just got 1 of the above back under life time warranty and it didn't even get wet :o :wtf:

if its the LRP Quantum , they go the other way ,the insides just melt in the hot weather ...:rolleyes: i saw 2 go at bury ...

just a shame it isnt southwell proof :rolleyes:

What you doing wit a touring car speedo!! :o :p

Did the same from 93 to late 90's and enjoyed it.

But I guess I've been spoilt by racing 12th for 6 years now.

Still the esc can get wet indoors if you spill your drink on it:D :D :D

He's a secret touring car lover! :o

Mtroniks IP6, not blown one since i got my hands on em, and anyone who knows me from last year thats a bloody good record for me! Niggs started calling me boomer at the end of the season :D
The guts is put in a case and it's then just siliconed in place, no chance of water integration, nevermind with them being uber powerful.

Maaan, 12th is so much more civilised!

Warmth, electricity, tables provided... they even schedule in a LUNCH BREAK!

Erm.... mine died in the rain at Kiddy! I'm pretty sure it was the IP6 I had in...

Thankfully it dried out again.

Nah man, I aint risking a blown speedo I njust shelled £180 out for, its taken me weeks to save for it and I still owe another £45 on it.
I like the idea of racing indoor at teesside saturday!

Sunday to :) but I doubt it'll happen :(

Aye, they wont do it. Sunday is meant to be better but knowing us itll be just as bad.
Dont see why, Id certainly rather race in a warm indoor race where the grips there than outdoors in the rain, freezing with blown speedos everywhere. people were angry at kiddy supposedly and I think it could be avoided, but, thats my view.

When I said I didn't have a waterproof (resistent) ESC - that doesn't mean I'm not up for racing in mad conditions. It's a good laugh is a mudbath.

Not the receiver then like 99% of other people :D If it was the speedo ill push bathy in a bush.

Just a reminder, it is an open feild we will be running in, so there won't be any puddles to go splashing through. And I would know i have been could out there for about half an hour, in terential rain trapped under a couple of trees in the middles of the feild.:)

Good times.:D :D :D

Anyway, i will be going down no matter if it raining a bit. an dit will will not be that eaisy for me to just pack up and leave as my mum is dropping me off, and will have to come and pick me up. It helps that i only live in Ingleby Barwick though.;)

I did the speedo one right, then the receiver the next!

Looks like Bathy's going in a bush...!

Yeh, and people were angry at Bury the weekend after when the fianls were abandoned due to standing water on the track. You can't please all the people all of the time :mad: :mad: :mad:

G

no you cant but is it better to race 2 less rounds or blow up a £150 speedo.
Im simply stating what I would like to do, not forcing my opinion on anyone

At the end of the day you have to make your own call on the weather.

If you don't want to run in the wet then don't. And don't listen to the people who say you're soft because of it.

I know that I can't afford to replace the speedo and receiver in my cars. If other people can, or if getting one more set of scores is worth more than the cost of a speedo to them then leave them to it!

I made the mistake of running at the Batley regional last year, simply because I had driven so far I thought I should give it a try.

Thankfully my electronics survived, but I totally cooked one motor, failed to finish all but one of my races, drove home with jeans soaked up to my crotch, and had a thoroughly crap time!

So now I don't run in the wet. I race RC for fun, getting soaked to the skin and blowing stuff up is not my idea of it!
