Feeling Blue Too!!

[JK Racing]

I will be testing both buggies today on a rough slippery outdoor track today.

Bent, only the top is nice and clean looking, bottom is already scratched up pretty good. Powder coating scratches up too

I will update my 2 cars threads and the setup thread as needed tonight/tomorrow!!

Yeah i know, Mine has a few. What runner doesn't have a few scratches right? It will chip away too. Still a nice car none the less.


The front has been trued up

[JK Racing]

is your painted/powder coated/anodized?

[Bent]

I sure it is powered it looks like there is some fading around some of the holes.

ran the car today, front tower made a world of difference. it actually turns now. i didnt get enough track time to do any tuning, short course truck = 1, rc10 = 0 busted a rear LXT carrier, and I didnt take any of those with me.

[Bent]

Jk Sorry man, Hows progress on your car going? Get it right? Any action shots?

[Harrylarry]

The question I have is is the ce or the woin better? Which one is the stuff? Is everyone just happy to be running the b4 wheels? I keep reading an wondering if it worth building one? Or just another ce?

[JK Racing]

the WOIN car is coming around, the change to the RPM style front tower worked wonders on the cars handling. the CE is still very easy to drive and its hard to pull away from it to work on the WOIN car. tonight I refreshed all the truck shocks, took the stock AE steering parts off and put in BB RPM steering. also found that I was using 1.5 (standard) rear mounts and zero degree LXT rear carriers, so running 1/2 the rear toe of other cars. i put on some 3 degree rear T2 mounts, quick test out front of the house feels reallllllly good. cant wait to hit the track and put some serious testing/tuning on this car.

I did get to test the car a bit the last time at the track, but a short course truck decided my car worked well as a back stop after the main straight and busted a rear carrier. the 10 or so laps i did get with the car it felt pretty good.

jury is still out, the car is very well put together (age has its advantages finally), running a non-boosted 10.5 geared 23/78, stock stealth, very quick, not too much top end down the straight that i need to use the brakes to slow down, just enough to coast into the sweeper and start getting back on the gas , the boosted 17.5 in my CE i would have to tap the brakes a couple times, the top end is crazy (geared almost exactly the same).

i am planning another CE based build next, runner of course, no shelfers allowed in my garage just need to justify (in my mind) why i need yet another 2wd buggy for racing (CE, WOIN, JRX2, B4, TLR22), I can only run 2 classes, stock and mod.

I will try to get a shot up after the refresher tonight, i need to get it off my phone and onto the 'puter.

on my dirty workbench

Ummm for dirt oval of course

[JK Racing]

trust my, i started RC in dirt oval, it is a passion of mine. just no tracks within a few hours drive, but about a dozen offroad tracks in under an hour.

i know...dont complain, i have that many tracks

[Bent]

I was gonna say be happy we only have 1 track within an hr's drive of me and we only get 1 day on the oval. Sucks that oval died out.

[Harrylarry]

So the ce setup is better than the woin? Or still trying to perfect the woin?

[JK Racing]

still working the WOIN, I havent put much effort into it, I dont get much track time

[soniccj5]

Still in the middle of my re-bduil of the WOIN. I also switched the front shock tower from a RC10T to an RPM World tower, and now after hearing how much different it made the car handle I can not wait to get mine back out there.
