july 20 race day

[A.l.b.]

well speed weekend was good and my car did great!

[A.l.b.]

but my shock cap popped off luckily nothing came out

[valk]

nothing will come out, just oil. youtube rc shock building to learn how to build shocks properly.  its a bit fiddly.

[A.l.b.]

ya what i meant was no oil came out i just had to screw it back on.

[valk]

If the shock cap camr off entirely, make sure the bladder is still in the cap and refill as per youtube instructions. You definitely lost oil if the cap came off completely. You would feel popping when you compress shock.

[A.l.b.]

the cap is back on and the Blatter is in. i did lose some oil but not a lot. it is back together

[A.l.b.]

hey would i be able to run a 8-10 turn brushless motor  in touring stock but with the esc in blinky mode?

[jarrodH]

I would have to say no on that.

[valk]

17.5 brushless
zero timing esc
2s Lipo hardcase, preferably roar approved
Spec muchmore tires

rules for our touring stock is the same as almost anywhere else.

[A.l.b.]

ok that was what i thought

[A.l.b.]

well i should get faster lap times now that the rear suspension is harder and also i trimmed back the body so it would not catch the tire! g-wizz that was annoying, that extra bit of body catching the tire set me back 6 seconds in the main! that was terrible. the race was good though.

[A.l.b.]

well i finally finished my rc monster truck kit. what i did was get a bunch of traxxas parts and made my own monster truck. and of course i made it look like the famous grave digger. woo that thing is quick!

[A.l.b.]

oh also when i turn and hold my car it makes a slight shhhhhhhhhh noise is that normal? nothing is rubbing and the belt it tuned right.
