[Lyric]

[looker2756]

I gotta say I have so many toys. I might have to get a few of my old Monsters ready for some fun too. I know I'm looking forward to the event. Having all scales of vehicles in one event is going to be awesome !

[NLRCMD]

I was/am hoping to get a 5T before the World Finals but funds are tight at the moment. But, I'll have fun running my other trucks anyway.

[Lyric]

sup mike cant wait to get on that track and show off the speed demon

[NLRCMD]

I can't wait to get out there and run my newly upgraded to Big Block T-Maxx. I still haven't broke in the motor yet... Maybe I'll get to that this weekend.

Been spending time building an E-maxx to run in the electric class also.

Now I have a bunch more bodies to paint, lol.

[Maxx man]

hey guys I have a question...
what time does it all start? I looked on the websight and I couldnt find anything:confused:

I have another question

How many people run in the run what ya brung class? cause I dont have a monster...

[Lyric]

i advise you be there at 9:30 so u can be ready and prepared or help set up but the run whacha brun is new so i cant tell u how many people will be in it

[Lyric]

http://www.nolimitrcofmaryland.com/calendar.html

this give all the info

[Maxx man]

thanks I should be there with my slash :D its got a vxl system in it to so it screams!!!!!!! no lipo though:(

[Lyric]

o iight mabey the dude with the e-revo might have some compition

[Maxx man]

need some batteries though...

I hope I can make it I didnt know it but my dad has stuph going on that day and my mom doesnt like driving to places she doesnt know

[NLRCMD]

If there is not enough people for an electric 4x4 class they will be put into the run whatcha brung class.

I might be able to rent you a lipo... lol (11.1v 3s 5000Mah)

[Maxx man]

I would love to but I dont have a charger that can charge them and plus I dont think my parents would want me to do that

[NLRCMD]

I just meant if you didn't have a battery for the race, I could probably hook you up for the race. Not to take it home with you.

[Maxx man]

oh I have a battery I think I should get another one... probebly go to the lhs soon

but thanks for the offer!

Im not that comfortable with lipos either

[NLRCMD]

Lipos are not as bad as you think they are. Actually they rock. Longer Run Times, more Power.

[Lyric]

is their a race in febuary because it says so in xtreme rc car magazine

[NLRCMD]

I posted that before I talked to the rest of the crew about events. That's cool that is made it into a magazine tho. If the weather stays the way it is there will be no possible way. But, I think we are just going to shoot for March. We might throw a dash for cash in there somewhere.

[Lyric]

so your not coming out what if lots of people come and their is no race

[NLRCMD]

I hope they are smart enough to check the website.

[Lyric]

o your right because how are they supposed to get the adress

[Maxx man]

man I cant wait this will be my first official compitition:D

[Lyric]

you can come in last and it will still be fun trust me i know:o

[Maxx man]

lol that will probebly be me this time lol:o

[NLRCMD]

The best advice I could give you is to set up obsticles, like cones and learn to make turns. That is the area that most mess up. Get to know how fast you can make a turn without rolling, etc.

[Maxx man]

k when all this snow and ice melts and drys up a bit Ill do that;)

[Lyric]

it should be easy for you but with our MT's the tend to roll over alot because high center of gravity

[Maxx man]

the slash tends to roll alot to... its basically a stampede with a different body the chassie is different but it still sits high like the pede so I definetly need to stiffen it up a bit...

[Lyric]

i was bashing to day in the ice the maxx wouldn't even move just burnouts:D:D:mad:

[Maxx man]

ya I put my waterproof ecs in the two days ago and just a tamiya stock motor (burnt out my titan:mad:) and it didnt do so well :rolleyes:

[Lyric]

i dont do electrics but i know burnt out means bad
this time bad=bad:(:(:(

[Maxx man]

ya well it gave me the excuse to buy the vxl system;):D:D:D:D

[Lyric]

your slick :D:D:D i cant do that beacause i suport myself in the hobby no one else

[Maxx man]

Im by myself also nobody helps me out...

I had been saving up for it anyway... it just acelerated the purchesing of it thats all;)

[Lyric]

do u have a job

[Maxx man]

ya thats how I fund my rc stuph...

but Im close to getting a car and buying gas and insurence:( so rc is gunna go on hold for a while... after I buy one more car lol

[Lyric]

ill take 3 rc cars over a real car any day:D:D:D

[Maxx man]

well I dont think I have to buy a car... my grandfather has a ford ranger he doesnt use and he says he will give it to me:D but you know grandparents lol:rolleyes:

[Lyric]

if i had one i would put a lift kit and some off road tires on it

[Maxx man]

yep thats my plan:D anyway we are thread jacking again lol remeber what happend last time?

[Lyric]

k hit later

[Maxx man]

just wondering does anybody know about what time it ends? I really dont care just wondering

[Lyric]

i usaully leave about 5:30 6:00 but there is know exact time racing is over

[Maxx man]

I firgured that it didnt have a set end time I just wanted to know so I can give my parents an aproxament time

[NLRCMD]

Personnally I would like to get done around 4-5pm. Depending on how many racers show up we might get pushed to 5-6 but hopefully we get done before it starts getting dark.

