[markny]

dont laugh to hard or someone have a heart-a- tack. but are there rules at rhr ? if so can you post . thanks

[Wing01]

Classes are usually mini LM, 17.5 sportsman, smallblock, and bigblock edm, 17.5 and 13.5 latemodel, 13.5 sprints, and trucks. You have to run foam tires. You shouldn't have any problem finding a class Mark. Hope to see you up there.

Hey,Ross
Do you have you Keystone done?

You! :ha:
now that would be funny, a rolling speedbump

[rawlmaddog]

I can't wait :thumbsup:
who is moving to BB this year? What should it be based on?Straight away speed,Age,how many cars&trucks you have,how much you over charge your batteries,how you stand at the drivers stand or who you have beaten on the track.:beer::revs::tire::trophy:;)

[DeadLast]

NO, if you use those criteria, then I would have to run BB, I am not up to that challenge.

[shoemaker]

rawlmaddog is qualified for B.B. but run S.B. because he can win. I guess thats OK. Any one can sign up for any class. But rules do change. I dont think they can force anyone up in class. But rules do change. OLD age keeps some of us down. We cant keep up with the technology. But we all love the hobby. So lets Race.

[pancartom]

the fact of the matter is that there haven't been enough cars to fill a BB heat on a weekly basis...

[rspilman]

Hey,Ross
Do you have you Keystone done?


I do, hope to see you guys there!

[Hotrodracer]

ill be there with my 17.5 sportsman and my truck, yes im trucking it

Bruce bounces back and forth in classes. I've seen Bruce run SB, win, tear up his equipment bc it was just "one of those nights" in the SB class. I've also seen Bruce run BB, finish last and have a good time on the track and have fun running with everyone. Its all personal preferance. I've run with Bruce at Redneck in the SB class, we've gone wheel to wheel for many laps and walked away smiling and laughing, not caring who beat who.

[Mr. T-4T]

How about an exclusively 17.5 smallblock no cheat or timing advance on controller class with teching for voltage? open to anyone who can do a minimum # of laps to keep it small block or better as far as ability is concerned, if you want to race in the class you have to meet the motor, timming and ability requierments, this would allow for racing in 2 classes with the same car just by changing to the cheat mode for a regular cheat small block or big block class.

Mr Todd.
That would be a good idea for the Sportsman class! Except if you run SB you cant run Sportman.

I think that if you dont "like" the speeds of today and you plan on running The Hill, run SB. That class used to be a good class, it needs some more cars.

[rspilman]

I like Mr. Todd's idea. I know this debate is going on and on, but somebody has to grab the Bull by the horns and start enforcing this type of racing. sportsman, for the newbies, a spec class with motor/batt./esc limits, for the regulars, and then Outlaw 17.5's (mod, open, whatever you want to call it), and BB for the "experts" . with a simple push of the "mode" button it can go from mild to wild!! :revs:

[ten7]

:checkeredflag:I am looking forward to coming to the hill also, never ran the track before and I have only heard good things! Probably wont make every weekend but will try as often as I can. :thumbsup::greenflag:

Richie: what most people don't think about is that when you take a 17.5 and add the timing and boost from the speed controller you now have a 13.5 in the car with a less than smooth power on if the ranges are set wrong, so we now have a small block class running 13.5s on a track that most big block drivers would have a hard time running 13.5s on with any control. Sportsman should not be running any timming or boost advance. It's not a matter of whether we like the speeds of today or yesterday, it's whether we know when we are in over our heads and a lot of us don't seem to know, if you can't run consistant laps, are all over the place, running over people and constantly wrecking it may be a to fast for ability problems, so a slower stock class may help us step back and find a nitch or get us prepared for the next step, which is up I hope, but in the mean time 17.5 cheat is not the same as 27t stock with Nimh, oh no, now the Batteries, any are fine with me.

[RCRACR20]

Any one have a 21.5 to test? Could solve some problems also. With as fast as the Tekin "spec" mode is (supposedly, have not seen it in use yet), running 21.5's would bring things back to the old 17.5 speed. Might be a good balance for the non expert classes.

