[born420]

hey thats great im actually getting my engine between today and monday not sure but thats great join my facebook group local st.john's rc and yes there is a hobby shop here in town its alright but you are more then likely gonna have to order all the parts and wait up to like 2 months which is bull i ordered a pipe off her like 2 months ago it only got in klike 2 weeks ago and my truck has been broken since like 3weeks into my order, it still is in a few peices till the 3.3 arrives i also added you to msn oh hey there is another dude here in town i meeting him today he is on this site tooo lol rcmoncton is his addy maybe when my engine arrives we shall all bash togather

[Charger]

Hey, i live in east end st. john's. got a revo 3.3 in sept of 08. repost to this thread or PM me.

[RCNewfie]

I've just moved back from Moncton, NB and would like to gather info about the RC movement in the area. I am wondering if there a just few RCers in the area or if there are a lot and I just haven't found them yet? Are there any race tracks or RC clubs or groups that you know about? Are there any RC shops and if there are do you have details?

I think once the weather clears up, we'll have to go bashing if we can gather enough of us to make it a great day. Join the St. John's RC Facebook group mentined above if you are interested.

[born420]

im only firmiliar with signalhobbies on pearson st. and for the most part youd have to ask rcmoncton about the clubs and what not i dont think there is any tracks here either we just got the shop

[Charger]

yeah i'm pretty sure theres no tracks here. its even kinda hard to find a good place to bash.

[born420]

virginia park white hills
hey i think we also got some good drops down by the dfo (department of fisherys and oceans) lots of dirt jumps from bikers, mundy pond, up behind watson cresent there is a big flat gravel feild ill have pics when the snow melts and i gets my 3.3 im still waitin hopin today or tomorrow ill get that but i dont get money till wednesday and i am running low on fuel lol. any ways back to places to bash bowering park oh and like near the top of east white hills rd there is a rd that goes towards the dump welll there is a few soft sand piles there but not too soft just gotta wait for the snow to melt cant beleave this though 2days of snow and we were in the clear lmao

[RCNewfie]

Hi Friends,

We have soft launched a new website for us. We are still waiting on the servers to be delivered to the farm but for now it has a temporoary home. Take a look and become a member.

http://www.rcnewfoundland.com

P.S. There are a few other items in the works to help bring R/C main stream in Newfoundland.

Thanks,
RCNewfoundland.com

[born420]

hey set it up so all members can post and add sjrcf.com to it too thats all the rc flyers here in town

[RCNewfie]

I will be contacting them for sure. Thanks for the info.

As for the forum, the site is a work in progress so I'm getting a Newfoundland section created here and gonna direct to here for now.

[born420]

best kind hope every thing works
out

[Charger]

sweet! a RC website for Newfoundlanders!

i'm posting because i have a problem with my revo 3.3. i used it in jan 09 once, cleaned it up, and put it away, when i took it out it was a little hard to get started, but it started, it stayed going for about 10 secs then stalled. it didn't just shut off, it stalled. when i tried starting it again, it would start, stay going for 3-4 secs, then stall again. when it starts it wants to run away from me, but it dies shortly after. i thought it was the clutch spring because it was trying to run away from me. but i checked that and its not.

it seems that the fuel isn't getting to the carb properly unless i hold my finger over the pipe. (which isn't good). someone said the carb might be cloged, so i took the carb apart. and cleaned it even though it didn't seem dirty or cloged.

i am going to try it today, but i don't think its going to be any different. any ideas?

[born420]

check your high speed needle sound like you tighended it too much there bud try richening it up then try to start it up but before you do that blow into the exaust line and see if its tight

[Charger]

well, after trying it (after cleaning the carb) it worked. so i guess there was something in the carb lol. probably should have tried it before i posted but it i really didn't expect that to work.

i had the needles on stock settings.

[born420]

ohhh well best of luck hey when i gets my idler gear next week go for a bash?

[Charger]

yeah man, i'll go for a bash.
another thing. Think you can go on google map, take some screenshots of the bash areas your taking about and post the screenshots.

