matts buggy build

[GBR928]

Found out this past weekend I can hit 50 mph in low range still with 5.38s! Buggy ran awesome on shit water CA fuel, hoping that is the reason it crackles at full throttle. Covered 10 miles at WPH with no issues. Hoping we can put together a no stop no pit race!

Pumper system install, usual grease job, and bolt/fluid check are only things on my list for race on 5/2.

Debatable on making new 30" high rear bumper...

Mike mike do you know how to isolate driver to co driver radio chatter from car to car? Smike thinks it'd be funny for everyone to talk to eachother though for this race, I agree. I will have it recording on my go pro!

If I'm understanding what you're saying, You can't do that. You cannot hear while transmitting.

Basically I don't want you or smike to hear joe and I talking to each other the whole race on your radio unless you want to. However, smike said he thinks it would be cool.

We do not hear you unless you press your push to talk. Otherwise you'd never be able to receive.

I can't hear joe though unless I use PTT.., how do you get it so we can directly speak to eachother without PTT?

o thats annoying you have to push the button to talk though the intercom?  i thought that was the point of the intercom- weird

[GBR928]

Yeah..., might need to play with it.

must be hooked up wrong or need different cables- intercom shouldnt transmit.  you dont even need a radio to use the intercom

VOX gain needs to be turned up

[mr.mindless]

Without a doubt your VOX isn't set right. Gain too low means you never break squelch to hear each other. Hook up a music input and it will be very obvious: the music volume ducks when squelch is broken.

It's a very fine line. Kim & I didn't listen to any tunes most of the time and just left open mics between us. I don't think two excited guys yelling a bit would ever have an issue if mics are well positioned and not facing backwards.

Yea ours works fine. PTT isn't transmitting Intercom it's transmitting to everyone.

I adjusted the vox as needed.
But with headsets vs helmet kits we opted for a lower setting.
Should be able to adjust radio and intercom volume separately also.

[mr.mindless]

yup, intercom volume is the other knob on the intercom, and incoming radio receive volume is the volume knob on the radio set.
