I have a b6.3D and ran it last season but converted it to carpet after I scored a killer deal on a 22 5.0 elite. It is sick. I just changed the C block for brass and softer tires and it is rocking very good lap times with fantastic acceleration is loose dirt and dust. But I have a bunch of parts...
Wrenching on the dirt race track all day. My back, legs and arms are fried. Wrestling the big pipes into place and driving big long nails through the drain pipes that mark the lanes was exhausting.
First points race is tomorrow morning.
Still no wrenching for me. Just walking around in my shop. Sorted some parts. I pulled up the drain tile pipes that make up the outdoor racetrack. A guy with a bull dozer completely removed last years track and built a new layout. I’m going over there now to start putting the track back...
No wrenching for me. I am in a place I could never imagine. I don’t need or want anything. It’s very strange.
It’s between racing seasons. Oval starts a summer season filled with fun race practice and general oval stuff. But won’t start till mid May. All my cars are ready and I have been to the...
Took my RJ modified oval car to the track today for testing. They said we are to fast and they took the 20 turn motor and made us run a 27 turn axial motor for next season. I was going 3.7 second laps and they want 4.2 second laps from the modified cars. Today with the 27 turn motor fresh out of...
I use a sharpie all the time to outline windows.
Today I spent the morning figuring out the gearing for a new truck class that starts next season. They wanted to use 21-26 pinion gears but the 26 was so slow it would not be fun. So I did a bunch of testing and I think 26-30 tooth pinions will...
I wish I was wrenching but I am waiting for parts. I have this theory about parts delivery. No mater how far the package has to travel. What you need the most takes the longest to arrive.
I ordered a set of rear pivot pins for my eb410. When I upgraded to the eb410.2 I swapped over the pins to...
Been tuning on my Techno EB410. I bought it used and got it on the track pretty quick. But after going through it for a week I’m still finding things that don’t match the set up sheet. I’m not trying to say it was set up wrong, just not set up to the set up sheet. I am going to run again this...
So someone said “ why do people run three link with chassis mounted servo if they never compete.” This is regarding building cheater rigs.
I know four link with servo on axle has a lot of plus going for it. But never gave it a thought.
Just converted my cheater rig to servo on axle. . I like it...
Just at the end of my Sunday morning craw with the club. I got a vine wrapped around my front axle I gunned it forward and it spun the back tires only.
last night I noticed the bolts had come loose in the front ring gear. So I tightened them up. I think they had actually stretched. Because...
