[austingost505]

some of this driving is horrible... cool vid tho

[cooptroop123]

what a waste of power. use the throttle some more.

[bullsjewells24]

wher is this?

[88bobo111]

How do you like the Tekno Kit????

[Dirtfreak15]

are you running a 4s because they limited you to that to race? or so that it would be controlable?

im converting a buggy right now and this track is actually the closest one to my house, i need to make a trip up there and hopefully race!

[ArmeniRC]

We are allowed to run whatever we want at the track, we do a lot of testing with different battery and motor setups and that day I was running 4s and a small motor. I still run 4s in my buggy because I have a lot of 4s packs and I always make 15min. I'm now running a Medusa 60mm 2200 and it's perfect.

I don't change batteries to make a car easier to drive, I change to a slower motor. I match the motor's kv with the battery's voltage to get the speed I want.

Do you have to have a 2.4GHZ system.

[ArmeniRC]

2.4Ghz is not needed. Some pro's prefer fm.

[HPIxDrift]

Ow,Did you have any problems using FM while other people did. or you have to use a crystal given by track.

[ArmeniRC]

No problems with FM, just be sure to bring a spare set of crystals in case someone else is using your channel. Should be fine, most at the track use 2.4. Are you thinking of coming out to ARC?

[HPIxDrift]

ya,I been in ARC raceway once, I wanted to race, but I dont know if I had to pay on practice days. Everybodys so busy racing. I heard theres a shop right beside the track? You might see me there next week( look for the 15yr spiked hair Tan dude). Would it be fine if I race a RWD truggy.

[DeusXMachina2]

Yeah the fm channel range is pretty empty since many people are using 2,4 gig

[JoshM20]

The reason some still use Fm is because the steering and throttle responce is quicker. Most Pro's use it because if they have a 100%deal with a radio company they have to use what the company provides. Some do not have 2.4 systems so they still use the FM.

[juanesirocky]

DSM DX3R is the fastest. im sorry for the correction.

[robthercking]

Are you a beginer or is it just a new car not try to be mean

[ArmeniRC]

Definitely not a beginner. That was my first run with the car that day (got to the track late, no practice) but I've been running that buggy for a while. What did you see in that run to make you ask?

[jessvalk]

How warm did this engine get?

[ArmeniRC]

The hottest I've ever temped it was 176. That was at the end of a 15min race, and the ambient temp was 100.

[yoshgixxer]

how many minutes of run time are you gettin out of the 5000mah pack with that setup?

[ArmeniRC]

I run 15 min mains and have always finished. I don't take any warm-up laps though, just cross the loop to check in then sit and wait for the nitros.

[ArmeniRC]

No, I didn't win, came in 6th. There were 14 cars in the main, it was a mess. Marshalls had a real tough time out there and it was very hard to drive cleanly.

I really only go WOT down the front straight, not really needed anywhere else. Thanks!

[jaejw1]

did you win... ????

also were you even trying to drive... looks like you never even went WOT... made it look so easy... good job
