Thanks Matt! Just about anytime (probably on the other side of the holidays, but it's up to you) between now and the Race. I've got no traveling plans before the Race, so I can be home to wait for them. If possible, please shoot me a note to let me know when it's on it's way.

Thanks Again!

I got a stupid question well I am having one of those days anyway sooooo If I ship my engines to you with a return prepaid label inside will that work? Or is shipping hi'er there than here (told you up front S day) Laughing

Eric says THANKS

Kim Tue Dec 23, 2014 11:35 am

I'd think that it would be the same both ways, but if it is a bit more getting it back to you, that's no problem...I'll cover it and get back to you if it's worth messing with.

cryo-one Tue Dec 23, 2014 1:28 pm

We'll be using Bernie's new 4x2.5 racing Props for both Pee Wee and .020 Unlimited.

I was going to enter unlimited but I've been down with pneumonia for 3 weeks and haven't had the energy to work on my project. Do I still have time? Anyway I hope everyone is having a wonderful cox filled Christmas today!!!! Christmas Tree

Kim Thu Dec 25, 2014 8:42 am

Man, sorry to hear you got hit like that! The Race is scheduled for the 24th of January, so I'd think you ought to have plenty of time to box-up that sucker.

Hope you're well on the mend...only had one brush with pneumonia a decade or so ago, and it shut me down for a long time.

Merry Christmas !!!

getback Thu Dec 25, 2014 11:06 am

Get Well Soon Bandit Christmas Tree

Well I ran a couple Babe Bees yesterday and came to find my tach has took a dump so the one on the right sounds a little better Very Happy

Check your tach against a incandescent bulb and it should read a solid 3600

getback Thu Dec 25, 2014 12:07 pm

Just checked it 3.7 then went black I think my batteries have gone dead i'll get apart in a few , Thanks Ken , I had forgotten that you could ck. it like that . Eric

I'm not completely over it but thankfully I'm feeling better now thank you Smile

And about the race I'm not sure I'll make the dead line I still have to order a few more parts which I've neglected to do due to me being down and out Sad

it's gonna depend on how fast the parts get here and if I have time to get a good break-in and some test n tuning done "crosses fingers" (Bandit)

TDbandit Sat Dec 27, 2014 8:43 pm

Sign me up for unlimited. It will be close but I think I can make it. Smile

Well, I've finally got my Mouse entry assembled, utilizing the wealth of knowledge and handy hints out there. Not much else I can do without spending money.
Haven't had a chance to test & tach it yet. I'm sure it will need a few cycles to get the new cylinder broken in, but hopefully Kim can count me as a starter, assuming the postal service co-operates & I can make it over there on time. I may include a Stock for the heck of it. Looks like testing will have to be New Year's Day. Won't that excite the neighbours? Beer Cheers

Sounds like an excellent way to celebrate New Years to me !

Kim Sun Dec 28, 2014 5:49 am

Thanks Guys!

So far, I'm tallying
13 Contestants with:
11 Unlimited,
6 Mouse (including 2 'maybes'),
5 Tee Dees,
4 Babe Bees,
Only 1 .020 Unlimited so far,
3 Pee Wees.

Gonna recheck my numbers after some more coffee, but I think this is correct.

We've also got Matt and Bernie's support engines, whose categories will be announced, and they are once again generously supporting Tach Race with Donated Prizes.

Haven't from some of our other regular Heavy-hitters like Jason and Doug, but figure they'll be checking in at some point.

That's where we are at the moment.

crankbndr Sun Dec 28, 2014 7:36 am

Hi Kim. If you mean me, cranky Doug( I think theres more than one Doug) I'm on page 4