As we get more and more attendance the registration time will get earlier.

[Maxx man]

cool I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lyric]

you cant wait, i cant wait i havent raced in forever

[Maxx man]

one more question...

what is the nlrc style racing?

[Lyric]

like monster jam racing

[Maxx man]

umm... ok I know what your talking about:D sounds fun... wish I had a monster:( wich one is it? the oval? or is it the two lane sprint to the finish?

[Lyric]

IDK it changes every racing so there is no advatages

[Maxx man]

oh thats cool I knew it changed just wasnt sure how...

[Lyric]

here are pics of the old ones

http://s103.photobucket.com/albums/m144/Hylton32/October%204th/?albumview=grid

[Maxx man]

cool thanks man!!!!!!!

[Lyric]

i wish we had a accuall track

[Maxx man]

that would be cool... at least we can still do it right?

[Lyric]

i would put in all the work to build one if some one took care of the finaces

[Maxx man]

ya same here I would love to help build it:D but getting the funds would be hard...

[Lyric]

if every keeps paying to racing they should have the money but i dont know where the money goes

[Maxx man]

hmm... thats a good question...

maby to keep grave digger running

[Lyric]

no thats not true cuz we in maryland they probably dont do that in North carolina where he be at

[Maxx man]

ya but doesnt he run it all? or is he just another competitor?

[Lyric]

i dont know if he races rc but probably

[Maxx man]

I saw a vid of him on youtube running his truck... rc that is

[NLRCMD]

The only thing Dennis Anderson does is provide a venue to hold the races at. He is a great guy that gives up his yard to hundreds of racers and spends his Memorial Day Weekend signing autographs, taking photos and announcing during the event. Yes, He does compete but the best part is watching his freestyle which he doesn't stop until his truck is broke.

Money from the entree fees & raffles buys trophies, paper, printer ink, The Pulling Sled, Etc. All the groups dumped a lot of money to get things going and I know I haven't taken a dime back from entree fees, it all goes back into the club to buy things that we need to make our events better. I put my bills behind getting things going in Maryland because I dumped so much out. But No Limit R/C of Maryland is not about profit and if it ever becomes a job that is when I am getting out of it. We do this for fun and that is what it is all about.

[Maxx man]

Oh I never questiond wether or not the money was pocketed I knew it was put to good usee I was just wondering what thats all...

[Lyric]

is it possible to build a permanate track

[Maxx man]

If it would be ok with my parents I would gladly help

[Lyric]

Oh I never questiond wether or not the money was pocketed I knew it was put to good usee I was just wondering what thats all...

same here i knew it was going to good use because mike is not that kind of person

[Maxx man]

hmm... how could we build up some money to do that?... other then begging...

[NLRCMD]

We are talking with the Rec center to see if we can get it down to dirt but there will never be a permanent/fixed track or track layout. That is not the way Monster Jam is and that is what we are mocking.

We are also talking with Hobbyshops around the area to hold events at their shops. We might do one in PA and we might go as far south as Alexandria, VA since we have a couple racers that drive from there. If there is a hobbyshop on the eastern shore I wouldn't be against running one there either since we get a couple guys from there too. If we could get a points "tour" that would be even better then having the races at one place all the time.

[Maxx man]

have you checked with GPA hobbies? I know they used to have a track but had to take it down wonder if they still have the land?

and I understand that there cant be a fixed track because its monster jam but haveing dirt would be nice thats fur sure...

[NLRCMD]

No I haven't but you are welcome to PM me some contact info or ask them yourself.

[Lyric]

well can we at least get some dirt

[Maxx man]

No I haven't but you are welcome to PM me some contact info or ask them yourself.

k ill find that stuph out...

[Maxx man]

another question....

how long is one race if you want to call it? and do you think two battery packs will be enough or do I need more?

[NLRCMD]

A race takes approx .20-.30 seconds depending on the size of the track we build but if you get eliminated early then you will have plenty of time to charge up before the freestyle and/or pulling.

[Maxx man]

lol ok... I have a 2nd battery pack on the way so I should be pretty good with 3 total a 3300, 3000, 1500 all 7cells

[No Limit]

A race takes approx .20-.30 seconds depending on the size of the track we build but if you get eliminated early then you will have plenty of time to charge up before the freestyle and/or pulling.

Mike do you mean 20-30 seconds cause .20 seconds is wicked fast.

[Maxx man]

hmm... I know it depends on the amount of people but about how many rounds are there on averadge?

[NLRCMD]

Mike do you mean 20-30 seconds cause .20 seconds is wicked fast.

Yea, .20 would be supa fast. lol

[Maxx man]

another question... is it ok if I use a sencorless brushless motor? cause thats all Ive got

[NLRCMD]

another question... is it ok if I use a sencorless brushless motor? cause thats all Ive got
