Oklahoma City Claims the National Championship
By Travis Rae, Communications and Sports Information Intern
LINCOLN, Neb. – (Individual Results | Team Results) Oklahoma City claimed its sixth national championship, first since 2009, with a 12-stroke victory at the 19th annual NAIA Women's Golf National Championships held at Wilderness Ridge Golf Club in Lincoln, Neb.
The Stars, only trailed after the first round, registered a final round score of 304 en route to winning the national championship. Oklahoma City shots rounds of 310-305-305-304 – 1,224 (+72). The Stars have won an NAIA best sixth national titles.
"This is really special for us," head coach Marty McCauley said. "It has been four years since we have been standing in this spot and I am really proud of the team. The girls have worked their tails off to get here. This is a really special feeling to be standing in this spot."
In addition to winning the team prize, Oklahoma City's Jessica Schiele took home the individual medalist by shooting rounds of 75-68-74-78 (295) t o claim the top spot by five strokes. Schiele took the individual lead after the second round, as she fired a four-under-par 68 in the second round and never looked back as she held the lead the rest of the national championship. Schiele is the fourth individual medalist from Oklahoma City and the first since Sydney Cox won the award in 2009.
"It's amazing that we pulled together to win the national championship," said Schiele. "I struggled a little bit today with nervous but I had coach with me the entire round to help calm my nervous."
In addition to Schiele, the Stars had one other individual finish in the top five with Ela Folch (75-78-74-73 - 300) taking second place, five strokes behind Schiele.
Defending national champion British Columbia finished second place with a combined score of 84-over par, 1,236 (312-308-310-306). Embry-Riddle (Fla.) jumped into third place by firing a round of 301. The Eagles finished with rounds of 301-334-308-301 – 1,244 to finish the national championship 92-over par.
Cal State San Marcos finished one-stroke behind Embry-Riddle for fourth place. The Cougars carded rounds of 310-305-318-312 – 1,245. Rounding out the top five was Lubbock Christian (Texas). The Lady Chaps shot a four round total of 1,251 (304-314-313-320).
Behind Schiele and Folch, Mariah Montoya of Lubbock Christian finished third, posting a score of 304 for the week. There was a three way tie for fourth place with Maria Saavedra of Bellevue, Shelbye Hill of Lubbock Christian and Haley Cameron of British Columbia who all posted 18-over par 306 for the national championship.
This year's championships concluded with an awards ceremony that included the announcement of McCauley as the NAIA Coach of the Year and the all-tournament team, which includes the top 15 individuals. For McCauley, the award is the first national coach of the year award of his career.

DALLAS, May 25 (UPI) -- A U.S. nutritionist suggests an alternative to the high-fat traditional Buffalo chicken wing -- take off the skin and bake or grill instead of deep-fat frying.
For a lower-calorie chicken wing, Lona Sandon, a clinical nutritionist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, suggested grilling chicken pieces instead of traditional wings. Make your own hot sauce without the butter and use low-fat versions of cream cheese, sour cream and blue cheese, or substitute plain Greek yogurt, Sandon said.
Sandon also suggests ways to reduce fat from snacks and summer grilling:
-- Try salsas, low-fat sour cream dips or yogurt instead of traditional chip and vegetable dips, or low-fat versions of dressing instead of traditional ranch dressing. Substitute fat-free or lower-calorie ingredients such as vegetarian-style refried beans or whole beans, sour creams, low-fat cheeses and ground turkey to reduce calories for seven-layer dip.
-- Cut calories with baked tortilla chips, vegetarian refried beans or mashed black beans, low-fat cheese, peppers and tomatoes or fat-free sour cream.
-- Try vinegar-based sauces instead of those with high brown-sugar content for grilling. Mix chicken and beef to help lower overall calories.
-- Try leaner beef ribs instead of pork ribs, which are usually fatter. Consider brisket instead.
-- Try using your favorite spices and rubs on veggie, turkey, or soy burgers to give similar flavor with fewer calories, or blend hamburger with ground turkey or ground soy. Try beef jerky to get the beef flavor.
-- Look for 100 percent beef franks, turkey or soy instead of bratwurst, which usually has more calories than lean hot dogs.

