WHAT? Happened in rec.models.rc.land ?
What the hell? Just a few years back there was dozens of posts daily!
With the advent of many new vehicles on the market one would assume that this newsgroup would thrive? Are newsgroups dead? Are the message boards killing the usenet? The area i live in now,no ISP's offer any nntp newsgroup support. Wow! anyone know the hot dicussion groups on RC theses days? Let me and this once was newsgroup in on it! OH! and here is a plug on my page! It has my own personal favorite R/C vehicles on it(In the the big R/C pic just click on the vehicle you want to see pics and read about it and see more pics)Hell maybe you will learn something. Check out the rail i beleive it to be the fastest R/C in the northwest. My personal best speed was 114 mph yes 114 mph(i have video confirmation and am currently in correspondence with Guiness about the feat) read the story and how i acheived and record my speeds (To see dragster page just click my rail in the big R/C photo) there is also my email and other personal interests.(have fun!) http://www.geocities.com/proob4/bobspage.html So come on group! Lets ROCK this group! ATOM(the superhero) |

This is where my speedtrap is setup. I have not marked off a scale 1/4 yet. To be honest i dont know if it would do good considering the tall gear ratio.It is geared really for top end speed.If you read the webpage about my dragster it explains my gearing choice. I do beleive the fact that porting a TRX.15 drastically increases its capabilities.(for porting goto)http://www.nitrorc.com/mods/engines/trx15mod.html beleive me i went through many TRX.15 blocks There are so many so cheap to buy.But instead of using the dremmel tool i used a small drill press and a milling vice. Once again to see the story on my drasters gearing click directly on the draster in the big rc photo on my webpage. Below is the link. |

PROVE it. No BS! Obviously you are ignorant to gearing ratio's and simple math.And probably did not read my gearing ratio and setup along with tire diameter and rpm range.The dragster in this link are setup for scale 1/4 mile and they are up to 77+ mph and thats 132 feet.I am close to 200 feet before i even hit 100 mph. http://www.nrcda.com/Track%20Records.htm |

>From: proob4@yahoo.com (The_Atomic_punk) > No BS! Then you should be able to prove it. You said you were in Correspondence with the Guiness Book of Records. (LMFAO) Do you think THEY are going to take your WORD on it? THEY are famous for saying.... "BullShit, Prove It" >Obviously you are ignorant to gearing ratio's and simple >math. I didn't realize I had to posess MATH skills to watch your video. (You DO have a video don't you?) >And probably did not read my gearing ratio and setup along with >tire diameter and rpm range. AAAHHhhh, Now I get it. You sat down with your calculater, and crunched a bunch of numbers, using your gear ratio, tire diameter, and the "advertised" rpm claims on your engine. Well sir... you can crunch numbers all day long and your CALCULATOR will NOT make that RC car go 114 mph. NOR by the way, will that cheezy Traxxas engine that is over two years outdated. The new TRX 2.5 has almost twice the HP of your TRX Pro. (I wouldn't beleive you acheived 114mph with one of those either.) But hey bud, What I think is really unimportant. You said you did it. You said you have proof. You said you contacted the Guiness people. All I'm asking for... is the same thing the Guiness people will be asking for.... PROOF. So post a BELEIVABLE video, (with an unbiased onlooker) or shut up. Trust me, the Guiness people will have much stricter criteria for proving your claims. Videos can be fixed to show anything you want. Heck, I don't live far, call me in as a witness. IF you acheive 114mph with that dragster (as pictured)......... I will humbly apologize, and post the results here myself. Additionally, I will VIDEO the event DIGITALLY, and make the video available to any who may be interested. >The dragster in this link are setup for >scale 1/4 mile and they are up to 77+ mph and thats 132 feet.I am >close to 200 feet before i even hit 100 mph. Yes I saw that. I have been to many an RC Drag event. Let me tell you, at 132 feet, those little engines (way more powerful than yours) are at their virtual peak. YOU are claiming that yours got an extra 37 mph over them. I ask again....... Proove it. |
