whens dan gonna post his first race ..im ready to get it on ...got me a new car and motor ..ready to eat some a dat terrace row :football:

[Chappy]

Hopefully he will have a schedule up soon as I want to be more active this year with my racing. I do believe I remember when I stopped by the shop a little bit back that he said something about late February maybe. Can't wait!

Hey Zixxer you gonna race that Strike this year, I think I finally got mine to handle decent. I was worried there for a while but now I don't think it is much slower than my X Factory (assuming I can manage a race with few brain farts).

[momo.75]

Can't wait for Dan to have a race....:)

[kel_racing]

anyone up for helping build a pit lane, cant wait to get to racin'

Jose, this is a smack talk thread. You need to say, "I'm ready to whip everyone's butt!"

I won't say that though...

LOL.....I've learned from racing real cars for years....you keep your mouth shut before and after the race. If you do good, people will notice. My theory though is complete opposite of Blake " The Jedi"......he talks smack before, during and after the race...even if he's last place....lol. He talks trash to me in the car on the way to the track...haha

Couldn't put it in front of the drivers stand. Terrace is in the way of moving the lang out. Could maybe built it on the drivers stand leg post.:poo::D

I agree Chuck..The only way it would work is if the driver stand was moved back 6-8ft or build a bench that would be built around the driverstand legs,like Dan use to have at the old location. The bench always worked great for us...

I got the body painted for my sc10. I went with Tamiya bright yellow and Spaz Stix chrome. It turned out a little brighter than I wanted it too.
I am a little dissapointed in my truck though, :confused:

[WANARUN]

Look at it from this point of view. Everybody will be distracted by the brightness that it will mess them up and they will lose ground while you hammer down.:bubblebath:

[slashracer111]

What did you back your Spaz Stix Chrome with?

White, I wish I would have used black though. :confused: I really messed up my colors. I painted yellow FIRST then chrome. I was going to do white and yellow, but I changed my mind and didn't think about it :o

Its normal chrome. Its just the angle of the pic and how the sun is reflecting off of it makes it look wierd.

My mini revo hates diffs, it eats them twice a week. :confused: :mad: I replaced one last week in the rear, and one yesterday in the front. I stripped a rear one today. My slipper is extremely loose, too. I have replaced bearings, bulkheads, complete diffs, driveshafts, and just about everything else that I could replace to keep it from stripping. :confused:

Oh well. I think thats diff #8 or #9 today. :badbad:

[kel_racing]

how was the racing?

[slashracer111]

how was the racing?

Non existent :( 5 people showed up.

Me, David, and Pete had our 2wd slashes, so we had a little race between us. The truggy guys marshaled for us, then we marshaled for them.

I had a blast! Just as fun as a race day. Got my gearing on both of my trucks setup, got to run down quite a few 5000 lipos. :D

The race dates have been established so far, The first and third saturdays of each month are race days.

[jared52]

Yeah, calling for a race day the day before is tough. Folks either had plans (like myself) or couldn't get their stuff together in time. How was the track?

[slashracer111]

It was slick. It was a little moist in some of the higher traffic areas, but it was mostly dusty. Anything out of the "groove" that all 5 of us made it was like sandy. Dan raked the track with his tractor, so it made it loose. My calibers on my sc10 wheren't worth anything out there. It was fun drifting around though :)

WHOO HOO what a race day. I didn't really race open, but I won Mini Revo and Spec slash. I was racing with 4x4 slashes and got first out of them too. (Kinda)

Momo, If it wasn't for the tires you sent me, I wouldn't have won. Thanks again.

I am changing my signature btw :D

[WANARUN]

How was the attendants today? And how any showed for the truggy class?
I've got to get the shelve queen on the track. Had a good party today but my mind was at the track quite often:dizzy:. Last kid just has left,,,, just 6 1/2 hr.s after he got here!!!:googles:

[kel_racing]

man how was everything im down in tuscaloosa for drill for army reserves so i had to miss out on all rc this weekend i hope next will be as pretty!!!

