Michigan Roll Call

[rcracer]

Yeah, well I lost that auction, but I ended up winning a Kyosho GS21. Hopefully that will end up working.

hope you got the one with the blue heatsink, the orange one was a big pain to keep it tuned.

 

[Crawlerguy851]

Aww crap.

 

[Crawlerguy851]

Well, it was only 30 bucks, hopefully I can get a new carb, or whatever is wrong with it.

 

[Bam Bam]

Hope fully you get it run to bring to a comp and tear the race way up:twisted: .

 

[rcracer]

I'll bring my crazy mad force with the xtm 247 in it. it's damn fast with that 3 speed

I can't remember what was wrong but mine and another guys motor were impossible to keep running. I think it was the carb seals

air leaks are your #1 tuning enemy in nitro. Seal that engine up especially around the carb.

 

[Crawlerguy851]

Well, I'll bring the buggy to the next comp and see if I have any problems. It hasn't even come yet.

Are upgraded carb seals readily available? Also, does anyone have any unwanted nitro accessories cluttering up their work space?

 

[rock runt]

carb seals are usually o-rings just make sure they are resistant to fuel

 

[Crawlerguy851]

Anyone know of any tracks that race 1/8 buggy?

 

[rock runt]

checkout www.rcracingextreme.com the forum has the hook up on local racing. Indoor nitro is hard to come by these days.

 

[Crawlerguy851]

Anyone know when the next GTG or Comp will be?

 

[brownvhf]

They race nitro indoor every weekend outside of Chicago. Very aromic from what I've been told. Jerry"thumbsup"

rock, like the chassis, did you mainly shorten the height and cut out a bigger spot for the tranny?

Gopher, thanks! I can post a few pics tonight. I did open a small hole on the chassis for the spur gear, and shorten it up a bit. Other than chopping the bottom, this is the only chassis mod I made.
After I was done the chassis is 2 1/2 in wide

Another view

 

[rcracer]

[Crawlerguy851]

I don't think there's anything going on, but we could plan something.

Hi guys. Just found this thread and figured I would say hi. A buddy and I just started building a couple 2.2 rigs. We live in Mt.Pleasant(center of the state). Got a good start on them, should have them rollin by sometime next week. I'll keep my eye on this and try to come down for a get together so we can learn some stuff.
Thanks,
Cade
