Hopefully this thread can stay here since it's photos/videos. Had a great time today. Thanks to Bernie for reminding me to pay. People really liked my Savage. I did a couple qualifiers, I think I was mostly in the way but that's ok. I got going the wrong way with the truggy and got plowed good, busted a turnbuckle so I ended up racing the Savage.

Everyone was coming by looking at it and talking about how awsum it is Big Grin If only my driving were somewhere near as awsum.

If I saw someone there let me know because most of the time I don't remember who is who.

I'm uploading two pretty big video files right now. There both in Quicktime format so hopefully you guys have the Quicktime plugin. I did not try to convert them because of all the problems I had last time.

Here is the first video 48.1 MB http://dads-toy.com/files/01-26-06a.mov

I remember seeing your crew last week. Didn't know they belonged to you though.

I am waiting for the video to load. I don't know if it is going to work or not.

I might be up there next Sunday for racing, which means I might not go to the bash on Saturday because I don't have enough fuel.

EDIT: video is working for me.

2nd Video 37.4 MB http://dads-toy.com/files/01-26-06b.mov

If you want to come race next Sunday you can get some fuel from me, as long as you can use Blue Thunder.

Lhr 01-22-06 - UE-Maxx - 01-22-2006

I wouldn't want to switch fuels like that and me going is still up in the air. I am going to check for sure how much I have by putting it in my fuel bottle. I figure if I get there a little before 10:30 so I can still register and don't practice, I should have enough.

Lhr 01-22-06 - UE-Maxx - 01-22-2006

Did that buggy break anything that flipped after hitting the tube towards the end of the straight?

Lhr 01-22-06 - RCDad - 01-22-2006

I diden't see anything break while I was out there filming. I was shocked by those who come down the front strait and run into that wall without breaking anything.

I was giving my oldest marshalling classes, he really enjoyed that, although it took him awhile to put a truck back on the track Big Grin

I somtimes hit the wall because I started to brake to late. I woulnd't hit it fast, but I would need to be put back straight on the track.

Lhr 01-22-06 - RCDad - 01-22-2006

My Savage was like a snow plow out there today. It's so big and its hard to get around Big Grin

Lhr 01-22-06 - rocco79 - 01-22-2006

Whats your set-up? My savage will turn inside alot of trucks!

Lhr 01-22-06 - RCDad - 01-22-2006

Well, with the extended TVP's it looks huge. I had to rebore my body holes yesterday, front and back it seemed like 1"+

The Big Joe's make it look big also, plus I've got internal limitors so it's sitting wider than stock.

My wing in the back is toast by the way. By the time the first qualifier was over it was completely in pieces Big Grin

Lhr 01-22-06 - rocco79 - 01-22-2006

You wanna turn? Dump the big joes for the track go with maxx size crime fighter MT's... Shave your front knuckles to increase there throw ( you can find pick of it on savagecentral) How big are your limiters?? What shock oil you run?/ What do ou have in the diffs?

Can I do this with maxx knuckles? If so, how exactly do you do it?

RCDad, do you pay the $15 to race and not even race? I know you left early last week.

Lhr 01-22-06 - RCDad - 01-22-2006

I've got no problem turning with the Savage. Someone (from here I think) showed me that I've got my steering setup wrong on the truggy, no wonder I'm having problems.

It's worth the $15 just to practice if nothing else. Last week I didn't know. I felt like paying for last week today just so no one would think I did it on purpose.

Lhr 01-22-06 - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-22-2006

I've got 67% of the 1st video downloaded!
We couldn't come out to play this week, maybe next week.
Took the time to clean up the bench and put all the toys and tools where they belong.
Much better down there now.

I was told to boil my new wing to make it more flexible.
There are also plastic washers that go over the screws to spread the forces out and keep the screws from ripping thru the wing.

umm the vid isnt working for me... hey i didnt kno that was you rcdad i had the revo at the table across from you.... we had a conversation about fuel in the box

Lhr 01-22-06 - RCDad - 01-22-2006

Oh yeah, you were sitting across from the guy with the other Savage right?

Lhr 01-22-06 - destroy_my_revo_15 - 01-22-2006

umm there were like 3 lsts around me.... lol

Lhr 01-22-06 - FreeRideFrosty - 01-22-2006

Hmmm... I guess I missed you. I was the guy running around in a red hoody swearing at his revo because he blew 2 plugs today... yet still managed a second in the MT A-main...

Lhr 01-22-06 - RCDad - 01-22-2006

Who was in the 2nd race? Anyone? I know there was one guy with a Revo.

One thing I like about racing is, I don't care if you have a $1,000 buggy or a $200 1/10 truck, it's all about experience on the track.

Lhr 01-22-06 - FreeRideFrosty - 01-22-2006

Hmmm... I was running the beat up white and blue body with a white wing...

Lhr 01-22-06 - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-22-2006

Dan, how many MT's ran today?