[jzrevo]

Track was loose, but awesome. The extra jumps are welcomed, and overall more fun track then ever. My Mugen's didn't let me down except for the main. The pinion on the truggy came off, but before that she was stupid fast. Alot faster then my Losi was....even with the extra jumps, my mugen put down a faster lap time then my Losi....lol. The buggy was oustanding and pulled out a win with it. Good turnout in buggy and good to see Doc out there again in his new Losi 2.0 and George and David were rocking the D8's brushless style and a few more Losi 2.0's out there rocking the nitro mills. Great day indeed..... The 1/10th open class was BY FAR the biggest class....the driver stand looked like a sardine can...:eek:

My wife surprised me in Corr 4X4. She pulled out a win for only her 2nd race out there.....2 races and 2 wins for her.....:eek: She needs to turn pro....lol

[slashracer111]

It was a great race day!!!

[slashracer111]

They worked great! They hooked pretty much the same all day with a slow boat, Oh, I mean my slash. I TQ'd and got first place with it. :)

[jzrevo]

Yeah Calibers hooked pretty decent on the SCT's. I had them on my Corr conversion that my wife drove. Tail end was a little happy on it, but that is more setup changes.

[jzrevo]

Jeff you getting ready for the race this weekend?

[slashracer111]

Woo hoo what a race day!

Mostly a great day for me. I was 1st, 2nd, and 3rd throughout the different heats with my mini revo and my slash.

I was in first most of the main in my slash, but at 1:30 to go I broke somthing. :mad: O well, just need to use some Loc-Tite next time.
Didn't get to race my mini in the main, because it was dark. I set a new personal best lap time today, 35 seconds with my mini revo!

Had a blast, see everyone in 2 weeks. :)

[WANARUN]

I set a new personal best lap time today, 35 seconds with my mini revo! :)

Got to be a new track record little dude.

[WANARUN]

Mains wouldn't good to me either. Had two small rock get in between the flywheel and the chassis brace and kill the engine,,,,TWICE. Pete told me he could see sparks coming out of the bottom when I was going over a jump. Traction was hard to find allday for all the truggies and buggies. Other wise, talk about a turn radius, dude the Muuugen has got it. And the O'Donnells .21 is A HOSS. Bottom end was way to touchy for me. Jab the throttle from a stop or a slow turn and you are going around the wrong way. Definately torqie. Think I'll go up on the clutch bell one tooth to settle to motor a tad and also for the back straight.

[jzrevo]

Wow what a race day. Lots of truggy's......actually to many. Track was packed with some fast drivers. Good to see Dewayne potter come down from TN. Chuck, your truggy looked awesome...just crappy luck, also I think the half offset wheels might be hurting you too. I had a good day except picked the wrong tires for the main in truggy and MT. Still got the wins though in MT it was just about impossible to see the track...lol. The buggy was dialed.....couldn't complain. Got the buggy down to the low 35's....happy so far.

[WANARUN]

I've got both, the half off sets and 0 off sets. Ran o offset in 2 races and the 0 offsets in 2 races. In the main, I ran the 0 off set Calipers and the back end was so well planted that the front in was skating alot and coming off the ground. May have to do so mixing them up alittle with other tires to relieve the rear grip some. And got to learn to the truck alittle more and learn to ease into the throttle with the O'Donnell engine.

Yeah in the main I chose the wrong tires (Ibeams) and payed for it. The truck had ZERO side bite, but had TONS of forward traction and it made the truggy push bad as well. I think city blocks would have been the ticket or some gridirons. That track was hooking in the main unreal. Hats off to Dan for making the track WAY more challenging. Lots of jumps and whoops.......only the straight left now for high speeds....rest has bumps or jumps somewhere...lol

chuck what clutch did you use ..if you run the reg hard shoes on the m2c it will give you that slip you need especially with that powerhouse motor you got ..if you did run the m2c with reg hard shoes with the 1.0 springs ..try 2 shoes with .90 springs and 2 shoes with the 1.0 it will give even more spool up so the motor can get reving ..sounds like you had an awesome fun time ..i hope so that mugen is an awesome truck :D

try bowties in the rear and crime fighters in the front lpr ...or i always ran crimefighters all the way around ..theres way to much loose stuff and rock (unless the surface changed ) to run anything small pin ...i always had to run big pin to get side bite at cullman ...just my .02 ...me and schmitty coming out there in a couple a weeks ....just follow his lead on truggy tires ..hes got it figured out ...and hes got a million different sets of tires to try ...maybe it will be like mad maxx he might have a magic set of tires for ya :D..oh and did ya try gators ;)

[jzrevo]

Anyone know what the final finishing orders were?? I left since it was dark. I know in truggy their was a mix up.

