We used to have a course in Oshkosh but...... well it's not there any more.

[corporatelemon]

Really what happened

[Super]

Well we had built a bunch of tables (4x4') with chicken wire, burlap and concrete. Made them so we could interchange them and make dif courses. Oshkosh Hobby Town Was going to buy the materials and the club did all the work.
We held comps there every other weekend in the winter. We paid $7 a class to run, the club got $2. Attendance fell off after about 2 years and of course there wasn't ever anyone there in the summer. He wasn't making enough money so he got rid of the tables (I think).
40 miles away from my house so it was a trip. I don't have any reason to go out there so I'm not sure what happened to it. The shitty part about it is he didn't say anything to the club about getting rid of it. 'Dawg saw a post on RC Tech of him trying to sell/give it away.

There it is in a nut shell......

[corporatelemon]

Shity deal

[corporatelemon]

Well we just wait out winter and the first weekend its nice we play

With all this sub zero weather I've really been enjoying the remote start option on my daily driver....it's nice to hop into a preheated vehichle. Then the battery died, and I had to stick my key into her like some kind of animal . It just felt dirty

Here's to warmer days and rocks without end!

[Super]

Amen

To place an order at team brood or not to place??? If I do im leaning towards a machine wound intensity motor in 19t for a lcc based build? Any input would be great. Everything I have read says 19t on 2s with 12t pinion is going to be sexy

[Super]

Go with what you read, or ask EddyO at Brood, he would know.

I ran an 18.5 novak in my lcc when I had it on 3s the wheel speed was good and the tranny held it quite well, not sure if putting a brushed motor in I a lcc tranny is that good its not fun pulling the motor for any routine maintenance but that's my opinion, send me a pm I think I still have a new worm and spool.

Did you have any problems over heating? I heard people having those issues. If brushless works that would be the way to go.

[corporatelemon]

Yea I just placed the order soo ill try it then if I dont like it ill switch to brushless

[corporatelemon]

The sweet thing about running MMP is being able to switch it up

[TrailDawg362]

It looks like the Trinity Speedgems 35T motors jumped up in price (A-Main Hobbies), might have to give those Team Brood Intensities a go next time around. They're both machine wound and look to be about the same quality.

[corporatelemon]

Ill let ya know how the intensity is

[corporatelemon]

Any of you guys have a TF2 any pro's or con's

[TrailDawg362]

In peices, but yes.

Pros: 2 speed, T-case, very scale

Cons: weak diff gears, 1.55 tires limit clearance, leafsprings limit flex

There's a few pics of mine (the yellow rig) in my profile albums.
