Fellow vintage racers
 

What you all racing at the Roger wood race I'll be using my Losi xx not been touched for around 20 years same Motor God knows how it will go trying to coble together some wheel and tyres from the 40+ sets I have lol

I'm running a Cougar 2 but with modern electrics

Manta Ray with modern electrics, but still the old yellow plastic shocks. It died badly on me at the Oople Invernational but it was just the servo so should be OK now.

I think I may be struggling with my.old electrics against you guys :D

You will be if Rob Mills is running his pimped up ZXR :o

Rob might be running his Cougar I believe it's back together.

Just tried to charge a set of batteries and it won't even charge lol 2 minute races anyone :thumbsup:

Day, if you need a modern speedo n motor I can lend them to you, got an orion speedo n a spare 7.5 or 8.5 if you need?

Daz.........bloody auto correct, lol

Thanks mate but I don't think the lipos would fit anyway and don't want to wreck the gearbox

If we're talking motors what are people thinking? I don't want to win buy a mile:p

my last race was indoors so i've probably got a 12x in it :blush:

My Manta has a 6.5t in it though I only have to one pinion so the gearing is a bit off.
Rob was planning on using his Cougar - the ZXR is his indoor car.

I'm running my egress. It's got a 10.5 in it boosted

I'm going to be coming last here lol

What tyres you using yellow mini spikes on the rear I assume what about fronts for 2wd?

I've got hammered yellow spikes front and rear, but most will argue staggers or cut staggers and rightly so that's what I run on the modern.

As for drive pins I've got you covered:thumbsup: 1/16 solid or 1.5 roll pins.

Thanks Neil I'll leave my part worn slim minis on the front :D

Yellow minispikes all round for 4wd. I'm not sure staggers would be right on a vintage, and I don't just mean for aesthetic reasons either. They don't have the turn in modern cars do. My RC10 also runs minispikes both ends - I tried staggers but it just didn't work right. It doesn't help that its hard keeping the cars nose down at all with a modern motor.
Curiously though staggers up front and minispikes rear is perfect on my RC10, but then a full truck width set of staggers is a pretty beastly tyre.

ive got yellow mini spikes all round on my egress ive put a slightley more modern wheel on the car ( Top Force ) so i can run the modern tyres as std wheels where 2"

I'm hoping to be running my cougar 2. If I get chance to put the electrics in. I will be using a 7.5t motor with a nosram pearl Speedo.
I'm thinking blocks on the rear as it may be kinder on the belt and slipper as they dont have as much bite.
