Wormtastic,this is looking great,keep at it folks :thumbsup:

Looking great Ade, the sooner my durga arrives the better! Mind you reckon the tamtech buggy champ could be fun on there

That wall of death was just what was needed....some proper welsh boy madness! :) Bendigedig Adrian!

Just got home now from being at the club all day. The Wall of death is now wider to help with coming down the ramp! had fun playing with the following cars on it:

Mardave V12
TA RC18R
Tamiya Avante MK2
Tamiya TT01 Tourer
Tamiya TT01 Drifter
TA B4

every car was ace and managed to reach the top of the ramp, even the Mardave with a bit of a run up!!

Going back to the club tomorrow again to build some low long ramps. and hopefully some down ramps for the other existing jumps. Maybe even a table top would be nice!

Keep you all posted

Is this all in the hall at the outdoor track near the kellogs factory?

If so, I've not stepped foot in there in years. The last time I was in there it was packed with people for a wedding reception or something and they had the boxing on the TV, think chris eubank was fight some welsh bloke.....and of cousre my bro was cheering for eubank....and getting some, not so nice looks from the welsh locals!! :lol:........so we left quickly when eubanks won.

:lol:

Looking good though.:thumbsup:

yup all in thelittle tiny hall so is it on this wednesday?

A

I don't think it's on until the 20th Feb.

I'm pretty sure of that.

Yup the 20th is correct, still got some work to do before we start racing. I want the track to be sorted and if we raced tonight it would not be right.

Well..

After a short moped trip to the club with racing gear on board!

I decided to try the wall of death, when taken properly is very very good and truly is a work of genius, when your me its rely rely bad.

When playing silly F***ers i decided to see if a 30ft long wall ride was possible resulting in the whole rear end being torn off, not good!

Then some zip ties and superglue later it was round 2 and this time tore the whole front end off!

Total broken today:

Front hub
Front c-hub
Front arm brace
Front shock tower
Front steering rack holder/front brace holder thingy
Graphite chassis
Rear drive shaft
Rear c mount
Rear hinge pin brace
Rear chassis piece

I MUST stress it isn't a car killer just i was doing extremely extremely stupid jumps.

Hope to see you all there and pics to follow.

As matty seems to be able to break anything ever made got to ask is the wall of death still standing:lol:

Yup wall of death 1- Mr Brown 0-

May i be rude and ask whom you are?

Bodgit?

Matt

I'm more concerned with the blatant use of Win-blows XP.

Get a real OS like Ubuntu for crying out loud. Best thing is that it's free and it works.

You must have been going full tilt on some crazy angle to cause that kind of damage....well done!

Yes he was! he even ripped the old fire alarm off the wall! As usual with Mr Brown its flat out all the time. He is not happy unless he breaks it.

isnt the firealarm about 8 foot off the floorAttachment 1935

Well actually i do use kubuntu!

But xp as a back up,

Its not my computer its the family one so has to be "special person" friendly.

It WILL be fixed for wedneday.:D:D:D:D

Matt

It sure is! the ramp is over 6ft the roof is about 10ft maybe a bit more. He aint hit the roof yet! I did on the old ramp which was 3ft high using my B4 needless to say it bounced off the roof and broke a front arm :thumbsup:

The new banked corner wall of death was never designed to hit flat out, you need to learn how to drive it and then slowly build up your speed. Go too fast though and you will over shoot the downramp (Which goes along the wall 15ft). Bit of practice and you can easily achieve a satisfying 10ft wall ride!!!

i'll be there on the 20th Ade,
my brother told me how Matt Brown distroyed another b4.
is it still ok for me to have a go of your avante on the night mate
i'll take the drifter round it tonight:drool:,

ill defo b there next wednesday ade

will also be attending tonight with the b4 and dub

see you later :thumbsup:

You sure can borrow the Avante!!

Erm, should this really be in this bit of the forum? :confused:

I've moved the D4 post into the for sale forum, but forgot to leave a re-direct. oops!