[WANARUN]

I was probably dead last. Rocks, flywheel,starter pan hole= dead last. But I had a fun day and it was a good truggy crowd.

Bryan, I ran the stock Mugen clutch set up. Ran it during brake-in and haven't changed it yet. Definately didn't slip any but the way the engine revs ain't much time to slip.

After talking with Dan....truggy 1st -4th it was , Me, Dewayne Potter, David Turner, Cavin Riddle. The paper had some folks in the wrong place due to the lap counters not catching everyone.. The other classes I don't know since we had 1/10th open, corr, mini Revo and 4X4 SCT....etc

Corr class: Pete won, I came in 5th due to a DNF
Mini revo- We didn't get to race the main. I would have been 1st in mini revo if we went off of the mains line up.
4x4- Kevin would have been first, 2nd would be Tonya.

what springs did you run? i would def try the m2c with reg hard shoes 1.0 all around ..call me and lemme know next time your racing out there i know your schedule is crazy ..me and schmitty coming oout one weekend ...i wanna make sure its a weekend your gonna be there ;)

Do you still have your strike? Corr class is fun this year, you should come up and race with us. :cool:

[Chappy]

I thought the track was great this weekend, the changes made were really very nice. I especially liked the little jump after the big double, it seemed to help curtail some of the hail mary jumps the 1/8th guys go for.

Even my 1/10 buggy was cooperating on it and I got second even after the transmission started to let go half way through the race. I could even strafe the tops of the whoops like a motocrosser (they normally swallow it up and get it all out of shape). I just still didn't have anything for Paw-Paw, though I must admit the traditional first corner pile up didn't help much (I always end up on bottom with the buggy). I was planning of retiring the X-Factory buggy as it is a bit fragile for a 1/8 type track but I am having second thoughts considering how good it felt this weekend.

I broke my CORR truck in the second heat but should be going again in two weeks, along with a Ho Bao Hyper 10SC for 4x4 CORR.

I agree with JZRevo, probably too many truggies, I know I was just about exhausted after each time I marshalled it (and spent most of the time praying I wouldn't get ran down :D ).

[WANARUN]

Ain't no such thing as too any truggies. Just a track full of truggies:funkyDancer:

Well I just know that what Dan said. I took what plaque he gave me. I hope it didn't make anyone mad. I thought I was in 3rd at the last but the papers said I was 2nd. Maybe at the next race the counter will be fixed. I hate running races to where people have to count b/c 9 time out of 10 someone gets laps not counted.

But I want to say guys I had a great time and My Dad really enjoyed it too. I think thats the most fun we have had in awhile. Its so much more fun with several than just 3 to 4. I want to thank you guys for showing us a good time and being so nice to us.. We will be back for sure..

[cobra]

That truggy class looked like a lot of fun...well... and scary as crap! man those things are big when half a dozen are flying at you together! I need to get me some of that!

I don't know about that monster truck class though... When it gets that dark it's just downright dangerous...

Yeah truggy was nuts. Trucks flying all over the place and when it gets dark its even worse. I had trouble seeing mine since its painted black (dumb move by me). Next body will be bright..... The laptimes were competitive all day in truggy, quite a few were running 40.XX and below, so made for close racing all day. Even Chuck threw down 40.XX's on 1st time out with his mugen. Blake went 39.8XX and he was stoked. David Turner was running 39's and Dewayne as well. Bumper to bumper....