The National Zoo said the second cub birthed by Mei Xiang, their giant panda, was malformed in utero and never alive.
Mei Xiang gave birth to a cub Friday afternoon after approximately two hours of labor and a second cub was born Saturday at 7:29 p.m., but it was stillborn.
Dr. Suzan Murray, head veterinarian at the National Zoo, said the second cub was malformed around the head and was never viable. Murray said the cub was missing part of its skull and brain, and had deformities with its eyes and jaw.
Murray described the stillbirth as "very rare."
She said zoo personnel were able to examine the first cub hands-on for the first time. "All signs are that we have a healthy cub and we're excited about that," Murray said.
While they won't know the sex of the cub for another couple of weeks, they were able to take vital sign readings. The cub weighs 137 grams or 4.8 ounces, had good heart and lung sounds, and good signs for intestinal function.
"Mei Xiang is doing very well and the cub is doing very well," said Dr. Brandie Smith, senior curator at the National Zoo."
Smith said panda observers did not see the birth of the second cub, but noticed Mei Xiang doing some abnormally long grooming of a cub and didn't notice any movement. She said there were some very tense moments until they heard the first cub squealing, indicating the presence of the second cub.
"It was a few minutes of pure terror," said Smith. "It was minutes between the cub not moving and the realization it was a second cub."
Both mother and cub are resting comfortably. Smith said Mei Xiang is behaving like a very good mother and they are very excited about watching the cub grow.
Pandas take two years between pregnancies so there will be plenty of time until zoo personnel will be on the lookout for the next panda addition.
After Friday's birth, zoo officials in Washington, D.C. reported, Mei immediately picked the cub up and started cradling it.
Mei Xiang had been on a 24-hour pregnancy watch since Aug. 7 when she began cradling her toys, licking her body and "nesting." She was artificially inseminated twice March 30 after failing to breed naturally with the zoo's male panda Tian Tian. Officials say Mei and the cub will be in isolation for the next few months.
It's not clear who will be the proud father: Mei was inseminated with previously frozen semen from both Tian Tian and Gao Gao, a panda at the San Diego Zoo.
Mei Xiang has given birth to two cubs in the past. A female cub, born last September, lived only six days. Her birth was a surprise; she had not shown up on any ultrasounds. An autopsy determined she may have been born prematurely. Mei Xiang's only surviving cub, Tai Shan, was born in 2005 and now lives in China.
According to an agreement with the Chinese government, the cub will stay at the National Zoo for four years and will then be sent to China.

AUGUSTA, Ga.- The Augusta State Jaguars outgunned the Coastal Georgia Mariners 96-57 on Sunday night in Christenberry Fieldhouse to notch their second victory of the season. The 96 points put up by the Jags were the most the team has scored since dropping 101 on Life University, Nov. 24, 2010.
Junior transfer Ryan Weems came off the bench to score a game and career high 20 points, hitting four of five three-point attempts, and grabbing three steals. Junior Harold Doby contributed 15 points and three steals in only 15 minutes of play, while sophomore Devonte Thomas booked 14 points. Senior Chad July pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds and added seven points. All 13 players who dressed for the game scored.
"Ryan was in foul trouble the first game, so he had to work on that tonight," said Head Coach Dip Metress. "We accomplished a lot of things I wanted the team to accomplish. I really wanted them to work on better dribble penetration."
The Mariners were paced by 10 points and eight rebounds from freshman forward Kostas Ezomo, with sophomores Dustin Henry and Reggie Burke notching nine points each.
Despite a slow start, the Jags dominated the first half, leading by as many as 30. Weems was perfect from behind the arc hitting three treys, contributing 14 points in the half. ASU pulled away in the second half while emptying the bench, leading by 46 at the 2:55 mark.
Augusta State shot 52 percent in the game while holding Coastal Georgia to 44 percent. The Jaguars shot 82 percent (23-28) from the charity stripe, and pulled down 40 rebounds to 27 for the Mariners. The Jags defense forced 24 turnovers, including 11 steals.
"We have several upcoming games against teams we lost to last year. Hopefully, we are going for the win this year," Metress said.
The Jaguars are back in action Wednesday, Nov. 28, for the final game of the three-game homestand against Benedict at 7:30 pm in Christenberry Fieldhouse.

