Time for an upgrade Randy! I'm using 2200 energizers, they last a really long time.

I'm using 2500mah energizers.
NiCd's??????
They go dead just looking at them. The fact that they are only 700's probably means you are lucky to be getting 500 out of them.
I'm going to see if the NiMh pack I used to use in my 3PK is still good. If it is, I will send it to you. It is made of 2700 cells. You will have to take it apart to use it most likely.
Thats what I use too, they seem to last forever!
Yeah NiCds but I have a set of green Duracell 2650 NiMh but they die overnight if I use them or not. I may get an hour or so if I charge and use them right away.
My radio can use a pack but I haven't found one with the right connector and didn't want to hassle with changing one.

I put my first run in. Not my best but at least Rob can have a target to shoot for. 
Got my first run in and it was not a good run at all. It was a battle with the AI's from start to finish. They were spaced all over the track and I never got a clean run at the track. Plus I also missed the !$#ing refuel spot and had to jack around to find it.
Even with all that I managed to edge Randy by a few seconds.

I don't get it. In practice with AI's I can run smooth, clean and fast. As soon as I start the on-line race it all goes in the shitter. Car does not feel the same and the AI's are constantly in the way. Added a lap, but I should be doing 2 laps better. I'm not even sure I want to run a third time.
Piss on it!
I went ahead and made my final attempt and tried a new tactic. I went with what the track and AI's were giving me and didn't push it at all. Best I did in practice was 48 laps in 12 minutes, so 47 isn't bad.
It's now your race to win Randy. Good luck bud.

Not as an excuse but the last two races to me have felt way different online apposed to offline. Its usually a little different but it just seems like they last two times was a huge difference like I was driving a different rig each time.
Pfft... I've complained about that from when I started. Last week was one of the worst though.
Rob,the batts are charging again,I'm coming after you later!
Woohooo! 
I got you by 2.375 seconds! :whhooo:

You can do better than that. Run again. Or are you 
The pisser part is I lost simply because when I left the pit I ran right into the stupid tire and had to marshal out. That cost me at least 5-6 seconds.
Speaking of pit, why couldn't you make the race with only one?

Too fast I guess, LOL Really I don't know,I tried tonight to change it so I could run longer. I changed to the bottom end/bottom/bottom and then changed length to get a torque curve I liked but about the 5:30 mark I was out no matter what. Times dropped slightly too so I went back to the Mid/Mid/Mid with a 4mm length and hoped I could pit cleanly. I have to drive real slow coming out to avoid doing the same thing you did.
P.S I ain't
and I ain't :kookoo: I got the win unless someone runs at the last minute and knocks me off but then I'm still ahead of you and I still have the fast lap
