When I get my finger out I'll be running a BJ4WE.

A couple of weeks. The batteries are looking a little bit weak however.

mikeyscott · #**262** 18-10-2009

Cool. Fingers crossed for an AMB by then. I am not racing for a few weeks now

wedding stuff....

AmiSMB · #**263** 18-10-2009

Sorry I could not get there today but something came up at home

I am away for the next two weekends so hopefully will be up there after that. Hope the AMB system goes ahead as that will make it so much better.

Elliott Hopkins · #**264** 18-10-2009

I'd better check, how is the track access for classic Minis? No crazy sleeping policemen or potholes?

Will I make it down there without beaching the car?

mikeyscott · #**265** 18-10-2009

Just got word that we have an AMB system on it's way and it'll take PTs. Woo hoo..

Time to find a AMB transponder and a MRT for the 2nd car

dibble34 · #**266** 18-10-2009

Tell me more mate, is the new one or an AMB20 etc

AMB RC.

I got sent a link from RaceChat in the week, replied to it and forward it to Jules resulting in first refusal. It's cost a fair amount so there was a lengthy debate this morning. 3 heats today with dedicated 2WD and 4WD. Had a good day with some old faces back. (Phill Moggy running a B44 give him a bit and he'll be on Steve's tail)

I had a text from the guy selling saying Jules has gone for it. Wicked!!

Downer is I'm not racing till the 7th due to wedding venue hunting

Gives me time to source an AMB PT though

There was a mini there last week I think (old one) don't know whos it is. My Leon Cupra grounds out if you head down the left side of the track.

dibble34 · #**269** 18-10-2009

so is that the new one. how many transponders do we get?

AMBrc system

5 PTs. Downside is people need to source their own.

Heard MRTs are cheap.

Quite a few of the new people havwe their own PTs

jkonline · #**271** 19-10-2009

I read that all MRT's are cloned from AMB transponders so can have number clashes although they do have a system to switch to one of 20 other pre-set numbers if there is a clash.

Does anyone know anything about this and is it a problem?

Great, now people are botting for this title. Means my efforts of actually working for it were in vain.

Very occasional clashes with the MRTs, but just switch to another number and all is fine. Full instructions come with them, not an issue.

Great to hear AMB is on it's way, even more reason for me to come over to take a look too.

saintnitro · #**274** 19-10-2009

Hi,

You ran the madrat didn't you? Sorry I didn't come down and see you, but an observation from marshalling your race you need to wind the slipper out a bit, it should make it easier to drive.. Just not too much otherwise you'll cook something like I did in my Cat

Once I sorted that out it was all good and a fantastic final run.

How many people here have a PT?

Think 2010 will be the rear TORCH gets on the map

Cheers,

Mike

saintnitro · #**276** 19-10-2009

hi mate yeah i was running the madrat. the slipper was right out if i undone it anymore the nut would of fallen of

early in the morning when the track was slippy i changed tyers and it worked a treat but i left them on for one more heat then needed, as the dryed out and i was gripping everywhere its just my driving thats letting me down

the good thing is that i'm constent(sorry cant spell) 9 laps every time with roughly the same times. so i just got to push myself and tiedy up my driving

Ginge

mikeyscott · #**277** 19-10-2009

Ok cool.

Yup half the battle, car set-up and then being able to drive the damn thing

Randall34 · #**278** 20-10-2009

Hi All,
I have been talking to mickeyscott about your club, I used to be a member of TORCH back in the day. I live in London and race at EPR when i can, but had no idea that Titchfield was still going and that its growing again too. This has spurred me on to want to come and race with the old crew, although i'm not sure if any of them are still there. My age group is the same as Dan Brown, and his brother Steven. I first raced at Titchfield community centre in 1988 and then at Catisfield village hall then on to the garden centre at segensworth where i stopped racing in 1999/2000. That little club was a great bunch of people who just wanted to race and have fun, even if it started raining. I hope that the club is still thriving and that the winter doesn't dwindle the numbers too much. I would really love to come down and race one morning, my folks still live in Locks Heath so i can drop off the kids there and come and have some fun.
I have a X-6 with a 9t brushless motor, with LiPo. I gather you have a AMB timing system so i will try and get a transponder too.
Hope to see you all soon.
Cheers
Neil Randall

Randall34 · #**279** 20-10-2009

P.S. What tyres and gearing do you guys run?

Captain-Codpiece-The-2nd · #**280** 20-10-2009

I only run there once in a blue moon when I am down south, but I also run an X6. I have a 6.5 brushless, with 78/23 and it seems to be ok. Only real difference I make when I race there is lighter oil in shocks. Tyre wise I run staggered ribs up front and schumacher yellow mini spikes on the rear. What weight are running yours at?