Yeng, C. and Osman, E. and Mohamed, Z. and Noordin, R. (2010) Detection of immunogenic parasite and host-specific proteins in the sera of active and chronic individuals infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Electrophoresis, 31 (23-24). pp. 3843-3849. ISSN 0173-0835
Download (28kB)
Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnant women may result in abortion and foetal abnormalities, and may be life-threatening in immunocompromised hosts. To identify the potential infection markers of this disease, 2-DE and Western blot methods were employed to study the parasite circulating antigens and host-specific proteins in the sera of T. gondii-infected individuals. The comparisons were made between serum protein profiles of infected (n = 31) and normal (n = 10) subjects. Antigenic proteins were identified by immunoblotting using pooled sera and monoclonal anti-human IgM-HRP. Selected protein spots were characterised using mass spectrometry. Prominent differences were observed when serum samples of T. gondii-infected individuals and normal controls were compared. A significant up-regulation of host-specific proteins, alpha(2)-HS glycoprotein and alpha(1)-B glycoprotein, was also observed in the silver-stained gels of both active and chronic infections. However, only alpha(2)-HS glycoprotein and alpha(1)-B glycoprotein in the active infection showed immunoreactivity in Western blots. In addition, three spots of T. gondii proteins were detected, namely (i) hypothetical protein chrXII: 3984434-3 TGME 49, (ii) dual specificity protein phosphatase, catalytic domain TGME 49 and (iii) NADPH-cytochrome p450 reductase TGME 49. Thus, 2-DE approach followed by Western blotting has enabled the identification of five potential infection markers for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis: three are parasite-specific proteins and two are host-specific proteins.

A fluorogenic substrate that is best cleaved by MMP-7, 8, 9 and 13. The highly fluorescent Mca moiety is efficiently quenched by energy transfer to the Dnp group. The punctuated metallo proteinase (PUMP, EC 22.214.171.124) cleaves the substrate at the Gly-Leu bond with a 190-fold increase in fluorescence (Abs/Em = 325/393 nm). In human matrix metalloproteinases assays, this substrate is about 50 to 100 times more sensitive than the generic MMP substrate, Dnp-PLGLWAr-NH2 (Cat# 27074).