[born420]

here they are im still waiting on an idler but thats nothing i can still post the shots

thats the three i remember but there are more down by the pf collins one like bigg mounds of sand a baha would be ideal or something wit 4wd also i got a question for ya if we goes for a bash, would you be able to help me with the tuning she seems to shut out at high speeds i think its too lean but im not sure

[Charger]

yes man, i'll help ya with that. i'd say its either too lean or your gears are too tight.

[Charger]

Bannerman park seems to be mostly grass.
Bowering park seems to be mostly grass aswell. a few small trails.
pf collins seems to be good. but i went there before. its a construction site, can't really go there i dont think. across the road from the building theres a very small spot thats loose sand. it was ok there, but its super small.

whats the name of the facebook group for st. john's rc, i can't find it anywhere.

[born420]

sorry i forgot to say there was a little pit accross the street and up that hill across the street theres a great big open pit mostly flat due to blasting and mining up there too

[born420]

i used to go up there as a kid and throw rocks haha but the only way to be up there safely is to wait till they close they close at 5

[Charger]

Hey, i met up with a few other RCers in St. John's! It seems their planning to make a track in CBS. anyone interested in putting any time and/or money into this? Post back to let us know.

[SavageX23]

Great to know there is a commuinity for RC enthusiasts here in St. Johns, I'm glad I found a Canadian RC site and even better a Newfoundland section. If only the cold weather would end!

[Carl Layden]

hmmm should I start by saying hi to the townies or baymen? Just kidding. :-D

I had a look at your site http://rcnewfoundland.com/ are you strickly R/C cars & trucks or aviation too?

There are a couple of R/C aircraft clubs in St.John's and there are 'pockets' of guys running trucks & boats, not sure if there are any clubs for those groups.

If you are interested in flying or learning how I'd suggest joining a club as it'll give you access to a flying site(s) and training if you need it.

Carl

[eastcoast78]

hey Carl,how goes it...actually im thinking on Join'in SJRCF,i live in Mount Pearl ,work for PAL, I know Ben D is a member,but i hardly see him at work,ill have too talk to him the next time i see him.
I started with a Super Cub.for in that parks and stuff for the past 3-4 years,i also have a Blade CP hilo,but that's just a whole different aspect of flying (which i Just cant Grasp) lmao, but i just recently got a GP Cherokee ARF,for the Spring.i picked up a OS.46 AX,from the reviews it seems like a great Plane,lol Pardon the PUN :lol:,and im Planning on getting Radian RTF Sailplane from park Zone.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/eastcoast78/DSC03889.jpg

O while im here,i was wondering,whats the condition of the strip like out there at the flying field? who does the maintenance on it?,im planning too take a trip out there in the Spring too check it out.

[Nitro Newf]

Hey fellow Newfies. I live in Alberta, but am from southern NF. There is a small track in Heart's Delight. Check out their Youtube Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkl_2_9fnEQ
I run a hobby shop in Alberta and supply these guys with parts and other R/C Stuff. Someday I will return and, if there is enough demand, bring Terra Nova Hobby with me.
I would love to hear from anyone on the Island, I miss it. I envy anyone lucky enough to still be there.
Jamie
sales@terranovahobby.ca

[Nitro Newf]

Hey, Did I scare everyone away. There were some conversations here and then everyone disappeared. Again if there is anything you guys need, I can ship to NF fast. I have a few customers there.
Someone was talking of a new hobby shop there, did it ever happen. I know Signal Hobbies are there, did they ever expand. That is a lot of stairs to climb to get to that shop. LOL

[Gixxer]

Just wanted to say Hi. Been a while since the last post. Nice to see a few people from around NL.

[eastcoast78]

yea theres a few of us here lol,is your hobby of Choice?

[Nitro Newf]

Hey fellow Newfies. I have a new website that will soon be up and running. I plan to put a NL section in my forum. My brother may be moving back to St. John's to work and he will be looking to start up an rc club. He is into the rock crawling and he has a 1/8 Nitro buggy. He has access to lots of parts and supplies because I am still stuck up here in Alberta and I own Terra Nova Hobby.

Check out www.terranovahobby.ca (http://www.terranovahobby.ca)

[Gixxer]

yea theres a few of us here lol,is your hobby of Choice?