[JimmyD]

Cody and I will be there when his football schedule allows.... Right now it is tough... I will continue to run BB with you guys... I have an RS now and a hotrod motor ;) and hopefully with the continued help from the Bob and Tom show and whoever else has some quality input, I will improve on my personal best... We cant be there Sat. but hopefully the next week...

people only want it like this because they dont want to spend the money on the good stuff when i first started brushless stuff just came out i never ran brushed stuff my first speed controll was a tekin rs that was a little off subject the sportsman class is for learners but let them learn with whats new if they learn with a 21.5 then bump up to the 17.5 they still will be all over the place i like it the way it is show up with a tekin rs or a mamba a lipo and a 17.5 and race what ever class you want remember we racing for fun not $ i ran 57 to 58 laps pretty consistant last year in sportsman when the big block guys were running 60 61 laps but iam still not ready to bump so iam staying in sportsman:D

there is no way i will run bb iam not ready yet i still have a lot to learn i was just giveing my thoughts on this subject i dont think they should change anything at the hill anyone that comes should run what ever class they want with no speed controll rules :thumbsup::D

Spec class has my vote :thumbsup:Speed is over rated good competive racing is whats fun.If everyone has a chance at winning thats what brings racers back every week.If one or two guys are the only ones winning because the others cant handle that much speed there not going to want to race.And there for why bother going if you cant compete.Its always more fun to run close with the competition.A track that has different winners every week will always draw a better crowd.And if one guys is aways struggling with his car you better help him because he wont put up with it verry long before he quits.And i know its not much fun racing alone.If all we care about is how fast we run down the straight away maybe we should be Drag raceing not oval racing.

[JimmyD]

Actually, most of the time the BB guys were turning 63-65 laps last year, with the new ESC's. It was me that was only turning 60-61 laps, and that was with an old GTB esc... :o

[pancartom]

seems to me that the easy answer is to run one SB class that has the "spec" software and 17.5 motor, and the outlaw SB that has the open software and 17.5 software. The problem is if there are only 2 or 3 guys that want to run outlaw every week, then I'd expect that everyone would opt for the "spec" software class because there are more cars in it. Would we have the same guys winning in that class? Don't know for sure, but I have an idea that they might. Also, I for one have no interest in running 13.5 BB at the hill. Way too fast for these old eyes...

[shoemaker]

Is this class for beginners only? I think most drivers entered in this class are more than beginners. But some of old timers with less that the top equipment would like to run a little slower and with a lot of cars on a slower pace this could be a nice class. I would like to run the 21.5 class with a old GTB ESC. Who can enter this class?

[scott victory]

I am planing on bumping up to BB this season

Why not try
Sportsman....21.5
Small Block...17.5
Big Block.......13.5

and i would like to volinteer to help tech

[JimmyD]

Thing is alot of the BB guys turn as many and sometimes even more laps with a 17.5 than a 13.5 at the Hill...... I think Mr. Todd is onto something...Sportsman & SB = no cheat turned on and BB = turn it on, turn it on... We all still use the 17.5 motors which we all have already.

[Mrs. Teddy]

I hope people go to the Hill to have a good time. It is great that Bill has the track for everybody to race at. So lets go racing.

Track Open Saturday September 11, 2010 racing starts at 6:00 P.M

[rspilman]

we should have a driver's meeting when we all get there, and talk to Bill, and agree upon what should be done. b/c there might be people that don't read this thread that race there.

this weekend I am running DODC 17.5 Latemodel (tech?) :thumbsup:
and when I get another car I will run 17.5 outlaw EDM. which reminds me, anyone have a CW SE they wanna sell??

Bruce - all last year they ran 13.5 in the sprints. I hope it stays that way.

We also ran a 13.5 and a 17.5 late model class. There was such a difference in speed with the class we split it up and it made the racing better for everyone. I think the guys just trying out LM for the first time had a better experience not getting lapped 5 or 6 times.

As for the edms I hope the small block and sportsman class can be slowed down some. It was a wreck fest last year once everyone started getting the mambas and tekins. I vote for a no timing advance allowed in those 2 classes and get guys to focus mainly on setup and driving.