Styles make Fights
By Andrew Rivera: So the Canelo Alvarez/ Erislandy Lara ended in a 12 round split decision win for Canelo, yes it was close and some may think Lara won, but in boxing these things will happen when you get a contrast in styles. This has happened throughout boxing history where an aggressive fighter like Canelo edges a slick fighter like Lara.
I've seen on social media the divide on who won is split, some Canelo supporters say he won, some say Lara won.
Myself,I think Canelo had the edge and I watched it twice, once with the commendatory on and once without; yes the commentators can "wag the dog" and persuade fans on the outcome with their opinion.
Let's take the fan and heart out of it and go off the fight. Canelo is loved by many and is considered a boxing superstar, some envy him and I've heard in boxing circles and by "fans" that they don't think he deserves that status because he's too young or hasn't fought anyone to earn it. Is it his fault he is handsome and marketed well? No, it's his job to earn the most money he can in the sport he loves, can't fault him for that.
Let's look at fights in the past and the outcome that had fans split, most recently Mayweather/Maidana. A lot of people feel Maidana's pressure and punch output was enough to defeat the silky skills of Mayweather. On the other side some felt Mayweather did enough to out box Maidana and retain his title.
Again it was a close fight and the styles made the fight, the outcome was close and depending on the style you like, not the person or who you don't like. It was a close fight.
One of the most split fights in boxing history that epitomizes styles was Marvelous Marvin Hagler vs Sugar Ray Leonard. I myself had Hagler winning the fight in a close fight 115-113, but I am a Hagler fan. I have seen the fight over 50 plus times and I promised myself to be objective and judge it over and over again. Leonard fought a great fight and I love him as well, there are times I see the slick fighter in him eking out a win, but I like pressure fighters who make the fight, hence me having Hagler winning close.
Has there been bad decisions in Boxing? Hell yes, will there be more in the future ? Yes there will be. Was Canelo vs Lara a bad decision ? No , it was a contrast in styles and what the judges saw. I'm from New Mexico as is Judge Levi Martinez, he is a good judge and maybe he was a little off with 117-111, we're not at ringside like he is, were human and he saw something we didn't see, although we don't have to agree but he was selected to judge the fight.
If his score was 115-113 for Canelo would there be an outcry like today? Probably not, yet we as writers' , fans are quick to jump on Martinez.
Again it boils down to what style you like not be biased on who you like or don't. Do you like a slick boxer who lands a little and looks cute doing it or a fighter who presses forward aggressive who lands the harder shots and makes the fight?
I love boxing and have the honor of giving my opinion in a world wide forum, people may agree or disagree, thats what makes boxing great or as historian Larry Merchant would say " the theater of the unexpected."
Was this fight a robbery? Not at all, was it close? Yes , it's what makes this a great sport and makes us come back for more.

