Ive got myself a cheap TL-01 chassis too..... hopefully delivered tomorrow so when i do come down i'll be running in this too!!!:p

I would think so, :thumbsup: just add a rally shell and soften up the suspension a bit, and a set of rally style tyres :thumbsup: not sure what we will be running yet but Schumacher rally blocks are readily available ....

CML do a really cheap set of rally tyres.

The TC3 had a rally kit what you buy seperatley to turn into a rally car, not sure about a kit for the TC4..............

anyone got any ideas about the TL-01?? Is that easy enough to convert too??

Got one and think there pretty good, simple design easy to fix and cheap for spares :)

About £8.50 for a set of 4 on wheels!

Just bought myself a Xray T1r in good nick for £50 :woot:

and a HPI Focus shell to sit on it .....

Just gotta dig out my old SC10 radio gear and my Tekin 10.5 motor and we're ready to rumble ..... :thumbsup:

Well my 6r4 shell appears to have got lost in the post :cry:

Gutted that woulda been awesome pete:o

My new weapon is en route, its an escort cosworth lol:woot::woot:
Just need to order some rallyblock tyres for the tl01 chassis and were good to go:D
Was gonna get the lancia shelll to go on it then saw the price...... £50 :wtf:

Whens the first round then:thumbsup:

I think we may be able to trial it once we are guaranteed a decent heatful, but we can have a chat tonight

run my tto1 tonight with worn white rally blocks was ok cleared the jump with ease when i hit it right:woot:

on the tl-01 chassis then.... ive got the original mechanical speed controller. please tell me this is removable and can be replaced with an esc!!! the motor on the car is fine and the battery is fine too.. just need to get myself a handset now and i'll be ready to rumblee the next time im able to come down there!!!

yes u can remove the old esc what shell u runing? Attachment 27353

No one's running rallycross yet I'm afraid!

Not sure when we're going to be ready to trial this at the moment as the majority of people are just starting to get organised.
Quick role call of interested people seems to be:
hit5005 - Audi Quattro
peetbee - Metro 6R4
jackor33 - Escort Cosworth
John Howe?? - Focus WRC
Royston - mk1 Escort
mrspeedy - Focus WRC/Impreza
Dyna ?? - 911
Teaboy ?? - Escort
matisse - Impreza
sunbeam - once we get someone to produce a sunbeam shell! :D

I think we should have some rules for this - how about:
1) car must resemble a rally car - no touring car shells!
2) tyres - rally style so that we can have a bit of sideways action!
(Fastrax FAST0074W rally tyres are only £8.50ish for a set of 4 on wheels

Also dependent on how many racers we have, you may or may not be able to run in other classes on the same night as the rallycross trial night - I'd like to maintain a minimum of 3 rounds of qually plus finals for everyone at club. If we have too many heats it makes it difficult to achieve. Hope you all understamd and are happy with this.

so would there be a limit on motor size too?? the use of lipo's etc..... or is it just a free for all as long as the shell is a rallycross type?

Let's keep it simple, it's only for fun after all!
Apart from rules above it's a free for all!

pete,

you can take me off the list for the time being fella.... i cant see me getting down there for a considerable time now as i just never seem to have the time anymore....

i'll do my best and will have to see what hapens but cant promise anyhing and cant commit to anything either..

ta!

but good luck with everything and i hav to admit the rallyx does look and sound awesome...

just one other suggeston though... maybe you could be on the lookout for some additional track surfaces for the rallycross series... something easy to lay down over the top of the carpet/flooring just for the rallycross event.... like some old felt from a shed roof or something like that.... just for the added fell of multiple surfaces....

just my 2p worth though...

cheers for update, hopefully you'll be able to race with us sometime in the future.
I think everyone would agree that we have enough changes of surface on our standard tracks!

2006 wrc subaru be alright? or is it not vintage enough? :)

No rules about it having to be a vintage rally car, so that'd be perfect!:thumbsup:

BTW my shell has arrived!

:o cool ....

are you having it pro painted ? and what like ?

just noticed ... the poll now reads 12 for and 12 against !!!! that's pretty much a win for rallycross then !!

I'd also like to add that the Mini bodied Sharks are also eligable for this ....

It's with DCM to be painted Computervision style, always liked Tony Pond plus the decals that are supplied are for that car!!:lol:

Hey it'll look good on the shelf whilst it's not being run

13 people for.... now lets see how many actually race :p

3 probably Bill! :(
Still we can always share track time with the trucks:o

Mines built and ready to go...... so that 2 of us :thumbsup:

Just need to make a battery strap, or might just use tape like usual :p

Then just need my bodyshell, think it's the same guy delivering as Pete's shell !!!!

Mines arrived today just need to check it all over and give it a shakedown run friday maybe:thumbsup:
So we are up to 3 deffos and a load of maybes lol:p:woot:

Performance
 

Lol just tried out the beast and was amazed at the LACK of performance:eh?:

So with full peaked 3000 nimhs, the mtroniks viper esc endpoints reset and matching 15x2 motor cleaned and brushes checked the get up and go is somewhat lacking last place here i come!!! pmsl:lol::lol:

Hmm maybe the 10.5 or 13.5 brushless setup needs to go in it otherwise i may not clear the jumps:p

Excellent, I love the idea of these all struggling round on brushed motors! It's looking good there Dave :thumbsup:
Mine will be running an old LRP speedo (I don't think reverse will turn off!) plus some elderly 19t brushed motors!
I still haven't built my car yet tho, I think Steve will have finished the shell before I get chance!:o

What shell did you go for in the End Si?

I just remembered i have one or two brand new TA02 touring chassis in the loft, fully kitted out with period TRF parts... that would do as a chassis... :thumbsup:

That mint, new 911 bodyshell i have is the old 'converted buggy' type and is very wide.... too wide for converted tourers...

So i need a new shell.

I do remember, years back, that someone did a MK3 Escort RS Turbo/XR3i shell that fitted 1/10 tourers... and as ive always owned Mk3 Escorts and still own three, i really ought to track one of these old shells down to use...

Can anyone remember who made them, and if anyones got one still kicking around ?

I had a parma sierra rs500 in castrol livery on my converted optima mid custom way back in the day:thumbsup: god i loved the huge whaletail on it aswell:wub

Yes, my 911 is the original 80's Parma shell and i remember the RS500 shell too :wub

I still want to run a Mk3 escort shell though... :D

I used to have a mk3 shell in black :woot: on a Sand Scorcher chassis ...

But I can't flippin' remember who made !!!

im still determined to get something sorted..... just trying to sort our a base car first then get something sorted shellwise....

waiting for a few people to get back to me with offers...

sounds awesome what everyone has got..... i reckon you should put some pics up to show us what you got... and maybe encourage a few more people....

Shell's painted:woot:
Just got to collect it and sort the car out!

Matt, I think that you may struggle with that one - I do like the way that it is no surprise to people that you have cars in the attic that you've forgotten about! Just how many cars do you have?!

Me and the kids will be doing some RallyX at COBRA, Tamiya TA05's and a TB03 will be in use, team paint jobs, may well be Subaru route...

A lot.... God alone knows what else is up in the loft ive forgotton about as well :blush:

Now, i still need a Mk3 escort shell... if not, something a bit different....

Just dug out my old yokomo mr_4 rally but the rear diff dead.

John, I spotted someone on MSUK selling one of those posted for £25, could be worth it for spares?

LOL @ Matt - you need to take a look up there, you may find a suitable shell!
