Hello rob,

I really like the videos too. I'm still waiting patiently for mine. I would like to ask a couple of questions of you , if you don't mind. I'm assuming this does not have a tach on it, what kind do you have and do you recommend it? Also, in the video, I really love the sound, but is it REAL loud? It kinda sounded that way. i don't want to cause deafness to the people I ride with.

Appreciate the help.

Scott

 

Scott:

My tach is a simple "Tiny Tach/Hourmeter" which is a little digital thing that hooks up in five minutes. I use it mainly to track hours of use so I can schedule maintenance. A side benefit is the tach. It's useless to shift by it because the numbers change too quickly to read, but when you're climbing a hill at a set RPM, or revs are climbing slowly, you can glance at it to see where you are.

As for volume, it is NOT loud, it just sounds that way because of the way my camcorder's microphoe works. It's no louder than a stock Raptor (if that). It needs a pipe badly to be a bit louder and sound better. My fully piped 400EX (full Big Gun exhaust) was quite a bit louder.

Thanks for the reply Rob. Hopefully one day I'll have mine, and I can offer up some advice myself.

Yep, you're enjoying this WAAAAY too much. LOL

I want pics!!!!!!!!!!! =(

 

Nice video Rob. I also use Studio 8. Refresh my memeory, how do you set the videos up to stream ???

 

TeamZ400:

I'm making a bunch of screen grabs right now to post soon. I'll post again in this thread tonight when they're up.

Michael:

Under the "Make Movie" tab, choose the "Stream" button on the left side and then click on the Settings button to specify Windows Media, Real Video, etc.

BTW, I have lots of cool video footage of my two friends' Raptors playing around. One is a stock blue 2001 (who hasn't trashed his trans... yet) and the other is the piped and jetted one that I raced yesterday.

I really like the Raptor... I want one as a second sport quad now. Ideal for a girlfriend, when I find one who wants to ride (the last one was terrified of anything not flat).

but dont you need to login to pinnacle and set a account first (like 5 gig limit??) ?? or can you set it up a domain (like mine arrowheadconcrete.com)
Thanks, Sorry about the OT

Michael

 

Oh I get it now, sorry. I have my own server, so I don't use Pinnacle's network. I own a half dozen or so domain names that are parked on a webserver at a friend's place in the Tampa, Florida area. He does ISPing for quite a few people on a case-by-case basis. Makes it nice.