[cobra]

LOL! That might be the only smart rc move I've made so far... My truck is so bright I can drive it at night, with sunglasses on, in my dreams and still have afterglow. Now, I just need to get around to painting the rest of my cars up that way.

I believe that Dan is having some problems with the transponders. The house transponders are starting to get worn down, they aren't counting laps and they are loosing battery life. I believe he is sadly going to do away with them once there are a few that are left working. That is fine for the "true" racers or people that have personal transponders, but the people who want to just come to a race and have fun, without spending 110$ on a transponder, are kinda in a bind. I don't have one, but I am going to buy one next week.

I thought I would post that so everyone would know what would be down the road. ;)

you can get mrt transponders from england ..the cost 63 dollars ..there is a guy on rc tech who gets an order up every so often ....they have primary number and 20 other possible numbers ..if some one has the number you have ...not likely ..you can program it to one of the other 20 numbers ...jason schmitty just got on board with one ..we will see how it works ..but most have said there awesome ...also they have a plug in ...in the side ...so gone would be the day of sending one back to amb only to find they wont repair the broken wires ...its worth a look

Thank you for posting that Zixx! I am going to look into that right now. :)

Edit: I just read alot of stuff about it. It looks like it doesn't work with the newest version of the AMB systems. I will probably buy a AMB one. I would rather get one now, instead of saving 30$ and waiting a long time for it to get here.

[ZIXXER]

from everything i can tell they are awesome ...mainly they are smaller better built ...and the wires plug in instead of going in to the case ....if i wasnt unempployed i would be on the order list ..this is the second or third time this guy has made a bulk order ..never any complaints ....they work with all scoring software

[momo.75]

They are really good transponders. One of the Magazine editors did an article on them last year and gave them great reviews. I have meant to send one over and have it cloned, but just never pulled the trigger. You guys should jump on them. You also might want to let Dan know about them so he could get some for the shop as a much cheaper option...:)

momo just so you know these are not cloned ..they are the same people making them ..the just have a primary number ..and then 20 other possible numbers you can reprogram ...even more reason to buy em ..you dont gotta send yours over there :D

Yeah, i knew these were that set-up, but if you go to their site you can send a AMB transponder over and have it cloned as many times you want and have different colored leds and wrap.....pretty cool idea, but more expensive than these. Now that I think about it, I don't think they had these when I looked at them back then....this is a cool option.

I wish.....it has been really bad. Elise got it about a week and a half ago, on a Thursday. Joe started getting sick that Sunday...was better Monday but started getting sick again on Tuesday. Susan started getting sick Tuesday night, then it hit me Wednesday night. When I got sick, Susan got her parents to come over from Mississippi to pick up the kids, because we thought they were over it....well....her mother started getting sick that Saturday, then her father and brother got sick that Sunday......we drove over Sunday picked them up and drove back. This morning Joe was really upset because his stomach was hurting so bad. Come to find out he has a Bacterial infection in his colon.......so it is still kicking our tails. Since it is bacterial, it is very contagious, so Elise can't even go to school for a while.

I was feeling ok Saturday, but not nearly enough to be out there racing. I almost came down to watch some, but didn't want to get around everybody and get them sick. this was/is some bad stuff......:poo:

Thanks. At that point i was absolutely worn out. I lost 12 lbs in about a day and a half. i lost track of how many times I blacked out.......bad, bad stuff. Thursday i ate 2 crackers and maybe three sips of chicken broth.......Thank god for Watson living close to a KFC and passing by the house on Friday.....plain mashed potatoes hit the spot.

I was thinking that the other day too...


Maybe we need to just make a order ourselves. :p

I also saw some transponders from mylaps.com. They look alot like the AMB's and are in the US. I believe they are 80$, but they are like the amb's, actually better looking. I will get a link.
Nevermind, it's for a different system.

I don't have the skills to race open, I stick to trucks that go under 30mph... :o

Really though, I have always liked 10th scale open. It would be funner for me if I had a "true" race truck, like a t4 or somthing, I am sure you'd like it.

