You're a disgrace! That lovely car deserves better treatment.
It'll serve you right if you get a seized bearing (or 24!).
LOL!

No, good driving and hope we've got one more race meeting before you head off.

Loved the "mounting of Jim" in the last race - epic!

I tell a lie, I also wiped the mud off the outside of the wheels.

That £80 Losi 6.5 Motor/ESC combo has done me proud! George asked if it had a 4.5 in it at one point :)

Yep that ZX5FS is one of my better eBay purchases!

Dan :cool:

Some pictures up now, of Round 6 at Stonehaven.

Great pics Ross (and whoever else took the ones when you were obviously in front of the camera!). :thumbsup:

If you promise to do the same again for next year, I'm sure you'd be excused marshalling duties! :lol:

Some great photos there.

I had a great time on Sunday. Nice to see old faces and meet new.

For my first time driving an rc car for 10 years, and 16 since driving an offroad car in a race I had some targets that I gradually changed throughout the day.

1st one was to not break it and finish all the races. (which I managed apart from popping a balljoint in practice)

This then moved on to not being marshalled in any of the heats (which I managed)

Then after Rnd 2 sitting 9th, My aim was to make the A. (Just scraped in after rd 3)

Then my target was not to finish last, which I managed (just)

Understandably off the pace despite consistent lap times. A bit much to expect it to be on the pace and I knew where I was too slow and although it felt quick enough I was being passed easily on the straight. Also as the track got faster I didnt.................

Much to improve for next time and for the full season next yr.

BTW for an oldie like me I love the personal transponders and the lipos and brushless remove so much of the guesswork.....Great stuff.

Cheers.
David

Dasbo, what happened to your car in the last race when it died?

Dan

Speedo went I think. Deffo not the same problem I've been getting as I still had steering and all lights were on. Its the only time I'll probably be happy about blowing a speedo.:bored:

Looking through the times from Sunday, your car was rapid - single fastest lap was up there with Ross and John, etc. I'd say just practice now, and get consistent. You'll have a real shout next year.

I've now posted all the laptimes etc from the meeting Sunday and if I can find some webspace, I'll generate and post my Laptime Analysis for the entire series.

Link will be added to this front page

Consitency is not my middle name. However, Crash-bang-wallop is.
