There is a bunch of on-road people there. I bet there will be interest. I actually have a DM-1 1/8 GT2 car that can't run due to only one crappy track here and it is not even operational as a normal track.

[Ed Pasoquen]

Before I get everyone too excited , I am still waiting to heard from the city officals.

I have drift car that i would play around with, but wouldnt get into it to serious off road 1/8 buggy for me :)

[coryf]

I would definately be interested in an on road track. Me and a handfull of friends are all getting touring cars. Jason and Colin from showzone are looking at places as well. They are checking with the ice palace to see if we can use the old skate park they have outside of the building. looks like it would be a great place for an onroad track. We also have a good size parking lot next to a storage building we rent in west ashley we cold use. Colin and Jason came and looked at it this week. Woudlnt be perfect but def useable. Let get onroad going in the charleston area. Would be a great addition to monks corner raceway.

Speaking of monks corner, maybe some onroad there this sunday since the track is too wet to run on?

[TagDragger]

So what are the specs for the on road classes ? Would love to know so i can be prepared before i come out n play . lol .

[Ed Pasoquen]

:raceme:If we get rain on Saturday we will race on Sunday , and maybe do the track layout on Saturday,

[Doxiedad]

What time tomorrow?

[Ed Pasoquen]

What time tomorrow?

Should be racing by 1:00

[Doxiedad]

Cool deal hopefully I can make it.

[Ed Pasoquen]

Cool deal hopefully I can make it.

I should be there around 10:30 to build the track:checkered:

[ShagNasty]

i have the xray ready to go, i think, gonna have to play with setup some though, been a long long time since i have messed with setup on touring car, lol

[Ed Pasoquen]

I may put my old HPI RS4 Pro-2 together .

[Ed Pasoquen]

Don't forget to bring them Slash or SC trucks

[ShagNasty]

I may put my old HPI RS4 Pro-2 together .

i have an old brand new never used HPI RS4 Pro, the original, gotta find a few little parts for it, then it will be running too.... will bring the sc10 out tomorrow

[Ed Pasoquen]

I do have plaques to award to the top 3 finishers :raceme:

[Ed Pasoquen]

We setup a nice onroad track today -346 ft @ centerline , had some good racing ! if we are not able to race offroad on the 6th we will race onroad.

[coryf]

On road was great yesterday! Ed built an awesome track and everyone had a lot of fun. Can't wait for next weekend, either on or off road. :)

hey there is a tennis court on the old navy bast that is a good shape needs to be weedeated but all in all it seems to in good shape

[shinta]

so im taken it every one is running 1/10? what about 1/18 any one have one that would be up to running. i have both now, just thought i throw it out there

[Ed Pasoquen]

so im taken it every one is running 1/10? what about 1/18 any one have one that would be up to running. i have both now, just thought i throw it out there

Most of the racers are running 1/10th scale , but if we have enough 1/18th we will run them .

[shinta]

thought i throw it out there you never know.

someone said something about a drift car, i got one if you want to bring it out if we end up racing on road might not be able to make a class of it but, a few laps around the track would not hurt might get some of the others out there looking. might bright it out just b/c

[ShagNasty]

we should run sunday again

[coryf]

I posted in the other thread as well, but can we move the onroad race to sunday? I have to attend a funeral Saturday :(

[shinta]

sunday works for me

[shinta]

hope we can run nitro 1/10 cars some where around here.

[Ed Pasoquen]

Calling for a good chance of rain for Saturday , I already made plans for Sunday afternoon. next race TBA,

[Ed Pasoquen]

hope we can run nitro 1/10 cars some where around here.

I think they will be drag racing them on Sunday off of Cross county road turn at Fasier tires on the right.

[shinta]

rc racing > foot ball

ok will look into it didn't get the chance to get up there last time.

[ShagNasty]

Cory and I were talking the other day about a spec class for onroad. We could run RCGT, it is getting pretty big on the west coast. Specs are:

- Any 1/10 AWD TC chassis
- Any realistic sports/GT body (no race-bred TC bodies such as the Mazda 6 and others)
- HPI X-Pattern tires
- realistic wheels (no dish rims)
- 17.5 brushless / 27T brushed motors

i think it would be a great class here, keep racing close, no big spending needed, thinking of doing my HPI RS4 Pro up for this

That sounds cool . Would my 350 Z and Nissan Skyline bodies be legal with those specs ?

