the Future is here!

time to sign up for a iphone!

Going to race at Horsharm! with New wiring

I will finally get to run at the horsharm indoor carpet this Sunday, Ray Murray who organised this "slow-birds" was kind enough to have this race on Sunday for rest of us!

to get ready for this race I 'm doing few things.

I soldered input wires on back of a Tekin RS then soldered Deans in 90 degrees to get wiring more simple and also save some high gravity mounted weight, 2pc of 12 AWG in few inches should be meaningful weight on car's cornering weight.

but...I can't shrink wrap the wires, I quit smoking 2years ago and got rid of all the matches, lighters and candles!

I'm going to start off with Greg sharpe's set up for the track but that 2deg front anti dive and the 41t Fr pulley kinda got me worried. oh well!

Here I come another roller coaster race day! 1st time on the horsharm, totally different set up! 3 cups of coffee!!

CANT WAIT!

A note to myself

I have to believe in myself ALWAYS!

my opinion first on my work or on my machine!

forget what others saying!

I was at race last week trying out the Tekin 203 for the first time I had my own formula to figured out the end RPM, my car was flying in TC but Friend of mine who suffered in 1/12th scale needs my help on his Tekin. I was going to enter XXXX RPM but another buddy of us who is national level in 1/12th scale keep asking me to enter higher value, much higher.

well I wasn't sure for a 1/12th scale made conformist and entered between number of his and mine on the ESC.

the result wasn't as I wanted (not fast enough)

today I read on the Tekin thread and found out my calculation was exactly correct!!

I could would, should

This could be a good one!

I see more and more people carrying a Ipod, iphone at the track, this could be a hit!

Great time in Jackson, NJ

This is our last scheduled race for the year, but for remaining the year we going to have few more races

weather was perfect decent amount of drivers showed up

My car didn't run good, I did my best time in 1st qualifying then can't get any better, car start fish tailing from 2nd run and got worse through out the day, can't get right set up on my new Tekin SR ESC either

qual 8th, finished 5th in the main

Local racer Randy B, was using a new Ballistic 13.5 by Novak and he was flying! he TQed & won the Main race.

I didn't have my laptop with me cause of broken LCD, as soon as I get my lap top repaired I ll do more testing for my Tekin, but so far I like LRP TC better.

Finished mounting Tekin RS

I tried to make neat wiring, Thought I did good then after pictures all I can say is "it looks better in real life" or are you saying "pictures tell the truth"?

I was going to submit on Bob stormer's thread on RCtech then I chickened out.

TEKIN RS/HOTWIRE for dummies

I found this wonderful text wrote by Mark Brown, before guessing what does "turbo", "timing boost" does, read this once it's in the MS Word format. (you can download word viewer from here)

My new adventure for the best Type-R

This weekend, I m going back to Jackson for trying followings

• The TEKIN RS/HOT WIRE: I knida understand what are those "timing boost" "turbo boost" and rest of terms now, and getting my Notebook LCD repair by this weekend to try out all this timing boost technology!
• Front side brace: my car had too much initial steering with a 1pc spool and a Lucas upper deck mod, going to try little bit more rigid front end to get stable input.

• Jr link: that's right! I wanted to try Jr link for few reasons, Paul Leumix hand me his tires at the end of the Xray race and I found something diffrent, he didnt have inside seam line on his Jaco blue! we all know after 2-3 runs Jaco blue creating this ugly inside line on front tires, but not him! I tried few otherway to have even wear on this tyres but never a Jr-link yet, and rest all failed, the link also have stable cornering on high bite track anyway, I may hit 2birds with a stone! or pass 2 cars at one corner!

I told you the Machine is back on my work bench, stay tuned!
