Charlotte, NC= Bashers????

[Cajun]

Guys, I need help. I was planning on doing the electric conversion on my Revo.

Now I'm thinking of buying a 3905 emaxx and upgrading to a brushless. I really love my revo but I love the waterproof parts in the Emaxx.

I'm lost, I can't figure out what I want to get.

I am looking for a 50mph+ and 30+ minute runtime.

Help me guys...

I need help.

I've got my Jato sold. I bought my Stampede and hopefully I'll be picking up a Rustler this week.

Now I need to figure out whether to convert the Revo or buy an emaxx.

Thoughts?

Mark

Let me know I'll help you put one together. Here's mine.

If you can get a 10th scale monster truck over 50 mph you will be in the Guinness book of world records.

I think mid 40's is all you are going to be able to get with an E-Maxx or a Revo. It would probably be un-driveable much past 45 or so. :wacko:

[Max Maxx]

Im gonna make a lil practice run at CRC on Friday afternoon say 1 ish? Anyone want to join?

Steve

[Cajun]

I'd love to, but I'm out the rest of this week. I just have too much other stuff going on. I"ll be back in the mix next week sometime though.

Don't forget to let me know when you do the airstrip run...I wanna see your ballistic skate. :lol:

[katfish317]

I'll probably be there at Crc again. Hopefully I can get the rest of my wish list complete

[Interceptor]

I will try to get up there Friday early. I would like to work on my A buggy. Course it all depends on if I get my battery or not, and I still have to rebuilt the diff. I may go by there tonight to get parts and watch.

[Max Maxx]

Ill be re gearing to unleash the Novak power tonight and installing the specktrum receiver. The stock gearing is ok with the Novak but needs more bottom end...

See you guys Friday

Thanks

[Wrathchild]

I'll be there Friday after 4:30 or so for some practice.

[Cajun]

Thanks man! Glad to be here. Are you going to be able to make it to CRC on Friday?


Scott

I may come by then to pick up some parts I ordered, but I'm probably not going to run. I have GOT to get some new batts, but I can't justify spending the money on more nimh when I want to convert to lipo. The tax man is bringing my lipos....come w2s. :lol:

Word on the street is Orangecrush made a cool purchase today...ask him what it is. ;)

[NATERB30]

All This Electric Talk Lol.. I Need To Change My Budget Around Lol

All This Electric Talk Lol.. I Need To Change My Budget Around Lol

Oh not to worry, I have plaenty of Nitro in the building. In fact I just cleared with the wife if the weather doent suck I may be back out at the ol parking lot road course on Sunday, If my parts come in for the chainsaw on wheels. Jato is in 1000 pieces as of tonight. I took the specktrum out and put it in the K buggy(wow what a difference) so I need to buy a additional reciever (anyone got one they want to sell?) Im having to "re-engineer" the exahust pipe that kept coming off on Sunday so it will stay on as well as get some new tires for it.. So It looks like Friday night and Part of the day Saturday will be spent repairing and rebuilding , only to watch it rain on Sunday, but if not.. I will be running somewhere..

What you guys think?

Steve

[H_&_E_Racing]

So now it's 2 at CRC? Throw me a freakin' bone people... I'm the boss... I need the info..l :D That actually works out a lot better, I've got a 12 o'clock that I've got to keep. Dude, the K car looks like it's running like a champ... if I were you, I'd tighten the slipper up just a nother touch and call it good.

[H_&_E_Racing]

Nater...

I think you left your radio on the back of my truck on Sunday. Are you missing one?

[Max Maxx]

Holy Crap.." K Car" remember those back in the day? Aries K I belive they were.. Thanks Lee Iacocca.. First he comes up with a cool car like the Mustang then some crap like that... Hope I didnt offend anyone who still may have a k car.. I actually seen one the other day still running.. Kinda looked like the one on Planes Trains and Automobiles...:lol:

Later

Steve

[H_&_E_Racing]

I can only pray that someone makes a K car body for the 4-tec!! Oh My LORD!!! How funny would that be!!:lol:

[Cajun]

:lol: Man, that made me laugh out loud just getting the mental image of Candy & Martin in that car on the interstate going the wrong way. :lol:

[Interceptor]

Hey, those K Cars are what brought Chrysler out of the nose dive they were in in the 80s. That and they started turbo charging everything. I drove a Reliant K in drivers ed.

[Orangecrush]

Well since I had to get the approval of my RC brothers, I guess ya'll know for the most part.

Today I bought a Neu (not even sure which one) 18.5V motor, MGM controller, Impact conversion pads, BEC, (2) PolyQuest XP Lipo 5s 5000mah 25c, 989 charger, balancer, blah, blah, blah... about 1500-1600 worth to convert my Revo.