Here is the link where one can find the supported domains for functional testing by RFT
Before actually starting to automate, please go thru the above link to check if your environment is supported by RFT, else RFT will not run
Rational Functional Tester plugs into IBM's open-sourced Integrated Development Environment (IDE) known as Eclipse. By embracing IBM's IDE, Rational Functional Tester sits along side other development tools created by IBM Rational and other vendors allowing easy tool integration into a common interface. RFT is the QSE(Quality Software Engineering) recommended tool for GUI automation.
RFT enables
you to program in standard Java or with Visual Basic .NET. The fact
that RFT uses these programming languages provides two advantages.
- One
advantage is that the languages are standard so the learning curve is smaller
than if the script developer had to learn both the tool and the language.
- Another advantage is the flexibility the two languages offer. Programmers have the choice of familiar languages. So they can write programs in the one at which they are most adept or which they feel best suits their needs.
GUI test automation tools also feature libraries of functions useful for testing, such as click, select, or verify. In RFT, you can add to this library ("wrapping" several lines of code to perform a single operation is one useful technique), to provide functions useful to all RFT programmers.
When developers change properties of UI elements, existing scripts potentially can fail. How do you maintain your scripts if developers keep changing properties that identify the user interface elements, such as the position of the object or its name? This is an inevitable part of development, but how can your scripts keep up?
This is one of the most important issues to think about when selecting a tool and creating your scripts, because if your scripts take too much effort to maintain, they cease to be a cost-effective and efficient solution for testing.
RFT uses two technologies to
address this problem.
- The core technology is the RFT Object Map feature.
- The RFT Object Map feature is enhanced by ScriptAssure.
The RFT Object Map stores information about GUI objects and their properties during test development. This information is used to find GUI objects during test execution. Some of the properties that identify an object include color, size, position, state (such as checked and unchecked), text label, and logical name (the name you assign to the object). Object maps are often shared across multiple tests.
The purpose of ScriptAssure is to eliminate the need to update the script when the objects in the user interface change. ScriptAssure accomplishes this by allowing you to weight the different properties used to identify a UI element. You determine the most important characteristics for identifying the object. When one property changes, ScriptAssure can still identify the object based on the other properties. No single change to any object prevents an RFT script from running to completion.
Another way that RFT reduces script maintenance is with the Object Map update tool. The tool enables you to globally update a centralized object map.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Based on ideas about thinking, teaching, and learning articulated more than a century ago by philosopher John Dewey, inquiry curriculum is grounded in students' natural curiosity about the real world and how it works. Beginning with their questions about a problem or subject, inquiry guides students through a cycle of investigation, discussion, presentation, and reflection. In a sense, the method formalizes in the classroom the process a learner of any age would naturally go through in exploring a complex issue, problem, or question.
In Beyond Reading and Writing: Inquiry, Curriculum, and Multiple Ways of Knowing, educator Jerome Harste provides this explanation of inquiry-based learning:
Inquiry, like literacy and curriculum, has multifaceted meaning. On one level, inquiry means learning driven by a learner's personal question or questions. There are always questions. Our lives are full of ambiguity, and we have to continually ask, 'what does this mean?' Our questions originate from what we already know, and we pursue them by making predictions, examining assumptions, gathering more information, and seeking alternative perspectives and new possibilities. In essence, inquiry is learning.Used across the curriculum and among various age levels, inquiry looks different in different classrooms and contexts. An inquiry in elementary science that begins with the question "Why do some things float and others sink?" will be conducted in an entirely different way than a high school social studies inquiry that takes on the issue of civil rights in a post-9/11 United States. However, all inquiry approaches encourage students to pursue information through investigation, experimentation, creation, reflection, and discussion and to use their outside knowledge and "real life" experiences in that pursuit. To that end, the teacher should act as facilitator for the process of individual learning and encourage students to make connections between their classroom inquiries and their personal lives.
Although inquiry has its own well-defined philosophy, it clearly shares key characteristics with other theories detailed in this series. Inquiry methods are deeply rooted in reader-response theory; they put great emphasis on a reader's initial reaction to a text and the personally meaningful questions that arise from that reaction. In the inquiry programs in this workshop series, for example, you will notice that teachers use the reader-response technique of having students select and react to quotes from a novel as a warm-up exercise before finding their own inquiry topics. Inquiry also shares a methodology with cultural studies in that both involve intertextual readings and the study of multiple genres. But inquiry is more explicitly student-centered than cultural studies because the entire process runs on the "engine" of student questions and their work to find answers to those questions. Finally, inquiry shares a great deal philosophically with critical pedagogy in that both theories hold that education should be emancipatory; they give students the tools to question the relationship between knowledge, power, and authority and seek to empower students to use what they have learned to right social injustice.
All inquiry methods are based on a common belief: At this moment in history, when there is an unprecedented flow of information, an educated person is not a person who knows a large number of facts, but a person who knows how to understand and use facts in larger contexts. By teaching students how to use information, inquiry methods teach them how to learn.
Impact on teaching literature
An inquiry approach supports students in making their own meaning from texts. By giving students a structure -- whether it's a Socratic seminar, problem-based learning instruction, I-search, or any other type of inquiry method through which to question, discuss, refine, and reflect -- the inquiry approach provides students with the freedom to explore their own questions, and the tools with which to do it. A literature teacher might pose questions like "What is a hero?" or "To what extent is equality among human beings possible?" Through collaboration, discussion, and interaction with a series of texts that speak to the question, coupled with collective reflection, students and their teacher together can begin to pose possible answers.
Incorporating inquiry in the classroom
An inquiry classroom is an active, engaged, sometimes "messy" classroom. Students might all be involved in an inquiry project on the same theme, with each student busily exploring his or her own question about that theme. Or, as with educator Ken Macrorie's I-Search method, each student might simply pursue his or her own individual project, documenting the "story of the search" on a topic as it happens. Using another kind of inquiry method, the Socratic seminar, the whole class might discuss a question or text together, led either by the teacher or by a student, within a formal structure for questioning, talking, and reflecting.
Regardless of which inquiry method is used, students go through a similar process. First, they must identify and focus on some problem to be solved or question to be answered. Then they begin to investigate by reading, experimenting, observing, interviewing, gathering resources, and otherwise steeping themselves in the subject. As the original question or problem is refined and explored, individual students begin to shape their ideas through discussion with others. After sharing knowledge by comparing information, debating conclusions, and brainstorming solutions, students may sum up what they have learned in a written, spoken, or visual presentation. Woven into this whole process is the work of reflection -- of constantly honing the question and observing one's own process toward finding an answer.
Educator Jerome Harste has identified the four crucial elements of any inquiry curriculum:
Benefits and challenges of using an inquiry approach
An inquiry approach recognizes the diverse needs of different students and the importance of keeping individual students engaged. Because it is rooted in the questions students raise about an issue or text, it encourages them to actively engage in constructing new knowledge. It also builds a community of learners through the process of working collaboratively toward answers or solutions alongside one's peers and teachers. It connects learning to the world outside the classroom, honoring both individual points of view and the rich work that can arise from peer collaboration.
Note: Because inquiry is more a process than a discrete set of strategies, the various topics in the Teaching Strategies section should be read as a sequence. Any teacher wishing to structure an inquiry will want to include each of the elements described.

