Sweet track!

[brushlessboy16]

I will just have to live out of the back of my kia sportage

it was soo fun.. But i could really brin down my lap times if i can clear the single-tabletop-sigle in a single bound.. :)

Take that first turn as wide as possible to keep up your speed and you might have a chance!

I just don't get that track...Your supposed to go counter clockwise, and theres WAY to many jumps going away and towards you as well.

I'd have to agree with squee here.... unless you can clear the triple...

Otherwise nice track!!

The track direction is not a standard thing, the the only jump that you cannot see is the one at an angle coming towards you the rest are fine.

Got any pics of your truggy after race day?

I think the track is OK. I've raced on a couple tracks where you kind of have to set up for a jump blind and as long as you make sure you aren't coming in super hot (like mid-drift) you can usually pull it off fine.

However, what I don't understand is why the jumps are so steep. You'd have to seriously nail the jumps at a perfect speed or else you are going to miss the (small) landing ramp.

High res pics... Unfortunately someone rutted the first set of jumps with a quad :( the track builders were pissed. Yesterday at the track we added about 7 or 8 whoops on the short strait before the front strait to slow cars down befor the final corner(the track was starting to get wavy from cars pulling up dirt), fixed the quad damage and just did some general maintenance. then had a bit of practice there were a total of about 5 of us there, so it was pretty fun- got to drive a couple different cars.... Ok ill stop blabbing, here are the pics







Any NJ/PA/DE racers- the official opening day is This upcoming sunday 5/10!

Come on out so we can get an electric 8th scale clas goin!

Sounds like fun(although you might want to check your solder joints before you hit the track again). I wish I had a track like that near me(closest one is a state over).

The soldering itself is not the problem.. its the bad male bullets.. they keep frying on me. i will probably end up direct soldering into the female's

here is a panoramic i took, its a little bit bigger than the other one thats up there. we were there just this past weekend to help with the track. it isnt in the pic, but by next week there will be 7 or 8 whoopdedoos along the last bend before the straightaway to help control the speed so the last corner before the straight doesnt get ripped up, so the starts of the races will be smoother. be paitient with the pic loading, its big

Well I had my first full day of racing. First qualifier I placed 7th, second 4th, qualified 7th for the main. Started out decent and worked my way to first when disaster x2 struck. First I thought I smoked something when it stopped running Turned out my pinion came off, and yes it was loktited on. I ran back to the pits and was going to throw another pinion on, when I set it on my table the pinion rolled out ,SWEET, threw it back on and tightened the piss out of it and got back on the track. About two laps later as I approaced the triple I spun out Had no idea what happen till I ran out and picked it up. My axle popped out of the drive cup and wedged between the cup and lower arm. That completely took me out of the race I have some videos I will post once they load up on youtube.
