Bill - just left you a message on the "poll" thread asking if we can hold off on decisions (rules etc...) until we can all meet --- which is what your post here is saying.

SO ---to repeat myself here -- I know you said that you can not make it out to Wayne's on Sunday. How does the 30th sound for everyone interested in forming a club?

I didnt want to turn anything on in fear of enterfearing with racers and after helping out at the races I for got to line up the front end before the race. Thank you for the help Dave and Thank you for the servo Wayne/Edie along with the ride.

The club name should be Hog Wala Raceing, we race like we stole something.

Im working 12 hours a day at the OMNI Sunday is in the air for me and it hurts not raceing for a trophy or just raceing. I like trophys - Golden Screwdriver

Mike -- we will need to change your name to TrackMan jr :D

I too saw where rain is possible on Sunday -- but I think like 30% chance - so that means 70% possibility of no rain at all!

I'm behind like 3 weeks.. Is the 30th going to be at Scott's or Waynes? Going from point A to point B and back confused me! [sm=spinnyeyes.gif] <-- What my brain is like at the moment.

Steven -- not sure where we will be on the 30th -- we are taking it week by week right now.

Dave -- I know that I got a flyer on that race --- but can't find them. Can you give me the details about that race please? That may be fun to go down and race with the Amherst County folks on thier own track!

Christian -- a couple of weeks back you said that the clutch nut on one of your buggies had come loose. Was it on your OS RG?

The clutch problems I have been having with both of our buggies is exactly the same problem. The clutch nut had come loose and was pushing up against the bearings which acted like they were all messed up. Which in fact one of them was/is due to the force. I never had this problem on my other buggies - so don't know if it is an OS thing or the Kyosho clutch nut thing.

And to those that are already thinking it.........NO IT IS NOT BECAUSE I DIDN'T TIGHTEN THE CLUTCH NUT DOWN :D

Have any of you guys with a 777 used a different flywheel other than the kyosho blue one on your buggies? I have some ofna flywheels that are a bit larger in diameter than the kyosho and will be giving them a try tonight.

Hope to see you all on Sunday - but it will depend on whether or not I have to drive my son back up to JMU or not. If I do - I'll see if we can leave early so I can stop by Wayne's track on the way home to see how everyone is doing.

No it's not a OS or Kyosho thing. It was on the MAC and it was a true PEBKAC. Just didn't check it.
They DO come loose occationally.

If you don't check before every weekend, it's a PEBKAC Joel.

PEBKAC --- :D


I've never had one come loose before. I guess I'll have to make it part of my routine check.

this is for anyone on this thread or in the charlottsville area. DO NOT DEAL WITH THE E-BAY STORE I SOLD-IT. they have no clue as to what they are doing. i listed 3 bikes with them and NONE of them showed up on e-bay only their web site here locally. i contacted them by phone and in person and they still couldn't get it right. now one of the bikes that had a bid no longer has a bid because they relisted it because of their error. they charge 30% for listing which i think is crap. why should i pay 30% to them when they only list it locally. i could list it locally for FREE in the bucksaver. needless to say i am PISSED.[:@]

I never used e-bay and never will :eek:.

I'm here ........now.......... running too many reports to be checking messages easily.

This weather stinks! Looks like it is supposed to clear up by Sunday though - or that is the projection at least.