Tuesdays are our big photo shoot days at food52, when we're joined by our lovely and talented photographer, Sarah Shatz, and we cook, style and shoot the finalists' dishes (plus the wildcard winner and assorted other tools, ingredients and the like). And there are, of course, still administrative site matters to maintain; blogs to be written; tweets to be tweeted.
Nevertheless, some Tuesdays are simple. Take last week: in our pool of finalists, we ended up with a grilled cheese sandwich, a bowlful of mussels, and two types of roasted broccoli (one, two) -- all delicious and wonderful recipes in their own right, but none especially labor intensive. None had more than a couple ingredients to chop, or a cook time over half an hour.
This week, however, we really set ourselves up for the cook's equivalent to the Ironman triathlon. For one, we were taking on Nose to Tail recipes, which often coax flavor and texture out of less accommodating cuts of meat through long marinating and cooking times and plenty of tasty supporting accoutrements. And then there were the Baked Pasta dishes, which, no matter how simple, inevitably require several steps: cooking the pasta, making the flavorful accompaniments, and then baking them all together once more, with feeling.
Don't get us wrong, we love getting lost in these sorts of luxurious, multistage affairs in the kitchen -- but we don't usually choose to pile them all on top of one another in a single day. The dirty dishes alone tend to dash that prospect from our minds, not to mention considerations like oven temperature coordination, counter and refrigerator space constraints, recommended daily caffeine intake levels and general sanity.
But this week, we cast aside such middling concerns (or, you know, forgot to think about them at all). A record 11 hours, 1,322 photos, 4 sinks full of dishes, and many fabulous food breaks later, it was a successful, if exhausting day. You probably won't be seeing "Your Best Turducken" going head-to-head with "Your Best Wedding Cake" any time soon, but this marathon photo shoot was loads of fun and well worth the extra effort -- we hope you'll agree. Here's a glimpse at how we got it all done.
9:13am Merrill consults the recipes that lie ahead while a spectral Amanda breezes through the background. That giant orb behind her is our answer to the photographer's lighting dilemma of shorter, often overcast winter days. It's doing wonders for our seasonal affective disorder too. And we only hit our heads on it, oh, 5-6 times every Tuesday.
10:24am Amanda shares the oddly appealing texture of tripe with her son Walker.
10:47am Even in the middle of wrangling tripe, Amanda obsessively diligently checks page view stats.
12:16pm A maxed-out stove. Amanda works on the sauce for the Pastitsio (which, we learned, is really difficult to say without an exclamation point. Pastitsio!) while Merrill whisks together its bechamel topping. Wildcard-winning Beet Fusilli has been bumped to stage right.
1:32pm Keeping up with all these dishes is a serious workout.
2:25pm During down time between recipes, while offal simmers and pasta bakes, the food52 team hits the "office" to work on editorial content. Note that it's after 2pm and we haven't had anything resembling lunch yet -- this think tank is starting to get a little bit low on gas.
3:44pm Looking rather dazed. This is one of those moments Sarah has to remind A & M to perk up and smile pretty for the camera.
4:38pm Giddiness strikes. We're almost done!
4:57pm Hoping to catch the last glimmer of afternoon sun, A & M move to a window in the room we call the "Atelier" at the front of Amanda's apartment. The tacos aren't behaving for their close-up; they tend to pop open the second they're released (hmm, guess there's a reason they're usually hand-held). Amanda shoves them into submission, discovering that avocado is a handy glue.
5:13pm Sun all but gone, Amanda steps up to light an ingredient shot late in the day.
5:44pm Attracted by the siren song of the blender (after all, it makes milkshakes too), Walker comes in to investigate and finds Mom whirring Manicotti batter.
6:12pm Amanda's kids are lucky little gourmands – they get to try leftovers from all the great recipes tested at food52! Don't let this photo of Addie staring down some Barbacoa Beef Cheek bias your vote – the kids' second course was Trippa alla Romana, and they loved that too.
See what other Food52 readers are saying.

