whens the next time you practice?
i was just wondering because i bought an f1 on tuesday and am wanting to see them run. also was curious on what to buy for it hop up wise. i already got the bearings for it, also the traction control diff, but i cant seem to tell much of a difference over the stock diff. i was planning on buying the diff that TT has there(i got all my parts and car there). also better tires is on my to do list asap.
thanks, Brock

welcome to the boards. i'll add you to our group mailer so you'll be up on current events.
as for hop ups, it depends on how deep your wallet is
i would suggest the kyosho ball diff, xspeed and squat foam for first order of purchases. these are all you'll really need to be competitive off the bat at the track. and some good practice of course.
all the other stuff like ball bearings, center shock, wheelnuts, alloy rims can come later.
we race again on aug 9 which will be our final race of this second season. season III will start sometime after a short break.

great thanks. as for pocket depth, a mini z is way easier on the pockets than my 1/8th scale so..
thanks again, brock.

no problem. these items are also available at the hobby store
i assume you'll be racing with us on aug 9? versus being an observer that is. we need your f1 on the grid
and which F1 do you have?

yea i got a buggy, and 2 1/10th scale touring cars, sadly the mini z is the only one really running as of now though.
o well i look forward to this weekend though, the mini z has been a blast so far, but cutting donuts in my garage is getting old. that and i need to get some real tires for it.

cody. np. i'll have two sided tape for you this weekend
this weekend should be good. i plan to set up the track and practice a few this friday evening to prep for the final race.
looking forward to it to.
i've been busy this week so if i'm not answering any of you guy's AIM messages it's not because i'm being rude. sometimes i don't default the away message even when i'm not there.

ok, i went to TT's tonight to get some parts, and for tires all they had was front foams, like s221's i believe. heres my question, excuse my ignorance before hand, do you run them on all 4 corners, or were they just out of rear's? i dont think u run them at all 4 corners and so heres my question. if someone who is going to be there saturday has an extra pair of rear f1 foams, new or even slightly used, would you be interested in trading them for some fronts or even selling them to me? the older gentlemen at TT's said they weren't getting any more stuff before the weekend so i stand no chance of being able to buy them there. also, i gather you tape them on , but can you glue them like normal r/c tires? sorry for the silly questions.