:hamster:

On the sc10, the way that the shock towers sit and how the rear of the chassis comes up right beside the motor, and how most of the motor is covered by the tranny case, well, I don't think there is any air getting to the motor at all. I am running wayyyy to hot, I have even reageared it a few times. I figured running brushless on 2s would be a little more efficient, so it would be faster and run cooler. :cool:

Actually the CORR guys at Cullman are waaaaaaay cleaner than the 1/10 guys for the most part. That and when you do get together with someone at least you don't get all tangled up like with the ST's and buggies.

that's kinda what I mean... you can jostle each other so much in corr it makes for a good time... but since they don't tangle it stays pretty clean (till you catch a nose to that back quarter and spin)...

but when I race anything else I try a little harder to not tangle up... not that I succeed - I spend half of each race on my back or on somebody elses... :football:

**For Sale**....i have had this SC10 RTR since before Christmas and have yet to run it. i took it out of the box once, just to look at it, but that is it. Since I got the Slash 4x4 I haven't really been too interested in it. It is this exact truck. I will let it go for $200.

well your just the shell answer man arent you :workingaway: what about my other questions answer man ...just seems funny they are not on here posting ....almost as funny as me smoking your azz in buggy in a week ....i just wish cullman ran 10 minute mains instead of 15 .....:moonya:...oh but wait there would be a mandatory pit or something ....hey that brings up my next question for you answer man .....dan runs 15 minutes mains ..does he still force people who dont have to.....to pit every 5 minutes :thinkhard:

In case you haven't noticed, I'm not Dan or Angie so I can't answer as to why they aren't here. :p

Oh, I might be behind you coming up to put you another lap down. :cool: By the time you and your dad get through running each other off the track you might actually make a couple of laps. :moonya::funkyDancer::lol-floor:

Brushless SC10 is in da house! I don't know if I am going to race it, because as far as I am concerned this 17.5t system will whoop a stock sc10. It's pretty quick. :rolleyes:

I do have a slight problem though :( Once you get up to wide open throttle, my motor bogs. It like goes really quick then it just kinda screeches and slows down. It's like a brushed motor without bushing oil. I am not sure what to do, any suggestions?
:thinkhard:

****I talked to Dan today about the transponders and the AMB system today!****
Important! Since the AMB system was struck my lightning, Dan ordered a new loop and one of those little boxes that was fried. It should be here this Thursday! Saying that, the AMB counting system will be back to working properly, so no more of that mess that happened last race. ;)

There are currently 4 or 5 "house" transponders that are working properly. Dan was thinking about doing away with them completely. But today, he told me that he had changed his mind. He is going to send all the house transponders back to AMB. Then there will have 100% working house transponders. He never gave a exact date, but it will probably be in the next month or so.

Well, you know I just got that Duo 2 myself for the Strike and just put it in today and it did not do that. Ran extremely quiet actually. It does jump really strong out of the hole and seems to go sorta flat on top (and I went up 2 teeth from the brushed setup for a bit more top speed for Cullman). Have you advanced the timing from stock? Maybe if you did it is getting hot. Perhaps put some oil on the bearings, maybe they got away from the factory dry.

I can't tell how it feels speed wise compared to the stock motor, I need to go to the track to see it in the context of that enviroment to tell if it feels better (never drive at the house to have a place for comparison).

Did you end up using the Castle or VXL, I wanted to use my old regular Mamba Max but the motor refused to setup at all, not sure what that is about since that motor is supposed to work sensorless. So I put it on the VXL and it seems to work about the same sensored or not, I just wanted the adjustments of the Mamba.:(

Got the Ofna Hyper 10SC up and going too and it straight rips, it is gonna be a blast. Only thing is it threw the pinion off in a couple minutes (and it was Locktite'd). The pinion was an extra hole in it though so I think I will just drop an extra screw in for insurance. If I can get it to handle decent it should be pretty rowdy.

I really hope that "flat spot" on top isn't what is happening. :( I already sent a email to one of Trinity's reps about it, I hope to get a email back asap. I haven't adjusted timing because one of the screws in the endbell where stripped from the factory. I wasn't planning on changing it anyway.I was thinking about the bearings being dry, but I don't know. If they where, wouldn't that affect lower speed drivability? (Is that a word :p)

That Old Mamba may be set up with a older version of Castle link or somthing? You should hook it up to castle link and reset all the settings to default. Maybe it will work then.

