Kash, we tend to start track building around 6, booking in closes / racing starts 7 ish, but if you will be any later than 7, just send us a message on this forum to pre-book in.

Kash.
Some people get there for 6.15 ish to set the track up. Most arrive just after.
Would be really good to see you there. Very good racing.Best in the North East to be honest.

You will need to stick some lead in the B4 if you run the 3200 stick packs.Ive just got some bits from Ghea racing to add weight to help with lipo setups.It might be worth a look for you.

Peter
I think 6 min heats and 6 min final would be best. Would that mean that that we wouldnt be rushing around?

Well last night was fun !

dayxwalker · #28 07-01-2009

Is racing on next week ?

chris68nufc · #29 07-01-2009

Really enjoyed it last night. Good to see more drivers every week, and still loads of regulars were missing.
I think that the use of carpet in places was excellent(apart from the top of the straight). When the Regional comes at least the new starters will have had some experience of racing on carpet.
The jump was good but was totally different to anything we have had before. Normally you have to go gung ho and hang on for life but this one was a bit more subtle.
Really enjoyed last night even though my Li-pos are now dead.

turbo_brick · #30 07-01-2009

Have to admit, last night was good

. Plenty of new faces and a track that I quite enjoyed.

I think a jump like last nights might be good for the regional, although we do have other ideas

. Going to try one of them next week, so Chris make sure your ready for it.

I am trying to recrute another member ! A mate that used to race with me when we were kids. He's really up for it and still has a 15 year old Cougar 2 Works LOL I am fixing it up for him but have advised him to keep the electronics and sell the car to get a B4 as the cougar will be hopless !
Also my dads going to race my B4 when I go 4wd (couple of months time).
Who was it who was taking all the pics ? Looked profesional ! Can we get the pics ? Maybe put them on the Facebook Group ? It was the video link on there that sold me on jarrow and getting back into RC !

Mike was taking the photo's. hopefully we'll get a copy of them at some point.

Peter

Off road is excellent and totally addictive!!
The track last night was very Regional if you get what i mean.Far too tight at the bottom though next to the doors. Im sure for the Regional it will be a touch longer as we will be pitting in the other area.
Great to see more faces there. Competition is getting fierce!

Pete.
Best i have ever seen anything you own going round the track. It must still have the Chris Long setup on it. Dont change it !!!

turbo_brick · #34 07-01-2009

Chris your so funny

needs a bit more setting up, needs more rotation on slippy bits and something to stop the grip roll.

The carpet half way round the corner still didn't stop people crashing into race control though. Might have to start using that big rope or the benvhes to try and stop it.

Peter

chris68nufc · #35 07-01-2009

What about Race control at the botom of the hall next to the slow sections??

I think the carpet there encouraged you to go faster, and hence more crashes near race control? When its slippy, you take your time, carpet, = full bore

N7ELA · #37 07-01-2009

Im getting loads of photos off mike next week for the new web site... Which reminds me what should we name it...???

Jarrowracing.co.uk or JORCR.co.uk..??? etc

gazc · #39 08-01-2009

great racing on tuesday, really enjoyed it and should be able to make a few more in the future. as for the jump i thought it was spot on (especially as i only have a stock motor in my b4!) but maybe some stutter bumps made from mats would be good too?

also anyone got a good setup for a b4 for wooden floor as i've only raced on carpet before...

dayxwalker · #40 08-01-2009

Gazc it's graig right ?
I am after a good setup to. The lads at the club are telling me silver spring rear and blue front but can I hell find any in stock online ! Also you need yellow mini spikes ! You had micro I think !
A fast servo will make a massive differance over a standard so get that sorted after the setup !
I am sure between us we can get the cars handing good