We did run 13.5 in sprint, but it wasn't straight DODC. I'm pretty sure it was open 13.5 and whatever battery limitations were there for everyone. I agree that EDM should be separated. Sportsman and SB should be no cheat/spec and BB should be either 17.5 open ESCs or even 13.5 and gear to your ability. There has to be a difference between the lower classes and BB. I also think there should be an approved drivers list for BB so we don't have just anybody signing up for the higher speeds.

Not so much a banned list for the slower classes because I don't think many of the BB drivers want to go slower (other than TA and his old eyes, lol). Don't know how or who would determine it, but I think it's something everyone should think about.

[mike1976]

Ok, so "spec mode" was mentioned on slowing the cars down, wich means you have to use the new 208 software in your'e Tekin. Not a bad idea, however unless iv'e mis-read things, certain sanctioning bodies dont allow 208 currently(obviously for weekly racing this wouldnt be an issue). Also had if heard or read correctly, when you upgrade youre ESC to the 208 you can no longer go back to the older legal 200 or 203(wdra, mr. dirt) wich would render you illlegal. Somebody wanna clear that up? Or am i the only one confused here? :confused:

Mike - couldn't you just put the timing at 0 in the speed control and not switch to 208 for RHR small block or sportsman? Just a thought. I don't run a Tekin, maybe someone that does knows a way to go back to 200 or 203. I seem to remember Baker or Anderson doing that one night, I may be wrong but they might know.

Randy Pike explained one way you could do it on hobbytalk.

Here is Randy's post...

Both versions should you want to have them loaded on the same PC can be done. You simply need to install one version, rename the main directory file to say "Tekinhotwire203" then install the 208 software. You will have to icons on your desktop, the one that was renamed MUST have a new shortcut made for it to work.

It's not "hard" by any means but you need to be computer literate to do this.

I will say again though that if you manage to use the wrong hotwire you can render the unit inop.

MitchGood point Mitch, i'll PM them. I just figured with the above posts about running 208 in Spec mode for Smallblock, that taking all timing out wasnt gonna be an option. lol, just another reason i ALLMOST miss the old brushed days.... ways less confusing! :D

[fstrnu]

I would like to race with rules like these. Who is going to tech this EVERY week?
are we going to have a minimum # of wins before you bump up too? If you spin out more than twice in a race do you get training wheels? 13.5 open sprint,13.5 DODC LM, 17.5 esc restricted LM, sportsman 17.5 esc restricted with a gear rule. I'm still not sure about smallblock. I'm willing to try it IF it is teched.

[MDM Graphics]

Mike,

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't think the 208 software is going to be illegal at Radio Hill or any other weekly race. I think the WDRA was the only sanctioning body that put a limit on the software. The last WDRA race is Sunday, so you will be okay where ever you go the rest of the year.

If you stick with the 203 I think the 0 timing would work, but we won't know until we test. This just brings the LRPs and GTBs and other ESCs back into play at the sportsman and small block level.

In the end it's up to Bill, which means probably the majority will rule, so I wouldn't go making changes because a few of us are throwing around ideas. We'll all find out Saturday what's going on.

I am willing to tech when I'm there and I know Scott Victory said he would too. If it takes some of the guessing out for some of the less experienced then I'm all for it. Anything to help keep/increase the numbers.

Mitch, if i dont make it please be sure and have somebody post whats ironed out in the drivers meeting. I got called about a job interview Sat, no idea how long that'll take.

As far as doing the 208 or 0 timing with the older software i'm all for it. That'd also save people money in the long run as well. :thumbsup:

[JimmyD]

Yes Mr. Wing please let us know what is discussed and if there is any changes, as I will NOT be in attendance opening night... I am definately running BB with an RS esc... Cody will run SB with a Novak esc...

