Racing - Sunday 6th March 2011

[mikeyscott]

Hopefully some better weather this weekend, even though we managed to get some decent qualis last weekend

I was tempted with EPR on the 6th, but TORCH is SO good I can't say no!

Loving the astro.

My thoughts too and EPR is such a long way away. I'm on the fence at the mo, but 40% EPR and 60% TORCH. Haven't been to EPR for almost a year though.. Durango 410R at EPR would be good, but the chassis wouldn't love me.....

It's a silly early start and fuel getting there ££££

That's not really a reason to not go racing!!!

I have finally got my new SP GT2.1 EX Pro speedo after a 5 week wait. Just need to plumb it all in (with the savox and V3 motor i just bought too).

So the CAT will be needing an outing very shortly.

The wife's birthday is this sunday so it won't be the 6th. (That is a reason). But the 13th is looking good.

With all the chat going on here from the torch people it is looking like the club is becoming the place to be at the moment.

I am really looking forward to racing this Sunday with all whats going on in 4wd and Simon trying out some boots on his rango.

I have missed the past few weeks due to it being half term and having my little one stay with me.

My car is prepped and I am busting to get back on track.

Anyone who has any questions ref the triple jumps which are coming very soon please come over and have a chat.

Looking forward to it too, was heading to EPR but that's an expensive trip. So saving the pennies for Stotfold mid south regional round 1.

[MrMagoo]

Should be good. Off to Wylie's tonight to get most of the 'Rango sorted. Now just waiting on a replacement servo saver post, balls and ball cups, and a smaller spoectrum Rx as there's not a lot of space in there.

Failing that it'll be 2wd with the Ansmann again.

Whatever, here's hoping for some good weather.

[mikeyscott]

Get stuck re ball cups give me a shout as I have spares.

[Crazy L]

Clarkie's gone 4wd? WTF, with a Durango too, they're getting common now.

I'm hoping to be down this weekend, for a bit* of banter, some 4wd action, and to pick up my brca gumf. Depends purely on the weather mind.

See you there.






*based on amount of piss taking, amount can go up as well as down, subject to terms and conditions. Your home is at risk if it gets bombed by religious fanatics, always read the label, if you can read.

[super gripper]

rango's common, cor blimey u can tell we are in the south

if you can make it old bean that will make three Tamiya's plus Steve's flying Tamiya

[simoncrabb]

Durangos are cheaper than Tamiya!

[mikeyscott]

Durango 410R is good value and only a few extras needed.

Weather is suppose to be good, but chilly this weekend. Looking forward to a drier track!

With the better weather on its way hopefully soon, dry set ups are next on the cards.

If shuey blues are still giving grip roll is there a harder tyre people know of ?

I would think the Fastrax turf rippers are like shuey yellows so too soft.

its a shame shuchmacher do not make the red compound anymore

Grip roll?? I haven't got grip roll issues with yellows...

Summer Series may be control tyre due to the help of a large UK manufactuer - TBC so I'd work on the Schumacher tyre dry setups

Unfortunately yes, they are. Whilst perusing the internerd, I was pondering the following dilemma thus: TRF502x or DEX410R.

Then I give myself a slap, and try to decide it's better off being spent on a nice titanium exhaust for my bike.

Dilemma, surely not Lionel. It's gotta be a 502!!!!! SteveB also got one so will be v.helpful with setup.

You can't leave the Tamiya brotherhood

Sounds like a threat, I can almost almost hear Al Pacino telling me the same thing.

I thought Browner had a 511.

Showtime, how come you dont come down and show us how to break B4 front ends?

"He's got both!!! Take a look on Sunday and I'm sure you'll order one."

All said in the my best Italian accent, which to others sounds more like Welsh

He's got a 511 & 502 that's it.

I've got one Durango and that's it... SX3 ordered though, so the durango will run at the stotfold regional and then be swapped. Still like my Schumacher cars.

Done some tweaks to the durango, so who knows how it'll go this week.