Hopefully I'll get to start tearing into my stuff soon.

Anyone want to buy a brand new stock VXL Stampede?

Thanks Cajun for your help and patience.

Mark

[Interceptor]

Might be interested in trading you for it.

[Cajun]

Thanks Cajun for your help and patience.

Mark


No problem, you're very welcome. I'll be happy to help with any part of the build you'd like. I can't wait to see it together and running, it's going to be SWEET!

[Orangecrush]

Opps, sorry mods, I didn't know the word I use was on the list... it never bleeped it out otherwise I would have changed it immediately.

Mark

[Max Maxx]

Hey, those K Cars are what brought Chrysler out of the nose dive they were in in the 80s. That and they started turbo charging everything. I drove a Reliant K in drivers ed.

Ya know I knew that would bring someone out of the woods who actually had or Drove one of those:D Yes you are right Im pretty sure that is what kept Chrysler in business, but they sure were ugly..

A turbo K car... ohh snap can you see a small block with a big Turbonetics 80mm turbo in a grocery getter like that.. that would be huge..

Anyway my k car is running ok. I thought there were going to be some problems with it. I just put it back to gether yesterday and put the Losi Tires on it for CRC surface and swapped out the radio and changed gears.. I took it in the cul de sac in the hood to test her out for a few minutes and it ran like a raped ape. Then something strange happened. The rear wheels were not pulling as hard as the fronts. what I mean is that if you picked the car up and give it some gas the front tires would quicky ballon and the rears wouldnt. You could even see the difference in speed with out balloning the fronts..partial throttle. So I took the rear end apart and found that the diff was screwed up. Scott came over and we looked at it and it looked like th elil bearings were kinda melted into the ring gear. So I called CRC to see if the had another and they did not answer the phone (left a message) so we decided to use the bolt that held the whole thing together and just clamped it down and completly locked the diff (Posi traction)..and OMG di that make a huge difference in acceleration and it seemed to trun just a s good as before..so I think im gonna leave it until Tomorrow when I practice and see how it does on the track.. If it breaks it is a real easy fix that can be done right there on the bench in 10 min.. at least thats how long it took me to take it out lock it and put it back together..

We will see tomorrow
Have a good day fellas

Steve

[Wrathchild]

I don't think you'll like the locked diff on the track, but it's worth a shot. You probably won't be able to turn under power, but then there is really only that one sweeping turn that you throttle through anyway, so it might just work.

The good news is that I was there on Tuesday getting some parts for mine and going through the baskets of K parts they got in. They have the diff balls in ceramic.. I was wondering why, now I know ;)

[Max Maxx]

yep stock parts+Novak power+my driving= carnage:lol:

[katfish317]

Anyone up too running tomorrow?? I might revive the rustler with the mamba since I now have a 8000mah lipo, I would be curious to see it run with it. Also I think that we need too start a support group for this habit, I am buying a 4wd buggy soon and 41 other items there!!!

[Max Maxx]

I will be there around 1 or 2.. to practice


Steve

With an 8000mah lipo.. you wont run it.. just bank it off the walls:lol:

[katfish317]

We will see I have not been able to charge this thing after all today, I thought I would but the balancer the I have will not work with it. Oh well I guess I can add that too the list of items. (43 now)

[Orangecrush]

Managed to buy this (http://monster.traxxas.com/showthread.php?p=3128052#post3128052) off a fellow member....

Now, I HAVE to sell the Stampede.... Guess I'll be down to the E Revo when it's done and the Rustler.

[Max Maxx]

Scott is going to poop when he sees this:cool: ^

Steve

[Max Maxx]

See you boys at CRC tomorrow

Steve

[Cajun]

You guys have fun and good luck this weekend. My wife comes home from China tomorrow so I'm going to stay around the house this weekend.

[slowasjato]

I'm new to this fourm, Were is CRC.

[Zannman]

Do they allow revo's?

[Cajun]

No, they're electric only, but they're not going to allow E-Maxx or E-Revos either. They're afraid it will tear up the track too bad.

[Zannman]

Last time they where open they allowed them, but the track was a little bigger, that suks im all nito...

[Interceptor]

Duuuude, we had a blast out there today. I spent 7 hours out there running. Got the A Car running pretty good. I just need practice and alittle fine tuning to finish it up. Deffenate improve though at the end of the day compared to when I first got there. Nice people at the track as well. Good running with you guys.

[slowasjato]

Were do you guys go to bash? I'm on the west side of charlotte. I Have a joto 3.3 and S maxx. New to the RC Thing

[Orangecrush]

Anyone have any caster blocks for a Stampede? I ordered a bunch of crap for my Stampede and apparently I didn't order the one broken part I needed.... the caster block.