Does anyone have the aftermarket Sway Bar Kit installed on their cars? Are there any pics showing detail available. How well does the kit work? Is it best for on or off road? Thanks in advance!
I'll try anything once, maybe twice!
There are some here, you can search around for them, I can't remember which ones have them. I think they're by HOT Racing. It would be best for on road normally since you want a lot of articulation for offroad--but depends on what you're doing. I could see a short course truck using them for example.
I'll try anything once, maybe twice!
Ok, I finally got the HR Sway Bar kits in and installed. Very simple installation. I also went with 10K Diff oil mixed with 70WT shock oil to reduce squat on acceleration, and nose dive on braking. Using the HPI Vintage slicks, this thing handles like a dream! I went through 2 packs of stick 1200mAh NiMh in series on concrete, and couldn't roll it over! I haven't had a chance to try the X-Patterns yet, but I fear they will grip better and cause the car to flip. Next is a track test on asphalt.
I also put a set on my 1/16 Slash 4X4. It stiffens up the suspension nicely!
I'll try anything once, maybe twice!
Looks great.
What kind of tires are those on the Slash?
Also, it looks like you've got some adjustable pushrods on the stang. Who makes them and where do you get them?
I'll try anything once, maybe twice!
Last week I ordered some HPI 4475s( SuperSize Rally Tires) and some different type wheels to try on the Slash. Their specified OD is 2.9" which is just about .200" bigger than stock which is something I'm hoping will help handle the rough better and yet fit nicely under the fenders. They also come in a soft compound.
I hope the Integy stuff holds up for you. I tried a set for the tie rods and pushrods and they didn't last 15 minutes on my Slash going offroad. Everyone of the rods came out of one end or the other. The Traxxas tierods are awesome however.
Can you post a URL for the sway bar kit?
I have a 302 Boss Mustang. Is this the kit? http://www.hot-racing.com/index.cgi?...XS311X01;c=455
That is the kit.
Links are acceptable... only a few brands are not allowed and the ones that are not allowed turn into asterisks.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
How have the sway bars held up thus far? I am looking to get some as well
I just got the same HR swaybars for my Fiesta, and they seem pretty sturdy. Still in the build phase, so I cannot attest to their durability. They do not include instructions, so refer to this forum if you have any trouble. Careful with the ends, because I had one shattter on me when I used pliers to squeeze them on the ball studs. After that one, I used my shop vise to slowly press them in. No troubles when I did it that way. They fit very tightly.