[shinta]

there both spots car so i dont see why not. and if the skyline body is good. then i dont haft to do a thing but change over tires and motor on the car that is set up to drift.

[TagDragger]

Just wondering where to get the tires and what compound to use . lol . Been a while since i ran on road . lol

[shinta]

dont know where you at but im shear any hobby shop can get them, i get most of my stuff throw hobby town and tower hobby. i got rums i just need tires now


tower hobby has them for 9.49 for a set of 2

[TagDragger]

I'm in Summerville , and have dealt with Hobby town in N.Charleston a enough to tell they don't really support the racers much , and Tower is great , but sometimes the wait is so long . lol .

[ShagNasty]

yea, basically you can use any sports car style body, 190mm or 200mm, that isnt a touring car race specific body like most of the Protoform bodies, mazda 6, mazdaspeed 6, stratus, LTC, R9, etc are not allowed.

Most tracks are doing a minimum weight of 1400grams to keep cars more equal as well.

Some of the coolest body styles are 200mm, if you have a 190mm touring car and want to run a 200mm body, HPI makes 3mm and 6mm offset wheels. You can use these when using 200mm body on 190mm chassis. Best way is to get the body, mount it properly, then mount standard 0mm offset wheels and measure what offset you need, some bodies may require 3mm front, 6mm rear as some of the 200mm are a bit wider in rear or narrower in front.

the HPI X-pattern tires are available just about anywhere, most all places sell HPI products, I have seen the tires at hobby town before. Also must use a non dish wheel, like from HPI or someone else, must be a realistic style wheel.

I have read where some tracks will run a series, and racers get bonus point for added realism like working lights, exhaust, mirrors, realistic wings, etc.

I can get the rims and tires, bodies, etc if anyone is interested, PM me

[Ed Pasoquen]

Get them on road cars ready , racing Sunday afternoon:checkered:

[shinta]

we just running open or what

[TagDragger]

Dang , just my luck i gotta work this weekend . lol .

[Ed Pasoquen]

[shinta]

Yae , i had to run mt RC18MT/Late model because i broke my TC4 . LOL . It was fun . It was like i was a lil fast moving speed bump . LOL . It was still fun though .

[shinta]

give me a off road car any day, but then again i never got any grip and next to my front deff going out, and i could not see that back turn but still i hand fun and next time i will be putting foam or something on to get the grip i want or just adjust my camber did that in the font and was getting grip but forgot to do it to my rear end.

[Ed Pasoquen]

Results from today's race can be found here:

will be up there next on road race like this time. so we can get a jump start on getting the track built. the hamster is in his wheel in my head and i have a few idea's

[slicrick]

I have a couple 18t late models,maybe i can can run it at the next one.

[shinta]

any one have a heli gryo, i can drift but i want to try something. with my radio not being about to adjust the rate of speed to my steering servo, i want to throw a heli gryo in there and turn it down to help with over steer.

if main if that is ok with you all for me using it. i main its all good clean fun

[TagDragger]

I have a couple 18t late models,maybe i can can run it at the next one.

Bring em out n play Ricky , i'm sure Ed and Shag and a few others would bring theirs out n run em too . I know i need to pick up a few things for my 18 and TC4 , but i'll have em ready for next time . lol .

[slicrick]

Tag-what you need for the 18t,i have a good many parts in stock.

[TagDragger]

Well , i am hunting an aluminum or carbon fiber chassis , my stock one finally split all the way . LOL .

[shinta]

mark what would you charge to me tune my TC no matter what i do i can get it to run like i want it. i know what big thing is my radio, but im working with what i got.

I am going to try and race some onroad with you guys this weekend if I can.I sure do miss it.

[kbmb]

[Ed Pasoquen]

what classes are u guys racing on the onroad ,also are you on asphalt or concrete?

Concrete, the track is differant every race day , so far we are running open touring car, 1/10th truck and SC truck. when we start getting more racers I plan to have a pro & sportsman or vintage touring car classes , and maybe 1/18th :raceme:

[Jimmy Pontious]

Concrete...I was told they have a different layout for each race.So bring some setup tools:)
oops didn't see the above thread..

jimmy.p.

