I've had three adapters now, the first one I had that I sold to Joe last year, then two this year, and all three are the same for me, I have to mess with wiggling them around for a while and watch that little box I mentioned and wait for it to get recognized. Every time. The one I'm using now, stopped working with a almost brand new rx, so I swapped in an old crappy rx to get it working again, wouldnt work at all with the other rx.

At least I beat Lloyd. LOL

:wedgie:

DNF on both of my first races. Oval, I couldn't have run worse if I tried, I was on par for about a 90 lap finish. For the other, well, I'm dropping that series, it's just not my thing. I thought I'd like it, but I suck all over on that, and I spend more time in the grass than on the track.

The problem with them is the physical design. There is not enough support between the USB port and the pc board. The outside plastic housing doesn't get it done. Since there is little support the leads from the port break their soldered connection to the board. You have to look very closely to see connection is broken. They just require a quick touch with a soldering iron. This is why the wiggling seems to work. The small movements simply reconnect the leads temporarily. Product has been out for years,you'd think they'd have fixed it by now.

My adapter has been flawless, I plugged it in and haven't touched it again.

Piss on it!

I went ahead and ran again. When I know I can improve on the racer above me, I can't just let him have the position because I am lazy. Gotta make him work for it.

Now that's the racing spirit!

 

[Lessen]

Fixed.

Whoo Hooo! Josh got some runs in!


It's up to you now Rob-I ran my final 2 runs and got ya by a second. I don't know how,I couldn't drive to save my butt tonight.

 

[robmob]

I really only want to do the "one and done" for on-road, but since I had nothing to loose I went ahead and ran again.

Of course I got worse with every run. LMAO

Still in 2nd as I expected after booting my 2nd run. Not sure why I went for a 3rd.

It didn't help that I was doing practice runs on Oslo waiting for you to run this evening.

Gotta decide on my usual slow ass car or put in a faster one for Oslo. The perspective entering the back straight is a bitch for me for some reason. It does not look right to me and I have trouble getting around the turn. It is the only track I have the issue with.

 

[Lessen]

I like doing one and dones. I don't have any plans on any practicing. If I feel I can do better with an adjustment I may do a second run. My road setup had waay too much rotation. I have trouble driving a car like that. Not too shabby for my first time out in quite a while.

 

[robmob]

I only practice just before the run for about 15 minutes on the road courses. Need to find out how long I can go before refueling and make minor, if any setup changes. For the most part I don't change anything.

Ran a bit on Oslo last night because I was bored and it's by far my worse track.

I don't practice at all on Speedway.

Damn Randy had to come in and take the fast lap on the on road, I was tied with Rob for the fast lap at 19.824.

 

[Lessen]

I have a feeling I'll end up going back on my stance of no practice. Too competitive and I don't care too much to drive cars with bad setups. Makes for an aggravating race.

 

[Lessen]

Aight fellas. I'm the guinea pig for this week. The bar is set although I don't think it's terribly high.

 

[slowngreen]

Sweet, glad to see someone else willing to run the on roads and not just the powder puff.

 

[robmob]

Good to have you back Josh.

 

[Racer 1966]

I'm ok with one and done if that's what the rule is,but I'm gonna use the rules to my advantage any way I can. There ain't gonna be no stinking tie this time!

 

[Racer 1966]

The gauntlet has been thrown down at Oslo - come get me fellas!