Argghhhhh, hopefully Hobby town carries them. Tower Hobbies already backordered my front RPM control arms.

[Wrathchild]

For those of you using the Spektrum radios, how did you mount your antenna? Most of the ones I've seen have a little stub of antenna or nothing at all, but the manual says to use 8.5". It also says you can cut it to exactly 3.6" "with negligible loss of range" - is that what most are doing? Did you run the full length up a tube or wrap some of it?

I wrapped my radio up today and it's ready to be shipped back to Spektrum. My range is around 50 yards and when I called and spoke to their tech department yesterday, they said it should be further than my line of sight.

I assure you it's not.

So it's wrapped up back in it's box ready to be shipped.

I was talking to Lee and he said he doesn't even use an antenna tube, he's got it under the controls on the chassis. (I believe that's what he meant) I just assumed that the range was shorter since it was meant more for racing and you don't need a whole lot of range.

According to Spektrum, that's not right.

[Wrathchild]

Hmm did you cut your antenna or is the range that short using the whole thing? They should easily work beyond the range of a 27 or 75mhz, and they are good up to 100 yards under ideal conditions.

[Ruthless Racer]

There a tons of places to bash in and around charlotte. If you are looking for people to bash with just post when and where chances are a few will show up.

Like Mark said, I keep mine completely under the body on all 3 trucks. I use a stubby little piece of antenna tube, maybe 3 inches, run the wire up through the tube then cap it. Then I wrap the remaining wire around the tube and shrink wrap it down. If I need to, I'll use a heat gun and bend it slightly to fit under the body. It's worked great for me so far. You can see what I mean on my E-Revo.

Also I have some aluminum caster blocks if you want them, I will try to get them out too you if possible this week.

Steve, sorry too hear about the car good luck!

[Orangecrush]

Good God Mark, you have had a rought time with that Radio.

That would be so my luck... I had a 50/50 chance...lol.


You going to CRC today? I'd like to get up with Katfish today and buy his aluminum parts I need. Hopefully he'll log back on and get my phone number.

Well good news the wife has to go to work tomorrow and the grand parents have the kid all day at their request, I guess that means one thing for me CRC!! I will check back here tomorrow and see if everyone is going out to bash.
Mark, if you go tomorrow let me know and I will swing by and drop off those aluminum caster blocks you wanted.
I will probably be up all night putting together my new 4wd buggy for racing next week and hopefully I can take it tomorrow to run also.

[NATERB30]

hey guys long time no type.. well heres a list of items i have ordered to replace the broken pieces. front bulk head,front body mount, front skid plate,one long hinge,the metal plate on the front of the bulk head,the bottom bulkhead brace,1 tie rod end an ball,spur gear,clutch spring,front diff case(both halves busted), i think that sums it about up. i will have to purchase some diff oil for the new case. hopefully nothing is broke in there it doesnt feel like it. what weight is stock for the front? i might be back up an running by next weekend i hope. we shall see.

[Orangecrush]

Anyone of our local group here got a Revo roller for sale?

Got a few ideas, want to try some stuff....

[RC Shocker]

Dont tempt me like that Mark?

I just put the motor back in Friday night. I have been kicking the idea of getting rid of it to a few members here at Traxxas. It's a 2.5R w/ traxxas red tb's & pushrods, steering mod, etc plus ton's of extra's. Darn if I dont have a brand new 3.3 chassis sitting here for it too.

I have been pretty much undecided on what to do with it for about 4 months now.

Well, watcha waiting for??? Help me out. :p

Gonna sell the VXL Stampede I just bought a couple of weeks ago. I won't need it once I get the Revo done and get the Rustler in.

I just don't want to tear up my perfectly good 3.3 for a conversion.

Let me know...

Mark

[Max Maxx]

Ok Fellas..

Im thinking another road race event/get -together at the SPCC parking lot to conquer the cones again.

Sunday 11am- whenever we get tired or broke
I will bring the big 12x12 tent again and a table for setting up cars if needed.

Last time we had a ball doing this and the more folks we can get the merrier.
Dont think just because you dont have a off road car you cant race. Most of us were running Jato's etc.

This time for the Sprit of Competition I think we are going to bring a
"real stopwatch" for timing purposes have some qualifiying and a "main event"

Im thinking a 5 lap qualifer for each car to determine starting position in the 15 lap main. If we have enough cars and there is quite a bit of difference in them we can break them up into classes based off of what we have. Right now IM thinking we have enough for the road cars to have a class and the 2 wheel drive truck / buggy class. Again dont be scared to run your off road vehicle.. I put some road hawg tires on my K car last time and had the fastest lap that we clocked..

