Is NRX suitable for 10th racing??
I would list everything I broke today, but I can't be bothered to spend an hour typing it out:thumbdown:
|
I voted No from what I heard from several racers who were there today, Apart from my lift there letting me down this was one of the few reasons that was bothering me about whether I was going to go or not.
Only my opinion as others may think otherwise but I'm quite relieved I didn't get chance to go now, I would have most likely not even had half the spares needed or money to finish the day/rebuild my car never mind getting any time to get food! Bet pete (castle models) was busy! I know alot of hard work was put into the track/raceday and alot of organisation and hours put in from many but maybe 1/8th tracks are just not suited for 1/10th cars? |
It really wasn't that bad, yes if you got it wrong then it was usually a big crash but it was down to driver error, there was far more broken at the players event and that was deemed an awesome track :confused:
The biggest issue was wind, the cars got caught sometimes and there was nothing that could be done. When you nailed down slopes and put together a clean lap it was very rewarding :thumbsup: At the end of the day you learnt where to put the power down and where the bumps were, it was the same for everyone. Mike: i also dont think your vote is valid, you cant vote against a track from hear say. Surely you can see that??? |
The players mega jump was just insane though! I know you may think my vote isn't valid as I wasn't there, as I say it's just my opinion from what people told me and what i've seen previously.

Mike, if you hadn't tried fish fingers and i asked do you like them? Would you say no because your mate doesn't like them?:confused:
|
No it's Definatley not suitable for 1/10 scale.
I know the wind was a factor and the jumps could be taken slow. I was more concerned that the straight couldnt be driven down at speed because it was so bumpy! Being small i struggled to see some bits of the track. Im not really sure what the logs were doing in the middle of the track? Rock crawling? Was it a track for racing or endurance? I for one will be removing my 4wd entry:thumbdown: Not sure if others will..... Well done to Stephen for finishing and the win :thumbsup: |
Any results?

I broke as much today on "normal" landings as I did when getting it wrong. I don't normally break much either, my driving style being steady away. |
Looks like a nice way to kill off a new venue before its even started, i have only raced 8th on it but i am sure they will iron out any problems, i have heard alot of work as been put into it allready and surely it can only get better..
|
But you havent run a 1/10 scale round there Neil :confused:
Hasnt the track been there 2 years??? |

Were you there today mate? Ironing out the whole track may be good start. |
The astro needs to be joined properly..
|
The logs could be taken flat out, I gave my 4wd a run after the meeting and was able to triple the 2 sets of triples, no bother. :thumbsup:
One thing i did notice though was people who were making the mistakes lap after lap were not learning from them.:confused: If you hit a bump don't drive over it again and complain you crashed, it's all about knowing your limits, some people run out of talent sooner than others. |

If only we were all as talented as you Lee :lol: |

I never said i was, but its about knowing where you can go quick and where to back off.
Northy didn't jump all day and ran a gash car for qualifying. You have a choice, only jump if you think you can land it. If i had broken my car as much as people are saying i would be taking my time round the track to try and get a time in. I think i look like im taking my time anyway, thats the way i roll :lol: |
The jumps were very inconsistent (not helped by the wind) even when taken steadily.
|
If you hit them at the wrong angle or in the wrong area, if you tried different lines it was possible to make them more consistent.
I used a borrowed car today, and ran mini pins from worksop and managed to make the A but in round 1 i set the fastest lap by over half a second and i was far from the fastest driver there, i just managed to get it all together on that lap. |
