Another Wonderful Saturday Practice

Well kids it was a great day of practicing. When I got there at 10:00 A.M. Buck was there loading the soda machine and snack machine. After a quick hows it going, I got some batteries charging. And started to clean up my pit area and get everything ready for making some changes to the car. First thing I did was change my spur gear and pinion. I had a 48 pitch spur and pinion. I switched it to a 64 pitch spur and pinion. I put a 104 tooth spur and a 32 tooth. This gave me a final drive ratio of 5.5 which made my car seem slower than when I had the old spur and pinion on. So after pulling out my bible (3 ring binder full of copies of all my manuals for all my cars). I had to try to figure out a new final drive ratio. After doing the math it seems that I needed to change my pinion to a 38 tooth. This gave me a final drive ratio of 4.6 which mad my car heck fast. Chris Conrad showed up at the track and he told me he was selling all his RC stuff so he can go back to school. I ended up buying his GTB speed controller, 13.5 brush less motor, tweak station, and his personal transponder. All I have to say is if anyone is looking for a good deal on a TC5 look him up he is getting rid of all his stuff real cheap. Ok onto other things the wonderful Chad Due showed up to the track and was practicing with his TC5. If you don't know who Chad is he is a local racer that is sponsored by Associated, LRP, and more I don't know all of them. He took a look at my car and was surprised at how my car handled he said it was very easy to drive and all I need to do now is practice. He did make some changes to my radio. After the changes I had to get used to the car all over again. At the end of the day I had my car doing a consistent lap time of 16.2 to 16.8 with a couple of 15.8 laps in there too. Well I should be up there tomorrow for another round of practice. Then I need to take some time off because me and they wife are buying a pop camper and then I can get back to what i love to do and that is camping. But that's all for now I will try to keep everyone up to date on whats going on in my life. Bye for now