I even put a drop of bearing oil in each ball end to help them move a little easier.

Cool Streetz Daddi, can you report back what a difference you saw after installing them if you want to that is
Oh for sure.. I will definitely let you know if you get a bang for your buck..
Hey y'all i found a way to increase the handling @ hi speeds without using any extra body parts!!!! one word "WEIGHT"
so i tried something new. i went to my local HS and found some GPM sticky weight!! so i brought a half pound worth.. install it on my chassis.. i put more weight on the front bumper then anywhere else! i already had an additional quarter pound home made weight set... current total weight: 4pounds !!!
im shooting for 5pounds total... anyway i took her out for a test run.. running 4s 2s series on stock motor 380 VELINEON & stock ESC with a Bec 10 amp FIESTA/RALLY BODY NO WING(cause i didn't get it yet) all i can say is yoooooooooooo try this weight setup!!! SUPER BIG IMPROVEMENT SUPER! My car do not flip over at all and im banging out speed in the 60s all she will do is spin in 360 motion... and this is with no Sway Bar Kit all stock.. even the wheels and tires. but i have stock nitro slick tires though. they are not that good. anyway WEIGHT is a prime factor! i can't wait to install the hot racing sway bar kit my 10mm offset wheels with RaDial tires!! this setup is crazy for hi-speeds.. by the way if you are planning on going balls out i suggest u to change everything that's plastic into GPM material. other than that your local HS will definitely be loving your money!! listen I'm breaking up RPM parts. so i decided to turn every last part that's plastic into STEEL (GPM).
i think it's only right!
but here is a good tip to increase handling at hi-speeds

ok i will make an photo bucket account so i can post pics. unless theirs another way! if so let me know
First, the picture needs to be uploaded to a web host; like photobucket, flicker, or even a locked folder on facebook (like I do). Then after it is uploaded; you view the picture online, right click, and select "copy image location". At this point you come back to the forum and select the third icon from the right; the one that says "image" when you hover over it, and paste your image location into the box in the popup, then click "ok". Then the picture will be shown like this:
More information:
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] i also install my old cell phones onto the shell of the car. using one of the two phones to clock my speed (with speed meter app install) but at the same time im using them as weight too!! a few sticky weights came off on the bumper. it total out to be 2oz an a half just on the bumper and 3oz an a half around the chassis. but some fell off (it was a rush job just to test)!

Anyone got durability report for the sway bar kit?

I've only had a few packs ran on my car since building it, but I doubt there would be any reliability issues. The only thing I found with my HR sway kit is that the ball ends are SO tight. I ended up reaming mine out just a little with an exacto knife. One of them was still so tight, that it shattered when I went to squeeze it on with pliers. After that, I used a vice to get them on nice and slow and straight. On one end, where the balls have the hex, I drilled a small hole through the ends so I could get them off without taking it apart.
See what I mean? The end closest to the shocktower I drilled out. I was afraid prying them off might break something. This makes getting the assembly much easier to remove. My experience was made a little more difficult by having the piggyback shocks, too. I had to bend the wires outwards a little, too. Otherwise the hit the piggybacks on the shocks, and wouldn't move freely. Now they work great!

Good Evening.
I also own a traxxas 1/16 mustang with lipo 3s and are not happy with the car because every time I post in cornering the car flips over! ... This is a stress !.
Please .... please, could you tell me where I can buy the kit stabilizer bars of Hot Racing? ...
I accquistato Kit springs for 1/16 E-Revo and I changed the oil with one from 1000 cSt but the springs have a greater length and continues to overturn.
I accept tips to make your car go fast !.
Thank you.
mattley2, i have been looking for these sway bars and can't find them anywhere
Center diff will help it from flipping when going into corners.
As for sway bars, making your own is an option. Piano wire, 1/10 rod ends, threaded rods.