Let me know your interest level and lets get this going. I already know myself and Scott will be in attendance

Post up and let us know

Thanks
Steve

[H_&_E_Racing]

That's right gentlemen... This is the first H&E Motorsports sponsored event.

Post up and let us know. Hope to have a good size turnout.
Thanks

[Orangecrush]

Steve,

You need a set of Tein springs or something....

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c310/heatherty3/img084.jpg

Need to drop the gap a bit over the tires...lol.

Mark

[Max Maxx]

Actually with all of the mustangs I used to mess with you would think I would just call Saleen and ask if they have any 1/10th scale lowering springs:o

I can actually drop the body more with the body mounts but I figured that running in the lot on Sunday could get some pretty serious suspension travel especially when I pull that inside move on you in the hairpin at the end of the straight:p just jokin..

Ok so it looks like we have a 4 car field thus far..anymore takers?

let me know

Steve

[Orangecrush]

Nathan shipped out my new Rustler yesterday. Hopefully it will get here by Friday. I've got to order some batteries for it but at least I can use the 4200's I have for now.

That's all, nothing else, just that.

I'm not worried about the money, it was cheap to start and very cheap monthly. We're going to need it soon anyway for business, and Start Logic was having a good "sale" when I checked today, so I talked it over with the wifey and presto, QCB is on the web. I have to wait until I get the confirmation e-mail from Start Logic (might be tomorrow with business hours, not sure) to actually add any content, but hopefully by the end of this coming weekend I'll have the basics put together and we'll have a website for the bashers and the racers. :D We can discuss it further after the HEM board convenes. ;)

[Orangecrush]

I was wondering if you still really wanted it Mark. I have one other guy interested and he is waiting on pics later tonight.

Of course, a Queen City Basher like yourself :p will have dibs.

I'll put everything together and get you some pics, or better yet, might be able to bring it by on Sunday to yall's little get together.


Doug,

If you're going to send them, I'd seriously like to see what you've got. I'm about to pull a "buy it now" on ebay.

Let me know...

[icepick832]

well, I mat officially be going electric on my jato. I just looked up a mamba max brushless set-up on ebay, with a 7700 motor for 180 (plus shipping). So , as soon as I make the final descision, and get all the nitro stuff off, Cajun, I will be bringing it over your place to do some dry fitting with your spare parts, if its ok.

See ya then..

Steve

[Orangecrush]

I'm definitely in. Got my stuff today from nathan. Though I don't have the lipos I ordered, I got enough to run Sunday. (of course, by then I may need 4WD tires.)

;)

[macr0w]

I'm in... just let me know. But man, I hate the "queen city bashers" name... lol, it's sounds sooooo "happy" if ya know what I mean.
You are so obviously not from around here. :wacko:

[katfish317]

Im guessing its electric..??Max Maxx

Yeah!! 4wd,3.5R motor I gotta put it together tonight. I could not resist the temptational demons on my shoulders!!!!:lol:
I shoulda got that 4tec, sorry!
How much room do we have at this place?? and how bumpy is it??
It is terrible CRC is closed down till saturday for racing, I guess I will have to find another fix somewhere
I 'll take a shirt(XL)and some stickers for the E-weapon!!!

Awesome!! Our team is growing by leaps and bounds!! The course at SPCC is right on. It's in an asphault parking lot, so there are some very small bumps, but nothing that will cause you to bottom out. It's actually pretty smooth. The entire parking lot is apx. 3 to 4 acres? It's huge! Where we set up the track is the smoothest part and it's nice and wide open. No chance of hitting a curb or anything if you stay somewhat close to where you're supposed to be. However, adventurist such as Nate, bring light columns into play. :D

[Orangecrush]

I shoulda got that 4tec, sorry!


Got one for sale!!!!


hehe, sorry Scott... me funny guy.


Scott, I'll call ya in a bit if that's okay.


Mark


EDIT: Okay, that didn't work... got your voicemail.


I'll call ya tomorrow.

[katfish317]

Sweet, I cannot wait til sunday, well saturday too race but sunday will be just as fun, bringing out the CF E-weapon!!! It's low and fast, i cannot wait too see Steve's ride up close. Gotta get building, then decide what I am going to airbrush this thing with!

That car is a beast!!! Traction is non-extistant!! When it does somewhat hook up, it's scary! I'm thinking the E-weapon may have something for it though, eh?

[RC Shocker]

Please guys, this thread will get shut down quickly if you continue to discuss "non-Traxxas" items. We really have a good thing going here with this thread and I'd hate to see something happen to it. In addition to warning points being dole'd out by Traxxas moderators.

You definately can not & should not discuss selling t-shirts on this site.