I have a nitro truck. Really basic one to see how I liked it. Had it for a few years now, picking at it off and on.

[eastcoast78]

They don't want nitro there because they know you will kick their a*s and make them look slow. They will all have to get nitros and then you will see them tear the Sh*t out of everything.
Thanks for checking out the TERRA NOVA HOBBY website. It was actually 2 of my team racers from Quebec who built the website. I am impressed with it myself. :D
There is a forum on there if anyone wants to start some conversation.
If you guys can get enough R/C's going down there, I will come home and you will have an awsome hobby shop in the province. My brother may be moving back there to live in St.John's and he will have his 2 Nitros.

[Gixxer]

Has there been any more development on this site?
I joined, but not much happening, be nice to see the forum part developed. Bring more of the people that are into this together. Seems like there are lots in Nfld. but are all scattered and not many know each other.

I have a few buddies as well that have them as well.

Who looks after the RCNewfoundland site? I would like to look at advertising there and support the site. I may be back there some day and would like to have a lot of people involved in R/C.

[Gixxer]

I don't know if you can use the contact on the rc site? looks the guy hasn't logged in in since 2009.

I think that here are a lot out there into it now, but no one place to get everyone together. I know there are some on here, and I know of a few others, and people that know people.

Nice to see that site developed more and word get out.

I'm only new at it myself, and just got a Revo 3.3 for christmas, can't wait to break it out.

[eastcoast78]

Hey guys yea not much on the scene around here.I was htinking about that site her aswell.What St Johns Needs is a New Bigger Hobby SHop with
2 tracks. Electic indoor and a Nitro Outdoor.
Have races pay 5-10 bucks top 3 wins ,the opportunity is here...for it.
Yes theres a Crap laod of guys inot it here,liek oyu said .no one knows anyone.lol
I Maidened my New GLider(Radian Pro) Yesterday up on the Scoccer pitch behind borwening park yesterday

A bigger hobby shop would be nice. I think that the missus at signal hobbies only is at it part time, and doesn't know a whole lot, when you go there, basically know what you want and bring part numbers.....lol

A bigger hobby shop might be able to organize something a little better.

[Carl Layden]

....signal hobbies only is at it part time, and doesn't know a whole lot....

You are entitled to your opinion, the hours they operate are clearly advertised, "doesn't know a whole lot"...you're wrong.

[Gixxer]

You are entitled to your opinion, the hours they operate are clearly advertised, "doesn't know a whole lot"...you're wrong.

Probably came out a little different than I intended.....lol

Just the couple of times I was there and needed something, I just had to do my research in what I was looking for. Maybe I was looking for something out of the norm.

Don't get me wrong, great service.

[Nitro Newf]

Hi, I have mentioned before that my brother may be moving back home. It is definite now. He should be there by spring, just in time for R/C season. Who does he get in touch with for a club or group to run with? He is also into the Rock Crawlers.

[eastcoast78]

Hey Nitro Newfie. As for a Club,there are none. The RC truck/buggy community is plentiful from what i gather. Every time i'm at the LHS there's someone buying something RC Truck related. Ive talked to a few,it just seems there are small pockets of a few buddy's out bashing...

Shocking!!! I only had my Revo running once last summer. We did have a track out in the EastEnd of the City,that was a few years ago now. Not sure if its still used. It was hard to maintain..Surface consisted of Crushed rocks/gravel. A few laps and there's stones flying everywhere lol

The are 2 RC Clubs in St Johns. SJRCF and Club 4752 Aeromodellers Inc.
From what i gather; a few members of each club have RC Trucks etc...

[Gixxer]

Yeah seems to be lots of little groups. I have a couple of buddies that have trucks. I know there are a couple of facebook groups. As well as RCNewfoundland.com but doesn't seem to be much happening with that.

[Nitro Newf]

We will try to get more people together in the spring.

Guys, don't be so hard on Signal Hobbies. I know how hard it is to have everything and be open all the time. If the demand is not there, they can't afford to be open all the time. They can't stock everything, it is a lot of money tied up. If everyone helps out, they can probably know when to be open, and what kind of stuff is most popular.
I have lots of people here that say " I got ..... from the states and saved $5" Then the same people come back and complain because they broke a part and I don't have it "Right now". Now they have to wait a week for me to get it or they can save $5 and get it from the US in 2 weeks.

