MMEU Night at Larry's 12-17-13

Yes I did. Thanks Tony.

I guess I'll need tires and a speedo for the losing too. I'll try the 5000 basic with an witty bitty pinion.

Oh boy... you are in trouble... LOL get out your check book! That car racing thing isn't cheap either. Says the guy who was looking at used cars just before typing this! Ha ha

[teetriple]

So Mike what car you getting ? try a buggy they are alot easier to set up to run on larrys just my opinion and cheaper to maintain

[Shooter]

+1 Get a buggy! It's the F1 of off-road, although a lot of the other classes are catching up in lap times. SC is darn near buggy now with the low CG.

Hey - Does anyone know if Larry's sells wood? Note I said 'sells', not 'has'. Thx.

[longballlumber]

How much and what size are you looking for???

Larry doesn't have any plywood that I can recall.

Great Lakes Hobby has a very nice ply/blasa selection... however they don't have much beyond that for boats. It's mostly models (plastics), trains, die-cast, and slot cars. https://www.greatlakeshobby.com/

Another great place for what I call "hobby building supplies" is Prop Shop Hobbies. They have a great selection of all building supplies. http://www.propshophobbies.com/Default.asp

If your only looking for Plywood try looking at Michael's Craft store. They have it, but I am not sure they sell the large 12X48 sheets (I simply can't remember).

If you want to order in bulk you can get it shipped to your house from http://www.nationalbalsa.com/Default.asp

Later,
Ball

Get it from US Balsa. Pennies on the dollar.

I'm NOT racing. Just turning laps to better my depth perception.

[T.S.Davis]

haha Do I keep changing to larger and larger wheels until it burns up and then dial it back a tick?

[Shooter]

Wow. You guys know your wood! Thanks!!!!!!

[T.S.Davis]

Nankin has ply too but prices are likely high. US Balsa, that's all they do.

[T.S.Davis]

Hey guys. How many amps is normal for a ESC in a car?

[teetriple]

Max amps on most 10th scale ECS is 120 amps I think you would be fine with something in 90 amp range

[Todd Fleury]

Hey guys, just moved back to Michigan. Was a racer out in district 9 for the last 4 years. Maybe I can get my losi scte 4x4 out there when you all meet again. Only downside, is I don't have hard packs.

[teetriple]

Not to many tracks around here enforce hard pack rules

[T.S.Davis]

I don't own any hard packs but I asked Bob to bring some in for me. I think he has some 5000 hard case's on the shelf.

Turns out the Slash sheared a pin off. First gear inside the case had sheared the pin that keys it's position on the shaft coming into the case. That's on a brushed motor. Not sure how that happens.

[T.S.Davis]

Slash complete converted and repaired.......................................... ..yay
