just wanted to check in with everyone. My summer has been going pretty well. I am in the process of getting a car and finding a job. Racing has been pushed back to fall. I need to get ready for college and find a job. Come fall i will be back on the drivers stand. Keep running those trf801x and trf801xt's

Thanks for tuning in Fellow team members as well as Tamiya fans!

Sorry about the delayed response as well as team Tamiya driver blog and forum updates. My original intension was to race in the crcrc race back in January. My engine blew up so I was unable to make that race. I did go to assist Tamiya driver Ryan Lutz at that event. After that my intention was to get a new engine and return to local racing. I did get my new engine but then because this year I am graduating out of high school, I am busy keeping my grades up, prom,   as well as accepting a college to go to, getting a car and what not. This is my last week of school and

 that should be a worry off of my back. I am currently looking for a job so I can get money for a car. I will be able to devote some funds towards my R/C career. 

I would like to race at a local track to hone my skills during the summer and make it to the outdoor Ohio state fair race in August and then get back to twice a month racing in the fall. In the fall I will be able to race 100% more than now because I will have funds from a job and I will have a car to go. I will stay active on the forums and my blog. 

i will be helping Ryan Lutz this weekend at the anual CRCRC race. I will be providing updates at the end of everyday on this event please check back for the updates!!!!!

 First of all I would like to thank Fred Medel for the chance to be part of the amazing teamtrf racing team.Overall i think that the 2009 racing year for me was great. I raced and got faster on the track and i got 1st place one weekend a feet wich has not been acomplished with my jammin x2 truggy. Overall you get more support with Tamiya products and everyone on the team is friendly. The 801xt is an amazing truck with awesome handling and execllant stearing. my main focus for 2010 is to get a new engine beacuse my old grp blew up and get back racing. I will be at the crcrc midwest race to help ryan lutz and get all the tips from the master check back on my blog to get daily updates from Ryan Lutz and how the event prgogress.

i will be at the crcrc halloween race this friday. I will be running my tamiya 801xt truggy at the event lets see if i can get a plaque at this race. Check back this weekend for the race results. HAPPY TAMIYAING :D

-Qalifiying went horable bad glow plug one round, next round bad engine tuneing, third round it went good but i made alot of crashes and got 11 laps way off the pace of the 16 lap TQ i was not able to practice beacuse of enigne tuneing problems. 
Main was doing decent but 22 laps into the race my shock shaeft came out of the shok hendering any chance of me winning the race. oh well it happens. overall it was a fun event ( i  know to use locktite now)

well i went racing last friday. sorry i am so late in getting this race report out but i have been sick .

Round one of quals- racing went good engine was so wrich i was only making about 20% of the power this engine was going to produce. there was no time to tune the engine better so i ran it. I got 2nd place not to bad for being rich.

Round two of quals. engine was way leaner but engine was still only producing about 75% of the power that it could have. I was able to take 1st place.

Round three of quals- engine was still making 75% power but got 1st place in the qual and won overall tq for the evening.

A-MAIN TRUGGY- I started out of the gate in 1st place and was able to win in first place. My engine died ont he last lap but i was still able to keep first place and won by over 1 lap.

My 801xt worked flawlessly the entire weekend. Had no borken parts. I was using ryan lutz's setup and it was perfect. This friday i will be at the crcrc holloween race. Let's see if i can brong home a plaque for team tamiya. HAPPY TAMIYAING :D
 
Thanks too all my sponsors for the support!

I just got my 801xt truggy and all i can say is wow! it's the best truggy for the money. The quality and value is far greater than anything else out there. The Tamiya TRF shocks are so smooth it is unreal. The brilliant blue shock towers and outher parts found on the car are so good looking. And the body is the best body made for a truggy is just looks mean! And let's just say this truck can steer! also the brake feature is very easy to use and very innoviative i think some companies will coppy this from Tamiya.Also having the stright drive line path makes the car really free and actually makes your car faster! I am confident i can put the Tamiya 801xt truggy in the winners circle very soon! I am starting racing at the end of setember.

HERE ARE SOME 801xt truggy tips!

- score the driveshaft pins so they dont back out.

- red locktite the shock shaft piston screw so it dosent back out.

-blue locktite the bottem blue shock coller so it dosent back out.

-boil the arms and wing out so it will have some flex and will lessen the chance of breakage.

- you can also put some tire foam under the shock shaft bladder so the shock stays consistant in long mains.

hope these tips help. Good luck racing!!!

TAMIYA~TRF~UPGRADE-RC~RCID~ANSWERRCUSA~FASTLANE GRAFFIX~TEAM TERRIBLES

Hello and welcome to my blog. Throughout this year and my following years as a Tamiya R/C driver I will be updating my Blog on setups and things that can make the car better. Lately money has been a little tight for me since i am still a student in high school. But things are looking up and I am getting my Tamiya car within a few weeks! I am so excited because I know that the Tamiya's quality and performance as well as reliability is better than the competition can provide. All of the great Tamiya Team drivers are hard at work making sure the cars have the proper-setups as well as new hop-ups to make the cars even faster than they already are. I am confident with all of the Tamiya team Drivers as well and Tamiya's costumers can make sure that we take Tamiya to the top and beyond. I never seen a company more dedicated and have the nicest team drivers of any company. I look forward to working with the entire Tamiya team to make sure we have great finishes at all of the races.

Be sure to follow my blog as I will be going to a lot of local club races at my home track CRCRC as well as other races in Ohio. I am confident in making all of the Tamiya's products better as well as making our setups better.

Good luck racing!