I am running the VXL. My sensor wire isn't long enough to reach from my motor to my esc though. :( It may work with my slash if I mount the esc toward the back, but I don't think it's going to matter anyway.

Grrr Trinity....

I updated the firmware on the Castle before even trying so it is not that, I read on rctech today about some people having cogging issues on the Sidewinder so I figured that it would at least try to work on the Mamba. It may just be my esc as it wouldn't be the first time I needed to send it to Castle to get worked on.

I didn't see much difference between the VXL sensored or not, every once in a while it cogged a little but not as much as it didn't cog at all. Let me know what you find out from Trinity.

We typically don't have enough electric cars to have another class. The gas racers are still around and aren't going anywhere.

Good deal! We always enjoy running with Dan. You should saw my jaw hit the floor when Jose came around me on the straight...I was running a WS72 that's got less than a gallon on it... I know its haulin' serious azz...Dewayne was laughin at me over that...I've never ran against electrics and didn't realize how fast they are...On the trip back to Nooga I told Dewayne "I got to have one of those"! Jose drove a good race in the 3rd rd. I couldn't do anything but hold my line. Guess he got tired of seein' the back of my losi and that's when he passed me on the straight....my jaw still hurts!!!LOL!!

hehe, I have her geared for 36-37mph depending on tire growth. Most of the time on the straights the nitro's are the same. Nate and Bucky usually are faster then us electrics on the straights with their nitros....I think the gear up 1 more tooth on Dan's track since its so wide open.

Lots of new racers. We all started last year in Feb (Myself, Blake, Dylan, Jared...etc) and mostly in MT except for Jared which started in 1/8th buggy. We have all migrated to other classes now and some of us just liked the electrics. Some of the nitro guys have converted to electrics and some have converted to nitro from electric. One thing is for sure Dan's track has a good mix of both and makes for some close racing. As for the pits......if all the cars elect to have no pits in a 10min race then he will allow it. But if just one nitro has to pit in those 10 mins, then everyone has to including the electrics.

[Chill Will]

I think I need to break in this .28 for my buggy.

hehe... .28 would be 40mph plus on the straights. You would be Blake speed....lol. He is the fastest electric no doubt on the straights. He gears for 40+mph but never finishes a race...lol. Always crashing due to his crazy speeds..... I think everbody has told him slower is faster....:D

wheres some of those videos got a link ...and yeh it just matters how consistant you are ..top speed and fast lap usually never win a race ...but if you can consistantly get your lap times lower then its all good ..which i know you have worked hard to do ...i still think you ready to take the rookie tag off ...:nanabooboo:

My buddy was taking video of all the races.....copied it onto a DVD for me. Yeah the Rookie name was good for 1 year...lol. I am now at 1 year and 1 month...lol.... Consistent always wins races.....that is why Chill is hard to beat. When he is on his game, his laps might not be the fastest for the day but they will be within .1th every lap and within a few .Xths off the fastest laps.....almost impossible to beat that.

Your theory is flawed. I'm consistent and I don't win. Consistently slow. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA but you just said consistent. :D I'm working on it though. Hoping to get either a HB D8T, or a 8T 2.0 soon, still deciding which to get. Hopefully a better truck will help me out. Until then I'm going to keep putting Micheal's 8T 1.0 through it's paces.

They used to have the race results in J-Lap, but I believe thier subscription ended so they stopped posting results. Last year, Angie scanned a few pages and posted them, that was at Tech Talk. I am sure someone could get all the listings at the race, then scan them and post them. I have a scanner, and could probably do it for a few races. ;)

Yep,time for the "rookie" tag to be gone!
Jose had no comp till the 3rd rd. I found a good set up and he had to run me down. That's when I found out that the E's can reach down and pull a rabbit out of the hat!LOL!!
The green D8 and a black and green ? had to be on Jose's payroll,cause they tackled me at the first turn in the main... broke the right rear a arm. I got to hobble off the stand mumbling profanities along the way...gotta love this sport!