Please edit what you can, while you still can. You have 1hr from the time you posted.

PS the shirts look very good

[RC Shocker]

You guys be careful, don't get our thread locked talking about the non-Traxxas stuff. :unsure:


This was yesterday. :rolleyes:

[H_&_E_Racing]

seriously!! All I heard was one big THUD! I have never seen a car that destroyed.

Scott

[Wrathchild]

The website looks great! Glad to see it online - we should all chip in what we can to repay for the setup costs. A little here and there will add up quick with all the people we have.

I have some other things to say but I'll save that for my first post over there!

[Max Maxx]

Snowing here gents..10:47pm will it last or will it be an icy mess? Dont think the Jato would go to good in that stuff

Steve

[H_&_E_Racing]

Does anyone know where I can get some snow tires for the 4-tec? Hey... maybe some chains?:rolleyes:

[RC Shocker]

Thanks for the update Max Maxx. I had to look AND there is snow coming down in Ballantyne too.

If it goes all night, look out !!! It started sooner than I thought it would.

[H_&_E_Racing]

I vote Max Maxx for our designated chief meteorologist!!:wub:

[Wrathchild]

Makes me wish I had pulled the trigger on the new E-Maxx.. waterproof and all :) Stumblin runs his in the snow a bit and he said that the Talons mounted backwards work really well. Just be sure you wrap up your electronics!

[Interceptor]

Uhhh... were is our video??? ;-) figured someone needed to keep poking on that. Site looks great. Put me down for a large shirt as well.

Looks like next time I get to run will be next Weds at the CRC race. Hope to see some of you there.

[Max Maxx]

Guess what.... It snowed.. Roads are not bad at all been out since 4:30 this am..And that is your Traxxas up to date weather report. Stay tuned until 12pm for another update!!!


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[He123321]

Well, I did some cleaning, and editing with out handing anyone points. Please follow the house rules, or I will delete the whole thread the next time it gets out of hand.

[tonywhittier43]

I just got two t-maxx's and i live in China Grove,NC and i was wondering where there was a good place to run these things around here...i'm also looking for tracks that are open

[RC Shocker]

Hey Tony, I'll get some information to you.

[tonywhittier43]

Hey Tony, I'll get some information to you.

thanks man...cant wait to meet some people around here...

No problem at all.

As you can tell, we are a pretty lively bunch. And that's probably just a little bit of an understatement. :p

Look forward to meeting & bashing with you sometime soon.

[Ruthless Racer]

Track looks great! I'll try to make it.

[Cajun]

Good times yesterday! I'm hoping to have my indoor racer ready for next weekend. :D

[ridesdirt]

Nice job OarngeCrush!

I assume electric only.

Do we stand on the inside of the turn or can you get on top of the paint booth?




Lets do one at Pro-Dyno too..... lol

[Orangecrush]

LOL, yeah, we were standing on top of one of the paintbooths until someone fell off and got ran over by a Revo. It was really ugly....lol.

As far as electric....no. We had both Nitro and electric. If you turn on both wall fans, it would get rid of the exhaust good enough but it would take the heat with it.

So next time, it'll have to be electric only... at leat until the weather breaks and we can open up the doors.

Mark

[Cajun]

I'm going to have at least my Rustler ready next time you run at the shop. That looked like a lot of fun.

[Cajun]

Thought I'd use our home grown thread to post my....

1000th POST!

WOOT! RC Champion Baby!

[ridesdirt]

Crush,

I could have hooked you up with the pipe. Thats what I sell to support my r/c habit. lol

[mighty_max]

i have a t-max and did the 3.3 in it and a pipe and suck at the tuneing part. whos the best person to take it to? to make it run good and tune it good money is not a big deal just wont the thing to run..

thomas.l

[Orangecrush]

Bring it by next time we get together. Anyone of us would be more than happy to set it up for you.

I do suggest however that you read up on some tuning. In fact, on Youtube there is a few tuning videos that will help.

I suggest this only because it's simple to do and you'll need to do it again and again and again....

HTH's,

Mark

[mighty_max]

when the next time yall get to gather?

Looks like Feb 3rd.. not confirmed yet.

That's Super Bowl Sunday..........

or Super bash Sunday I guess.

[dirtoval]

Hey all. I'm not in your group or in your but I look at this thread from time to time wishing I could get a group like this going in my area. The reason for this post is I was wondering what happened to "Tinkerbell" (I think that was her I.D.). I saw she was having surgery and she's certainly been in mine and my families prayers. Is everything ok with her and her family?