Right ok, the day is near and I need to do some final preperations at the track ready for our first night of racing.

Here is the plan, from 6pm I shall be at the club on the TUESDAY night where I/WE will be relaying the track and ramps. There is going to be:

Me
Matt Bailey
David bailey (Maybe)
anyone else who can help out

this will also involve a little play to ensure the track flows correctly and the ramps are positioned correctly.

if anyone would like to help out and have a sneeky little play then please come along I will be their from 6pm till about 9pm.

I just hope people enjoy themselfs on Wednesday evening and come back each week then when the outdoor track is finished in May we have members to play outside:thumbsup:

would love to come and have a play but they are inducing the wife into labour on wednesday night (no honest ) may pop down for a quick look as she will be in wrexham hosptial

good luck with the night hope all goes well for you

Whats the postcode?

and what time does booking in/practice start?

want to see how easy it would be to get to

thanks

Hi the postcode is LL13 9JU, we are on the Wrexham industrial estate opposite Kellogs. I will be their from 5:30 and racing starts at 7. Looks like it will be a good turn out. When the outdoor track is finished we will move straight out!!!!

Right I am finishing work now, I am going up to the club from here so I see any of you their to sort the track out! If you dont come tonight for a play then I shall see you all tomorrow night!!!

Just getting the car ready Adrian.

Loads of the people I persuaded to come along and dropping out for various reasons. Shame, but can't be avoided for some.

I'm still coming anyway and looking forward to it.

By the way, do you have power?

And are you setup for AMB personal transponders?

Thanks.

there's plenty of power points in the club,and yes pt are catered for as ade himself uses one.
just got to rebuild my car and i will be there too.

Ok...great!

Are the power points in the room next to the track as usual?

And are the benches still there, so no need to bring a pit table?

Sorry for the massive barrage of questions, but finally, is it 7pm start / practice or get-in? Trying to plan my way around traffic from Warrington that's all.

Yes we have sockets all round the room and their are pit benches in place. The only benches without power are in the middle of the room.

All you need to bring is your race gear.

I have laid the track out this evening which can be tweeked on the night depending on what people think. This is my first track I have laid so it might need changing slightly.

See you all tomorrow!!

PS: Doors open when I get their at 5:30 and racing starts at 7pm. People can book in from when I open the doors.

thats friggin ace, wish i lived in wrexham, and i had a teacher whose intersted in rc cars!

I am currently sat in a year 7 Database lesson waiting for luch at 12:25 and cannot wait for tonight!!:thumbsup:

Right ok, If any of you coming tonight get stuck or lost and need to phone somebody to ask directions then anyone can phone me after 3:30 today

My number is : 07971325598

PS if you are coming tonight but will be later than 7pm and still want to race then phone me and I can book you in.

Well just got back from Wrexham and have got to say it was a good laugh. Great job everyone. :woot:

Will definitely come back at some point, and really looking forward to the completion of the outdoor track. 45m x 35m is a great space to have - you lucky Wrexham folk!

Here's some action shots - pretty crap quality sorry.

Can I just say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who attended!!!

After tonight from speaking with people, we are going to have another building weekend! We are HOPEFULLY going to build a table top and a double ramp which will be a substantial size!!

Everyone seemed to have fun especially playing on the new WALL OF DEATH!

The response from people was they are going to come back next week for more fun.

See you all next week!

Well after coming down to the race night for drifters on friday and trying my buggy champ on wall of death I have to say its stunning cant wait for 5th March when i can make it.

Have to say the alarm sensor is in a daft place (only a few feet above the planking LOL) I now have a bust buggychamp:thumbsup:

looks a really good track might look at trying it 1 day its a bit far tho:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Matt Bailey and myself built a new ramp on Saturday ready for this Wednesday. The new ramp is 8ft long and 6'6 wide and looks like a double with a kicker on the on ramp and a landing ramp.

Dont forget buggy racing is every Wednesday!!!!