I have my endpoints centered up and it still feels a little flat on top and it should be fine that way.

I love that, the major marketing point of the Duo is its ability to run sensorless (hence the Duo part of the name I assumed) and they want you to get a sensored speed control. There website says it works with all older sensorless designs even or something to that effect.

I knew I should have got the Tekin (or Hacker), I let nostalgia take over and ordered the Duo based on how good Trinity was back in the day and should have remembered that since they became Team Epic they have gone downhill.

Maybe fooling with the timing will liven it up on top some, we'll see if it keeps working.

all you new guys going brushless the speed controls you have should work just fine... you are going to have to play with your gearing quite a bit to get the motors to run correctly... i have not run the any of the trinity epic motors but i do know that the brushless motors are tourq monsters... you will more than likely need to gear up 2 or more teeth to get the speed out of it... just keep an eye on the temp... i dont like mine to get any hotter than 160 deg... as far a the sensor stuff all the sensor really will do for ya is smooth out the low speed and take off... hope this might help some of ya!!! i am not an expert at all on brushless, i will try and help out anyone that wants help with making the switch... i may be at cullman this week again to race...i am still working on the kitchen pass...:D:D:D

of course, all of us talking about our new brushless are driving in the corr class and only have low speed :)... I put a novak on mine this weekend and I do like the feel of it a little better at low speed. I geared based on the (novak) motor load chart and I definitely had to gear up from stock to get anything out of it.

[jzrevo]

To me sensored is a big gimic. Most of the systems that are sensored are only that on the get go and then convert to sensorless anyway beyond a certain shaft speed.

sensored is definitely smoother than non sensored ..but to me it just adds another connection to fail ...so sensorless it is ..if i ran electric :rolleyes:

I always felt that way too... hence, all my mamba motors and escs... but I went with a sensored system this time cause I'm tired of having to work so hard to find motors that fit my goals... and it just happens that I like the feel of it better... I don't even know if I could put a finger on what it is exactly I'm noticing but there's something I've liked better so far... of course, I haven't raced it this way yet...

Should have spoken with me. Don't waste your time with anything other then MMP, Tekin....the rest....junk. Motors, if you want to do it right.....NEU, Lehner, Castle, Tekin...etc. in that order. NEU is the top of the food chain with kevlar wrapped rotors....then the rest follow. All of those companies offer a 540 equiv. motor and 17.5T or 13.5T variant.

Yes on startup they are a little smoother, but with the switching speeds of the MMP and MMM and on the horizon the Mamba HV they are just as smooth. Trust me I have a new 8S setup with a big motor and LOW KV and its smoother then butter. I will have it out there this weekend for testing, your more then welcome to drive it. The power and efficiency of LOW KV and HV is unreal. I have been sharing some data with Jarvis on what I'm seeing on the logs and its incredible. 30-60mins run times with no stops are coming.:)

[Chill Will]

Jose, 10th scale is different than 8th. A sensored system is much better than sensorless on the smaller trucks and buggies. If you were racing on asphalt it would be different.

The power and efficiency of LOW KV and HV is unreal. I have been sharing some data with Jarvis on what I'm seeing on the logs and its incredible. 30-60mins run times with no stops are coming.:)

And seperating electric and nitro will be coming also.

"Should have spoken with me. Don't waste your time with anything other then MMP, Tekin....the rest....junk. Motors, if you want to do it right.....NEU, Lehner, Castle, Tekin...etc. in that order. NEU is the top of the food chain with kevlar wrapped rotors....then the rest follow. All of those companies offer a 540 equiv. motor and 17.5T or 13.5T variant."

Ha Ha! I did talk to you before a little (ok very little) before I ordered the Buggy and the Monster Truck's motors/escs... I went with Tekin on them... Probably wouldn't be the one you'd choose but I am happy so far... If I could drive them as well as they are capable I'd do ok I think. But at least Tekin made your list :) .

