Ok cool and do race radios have to have preset channels or they can go thru all of them ?

 

Depends on the radio I believe, I have one that is Pre-set.

 

we use strictly race or HAM radios on the commercial frequencies between 151.625 and 153.380...

if you pick up an Icom V8000 in time, you will want to remove D13 from the circuitboard so that you can transmit as well as receive...

there are a number of so-cal TW members who are working pits on tomorrow's race and they have radios, so just team up with them...

given there will be a lot of teams out there, i am working to keep the support crews planted at pits and not hot chasing...

too sketch to try and keep track of everyone out there in the dark...

 

Glassworks all the way around.

 

if you get a pre-set radio, they give you all of the standard race channels like Weatherman, Yokohama, BFG, MORE, and a string of the Baja ones too...

if you get a HAM like the V8000, you can plug any frequency within the 2M range that you want... there are even frequencies that tap into certain police scanning frequencies so you can listen in on their transmissions...

plus, with a HAM, you can program your own private channels that others can't really stumble upon unless you give them the PL codes...

 

My icom should be here the day after tomorrow. 1 day late.

Ok cool do I need anything besides a Orange vest to hangout at one of the pits with you guys ?

 

Those have been up for a couple weeks on race dezert. They do look cool

 

That's my buddy Carlos he keeps trying to sell them to me but I'm poor.

 

Ah, haven't been here in a while..been dumping my money into a couple guns lately..why do I have such expensive hobbies?!

Still haven't had a chance to try out my triples! I think our first trip out will be the end of october

 

Which company did you decide to go with for the new 7" bedsides? Also random question but what gears are in that tundy axle?

 

Just picked up a race radio, see you guys out at the race

 

Can someone give me a crash course on valving shocks. Mine are 25/75. No clue what that means

How to make faster/slower rebound and harder/softer compression. And are mine setup alright for a neutral to start tuning

 

I dont know why Fox gives the stupid numbers instead of thickness but here is a chart, I dont know if Fox labels the compression or rebound first but there is no 25 on this chart which means you are extremely light on valving. The higher the number the more resistance to movement. IE a higher number will make the shock compress and rebound slower

Are you sure its 25? 25 would be less than an 8 stack.

Compression is labeled first.

 

Ohhh shitt!! Hahaha. Pit with me and krish

 

Positive it's 25/75. What should I get it valved to for a neutral base then? I have the nagged pack. I wanna get kinda close

 

What pit are you guys going to be at ?

 

whenever the next race is....im going
