Still plenty of time left to get your guess's in on car #2s ET. Yes, Peter I can give you the low down on car #2 after I post it's ET. Hey Rob, have pretty much same thing as #2 except tire size....... wide pan , bracket car.......... different tire size (to get in skirted body)......part of reason for curiosity..... The other part is - WHAT ARE YOU/ UP TO WITH TYCO'S ? ....... have you plans on using them for something next season ......... or just something different for Pass Time........ if the timing opens up I'm going to try again , but kinda doubt it will be enough. ..............

Peter I am still racing the Patriot in one of the MOPARs. I have not given up on it. I tried there motor mags that they say competes with the better BSRT motor mags we use in MM/PS. They were a huge disappointment, not as strong. They tested out like the big ceramics they replaced. They are just lighter in weight with same strength.

The performance you are getting out of these cars is surprising. Basically a stock chassis except for tires and they run rings around anything I have. Sure have a lot to learn about this type of racing. Read some of the rules and some of the classes are running only 14 volts with stock type arms and magnets yet the performance matches anything I have no matter what type of chassis or what I have done to it + I am running at 20 volts. I am mystified!!! Doubt I will send anything in to race since my fastest G+ car can't match the T Jets.

Nice going , Dennis ! Same time my bracket car runs............ thought bigger tires might make it faster......... running like .430's on mine.
Want to mention 6 ohm arm does not necessarily mean stock.........
Hot stock, light weight, balanced..... & 6ohms
Dave, I found my first race embarrassing ! ........ and some after too ! ........... dig through the tech tips.......... lots of info............. AND DON'T LET THE TERM.STOCK FOOL.YOU ! ............ stock parts yes , but in racing form.............
............. Peter

I have looked at some of the tech tips and will look some more, obviously there is more here to learn. I may have over 40 years of full size car racing under my belt but that relates little to HO scale racing. I do not give up easily so don't count my statements as giving up. I just have a lot to learn. I have been playing pool for over 50 years and if you keep trying at that game you have no quit in you, talk about frustrating at times. Going to Vegas in August to play in the masters and defend the honor of Knoxville Tennessee. Hope I don't fall on my face. Getting back to this thread my guesses will be a lot lower since I have no clue and have been way high. Even though there is little info my guess will be .755. |

Thanks, Peter...........Does any one know where to buy a 3.0 ohm pan cake motor. I sure would appreciate any help. Good luck to every one racing at Kiwi Dave's, and thanks Dave for making it all possible. |

You can specify the ohms and any timing you might want. |

Dave........have you checked out the archives at the top right of the page. It is the vertical blue bar next to the red directory bar. A wealth of tech info in there. 2 very fundamental things to keep in mind when building. Friction and electrical path. You want low friction...everything should turn very smooth and the electrical path from the track rails to the comm should be clean. Whatever it takes to get you the best of those 2 things is a plus. Of course you have to have good parts. I think you should at least build a couple of cars for the Summer Nats and see how they do. It will give you an idea of how they run at another track and get you familiar with proxy racing. You will know what to do from there. It took me over a year before I really started being competitive, but I had a BLAST watching the cars at EVERY race. You still have time. |

I intend to look into the tech tips by all means. I will most likely try to get a couple of cars ready for the next race. Little hope of doing well however until I get all my Ducks in a row but we all have to start somewhere. I have a good understanding of electricity since I was an electronics tech in the past. As far as friction and rotating mass that does relate to full size auto racing. I once removed about 20 lbs. of weight of rotating mass from the rear of my race car and it was worth about .12 seconds in the 1/8th mile which is a substantial difference.

Excellent! We look forward to running your cars. Sounds to me like you will have no problem getting a handle on it.