[icepick832]

Hey all. I'm not in your group or in your but I look at this thread from time to time wishing I could get a group like this going in my area. The reason for this post is I was wondering what happened to "Tinkerbell" (I think that was her I.D.). I saw she was having surgery and she's certainly been in mine and my families prayers. Is everything ok with her and her family?
I can speak on her behalf. The surgery went great, but needs to be done again as a precaution. It is not a big deal to say it I guess. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The first surgery was to remove the half of the thyroid in question, only way to know if it is an actual cancer and not just a cyst, was to remove. After the biopsy was done to the sample, and further tests, the doctor decided it would be best to just completely remove the thyroid to be on the safer side. With medication, having your thyroid removed is no problem. With how hectic things have been lately, neither one of us have had much time for running our trucks/cars , let alone the boards. The both of us thank you for your thoughts, as well as anyone else that has wished us luck during this time. No pity please!!!! The doctor even put it this way to us "If someone sat you down and said, "you have to have 1 cancer in your lifetime, which do you choose?", you want to choose thyroid, as its one that is very easily removable, (not curable) and will just need to take pills afterwards and in some cases, wont even need that.

[Max Maxx]

We are running at Marks place on Sunday at 11am Feb 3rd. Will be practicing,qualifying, then racing.. Should be fun.

Looks like we are going to have 3 classes

Trucks-2wd/4wd
10th TC
12th and Minis

You won't let this thread die, will you?


:p

[macr0w]

This is as far down the list as I can remember seeing the Charlotte thread.

Kind of sad to see it die. :(

[Cajun]

We'll keep it alive just for you Macrow. ;)

The H&E boys will keep it going for sure with their race schedules. We all still check it I'm sure, just can't talk about anything but Traxxas and some of the guys don't have any....so, they can't really talk much. Anyway, I'm sure it won't die off completely, and I link to it on our frontpage, paying tribute to the thread that started it all.

[RC Shocker]

Wow, we were 14 threads down from the top.

I'm sure we will still use this thread every now & again. And it will be great for new blood.

But we knew this thread would slow down once we got our own site up & running. And running well I may add.

[Wrathchild]

It's going to be nice this weekend, who is up for some ole fashioned outdoor bashing :)

[Orangecrush]

It's going to be nice this weekend, who is up for some ole fashioned outdoor bashing :)

I got the Revo done, I wouldn't mind some ol fashioned run 'em in the dirt, up a hill and over a jump bashing....

Lemme know what you had in mind... I thought it was suppose to rain this weekend?

Mark

[RC Shocker]

Well no rain just yet, but I have NOT heard anything about bashing today (Sunday) either. I wish I would have went out to Cajun's yesterday but family stuff took priority.

What about tomorrow? President's Day.

Anybody got the day off from work?

[Orangecrush]

I can't bash...I broke a drive pin in the trans. I replaced it.

I broke frt body mounts. I replaced it.

I tore up a spur gear. I replaced it.

I lost a lugnut. I replaced it.

And now it flipped and broke the steering servo mount.

Arrghhhhh.

This is all just today.

I spent almost 300 bucks this weekend on repairs. (not including tearing up a brand new set of big joe 40's)

Too much power, too crazy driving.

Mark

[Cajun]

Racing this weekend at Monroe International Speedway...be there or be square. :D

[RC Shocker]

[] I guess I was Square []

I ended up NOT being able to make it out today.

I heard that even the Hot Dogs were flying !!!!

[Cajun]

[] I guess I was Square []

I ended up NOT being able to make it out today.

I heard that even the Hot Dogs were flying !!!!

Everything was flying. The new surface is so grippy, when you get hit you ROLL, repeatedly....:wacko:

No more sliding around and times dropped by 2 seconds a lap from the old surface.

[icepick832]

I noticed the flipping in the video. Im sure after some time and running on it, it will "loosen" a bit and speeds will pick back up.

[RC Shocker]

Where's the video at ?

[Cajun]

I noticed the flipping in the video. Im sure after some time and running on it, it will "loosen" a bit and speeds will pick back up.

Speed is WAY up, lap times 2 seconds faster than the original surface! We were running 30ish (3) lap qualifiers to begin with on the original surface, I heard a couple of 25s last week and one 23 I believe.

The only way it will loosen up is if we scrub that much rubber into it. The surface has to be sandblasted to cut it off concrete once it's down and cured. It's pro grade garage floor epoxy put down by one of the club members that does concrete floors for a living. It's a really thick base coat with 150lbs of sand rolled into it, then a top coat to seal it. It's not going anywhere, trust me. It's heck on your body when you roll, I know that. :mellow:

[icepick832]

My bad, I thought you meant 2 seconds down as in a bad thing. like gaining 2 seconds on a lap leader, means less time to go round the track.

