feeler... anyone interested in going to Busse this weekend?
 
Just kind of a feeler to see who might be up for a small GTG at Busse this weekend. I need practice and I am rebuilding my super this week so it needs tuned in. Post up if your interested and when would work best... right now Im leaning toward Saturday but not against Sunday.

Isn't SUNDAY supposed to be the build at LH?

Has anyone posted up details on that? Last I knew you and Brian were supposed to get with them and find out when they wanted us out there.

IF the LH thing does not come together....I can hit Busse on Sunday.

tkd630 07-22-2008 05:16 PM

i might be there this weekend with ghosty if he can make it

ghosty1 07-22-2008 08:34 PM

i can probably make it to either day

Ced RC 07-22-2008 10:02 PM

Saturday is better for me, but I'm real close to Busse, so if everybody else decides on a time I will try to adjust my schedule. My new Super needs some tuning too "thumbsup"

Ecuador Crawler 07-22-2008 10:59 PM

i can make it on sunday morning..

BJoe 07-22-2008 11:31 PM

Right now I'm still scheduled to have Saturday off, I'll try to make it to that one!

xirtic 07-23-2008 04:45 AM

Since the plan originally was to go to LH on Sunday to build the course...but that seems to be off.....I will hit Busse on Sunday. I already had "Requested the time off" with the wife. So she booked me up pretty good on Saturday. ALSO, the Tribune is showing rain Friday and Saturday....so Sunday looks like the better bet (77deg & Sunny). I am pretty flexible on time as the only thing I do early Sunday is grocery shop. I just want to try out the changes to the rig before the drive to WI. Droop may not be the right setup for me....but I want to try it. (Got it setup last night). Now just waiting on the better shoes to get here.

wojin 07-24-2008 02:29 AM

im up for sunday


xirtic, try a semi droop setup. spring on top and bottom. gets back some GC but keeps the CG lower. im loving mine with MiniT springs top and bottom. if we go sunday, ill let you give it a try.

BTW, are we allowed at Busse any time?

xirtic 07-24-2008 04:35 AM

There are really no issues at Busse at anytime for the crawlers. Just make sure to stay off the bike/walk paths other than the time to get to the crawl locations.

The new shoes arrived yesterday....man these vendors are doing some fast order turn around times. McMaster Carr had SAME DAY ship/delivery and Liquid RC got me my shoes in 3 days. I could not wait for ROD ENDS from eBay....so I hit the Schaumburg Hobbytown for them, and foams to cut up. Everybody had what I needed. IT is definitely a change of pace.

I have just over 2" of GC with the full droop...not looking too bad. I will try it this way, and if it needs to go SEMI...I will start to work that way. I just really like the lower stance, improved CG, and the fact that there are no visable springs.

jetboat 07-24-2008 07:08 AM

your CG will be lower but I would worry that at Busse you will be dragging belly all the time.

Right now Sunday moring is starting to look best for me to make it out to Busse. Im thinking about 10am @ the new comp location at this point.

wojin 07-25-2008 02:27 AM

sunday morning is definatly best for me, got somewhere to be at 4




with my semi droop(50/50) im at 2.5in GC

wojin 07-25-2008 04:41 PM

whats the word on sunday?

I can do that.....and early is GREAT as then the rest of the day is open. I think Jeff's idea of 10am is pretty good. I am down for that.

jetboat 07-25-2008 06:19 PM

still looking at 10am... crossing my fingers my super will be done. Only issue is that tires and rims wont be in till Monday (dang ups) so Im stuck with old short tires and narrow track.

Ced RC 07-25-2008 06:48 PM

I'm not sure about early Sunday morning but I'll try to make it, what size hex does your Super have Jeff? I have an extra set of Moab XL's mounted on Axial Narrow Beadlocks, 17mm Hex's, I can bring if I make it out.

jetboat 07-26-2008 06:47 AM

I need 14mm hex :( not a big deal, Ive actually been thinking the current setup might work better at Busse.