I love my Novak (sensored) in the RC10T4, but would never run them in 1/8 scale. I tried a sensorless setup on a XXX-T stadium truck and didn't like it and sold it. Castle has fixed all the bugs in the sensorless controllers since then, and they are suppose to be just as smooth. The first guy that converted at our track burned up three or four of those HV controllers under braking. He was also running Max Amp packs.

I know.....I have been hearing the crying in MT class for sometime already. :). It will trickle to truggy and buggy I'm sure.

[jzrevo]

Jose, 10th scale is different than 8th. A sensored system is much better than sensorless on the smaller trucks and buggies. If you were racing on asphalt it would be different.

Willie, no doubt especially with the older stuff. This new breed of sensorless controllers with fast switching makes them just as smooth now. The new stuff coming will make it transparent.

Tekin is top notch stuff so far from what I have tested on their motor. I will be testing their ESC this weekend with a HV setup on a buggy and new HV LOW KV motor and much smaller motor. Probably will blow up or overheat, but I want to try it....lol. Will have to work the bugs out this weekend, hopefully Cookie will go easy on me. :football:

Well, with the results being as good as it is in runtime, the price of a good brushless system is what you would pay for a Vspec, and the cost of lipos being $30.00 the electric classes will be there. Separation of the classes might not be a bad thing once it happens.

[jzrevo]

Here is a little cool video..... 1 E-revo vs bunch of E-truggies.....

Fast foward to the 6:00min mark.......E-revo is the dark body truck behind Caster's driver Rick Jenkins at the 6:10 mark is the pass of the century!!!!! The dude driving that E-revo is AWESOME.

Jared, you an electric guy? I didn't know that.

With any luck I'll have both my Tekins running saturday... one is still on backorder... and we'll be able to see how my stuff and your stuff work out... now, mine is a little different anyways since I'm using a mechanical brake... It'll be a good time.

I ran the Monster Truck in Florence Saturday... and it felt real quick to me. I hadn't driven anything but my SC10 in ages so I was killing myself on jumps and tight turns...

I prefer running with the Nitro's be honest with you. I have never had as much fun as racing against Cookie in truggy ,his nitro Jammin X2 and my Losi 8T 2.0 E-truggy were neck and neck at Madmaxx all day. We swapped spots at least 10 times.......in E-truggy you will typically get the kids that want to gear for 88mph to warp back to the future.

[jared52]

SC10. My 8ight 2.0 buggy is still sporting the Losi 350. Can't give up the sound and smell of nitro yet.

The dance icon was for the fact I wouldn't have to run against the speed demons those electrics are.

[Jarvis]

That Revo was sick. I said it once and I will say it again the E-Revo and Jose's concoction are not monster trucks, by MY standards, but freaks of nature.

[jared52]

Jarvis, you coming this weekend?

[jzrevo]

My Losi LST is not a freak of nature....its more like a lab rat. ;)

[jzrevo]

..

Yep,time for the "rookie" tag to be gone!
Jose had no comp till the 3rd rd. I found a good set up and he had to run me down. That's when I found out that the E's can reach down and pull a rabbit out of the hat!LOL!!
The green D8 and a black and green ? had to be on Jose's payroll,cause they tackled me at the first turn in the main... broke the right rear a arm. I got to hobble off the stand mumbling profanities along the way...gotta love this sport!


I don't know who's buggy it was but it was fast on the straights with whatever nitro motor he was running. It was a rocket. Pulled me on the straight.

Maybe top speed, but acceleration is no match.

He beat me out of the corner and on the straight. I have mine pulled back though by 60% on punch. I run mine with a nitro powerband......I can get ALOT more punch, but not any faster since I get alot more wheel spin instead of forward movement.

But you could over power a nitro if you wanted to, it's just a setting on your radio.

Pound for pound the electrics are better. There's no shame in that. It's fine. I like nitro. To each his own! :)

@protechrc
My D8 is florescent yellow. There were two other D8s in the main and I don't remember their color. If I did break you it wasn't on purpose. Jose is a good friend of mine, but I won't to beat him all the same. Funny thing is I don't remember hitting anybody. I hope you guys come back and race with us again.
