@iamahuman: In the previous post anwar sir had deleted it, so the request 

@rajath: This is probably a very bad video, wait till i hit the track tomorrow. Will take my cam along and i'll take a proper video that time. This was taken on a iphone and the accelerometer screwed us up bad. So many videos i've taken have come upside down and i dont know how to fix it 

Finally, i bring some good news the truck is very much with me, no its not been sold. I found a buyer, the deal was almost done and in the last moment i realised i'll miss it a lot if i sell it. Explained my situation, and the buyer was very understanding. Thanks bimal

As for the truck, its been sitting idle for LONG now! I hope to hit the track sometime next week and fire her up. Is anyone free to join me ?


PS: I bought a new car 20 days back. Car confusion + exams all kept me away from RC'ing. Hope to comeback with a vengeance  

Al the best Shashank ..
cheers

Hey, Divyam, Rajat and I are planning to meet sometime in March. Our exams should be finished by then. Will that be okay with you? Anywhere between March 3( after 1 PM) and 15 and I'm totally free. After that, if I know a day before, I can make it to the track. Cool? So, we'll have you, Divyam, Rajat and me with off- roaders. I know a guy with a TT01 and he said he'll meet us too. It should be fun...

March should be ok with me. Any possibility of meeting early ?

I can't make it anytime in Feb. Same with Divyam because our exams are ending on the 3rd of March. PM Rajat and see if he can come...

Good to hear that
Even i was pretty close to selling my XXT and buying a mini brushless RC but did not have the heart to go ahead with it.
I can make it on Saturday

Rajath can you make it on sunday ? Saturday i've classes and if i've to come i'll get pretty late.

PM sent

How does March 4th sound? It's a Sunday
But my car's not currently in a running condition. Have to replace a bunch of broken stuff   Or run it in 2WD

I'm good on the 4th.

Ask Jayanth if he has the spares. If not, 2wd it is!

Rajath and me are meeting on the 26th at 9. I can make it on the 4th too, 3rd wouldn't be possible.

I'll be there on the 4th.

May be a good idea for one of us to call and check if the track is free/open for use this sunday. If nobody is calling please PM respective phone number and il give them a call

the track is still open .. u can just go .. but if u want a slightly prepared and cleaned track give them a call a day before u go .

Hey Guys,

Heard that the Pitstop was closed ? Could you please give me Suresh's number, was planning to go this weekend.


Preetham

It's not closed. It's in pretty bad shape. A video of how it was two weeks ago...

thanks a lot dude, have been wanting to take my revo there - wasnt really sure.
jayanth had once mentioned that they were planning to come up with a new track........ any news on that ?

It's still a plan as far as I know. I haven't spoken to him in a long time.

Guys, got some time over the weekend to fine tune my revo, now its running good, shifts to second easily and feels really fast.
Braking and heating is still a concern.
Need to get some experts review on it, not able to reach Jayanth (not responding). Was also planning for few upgrades, mainly vented discs and bumpers.

Any help with Revo I could get here in bangalore other than throttle rc guys ?

@preeth.. for brakes adjust your linkages first before buying the vented discs .. in these cars vented discs hardly makes much difference ... and as for heating problem do check if you are lean on any needles hsn or lsn or maybe the needles are not balanced meaning too rich bottom and lean top or the otherwise ... and also check for smoke through out the throttle range .. if u have smoke means yer good // too much is bad tho..

For braking, do as pravesh mentioned. It should hopefully fix it. About the tuning part, what was the temp you recorded after a few laps ?

My car also has the heating problem. It reaches 280-290 after a few laps, i see a smoke trail, it idles fine a bit sluggish though. Wonder if its the HSN that needs tuning or the LSN. Any help guys ?

if you are seeing smoke and its still high temp .. Check your idle gap .. it may be too open and lsn too rich to compensate for steady idle and hsn may be lean to get the performance .. start by reducing idle gap.. then tune lsn to idle well with a less than 1mm idle gap. And tune hsn .. but before all this set your needles to factory settings. That engine should run 220-250 good performance . if all this doesnt fix its tune then its the bearings or leakage, wrong plug etcetc

thanks a ton for the tips, let me try them out. I do see smoke through out and the revs are good too (non sluggish). need to record temp..

next time any of u guys are visiting Pitstop, please let me know. Will join u.

Apparently, Jayanth was busy and was travelling. I just had a word with him today and everything seems fine.
