Does anyone have experience with louise rc tires? Any input?

Charging up a battery, gonna hit the baseball diamond again and see what difference the locked rear makes in the dirt.

No other changes but the diff locker

If you're someone who enjoys an activity that is hyper focused on 1 thing....oval could be for you.

We took our 1/8 Buggies to a 1/10 dirt oval when our usual track was closed, and to be honest, I found it boring in comparison to Off-Road, but different strokes for different folks?...

My buddy and I both got pretty consistent - both had timed 10 laps runs in the 1:15 range (7.5 secs/lap), seems that 1/10 is running 10+ seconds/lap when you look at their race results.

I could see how a locked rear diff would indeed make it easier to "spin out"!...

(Edited to add) Put a spool/locker in that center diff so your front end pulls you through?...

In all fairness you may have cheated yourself out part of the challenge. 1/8 is gonna be wider, with bigger wheels, and less effected by any imperfection in track surface. But I agree, not everything is for everyone

Understood. I can't get into "everything", so focusing on 1/8 for now. I'm sure it's much more of a Challenge when you have ten of those 1/10 "Outlaws" on that (banked) oval!...

Nice we have a place with an oval about 2 hours away. If I can get this thing right I might make the trip out there.

If anyone remembers what it is. An app I think, allows for tracking lap times based on color selection and use of the phone camera. This is running oval laps, and has a big red shell that should be easy for the camera to pick up accurately. Should make for a good test subject for the software.

Did you guys see this post?


Seems like it might be worth a shot. Its nice that you can contact the developer directly if you have questions or problems.

Open source if you are one of those digitalmatical types of ppl too.

Gonna see if I can figure this out. Looks free....already interesting,lol

Thanks!

Wheels and tires coming. Spur gear and esc/motor combo should be here tomorrow. Open invite to a local backyard oval acquired. This is starting to get interesting...

 

[Ritz413]

New parts have arrived...muwahahaha!

 

[Ritz413]

Brushless system installed. Moved to the dumborc controller for max adjustibility options.
I have bought enough used rc to know that not everyone takes their time and makes solder joints that are good to look at...or functional. That is not the case here

 

[Ritz413]

According to the interwebs the car should now have a top speed of 43+mph

Body has been ordered...non traditional for oval....but damn good looking

The dog is not impressed...

 

[Ritz413]

Looks like I should get to run it tomorrow with the new brushless upgrade. The rain is supposed to stop at 4 today, which should be perfect. I think I get the best traction on the baseball diamond when it has some moisture in it. I also think with the new motor it may be fast enough I have out grown the small oval the diamond allows. Should be good enough to check the motor temp etc. The spur gear did not fit, so I have changed the pinion instead....we shall see.
I have a spot with bigger dirt...but it's further away. The old: the faster it gets the more effort I have to make to use it ploy....
