what did ya run
 
Just wondering what everyone ran this weekend. I ran the hurricane, matrix buggy and truggy and attempted the mega p 1/8th truck on the track. Its better off to bash around the fields .The buggy and truggy did great though. My son was screwing around with the hurricane and added a set of 1 inch wheel spacers .. looked funny but handled great.

I ran my snowblower we got nailed with snow here in Edmonton. It's not as fast as my nitro's but at least it is easier than using a shovle . I bet I had her up to speeds of .2 miles per hour.[X(]

Let me rephrase that Ed, it was the megap truck. The 1/10scale truggy did ok(couldn't clear all the jumps but that is expected having a small block) . The truck isn't made for the track. Just wanted to try it out.

ehroof 04-20-2008 09:04 PM

RE: what did ya run
 
i remember you saying to me on the phone that the truggy did clear your jumps and you were amazed how good it was.

Chubbysdad 04-20-2008 09:06 PM

RE: what did ya run
 
Depends on the track conditions. This whole week has been super dry. Get it damp and gets more bite. I am not bashing the truggy at all. For the money it is fine. I simply stated what I ran and what broke.

LOL, there deffinatly made for the track, there's no two ways about it after running every single one of them myself, that they are deffinatly made with the track in mind.

Chubbysdad 04-20-2008 09:09 PM

RE: what did ya run
 
If you think the 1/8th scale truck is for the track, you need to goto some tracks more often. Its abasher.

RE: what did ya run
 
i thought most trucks were for bashing? I also remember you saying to me how great the mxt2s handled and you couldnt get over how it wouldnt flip.

Chubbysdad 04-20-2008 09:13 PM

RE: what did ya run
 
Yes Ed, it is hard to flip as a basher. I agree. If you read my post I said it is a basher but wanted to take it out to the track to try it out. At least you agree it is a basher.

I don't know I thought it handled just fine at the in door track in Garland. Jumps great too, nice and easy to control, well balanced. Maybe it's the driver??

Thats possible wade, I dont think there are many as good as you out there. I'm just a rookie :) But then again, you love jumping in to cause trouble.

Well my brother and I went to the local school yard baseball diamond and ran our hurricanes. His is only on it's 4th tank of fuel and still breaking it in but good times were had by all. :D

i ran my tornado this weekend with a new motorsaver air filter, it felt so much safer......
i couldn't run any touring cars, was waiting for parts (i swear, that curb came out o nowhere:D)

AffordableRC 04-21-2008 12:14 AM

RE: what did ya run
 
Did you notice any power increase with the motorsaver air filter??

rc rock 04-21-2008 03:21 AM

RE: what did ya run
 
yes i noticed a small power increase, low end mostly, but the big difference was in the idle, it could barelly i dle for 20 sec with a lot of tuning before, now it'll idle nearly a min:D

Yeah, I ordered my parts from Rob on Tuesday, got 'em Thursday. Couldn't believe it! [X(] Great prices and had everything I asked for in stock (including some goofy stuff).

Yeah, we got the snow down here too. After a couple days in the garage working on my project car, I took the Tyranno out for a short rip in the back alley. Plugged the air filter with powder in 3 minutes, and couldn't even get near full throttle (you need perfect traction for the awesome power of the VX18, I guess, haha)
