new graphite racer build to sprint DO

[markt311]

looking good, you gotta watch out for me too James! I ran a borrowed stock brushed motor (thanks Brandon) on Friday and it was plenty fast. Those B4's carry a lot more corner speed through the sweepers though. I need to do some minor suspension tuning on mine to get more on power steering. I almost think a rear sway bar would help at our track.

91 roar stock and 2010 roar stock

i have every thing to run the team car

i dont have every thing for the brushless yet

[Brandon G]

James, I have your 17.5 BL motor. Possibly see you Saturday...

The team car looks good!

I see your green springs came in finally.

[jsrracing]

ready to race

this is what i came up with after the 1.32 shocks . the 1.32 are to long and would not let the chassis bottom .
so i went with the shorter 1.08. perfect

o well no rear gold shocks

going to get a base line sat with a stock and a 19turn burshed

[Brandon G]

James, you better be doin some hobby lovin to that thing tonite, it's fixin to get broke in....
No more "new" smell....

I should be down at Thunder about 1pm. I will have your motor.

Great Run

now to figure out how to get more on power steering
solve my wing problem ,change the reciver to my futaba 2.4

[HENSLO]

No....Henslo is not ready.....gold tub undergoing a rebuild but it will be soon!
Thanks to Brandon Giles for finding a nice buggy....I will see you soon brother so we can square up!!
And no JSR's green springs did'nt come in......he stole/borrowed them off of my buggy! See if I let any of my racecars spend the night at his house again!

[jsrracing]

busted on the springs .

mark i know your secret (hope you do a build/racer thread)


i have some work to do on mine


man it pushed like a pig exiting onto oval underpower. had really good turn in but seemed gittery. exit speed was insane with a 19turn brushed.

to help the push underpower? what will happen if i go to 0 rear blocks
to help the gittery ? may have been the feel of the brushed motor.
going to change the radio and speedo. will be using brushed til novak let there new spedo loose

[markt311]

more rear camber, try 1.5 degrees negative.

I'm working on the new car, it's almost done so no build thread. Just have to get some small parts and some tires.

Hey, do you have a link for a place that sells the brushed motor you were running? I need a new motor or I have to wait to buy another brushless speed control.

[Charlie don't surf]

now to figure out how to get more on power steering

what is your front toe in/out set up like?

[jsrracing]

plus 1 on the toe . hey thanks for stoping by charile.

hey mark, tower and stormer hobbies 19 turn single.

the 19 turn is a epic can that i got from mrd . its one of the 12 scale on road 19s i think .

im going to pick up one of the 19 turn doubles from tower and try it .
there about 20 bucks for the venom racing motors .
