Setup sheet from last weekend @ da beach track, SI, NY

Man that track is da bomb!

I should tried mid roll center but had no time to flickering with washers, also I should have narrow hexes on front and med on rear but car ran good all day regardless.

1 crash while I was leading A main cost me a 1st place, I had to hit that last corner of chicane of the death and my pal Richard P passed me to win who was TQ, I came in 2nd.

between my guys we end up with a TQ, 1st, 2nd place of the main and FASTEST LAP of the day!

Oh! also a BQ and B main 1st place by my boy Young! in Mini class.

Do not send money by Paypal personal payment

I found this great thread on the RCtech.net click to view as picture show above, everything you buy from the web should be Marked as Purchase tab > goods

if any one ask you to send money by "Personal tab" cuz no fees they saying.

don't do it! because "THEY CANNOT BE DISPUTED" that personal tab is for personal transfers and they don't take any fees out. so if you wanted to loan your bother money(for example) its free on both ends.

I bought/sold many stuffs on-line and I been burned few times too.

I thought this is something we all can related.

Bump steer on JRXS Type-R

I been running 2 gold washers under each Bellcranks since very beginning, to adjust the bump steer on the fly with following amount of washers under each ball stud of the steering hub.

• Low roll center: 2 washers
• Med roll center(low block with a 1 gold washer): 1 washer
• High roll center: no washer.

in my measurement on a hudy set up board with total of 4deg Castor, the machine is in neutral bump steer (0") with those set up.

the image showing Low roll center set up as I ran last week.

add: this mod also eliminated rubbing against upperdeck from ball end on the servo saver.

Flying Fox solid spool mod

I found half stripped out drives on my car since the race from yesterday

I thought it is better to have this spool made look like one way unit so we can use a one way out drive cups which gets to bolt down to mounted instead of snapped on to the tube but few people on RCtech pointed out one way out drive is not any better as shown below.

as many like to say " that's how it is" what can I do...

that's not my way! as usual I made my own to make the things better.

I drilled 4 holes on out drives with a 3/32" bit and screwed 5/40 set screws about 4mm long, this way it triple the contacting surface on the tube against plastic out drives.

One thing that concerned me is like what Mike L from MikeLdesign.com (also a type-R driver) is "there is no fuse, would you rather it be the plastic out drive or your LCD collar?' and I don't want that problem, only thing I can think of is run the front belt loose enough to be skiipped before LCD coupler get damaged.

follow up: since I did this mod, I didnt have any trouble on the spool or out drives yet, I ran 100 + packs with stock, SS, or 10.5 Mod with it, try it you will thanks me later.

Had awesome time at the Beach track in Staten Island, NY

Awesome weather, Great turn out!

I started with a Take off 32, car was okay, then with a set of RP30 Type-R was flying!

the track had a chicanes with no straight away! I limit front droop to 1.2mm and Low roll center all around, everything else usual.

I was only Losi out there with rest of the field filled with many HB Cyclones, TC5, few Xray (of cos!) and Tamiyas

that's my car on da picture leading the way, I qualified 3rd, finished 2nd with a FASTEST single lap time of the day!

some of my local guys did good at 2009iic

Race Type-R at Staen Island this Sunday, also a bumper mod

I been running my xxx-s their last few times but decide to take the machine out there

Tired of bring Tonka to F1 racing sort of thing, had some hard times keeping up with all the modern sedans

also this is final race of the season for the track and want to do better or give 1005 of what I got for one last time at the beach, I will probably change a main chassis, a upper deck and all the wear and tear parts before this year carpet season so few more scuffs or some sand in tranny won't bother me so much.

oh almost forgot

a bumper mod? yeah all I did was drill a hole by lower front shock mounting screw and glue a coffee stir stick in to it, no more bumper removing for a shock maintenance. as you can see it on da image above.

Type-R I found on iic 2009

check out his music wire nerf wing!

This could be a good one!

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

Aluminium hex mystery on JRXS type-R Solved

Found a source of the problem.

I found out CVD, LCD axle hole got enlarged after 1 1/2 seasons of use. the hole on my axles are oval shape.

I just tried new set of LCD and no problem with a same hub, same BBs, all same old alum hexes.

but here is the kicker

I looked at my 8years old XXX-S CVD hole and they are fine, perfectly circled holes.

only thing I can think of it is XXX-S CVDs are made by MIP here in the USA, and I believe all this LCD and RCD's are made in Taiwan even thought all the packaging showing "made in USA" (old green color tag) on mine

Losi once been sued for improperly used a “Made in the U.S.A.” label and lost, then they changed all their label to "Made in Taiwan" tag (new grey color tag) you can read the settlement here

in my past experience American steel products are far stronger than one that from Asia and I think this is a same case too.

now if your wheels get grindy even with new set of BBs then you will need to go buy new axles for $14.00/pair which will last longer than $12.00/pair alum hexes.

drilling a hole closer on this soft steel axle made things worse and I think Losi knows that.
