Good turn out including a new racer with a Losi Eight-e and a 22!! - but its obvious that there is still a load of work to be done to get the track up to standard. Hope to get the track screwed down before Sunday.
I think a "Wall of death" on the hairpin before the table top would help the rythm of the tabletop section. I'll consult with Ian and see what he thinks.

I actually snapped a motor shaft on that jump (or rather, beside it)! Not sure anyone has ever done that before.

I think there needs to be a balance between 'death' and 'challenging' If somebody, with more experience than me, can design jumps that are technically difficult BUT don't destroy our cars then I'm all for it. I understand that having varied jumps pushes the club racers abilities but like all things in life you need a happy balance |

Yes that is what I meant. A good balance will be best for all
Not boring and flat Not with crazy jumps that damage either OR RUIN THE FLOW OF THE RACING. OTHERWISE go for it. |

Hi Lads,
Have a look at the links below. Most of the jumps seem fairly mild & some are movable so you can change the track very quickly. The last link has a small wall of death coming onto the straight, looks interesting http://www.rceasy.com/2008/01/19/jor...s-in-hohenems/ http://www.team-durango.com/blog/201...llenge-moscow/ http://www.petitrc.com/_forumphp/showthread.php?t=53354 |

Yep,
Have to agree with Tony about the 'wall' I've driven on a few over the years. And in all honesty they do look good, but apart from that nothing else, don't really add much to a track. The time spent building one would be better spent build more small jumps and rhythm sections. MiCk B. :-)

HaHa i definatly agree hear with the 'small' lol cause i neva broke the durango until i came to dublin and the big jump, as neil cragg said 'i like jumps like everyone else but not the make or breakers'!!!! i think more jumps ie rhythm sections etc raised corners instead i one HUGE jump!!!