[TagDragger]

Ordered some parts yesterday and hoping they'll be here before the weekend so i can run my TC4 and RC18MT some more . We running this weekend too ? Onroad ? I might have to put my pro truck back together again to run it if my TC4 parts don't get here before the weekend . I know the slash is good to go , just a matter of gettin some better zip ties . lol .

[mark king]

[slicrick]

What tires do i need,you think road rage will work,i know they do on asphalt...

[shinta]

on road we where running any thing we had, i used both foam and rubber neather seemed to work for me.

hey what Transponder do we need a AMD or a mrt there is a guy one hobbytalk that is going to do a big order and he is at 10 transponders that work on AMD, and if it will work then getting me one , and if you all want one just let me know he is getting that at the rate of 60 a pice with 2 for shipping. and it would be a two week what, but he was not set a data on when he is going to place a order

I'll be signing up for the crashing. It goes well with my abusive driving style.

Forgot to ask...nitro okay?

[Ed Pasoquen]

I'll be signing up for the crashing. It goes well with my abusive driving style.

Nitro is ok as long as it's not too loud, I think Phil Brooks is going to be there with his nitro RS4

[theycallmejam]

hey rd,
you got any more tc tires that micro can use? and maybe that body we talked about. i think i have another 19 turn, or one of those spec motors. and i have those speedos that he can use.

[slicrick]

Ed,do you think there will be a class for 1/10 scale truck to run in,you said something about noise,is drake pipe too loud,also i'm giving up on sumter,would like mc to be my home track,when is your next off-road race.Looking forward to racing with ya'll alot in the future.Tks

thats waaaaaaay to sexy for you, fast too

[ShagNasty]

Ed, i told you the 4.5 was too much, i have tried 4.5, 6.5 and 8.5. Cory ran his type-r with a 10.5 and it was good. I think 10.5 is best, but if you got a good esc with good timing control then a 13.5 would be perfect. I will be running 10.5 sunday

[Karl Kobernus]

Ricky, what's going on with Sumter? I heard that the track was getting an overhaul to be a big oval with the offroad in the middle. Do that many people run oval?

[theycallmejam]

yes. this is a schumacher 3.5. going over 161 mph

I'm down for some VTA

[Karl Kobernus]

I'm down for some VTA

I just ordered my Shelby body and set of tires. gotta find an appropriate brushless motor and I am set.

[theycallmejam]

i could do that. that is what rock hill does, vintage touring cars. they have a fairly big race coming up.in march, called the carolina touring car series
heres the link. and they had 23 slash short cource truck jan 31

Karl,that came as a shock to me,didn't know nothing about it till it was already a done deal.yes i understand lance and don will be putting in good size oval for quarter scale racing,with plans of a small offroad in center.As of now i don't know of many oval drivers in sumter,guess they know alot of out of town drivers,i hope it works out well for them.

[ShagNasty]

What do you guys think about starting a VTA class for the on road? here's the "official" rules for them

I had mentioned before that we could run RCGT, it is getting pretty big on the west coast. Specs are:

- Any 1/10 AWD TC chassis
- Any realistic sports/GT body (no race-bred TC bodies such as the Mazda 6 and others)
- HPI X-Pattern tires
- realistic wheels (no dish rims)
- 17.5 brushless / 27T brushed motors

i think it would be a great class here, keep racing close, no big spending needed

We can run vintage or current style real car bodies. I would rather have more current body than some old camaro body on my car. Plus the x-patterns will work better on an untreated concrete surface than the VTA spec tires would. If you wanna run VTA in rockhill all you need is old school body and some of those tires/wheels.

[theycallmejam]

I hope they do well too. Can't say that oval is that big of draw for me personally. I guess I'll be seeing you and your little buddy Dell around MCR more frequently.

[Karl Kobernus]

where did ya get the body from?

Got it from Stormerhobbies.com body, tires, wheels and shipping for $60

[ShagNasty]

i see that hpi has a modern saleen mustang


yea, hpi and others have alot of modern american cars. But my thing was running a modified version of RC GT, allowing both modern and vintage bodies, but using the HPI X-Pattern tires rather than the vintage tires due to the unprepped surface we run on.