They should meet the performance level or get nocked back.You know like have there car under cotrol at all times.Not driving around on the wall.Not bounceing off every car on the track.Oh yea and beable to turn enough laps to run within 3 laps of the feild.NO BUMPER CAR drivers .Have fun wheeling there car around the track BUT NOT AT THE EXSPENCE OF THE OTHER DRIVERS.Drive like adults not children!!!!!:rolleyes:

They should meet the performance level or get nocked back.You know like have there car under cotrol at all times.Not driving around on the wall.Not bounceing off every car on the track.Oh yea and beable to turn enough laps to run within 3 laps of the feild.NO BUMPER CAR drivers .Have fun wheeling there car around the track BUT NOT AT THE EXSPENCE OF THE OTHER DRIVERS.Drive like adults not children!!!!!:rolleyes:


Totally agree... :thumbsup:

The sportsman class is there for that reason, to get control of your car... But it seems when the esc's got ridiculously fast alot moved up because they turned alot of laps a couple of times. The big challenge is learning to drive in traffic IMO.

Jimmy - I will try to let everyone know what is decided. These rules will have to be teched, but looks like we can get some volunteers. It will also be very obvious if someone is using timing when others aren't in a heat. What happens then will have to be decided by the track owner if that happens I guess. I personally don't have a car in the affected classes, but I will gladly help tech if that is what is needed.

[hotshoe8t]

what kinda rules you guys have for the truck classes there?

[fstrnu]

17.5 brushless or 27 turn brushed, truck chassis and arms, foam tires and have alot of fun.

[fstrnu]

alot of people have different mah packs now. what do we all want for a rule this year? 5400 50c , 28c open mah sound ok. I don't have an issue with the bigger mah batteries as long as they aren't over 30c. what do you guys think?

[rawlmaddog]

Ihave'nt herd any mention of the Sliders.They were a big class at Steve's track this summer and a few other tracks i have been to.They should do well at the Hill.And they are good for all skill levels of driving.I dont think they should run with the OutLaw Sprints though.They ran them on foams at Steve's.Most used C.W. wheels on all four corners.I used truck wheels in the rear of my car.Just for a more scale look and no wheel spacers are needed.:checkeredflag::trophy:

[matt_s86]

I dont think they should run with the OutLaw Sprints though.

I tried that once up there...it was brutal. Lol. We weighed the Losi car vs. a CW and it was like a pound over!

[beckhim123456]

So what are the motor sizes for BB SM this year?

[pancartom]

it looks like the preference is 17.5 in both, SB spec timing, and BB open timing.

Mike - couldn't you just put the timing at 0 in the speed control and not switch to 208 for RHR small block or sportsman? Just a thought. I don't run a Tekin, maybe someone that does knows a way to go back to 200 or 203. I seem to remember Baker or Anderson doing that one night, I may be wrong but they might know.

Randy Pike explained one way you could do it on hobbytalk.

Here is Randy's post...

Both versions should you want to have them loaded on the same PC can be done. You simply need to install one version, rename the main directory file to say "Tekinhotwire203" then install the 208 software. You will have to icons on your desktop, the one that was renamed MUST have a new shortcut made for it to work.

It's not "hard" by any means but you need to be computer literate to do this

I will say again though that if you manage to use the wrong hotwire you can render the unit inop.



I do have both versions on my PC 203,208 works great, at bubs they run spec mode I just loaded 208 in spec and away you go,then go back and load 203 for other tracks.:revs::thumbsup:

[rawlmaddog]

Who's this guy?????:D



We did run 13.5 in sprint, but it wasn't straight DODC. I'm pretty sure it was open 13.5 and whatever battery limitations were there for everyone. I agree that EDM should be separated. Sportsman and SB should be no cheat/spec and BB should be either 17.5 open ESCs or even 13.5 and gear to your ability. There has to be a difference between the lower classes and BB. I also think there should be an approved drivers list for BB so we don't have just anybody signing up for the higher speeds.
OutLaw sprint is what we were running for the WDRA.Which is any 13.5 motor and up to 5000 40C battery.Same as OutLaw EDM SM Block.:checkeredflag:

oh yeah, oh yeah, it's off to the hill we go :thumbsup:

enough talking about the ESC garbage, just run the damn cars, I have a 17.5 EDM with a tekin, and I also have a novak, I just want to run and have FUN, just because you have the "cheater" esc, doesnt mean you can drive it, lol sometimes slow is fast.
