I did a little more research and both the VW golf GTI and R32 bodies are 94mm. Does anyone thinks these bodies should be allowed?

i will be at remnant this saturday doing some final practice/tweaking if anyone wishes to drop in. Gary usually opens up about 10-11am. there is ample pit space as well in the adjacent room.

keep in mind that this is the grey track so you may need to tweak tire choices so leave time for that before hand. there is a long back straight before large radius turn which is where 98% will be rolling over all day long.

Hurricane Sandy coming

I don't mean to be a buzzkill but there's probably a chance that this race might not happen November 3rd. We might want to think about reschedule date in case we can't race on the 3rd.

good idea to have an alternate in case the storm forces a reshuffle.

i'm in a bind myself. put my cooper down, drove about 20 feet and got a puff of white smoke

Nothing on the motor pod was touching the motor tabs was it? I did that years ago when I wasn't paying attention to how I had the motor mounted and one of the tabs where the wires solder to the brushes and it took reverse out. But your positive red wire on the board looks burnt. Huh

Nope, everything open and clear. The wire probably burnt when the fets fried. I have plenty of fets, I just need someone with the skills to swap them out.

Is that two boards now that you have burned up at Gary's? I don't know of any of the Remnants crew burning one up yet. Did you get in touch with Brandon?

i sent brandon an email, haven't called him yet.

not sure what happened with the other board, it just stopped working all together. this one fried the fets. the other chassis stripped the 4th servo gear. i can't explain it but i've had a string of bad luck at remnants track. it's just random chance i guess.

We run so much that I know that a lot of them have broke the front nose of their chassis and Saint did one of my cars when he was driving it. We have now found out from Maj that they are filling the front area where the stock springs go with JB Weld to stop them from cracking the chassis.

i've only broken on like that but we don't race nearly as often as you guys. i can easily see how that happens racing 2-3 days a week. all those knocks and bumps add up over time.
