ok, at my school, my friends and I have been number 1 in xmod racing , and even though all our upgrades are all Ratshack upgrades, we where defeating the competion. (if any)

but now, this kid (who i'm workin on his xmod) challenged me and my friend to race him, he got the 350z, yellow motor,lights, and bearings.

Now from acouple of posts I read, I think i'm in for a beating,

the race is this monday and I don't want to ruin my reputation...

I need to bust out some major mods!!!!

so is it a drag race?
what are the rules?
i recomend racing without the body on if thats ok in the rules also if its really important to win take all the moving parts out wipe them off soak them in rubbing achohol for a little bit(like at most 45 minutes)then loightly lubrucate them with silcon lube dry lube the bearings open the end of the motor and spray som canned air into the motormake a light weght drive shaft(out of whatever pen shaft bbq skewer carbon fiber whatever as long as its light and will last a race or to but most of that stuff i havent broken
and im a rough driver sticky icky slicks for drag you know if your the best you should beable to adjust the setup to whatever kind of race

but what kind of race is it???that what really matters in setting up the car is the type of race

good luck and post the results

p.s. my skyline is working now it just randomly started working so yeah!!! im charging up the bats and i can tell its faster than before weird huh get alot of water on the electronics and a huge amount of smoke comes out and it smells burnt and wont even respond(as im pouring the water out&after it was dried too) and i get better stearing range and proportionalness(?) and its on about half charge and is going as fast as before when it was on ful charge (crazy!!!!)i love this car its fate were so good together oh man im so psyced

nice !!! hey what front bumper is that i want it wor my supra i havnt gotten the kit for the supra yet just for the skyline my supra is my drift rally beater body so its not as important as on my black skyline body because its more for show um so how fast would you say yours is now???mines fast but im making it faster

and i mean really i cant stand it any more what kind of race is it

p.s. post results im interested now im going crazy i havent met anyone to race with here in utah i need some action i was going to race this kid here on the forums but he never emails me so i gave up and we live like probably within like 5 miles of each other from what ive gathered from our converstionsbut whatever so cool how much more speed do you have now when on alkalines(more voltage)as you probably know 5 cels give the number of volts you would have if you usd 4 alkalines im going to buy some alkalinesfor mine when i find some one to race with but hopefully ill be on lithiums by then with fets CF drive shaft and bearings and then ill be done until i buy a really fast custom motor

loosen? you should tighten the motor mount a little!

cyrc · #11 08-02-2004, 02:14 PM

no i meant open up the motor from behind and spray the dust out of it not the mount the actual motor

kasper01001 · #12 08-02-2004, 04:41 PM