[RC Shocker]

It's a really thick base coat with 150lbs of sand rolled into it, then a top coat to seal it. It's not going anywhere, trust me. It's heck on your body when you roll, I know that. :mellow:

[Cajun]

More on-road monster truck racing this weekend at Rocky River School. Come on out and run what ya brung!

[Wrathchild]

the Stampede is coming out, should be interesting.. right now it sounds like I'm the only electric entering.

Also for anyone getting a Slash or considering it, looks like we're going to have a good sized group of Slash owners doing spec class races - both at a local race track and our less formal bash/race get togethers.

Will see you at Rocky River in a few hours Cajun :)

[icepick832]

Going out for another bash this Saturday the 14'th. Regulars know all the details already. Any new comers( in the area of course) that want to join in, P.M me or any other persons name in the thread for details. Gonna even have a couple slashes out (I know I am bringing mine.).

I haven't checked-in in a while. I'm glad to see it.

I haven't messed with my E-Maxx much lately.

Till now. :D

[icepick832]

uh oh. Macrow?? What did you do!!??:unsure:

[macr0w]

I've smoked a MM and 2 MMM's in my 1/8th scale buggy and my LRP sphere in my 10th scale buggy has the drag brake stuck and I sent it back for repair.

So the E-Maxx is all I got running right now. :D

Which is fine for now. I've been working on it a bit.

I wish I would have known you were selling your 8T. I may have bought it. I'm looking at building one but I think I'm going for a MBX-5T. :D

I just ordered a Neu 1515/1.5/D/F with no where to put it right now.

[macr0w]

I pm'ed shocker about those shocks but haven't gotten a reply yet. :unsure:

[Cajun]

Another weekend of Slash racing has come and gone....anyone new out there from Charlotte that hasn't heard of the Queen City Bashers yet?

[Cajun]

Well QCBers, it's time to start planning our 2nd Annual Fall BBQ and Bash. Affectionately know as the AQCBBBQB2.

Here's the low down, it's gonna be at my place in Monroe on October 18th with a rain date of October 25th. If necessary we make the rain date decision by noon Friday October 17th. We'll start about 2pm and go till dark or until we get tired or break all our toys. I'm doing extensive renovations and additions to my track, some of you will remember it from last year, and I'm hoping to have the time to set up a drag strip this year for sand drags. There will also be a high/long jump set up for those of you who aren't scared to air your RCs out. We'll do the food the same way as last year and make it basically a "everyone bring one dish" sort of party. I'll start a sign up for food in a separate thread soon so we don't double up too bad. As with last year, families are definitely welcome, but please be responsible parents if you bring your kids. My place is far from kid proof so watch your bambinos closely, we'll all help keep them out of trouble, but a watchful parent is a good parent.

Please RSVP with a PM to me so we can plan the food and things appropriately. Also, be aware that I'll have limited restroom facilities and the girls will be the only ones allowed to use the indoor facilities. I have plenty of trees for you boys. I'll PM all RSVPs with the directions. Hope to see you there!

Thanks for all the good times with QCB, but I regretfully have to leave. I guess traxxas is my new home for now.

No you dont Bill. No need to post something like that.

Of course I am disappointed. But hey, were ALL grown men. The facts are what they are. And the solution is obviously alluding many.

There are PLENTY more good times to be had. And I cant imagine you staying away forever. I look forward to the next time we will be bashing together Bill.

Crawling too I hope. Only time will tell.

That's fine Bill, however you want it to go, the offer is out there if you change your mind.

By the way, your PM inbox is full. Cya.....

Any of you guys care to take a road trip this weekend?

http://monster.traxxas.com/showthread.php?t=434132

Just under 4 hours from Charlotte, hour and a half-ish from Lumberton.

Gonna run electrics, y'all come!

[Cajun]

I'd love too, but can't this weekend. Keep us in the loop, I'm sure you'll get some QCBers up there sometime.

[icepick832]

Are you talking about the October race or is there something else going on? I couldn't find anything on their website, but I did hear a rumor it was changing hands on CRC.

[icepick832]

Hand changing, so possibly open for more than just die hard racers, and events. Still havent elaborated on what it will be open for.

That could be cool. It seems kind of hush hush though, I saw it only mentioned in a couple of places. I'm not very interested in racing, but it could be fun to go play around on the track like we do at some of the other venues in town.

[RC Shocker]

Hey Bill, have you heard any updates since the Worlds are over ????

[icepick832]

Only thing I have heard from miller, is that no electrics (I think thats what I heard). I havent been over on their forums, so cant say exactly what they will/wont allow.

[RC Shocker]

Wow, I thought it would be more in favor of electric's with Jon running things. Hmmm, thats odd???

