Title: Re: Mini-Z Race, 1-21-10, Sandy Post by: Russ on January 18, 2010, 11:30:05 AM I made up a list of things to check. Some are already mentioned but here it is.
:) Check your batteries. You will need at least 3 sets, make sure they are charged and good to go!! Check your transmitter batteries also. :) Check your tires. Are they secure? Retape them if necessary. :) Check your suspension for binding. Are the motor wires hitting the body? King pins free? Disc damper good? T-Plate screws tight? :) Check your wheelnuts, but do not overtighten. :) Check your bearings. Are they clean and spinning freely? :) Check your diff. Is it clean and smooth? Not binding? :) Check your screws!! Especially metal-to-metal contacts, and motor mounts. :) Check your motor. Check that the wires are securely attached to the board and soldered to the motor. :) Check your gears. Are they in good condition, meshed correctly, and appropriate for the track layout? :) Check your frequency. Are you on your assigned channel? Tx/Rx match? :) Check your transponder. Did you put it in the car? :) Check your attitude and sportsmanship. Its supposed to be fun!! :D Please also check the post on Pointers on Racer etiquette, and just things to know (http://www.saltlakemini-z.com/forum/index.php?topic=176.0) Title: Re: Mini-Z Race, 1-21-10, Sandy Post by: RonNation on January 21, 2010, 12:17:52 AM ill be there
Title: Re: Mini-Z Race, 1-21-10, Sandy Post by: briankstan on January 21, 2010, 12:40:59 PM I hope everyone is ready for tonight. I received the trophies yesterday and I'm ready to go. I should be at the warehouse around 5:30 to start setting up the track, come buy if you can to help. We will be running a very large track tonight. It's bound to be lots of fun.

Title: Re: Mini-Z Race, 1-21-10, Sandy Post by: briankstan on January 22, 2010, 07:27:32 AM Race Report:
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that showed up to race last night. We had a good turn out with 6 drivers in Formula 1 and 11 in Sedan Racer. We did pretty good about keeping on scheduled and it was a really fun night of racing. I forgot my camera so when the pictures that were taken are available I’ll get them posted here. Track was a great layout with a really nice flow. It was about 18’ x 30’ or so. We had to change the layout because the track I wanted to use wouldn’t fit in our space let alone leave enough space to pit and for drivers to stand. We have a few issues with broken Parts, Bodies, etc. it’s really to be expected in these long races, I know Russ broke the front wing on his F1, I broke my Rear wing on my F1, I also broke the nose on my 350Z, well I actually just broke it again, CA doesn’t make a permanent Fix on the nose of a body . All in all is was a fairly clean night with lots of good action. Here is a quick Break down of the results. I’ll post up the Full Race reports later today. Lap counts for the hour were just under 280 laps in F1 and Just under 206 for Racer (Funny how 5 additional cars makes a big difference). Formula 1 1st. Brian - Fast Lap 10.64 2nd. Chad 3rd. Luke Racer Sedan 1st. Brian - Fast Lap 10.59 2nd. Chad 3rd. Andy Title: Re: Mini-Z Race, 1-21-10, Sandy Post by: briankstan on January 22, 2010, 04:52:07 PM Race Results for the Endurance Races:
