9/11 Tinley Park

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.

Race Results

These are only the races Matt and I were in.

First Qualifier:


I couldn't find the second qualifier where we had to race with the electrics but here is the Third qualifier;


Final Race;

[Ponch]

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.

[RCDad]

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?

[Ponch]

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.

[Tex]

savage driver you work at LH don't you?

[Ponch]

Nope, I'm only 14. I hope to next year though...

[RCDad]

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

[Ponch]

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.

[Ponch]

Oh yeah, I painted the ugly nitro shoes rims black. Much better. I'll probably throw in some silver to make them ~fLaShY~ heh.

[RCDad]

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..

[Ponch]

Also, where did you get the race results? I want to see how badly we did compared to the a-main guys.... :bustingup

[Ponch]

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.

Too bad they don't make an on-road car as tough as a Savage

Holy crap. Look at his best lap time....19.534...I can only dream...Oh well.

[RCDad]

Well, by the end of next season I'm sure we'll be doing much better.

[Ponch]

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.

[Ponch]

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.

[RCDad]

That sucks, pretty big losses for your first time.

[Ponch]

Ehh, it's ok. I'm looking at this for a new pipe, and have been for a while. :bustingup

[RCDad]

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.

[Ponch]

OoOoOooooOooohhhh....Hehehehe!!!! :racing:
