NY/NY/CT/PA Driver! The July bash at the Barn...

[Arct1k]

Chester NY - about 25 miles out of NJ

Mike comes out and it is great to get tips from the monster

I can do the 20th. I'll prolly head over for a while on the 13th as we are visiting people in town. Unfort my truggy is using up my MM until the MMM comes out again, and the spare controller I have may take too much work to fit in. Ill work on it, but I can't promise the CRT.5. Maybe of there were a few of them coming I'd spare the effort, but IDK right now.

Arct1k has one, IDK about cem gates, and if Mike can come he said he'd bring one of his. Anymore would be cool.

[Arct1k]

I can bring along a spare modded MM...

My full size jammin crt is up and running, but my crt.5 needs work. I *might* have it ready by the 20th. My full size crt will definitely be there though.

Bye

[Arct1k]

I can bring along a spare crt .5 - LOL!

Went to the Barn today to try out the new Hyper ST. Gotta say I love this truck. Ran into RCM Mike there with a few of his vehicles in tow. Hopefully he will be able to come next week. Today was a huge Summer Series event w/ 100 entries. Mike and I got to run by ourselves in the early morning while the nitro guys watched as their machines make too much noise and aren't allowed to run until 9am. lol.

Gotta see Mike run a new Erevo w/ a 60mm 2000 kv Medusa. Looked like a lot of power and the temps stayed low. Enough power that it blew up his driveshaft before it really got put through the paces. :)

They changes the track again for a more technical track. Lots of fun, I liked it alot, but had probs w/ the triple in the back. My error really tho. Didn't get a chance to race it tho as the 8XL was just gonna run too hot and the mains they were planning were really long (30 min for A main, 20 for B,) as if I was going to make those tho. Got to take a few pics tho before it got tore up.

If you can make it at all next week I really urge you to. Its going to be a lot of fun, great layout and Mike will try and bring his .5 as well. They should be a lot of fun on this track and a little field of them will be lots of fun. Enjoy the pics and lets be ready to go next week.

Wow! ST should do well with all those turns.... Not sure if my CRT.5 will be in top shape as my motor broke... I'm all up for next w/e!

I have an ammo as as a spare...

I'm trying to make it! My mmm and 8xl are dead, might throw the titans back in my e-revo but I'm also waiting on a package from mike. Ordered a motor for my CRT.5 build. If that gets here I'll def make the trip, but I don't think its worth the drive to bring a stock e-revo, but i might. Just can't make a gaurantee at the moment

You know, I think you would be suprized how well it may do. The layout is more of a technical track and not a high spd course. You'll lose a bit on the straight, but the titans are not that far off the top spd you'll get there anyway. 35mph is all I'm going to be geared for. You may be better off anyway w/o the 8XL. I was running mine there over the weekend and I was getting pretty hot after ~10min, 177F. It was fine in the early morning when it was cool and I was driving slower as I was learning the track, but once it got warmer out and I was able to push it more things were getting hot.

Also, I was talking to MacII. He has an Erevo he's been racing on titans waiting for the MMM to back come out, and he's says he's been winning. On a smaller tech track, but as said, this one seems more than style. I'm hoping he can come as well (and then you guys will be equally matched :) )

Besides, I can guarantee you I am not a Pro driver. Just watch my videos linked in my sig from the RCM bash in Oct. 1st time on a track and I was anding on my lid more than my wheels lol. A lot of other guys were trashing it up too. But, just going out and getting some experience and figuring out what's going on helps far far more than having the uber setup.

Trust me, don't feel like you have to have some sweet setup to come or you look like a hack. Everyone is cool and just wanting to have a good time. No one cares what you bring. In fact, if you don't get your stuff on time for the .5. I have a novak SS5800 BL system that's not being used and would be more than fine in the .5. You are welcome to borrow it. Really my 12s motor on 3S is not that far off powerwise. Its got no lvc, but if the batts are decently big, it won't be a problem.. the main won't be more than 10min. I'm using a 3S 2100 pack and its fine.

[Arct1k]

Mike will be there to and could probably bring bits - Just post up what you need... There are probably enough of us and spares to convert a car in the moring!

[Finnster]

BTW Arct1k I got the 2.5D all running. Got to run it some more over lunch today and I'm quite happy w/ it on 4S. With 14/46 gearing I was doing 36-38 mph. Plenty fast and was staying relatively cool as well. I have a 13t pinion that would be fine as well, but the fins are already up against the rear brace, so I really can't go any smaller on the pinion. I need to grind down the fins a bit as it is. The more I drive the ST, the more I like it. Great find!

[brushlessboy16]

anyone have a crt.5 that they dont want?

[E-Revonut]

sorry guys but after searching for directions I'm not going to be able to make it. I was thinking it would be about 2.5-3 hrs to get there but I'm getting almost 300 miles and a 5 he trip. I can't swing an extra $80 in gas this week after buying everything for my CRT.5 build

[Arct1k]

Reserve the data at least for the annual bash and start saving gas money!
