Racing 13th

[dayxwalker]

It is on right ?
I am probs bringing a mate from work who has loads of 8th nitro but he's really liking the brushless stuff and seems really up for getting a buggy.

And my other mate who I used to race with back in the day has been up today with his 17 year old cougar 2 'works' and it still goes ok ! He's just ordered a lipo pack so he will be racing at jarrow next week ! Vintage style !

More members !

[chrispattinson]

Yep, can't wait for racing this week, I just need to remember my specs!

[racdeaf]

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Tyne & Wear
United Kingdom

own table & chairs needed?

12v or is 240v available?

[Dalla]

Chequered Flag,
All details are correct. There a few tables, but I would bring your own. Plenty of chairs though and 240V, although long extension are the order of the day.

racdeaf,

mini spikes on yellow or there has been some success with yellow full spikes!

See you tomorrow

[dayxwalker]

I might get some yellow full spikes to try as after watching my vintage 16year old footage of my cougar 2 it seemed to handle well on polished floors with long spikes !
I am struggling to find the right balance of oversteer to understeer with my b4

No one back then used anything but long spikes ?

[gazc]

my yellow mini pins on my b4 worked well on the carpet but all over the place on the wood last tuesday - got a set of yellow mini spikes to try tomorow, well as long as my wheels and foams turn up as phills models didnt have any!

tim - maybes full spikes on rear/mini spikes on front would work better for you???

[Mike Hudson]

I got some rear yellow compound full spikes only used once at york to bed them in alittle, £4 posted anyone?

[dayxwalker]

Gaz when we used to use full spikes you had to wear them in as when new they did not work to well ! But they used to last months ! We used to take them out on the concrete and give them some stick
You can see how they worked on my vintage videos in the northeast section both the cat and cougar 2 had them on indoors
I am thinking that the full spikes have a flat profile but the mini have a curved profile which in theory means the contact area is less ?

[chris68nufc]

Tim. The flat profile maybe the 2" version.Real old skool
Ive just ordered some 2.2" ones. They are the more round version. I will show you tomorrow.

[jimmiprice]

Ill probably be there 2moro, got a new car and gear to try out. Just waiting on some springs and stuff to come and im sorted !!

that's the plan,

but just found a dead EnerG 4600 in 6 cell pack, last used @ Xmas meeting

Tremendous turnout tonight. Loads of new faces watching which is a good thing also.

Track was good as always.

I dont know what the A Final was like to watch but driving in it was really fast. The standard of driving is getting better week in week out.

The A Final finished like this:

1. James Chappell 18/315.32 Pred
2. Jeff Steele 17/306.71 BJ4 WE
3. Neil Adamson 17/312.63 Tamyia
4. Greg Williams 16/300.52 Pred
5. Chris Pattinson 16/301.71 Tamyia
6. Chris Stewart 16/302.52 Cat SX
7. Robin Calvert 15/306.43 Cat SX
8. Phillip Showler 15/309.57 B44
9. Stephen Adams 5/101.73 Tamyia
