smug git:p

Enjoy it while it lasts Dave ;-)

;) That's the plan!

Not whilst my brand new dBoots are anywhere near my car, the things look absolutely wicked, come in nice packaging aswell which is resealable... presumably so you can take your glued tyres off the wheels for storage after racing!? haha

We can all buy tyres Ed, but class doesn't come with a price tag.

If your planning on making the trip to Kidderminster then what better meeting to go to than this

Whilst the comments about Ledbury being a valuable testing place also then I could not agree more but there is a basic rule of thumb I follow "It's easier to tune grip out than to magic some out of nowhere" hence I prefer to do my initial testing on a lower and / or varied grip surface like Kidderminster.
Once you have a car that works at a place like Kidderminster it will work everywhere with just a minimal amount of tuning!

I really hope to get over to Ledbury for some of their other winter series rounds, especialyl as the track is insanely high grip even when soaking wet!

Who ever said Ledbury is bumpy needs to go to a few other places (Hinckley springs immediately to mind) as I can tell you as far as my big bore equiped Lazer is concerned Ledbury might as well be a bowling green :D

Hope to make it back to club in the next couple of weeks, time is sadly my enemy at the moment :(

Any buggies going tonight??? I'm hoping to be there but I have a shed load to get done first (both in life and the fact that neither car is built ATM!!)

I'm hopefully gona b rocking a buggy I'm sure John n a gd few other will be aswell

I'll be on Mad Monkey duty tonight

Good night ... we have to try and get the track out early next week so we can have the precious extra round :)

So who is up for buggies this Friday?

Adam and I will be back again :)

friday
 

i'll be there with the wingless mad monkey. Although the saturn 20Turn is embarrasingly slow :-( even with a gtx esc! What gear ratio should i try to get to? Currently i use kit spur 80T and pinion 23T with internal ratio of 2.6 = 9.04. Should i aim for around 7.5 with a 28t pinion?

Simon, I have no experience of that motor so can't help. I am showing up tonight with a 9.5 geared 7.8 if that gives you any indication. I might well find I drop a tooth or two as well from there if the track is tight as it is SO SO SO small.

Remember that you need to bring your car with the diff out so I can go through it with you as I promised. I am aiming to be on site for doors open but want to get involved with the track build too as it was really late before we got rolling last week.

@ RogerM,

I dismantled and rebuilt the diff last weekend and used non kit grease. I think the main noise is coming from the spur gear (seems to run a little off centre. When I tried to tighten the diff I had lots of screw movement so I doubt that sanding back the nut holder by 0.5mm has been detrimental. I'll bring the buggy tonight and if you get the chance you can have a go at setting the diff tension for me. :thumbsup:
Cheers

I feel proper up for 4 rounds tonight, Im actually gonna help put the track out, for real.
