I generally felt safer at the race track than on the road with first class morons.
Cept when I ran the idiot who would not let up for nothing. Not surprisingly he
wrecked his car.

Ok guys great news I received a email today from the guy hosting state race. The track will no longer be 20v 1.5amp it will now be 22v 10a from a variable power supply each lane wired separate. I know we can get some good ideas going now.let hear them. I'm also interested in rtr cars I have never built a neo and I'm guessing its gonna be a pain in the behind lol
Thank yall
Lewis

New parameters are the playground of our man in Tennessee. Info may be forthcoming soon.
Any reason given for change ? New v/a's make a whole new ballpark.
........ Peter
Forgot, will each lane have its own power supply or is 10amp for both ?

Looks like we have another guy who wants to go fast. Glad to see it.

He dident say why except that they have decided to go with the power supply on the lanes he said and I quit it the way he wrote it. "we will be going with 22v 10amp this year for state. The lanes are going to be individually wired to the power supply. The shut down will be 15-20ft with a padded catch box at the end. Com drops will be allowed as long as they don't leave drops on the track". I sent him the email asking a few more things when I got the news. the web page still says 1.5amp so I'm guessing this is a very recent change because I spoke with him a few weeks ago and amps were 1.5. Also I'm guessing that not all of other people know about the changes. So I guess I'm not sure if the power supply will be putting around 5amps to each or if its going to put 10 to each since its a variable power with two different sides. It has 4 knobs one volt and one amp per side of the track.

Sounds like power supply is dual output........ often these are capable of supplying given amps per output.

It is critical to know if that power supply has a dual 10 amp output.
Lewis I welcome the interest and the challenge.
So far it has been sadly lacking. Thought it would be very
interesting to those on this site. So far only you and Peter are
the only ones interested.
We have a whole 11 months to get ready for the next race. At my voltage,
amperage and track length 60 mph is the next hurdle.
I was quite amazed that I was able to hit the 50+ speeds I did.

Lol I probably wont even be competition. I still have a ton to learn but I gotta get a track set up so I can even try to figure out how to actually build faster cars. As it stands rite now you would probably whip my but wit a g jet

I don't think interest lacks....... think most soak up info like sponges.
What kind of arms...... errr winds were the arms you used to hit 50+ ? Guage , feet , turns whatever you could pass on would be great.
The outlaw inlines were new to the NTRA. I thought the guts from road cars I have might cut it. But fell way short. Inlines, being relatively new to the NTRA. May take a bit of a learning curve.

Lewis I only started doing this in 2014.
Some of my electronics and drag racing experience helped but most everything I learned was from experience or on this site. Lots of testing which comes from my drag race days, I think I found out something at almost every test and tune session.
What you think will work does not always work and something that makes little sense works. Look at my post on the weight discussion. I surely learned something from that and tried to pass it on.
Peter, (Pceng), has been by far the biggest help for me. Now I am passing on some of the things I have learned to him. He will surely be a contender in the next inline race. He was the fastest runner besides us hitting some nearly 40 mph runs, 38.52 was his best.

I agree with the weight I read it the other day when you posted it. You would think weight would slow them down not speed them up. I have read almost every post on here lol have alot of time waiting on shippers to load and unload trucks. I'm not sure about the pancake cars so it will probably be a while before I mess with them but I am defiantly gonn try to have some I inlines in thin fall and at the next unlimited race. I'm gonna email the guy over state again and see about the power supply amperage also

The weight did slow all the cars down except for the tiny tire T jet. That was the most interesting part of the test. It seemed that extra weight helped the traction lacking car but the speed increase was strange.

It seemed that extra weight helped the traction lacking cars but the speed increase was strange. If stock tires were used the compound and width had a lot to do with them spinning. Weight was only getting traction problem under control. I may be wrong but if tire/wheel combo provided ample traction. I think results of testing would be the same as that of other chassis used in testing. ....... Peter |
