Wow, nice to see some interest in a Rally class. Great, should be good. I'm running my old HPI Focus shell on my Yokomo MR4-Rally, so hopefully it'll handle the brushless/LiPo power. Back in '98 when I bought it things were a little different! Think I have some Tamiya Rally Block tyres somewhere, and some of the Schumacher Yellow rally tyres.

I'm running my 6.5 just because it's the only motor I have, but I may turn the power down to save the drivetrain.

And yes Dave, 2WD or 4WD, it doesn't matter. That way if I snap a belt I'll still qualify!!!m

Would be good to see a few of them running around the track.

I plan to run my buggy, the old rally car I have is really a backup plan...

Is there usually time for someone to run in two classes, or is it way too hectic?

Rally wise all I have is a rather old TL01 with some basic upgrades like alloy oil filled shocks, sway bars, and adjustable camber links... Motor wise, I'd be going very very very slow brushed with it. So I'll be running last

Reg - superstox? Do they have a 15mm ride height and 190mm/200mm wide?

Cunawarit - running 2 classes is possible, but is a bit manic if you're marshalling 2 heats & racing 2 heats on a night with only 4 or 5 heats!

Hmm, well that didnt go to plan, seeing as I smashed the B-I-N button on a Tamiya FF03 Wonder if I can jack up the shocks and try to avoid wheelspinning all the front tyre tread away....

Well, bring it along and give it a run - the more the merrier.

Just out of curiosity, what tyres will you guys be running for the rally cars?

I still intend to be running my buggy, but just in case everyone running rally cars I'm leaning towards thinking that too much grip with narrow TL01, with a high ride height is a bad idea...

Anyone tried this? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/fastrax-...roducts/365690

Whatever's in the pit box. Probably either Tamiya/HPI Rally Blocks or equivalent treaded tyres. NO SLICKS! I wouldn't worry too much about grip roll - just choose some harder compound tyres to get it sliding around a bit.

In reality I think there'll only be 2-3 rally cars though.

Please note that nobody will be allowed to bring their equipment into the hall until the carpet has been laid down. We need to carpet the whole hall to prevent damage to the new sports floor hall so you will have to wait until the carpet is laid and taped.

Well, chassis for the rally car has been made (so the LiPos fit!), car has been re-built and the electrics installed. Will fire it up tomorrow evening to check everything works fine.

Only obvious problem at the moment is that my left rear shock is losing oil even when the car's not running. Dodgy o-ring seal. Just like a real Focus!
