Tech everyone except 1 that won't pass...lol. I am not complaining about any of the faster guys just to clarify. Top to bottom to ensure clean racing the class needs to be legal IMHO.

Some of the racers are running multiple classes for extra track time. Not to avoid marshaling.

And I believe the drivers that are fast are fast because they have done this for a while and are good. Or they are practicing a lot. We are running a stock 17.5 motor in mod buggy and are not running too bad there.

I know in the month or so that Jeremy has been running off-road, he has gotten better because we practice at least 2 time a week. It's a blast for us and we have tried different setups and what not. Cheap entertainment for $5. Thanks to Jake for the track and to Alex and all that help keep it up and running.

I would still like to have the link to a clear set of rules though. Not that I care what anyone else is doing. Only to make sure we are legal.

I had a good time the other night. I ran pretty good for me. I know as a fairly new driver I am still learning how to pass and be passed without wrecking or taking someone else out. It is never intentional when I hit someone. I know in stock corr my truck landed right on top of Loren's truck. I apologized when that happened and I am pretty sure he wasn't mad at me either because he new it was not intentional. Might not be a bad idea to just have a brief meeting before the races and instruct everyone especially new guys, what the expected racers etiquette is. Many just plain don't know. That may solve a lot of the problems right there.

Lets just get it out in the open. If anyone even questions any car if its legal just ask Dustin to check their car.

And if anyone wants to check my car feel free at any time.

I probably wont be their this weekend due to work.

Yes this is the best way to do it... Also on a side note say something on race night about it... posting it on the internet gives the possible cheater a chance to change there setup before next week....

Gearing and clutch setup is everything in spec classes, as far as torque and speed. Mine are pretty good I've been asked if mine had 17.5's in them. I let my son drive my vehicles they roll pretty good, but when I drive em they are a lot slower, maybe it's the 75 lbs. weight difference between me and him. LOL

This is Sean for anyone who doesn't already know. I can only assume I am the person being referenced in the multiple class posting earlier. I won't ever pretend that I like to marshall, but I do so when it is my turn and I am on the track on time when it is my turn to race. I run multiple classes because I get bored and want to get as much track time as I can in the time we have each week. I did take a break for a while, but have been racing these little buggers for a very long time at a lot of different venues. I have never heard of a class limit as long as you were ready to run and paid your fees.

Sorry to break in here. But we are looking for a little info and hoping to get help locally.

We keep having diff issues with our losi. We think we are ok with the buggy. But with a heavier and more powerful a truck we are again having issues.

In order not to get the ball diff not to bark or chirp. We tightened the bolt. What happened after about 30 laps is the same thing that was happening with our buggy.
The diff crush washers break and then the bolt loosens up.

Any thoughts?

Thx Jeff

Jeff, for what it is worth, I am running the losi ball diffs in several different vehicles and haven't had any issues with them. If you would like to tear into yours down at the track sometime, I would be more than happy to see what we are doing different and perhaps help you get it working properly.

I don't know Sean, you are out there every time accept when I have offered to marshal for you as I have for others from time to time....Even saw you miss classes when you have broke through out the evening. I can vouch for that.

Jeff- be sure that diff is installed in the correct direction of rotation, the diff screw should be on the opposite side of the motor plate, I've done it before and had a diff back off, also Losi (22 style) diffs like to be run pretty tight as in only backed off maybe an 1/8 turn

Every one has their own likes but personally I'm liking gear diffs more and more, they aren't as quick and easy to adjust but they are for the most part ( in my opinion) more consistent. I run 5k in my buggy and 7k in my truck.