As for the guys that come into my shop every week, I almost always have what they need and they get good deals.

[born420]

well its been a time, im back and i got rid of those nasty old nitro trucks and went straight for electric, that being said i got my self a new monster jam grave digger, and this seems to be a dead post, is there any body left out there, gotta get something on the go, its lonely out here on the streets chassing cats hahaha get on the go boys


edit** and as for signal hobbies, my buddy is waiting almost a month on a gasket he keeps calling and still same answer well itll be in in a couple of days, and same every time, we need a better lhs and as for her not being able to afford to stay open even 2 hours more a day, all of them are doctors and her husbands buddys are all in the rc air club here i watched in one night how she can make a weeks salery at this just from 2-3 peoples wallets, pluss they charge up to150$ a year just to be in the club, not being mean or begrudge them but yeh i think from 11-5 would be a nicer deal, ---- i would go work there my self and have some basic knowledge, do lots of product research, testing (well you cant just look at a box and sell bullshit), and advertising, just to help bring the hobby into focus i just want people to enjoy the model (cant say toy) just as much as i have with mine.

[Gixxer]

I still keep checking in from time to time. Soon be time to get back at it. Picked up a Revo 3.3 for Christmas, so looking forward to getting out and breaking that in. Weather is finally starting to get a little nicer :)

[eastcoast78]

plus they charge up to150$ a year just to be in the club
Who are they? And i'm not sure who told you its 150 a year?[/I]

[/QUOTE](well you cant just look at a box and sell bullshit)[/QUOTE]
LOL yes you can.

Sometime its better too order small items online if SH does not have it in stock.
When i order a Plane or something big, i usually go through them though ,save the S/H cost. And if you are a reg customer ,she well match GH prices.
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=290068910132

Ohh yea i'm a club member of 4752 as-well lol. But that don't mean i don't head to the park fly every once and awhile.

yes but it got that bad for me having a nitro pede 3.3 fully hopped up keep parts and same with the tmaxx i had i was over at that shopp 3 times a week when i had those and then it went to planes, i went to an indoor up in mt pearl and im pretty sure seom fellas said it was like 65$for to join the club and another 75$ for insurance so adding them togather kinda makes out to be 150$ ori might be off by maxx of 10$ but thats close to the price for the flying club and i wasnt going to pay that and then another 6$ a night to go to indoors, sorry i wanted to fly but not that badly and i ended up getting 3 planes the 3rd one i used once and then the fear came back lol (crash) i smashed the bf109 into the vround not long after take off. i have my reasons for going from one rc to another lol lets hope electric is the way to go cus nitro sucks lol
and for my late bday gift to me from me lol is a nice new grave digger. got some old parts from my npede to fit, rear hub carriers and bearings. other then that i got about 300$ worth of metal that and a truck that was called a nitro stampede at one point lol in a pile in the corner, i didnt research enough to realize that npede parts will not fit all my parts are too short for the new one
any ways 9am out for the first few jumps of the morning the only thing im going to be ordering from now on is the trucks lol and my buddy is waiting over a month now on a gasket he keeps calling every monday and thursday , and the same thing, " oh my i was supposed to get a shipmen in on monday, call back then" and repeat lol its not as good as an answering maching but she could put one there and mimic her and say that lol she would be saving her breath

i hear yea,i have a 2.5 revo now for 6-7 years on my second engine and Glow is a PITA sometimes. Once you get used too tuning it its not bad.
i find at the beginning of the year/spring is the worst for tuning.
I like Elec Planes as well Plug it in a fly!!!

[born420]

electric is the only way to go lol and i still kinda got my 3.3 pede but i swapped 2.5 in her and she is semi scrapped now im waiting on the new owner to go buy the parts and he wants me to reassemble it, all the hinge pins bent like hockey sticks lol im prolly gonna get my cub out some time soon and see whats totally wrong with that might just need a battery box and lipo lol

and as for your revo, why not convert

[eastcoast78]
