I have some tricks in store for you guys. I wish you the best grasshoppa.

is that the closest track to the san diego area?

Gwarmageddon

must be the new bearing k3 motor and a kelton 10DS chassis??? i've been watching over you:eek: I know that you set TQ with 16 laps, and won your main with 17. hook me up with one of your new motors, a couple of practice sessions at socal, and watch out!:D

i'm not sure if its the closest to san diego, but lamar drives to socal from san diego alot.

Intelligentsia

Hey Daniel,

You are wrong about the motor, you are wrong about the chassis and you are also wrong about that TQ :p. Where are you obtaining this "intelligence?"

BTW, SoCal is the closest permanent onroad track to San Diego.

Gwarmageddon
12-14-2003, 06:19 PM
i was guessing on the motor/chassis combo. and i pulled some info on you from socal's race results site. i think those time were from november. what are your tricks that are up your sleeves? you got that little BRP of yours hooked up at socal? a two wheel drive pan car with the right motor and suspension setup would be wicked.:)

since SoCal is a little too far for me to go every weekend, i was wondering if there were any micro racers in san diego that are down to race in san diego periodically just for fun?

Intelligentsia

SoCal is not every weekend. Our SoCal races are on the first and third Saturday of every month.

It took many months of planning to develop the amount of micro racers that we have on a continual basis.

Good luck rounding up racers in the San Diego area.

yah yah yah

you talk about your secrets and how others need 7 cells to win... and then you say lets just have fun.... lol you make me laugh

but the rematch between Myself, RS and GW is a true rematch

we really didnt get a chance to face each other balls out due to mother nature at KDR... this is our rematch to see who is who...

and its still gonna be fun... dont get me wrong...

Intelligentsia

I don't have any secrets. If you knew me (which you don't) you would know that I was messing around.

What do you mean true rematch? As opposed to a false rematch right?

woah woah... chill intell getting kinda edgy lately huh....lol

finals over with yet?

a false rematch is a rematch that is rigged... i guess

i meant it wasnt like a movie rematch where the bad guy challenges the good guy to duel after duel cuz he is evil like that

its a rematch in the sense of a re-race... there is that better? :p

Hey anyone have any tips to keep my wheels from moving in on the hubs in the middle of the race. With the HPI setup my wheels keep sliding all the way on (even though the grooves dont go all the way back). This was causing a lot of my traction roll and i definetly need to fix it. Any tips?

Gwarmageddon
12-16-2003, 05:59 PM
cut up some zip-ties and place them inside between the hub and the wheel. works sweet:)

Gwarmageddon

flooded in your house man? that sucks. is anything ruined, hope not:(

your going homie:D Blind is going to take his dads blazer, has four seats in it so we are all going to go down there!:) Call my dad and find out more details and set up a place to meet up. i know i'm going to pick up my dad in the morning, maybe you could drive down to my house and park your truck there, and blind could pick all of us at my place.

It's a sweet little trick. I use strips of lexan cut to exact widths (per Motek's instruction), but the zip ties are close enough and much easier.

Hey Intell... how's that house-flooding thing working out?

And was your girl mad at you for coming out to SoCal last night?

Gwarmageddon
12-18-2003, 05:40 PM
yeah, brandon like to take his car apart atleast two times on racedays. yo B, if your car works good the day before the race, dont take it apart first thing when you get to the track dude! you might start finishing races that way:p