It really doesn't matter to me if we run VTA or the modified RC GT. Just as long as all the cars are on a level playing field. The reason I suggested VTA is that the final drive ratio of all the cars are supposed to be within a very close range giving noone a speed advantage and that all of the different motor/battery combos have specs that need to be followed. This way the car is taken out of the equation and it's all driving skill (of which I have very little). If the speeds are too slow I believe that the VTA has something for that as well.

Which part,the track or the drivers ??????
Oh,can i try your quarter scale sometime !

[wfw94]

Oh,can i try your quarter scale sometime !Yes you can try one, and I was referring
to the track size. We plan on having an offroad track not much smaller than it was.

[slicrick]

Sounds like fun to me,some of these guys have told me i like bumping,i'm sure the track will be fun,i'm looking forward to trying it out !!!!

[Ed Pasoquen]

Thanks to all that raced with us today, Results are posted here:

[TagDragger]

Had a blast today , just wish i wouldn't have broke . O well , there's always next time . By the way , imma let the secret out . LOL . The tires i was using today were HPI Part Number 4514 Super Radial Tire Pro Compound 26mm on 26mm wheels with a +1 offset and the foams that come with the tires . Them things had some serious grip .:easy::raceme::nanabooboo:

[slicrick]

My first on- road adventure was lots of fun,and like always,a great group of guys to have some fun with.Track was great,see ya'll soon..:guzzleit:

[Doxiedad]

My first time on the track was fun. Just opened my eyes to how much practice and skill I still need.

What time did you guys wrap up?

[Ed Pasoquen]

There was a person at the track yesterday taking some pictures, if you know who that was, please ask them to post 1 or 2 on here so other racers can see that we are racing touring cars and not just bashing .

[Doxiedad]

Better hope pics of my truck aren't there then since it spent entirely too much time with the shiny side down!

[TagDragger]

rick, i went by the track in sumter today and its just one big oval. there might be enough space in the center for a small and i mean small tenth scale track. its a big pretty oval though. i just dont think they will have the racers to support what they will be missing from loosing all the eighth scale racing.

[Dawnwalk]

Hey, Biggun

Please dont hi-jack another thread to make constructive critisisms on Sumter's track. Goto their thread. They want to hear from you and want opinions of the track but wait till its finished. So dont spread discontent around on other threads until you run on it. Try it....you might just like it.

If you would ask the right people, say on the Sumter thread, you would know that the 350' centerline oval, 75% of it will be used for the offroad track....to my calculations that's a 262' flat out run to open those .21's up and a technical section in the center for jumps and other obstacles.

I dont know what you saw out there but its not at all like you say. Yes you are not going to have 850' of jumps, bumps, and turns, but what I've seen is very impressive and will be very fun and thats what they are trying to do....make it fun and add some new classes to the mix.

If anyone has any questions about the track, ask Don and Lance on the Sumter threads.

They will be posting pictures shortly....when the track is complete.



Thanks

I just got a pair of TC1030 chargers off ebay. One of them works fine, the other one powers up correctly and everything but when I try to charge a battery it gives me “Short-circuit - Output short-circuited. Pls check the output.” It does this during the battery test before it starts charging.

I've tried several different batteries with 2 different charge leads and it does it everytime. The settings are the same on both chargers. I can take the charge lead and battery off the one that's giving me the error and plug it into the other one and it works fine.

Any suggestions?

[ShagNasty]

uh, hope you got a great deal

[Doxiedad]

uh, hope you got a great deal

Well I got both chargers for $120. Contacted seller, if he won't refund the one guess I'll have to go through paypal. Sounds like that one is shot huh?

[cjs199]

Send the seller a message that you are going to post a negative feedback. Then go through Ebay to try get them to mediate. Post a negative feedback if the seller doesn't respond to that. A negative feedback goes a long way. Ebay should also help you recover your money.

[Doxiedad]

Yeah I've allready filed a claim with Ebay about it. Contacted seller 2 days ago and nothing yet.

Starting to think maybe I should stay away from used stuff, just nice to get stuff for 1/2 price.