[RC Shocker]

Found this: 8 pages of whining............

The Queen City Bashers Fall Bash is back on....if you're interested, shoot me a PM. It'll be at my digs in Monroe, 10am till dark, October 25th.

[Cajun]

Well shoot, the weather guessers are calling for rain on Saturday. Since I had to move the party to our rain date anyway, what would you guys like to do if it rains? Should we move it to the next weekend? Blow the BBQ off for this year? We will make a final decision on Thursday or Friday....I'll post up what's up.

[Cajun]

Good news, looks like Saturday is a go. The rain is suppose to stop early morning. We'll go back to the original schedule, 10am to dark (or whenever everything is beaten beyond repair), Saturday the 25th.

[Cajun]

The 2nd annual BBQ & Bash was a big success. The rain held off and we got to run by mid day. I'll post up some pics here pretty soon.

[Cajun]

Promised pics!

[Orangecrush]

Not sure who took that pic but the action shot of my e-revo looks great. Very nice camera.

Tim's slash's pic looks fake.... almost looks like it's hanging by a hidden string.

Bundy's truck looks awesome....

Great photography.

Mark

[Cajun]

Silas took all the shots. Glad you could make it Mark.

Thanks man, it was great.

BTW, you know you really can't use a leaf as a parachute, right?

:D

[Cajun]

Yeah, ya know you're right, just ask Topher. :D

[RC Shocker]

Parachute ?????

I thought that was flames coming out the back of that Rustler.

ALL the pics look GREAT !!!!

[Super Z]

Can somebody get some pics of Clinton R/C raceway next time you go? Thanks.

[icepick832]

Thats 174 miles away from Charlotte. Pretty much everyone posting in this thread is in or around Charlotte. I have yet to know of any of us (the regulars in the thread) going out there.

[Super Z]

Oh duh.Sorry guys. It's only about 60 from here in the Raleigh but I thought it would be closer to ya'll. Guess not. Thanks.

[icepick832]

Thats cool Super Z. We do have The Farm2, and a couple others.

[turk.919]

anybody from raleigh? i know 6+ people who race trucks that would love to hang out with other people.

[Cajun]

We have a bunch of buddies that crawl up that way, shot me a PM and I can hook you up with them. I'm sure some of them have faster movers as well.

[RC Shocker]

Still kickin in Charlotte !!!!


Shoot me, Cajun, or icepick a PM for the next BASH !!!!!

[RC Shocker]

Any new guys bashing, racing, or crawling in the Charlotte area

[icepick832]

Just letting any potential new comers know, we are still here!!! Add another vehicle that hasnt been talk about in this thread. We now have a summit in the mix too. :D So any new comers can shoot us a pm, or post up to get together for a bash. This snow (well the cold really, cuz snow bashing is F-U-N) has slowed us, but we are itching to go.

[Super Z]

Did I already say I'm in Raleigh? Good to know I'm not the only Traxxas truck owner here in this area...lol.

[icepick832]

Just tossing this out there. We are trying to get a bash session in this Sunday 5/31/09. feel free to pm me for any more details.

[emaxxman2]

I'm from around there I live in Camden county

[emaxxman2]

which is about 3 hours from raleigh.

[mustang2.3t]

Bring a thread back from the dead I guess I'm in Rock Hill getting ready to move to Mooresville.

[rustler09]

i plan to move into charlotte here in the next few months, anyone still bashing in the area?

[rustler09]

anybody!!!!!

[RC Shocker]

Yes, yes, yes................we are STILL HERE !!!!!

As with most things, time has brought about a few changes. A handful of the "OG's" are still at it. Kinda reviving the scene here if you will.

We are anticipating this spring to be a bit more active on the bash scene here in Charlotte and the surrounding area. Thats the plan at least. I know there are a few getting their BL E-Maxx & Revo MT's ready, VXL Stampedes & Rustlers too.

Please shoot me a PM if you are interested in getting more info & a link to the Charlotte QCB site.

[srx507]

wanna buy a vxl rustler, stampede or slash, what one would be best and why? help me decide. thanks

[Ruthless Racer]

WOW, was looking back through this. Brings back alot of memories! Hope all the "OG" QCB guys are still hanging tough.

[MedicMaxx]

I'm over in Stanly County. Used to do some bashing in Landis at High Speed, but was there recently and that field is flat now...no jumps left.. Running an E-maxx and my soon to be 10 year old is getting a Monster Jam truck for Christmas. And since his birthday is 4 days after Christmas he's getting a set of ramps then...Anybody running anywhere else?

[macr0w]

Any of you guys still around? :)

[MedicMaxx]

I'm here in Stanly County. I run an EMAXX and my son runs a Monster Mutt
