I'm having to be patient till next Sunday. Need to get the winter and wet clothes out of the loft.

Dave, how is the D4 and did you get a motor sorted?

Any reply to if we can?

Yes is the answer :)

Ace. it does look bad for tomoro. weather I mean. :(

Good job I am already busy!

Fingers crossed for next weekend ;)

D4 was fine. The motor was quick, maybe too quick for the conditions. Had the wrong tyres too on the back. Had yellow spikes and should of gone for pins. I should be there next weekend if the weather is good, working tomorow. Looks like a washout tomorrows anyway i am sad to say

yellow pins all round for me worked a treat, it's good to see your D4 on track. the more 4wd's the better :thumbsup:

wonder when someone will turn up with a b-max ? or maybe the new D4 b10......

would be interesting to see how these cars would do on our bumpy track

Yeah, i like my B4, but the D4 i sstill my choice. I enjoy the way you can be more aggressive with 4WD
The new D4 B10?????????????????????????

Not sure it's in the shops yet, think it's called the D4 b10. basically it's a plastic D4.

the weather
 

looks like rain stops play today ,7.30 am and its very wet keeping fingers crossed for next week.

yes lets hope next week is better, the track is more entertaining when wet but not when it's falling from the sky too !

with weather now changed for the winter maybe it's tents from now on:o

with the withdrawal symtoms already kicking in I will be chomping at the bit for racing next week so it had better go rain somewhere else........

I'll be there next week, but may well buy a tent next week :D with winter coming!

Steve and I will be running Cat SXs

Will anyone be running 2wd in the coming weeks? Or is everyone switching to 4wd for the winter?

Hi,

There will still be a number of 2WD runners. I'll bring my XXCR along anyway, but I think a number of us move to 4WD when the summer season comes to a close.

Overall I reckon the 2WD numbers will still be greater than the 4WD

Regards,

Mike

i will be there as its my only car my car is the orange b4

Cool, I'm planning to come down on the 15th, i need to get up early to get there, what time should i arrive? it takes about an hour and 10 to get there, maybe quicker earlier in the morning tho. And how will i know if it will defo be on, can i text someone or will anyone log on here early enough to let me know.
Cheers Neil

How many of you have pts?

Randall pm me and I'll give you a contact number

I have an MRT pt. :thumbsup:

Weather permitting are you racing this weekend?

yes, it was bad enough missing last weekend due to the weather. can't miss another.

have you got your MRT pt?

Should be delivered this week, but if it isn't I'll just use the AMB PT from the Losi.

Weather isn't looking good all week, so I'm not holding my breath for Sunday.

PM'd Mikey,
i have a PT, is your system running now?

Julian is testing it at the moment and hopefully this weekend will be the first weekend we'll use it. So pending how well it goes I can see us using it the following week.

For those that are regulars at the club, if you have a PT can you message me the number so I can try and get it added to the timing software. Just trying the software out on my laptop to try and assist Julian. Lighten the load etc.

mmm :(

The Cat certainly won't be having heat issues from now on

Time to get some mini pins for the Cat

the weather again does not look good :(

http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/11

but it still might change, if it is only going to be showers there is a chance we can still get some racing done. ;)

I have new body shells on the way to use through the winter and will have various top quality sticker sheets to do designs from.

So if people are getting new shells for the winter I will be offering a painting and stickering service at very reasonable prices for people who race at TORCH.

They will be a minimum or three colours and will have a racing look to the design.

You supply the body shell and I will do the rest. :thumbsup:

Yellow mini pins work a treat as people who were there two weeks ago will have seen my Tamiya win all but one race............yes a Tamiya! :p

Was that the week Steve wasn't there :p

Last time I ran mini pins I had grip roll in the wet :(

Typical Saturday is the good day again

Yes you are right Mike, it was only cos Steve wasn't there but it does show how good a Tamiya can be when set up correctly. :)

Saturday does look like it will be the better day weather wise but if as it says just showers on the Sunday, it just might be worth taking the chance and getting up and goind to the track and racing inbetween the showers.

I suppose we all will have to wait and see on the day.;)

Good that the car went well though :)

I'll head up there on Sunday morning and see what happens.

the weather is now looking much better for Sunday.:thumbsup:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/11

how is the new timing system looking?

Fingers crossed..

Not sure as I haven't heard from Julian. I'll be fitting my PT anyway and I think whatever happens the loops need to laid, protected and then tested.

Sunday on the met office site is looking ok now :)

My MRT PT has arrived :D

Also tyre choice back up in the air....

weather looks much better

tyres, dry blue mini spike, damp yellow mini spike, wet yellow mini pin - well for me anyway.

I will try to get there for half 8.

Accuweather looks ok. Very wet at the moment :(

Well done people for a good days racing all be it pretty cold and yucky.

Can ALL people who are racing at Titchfield please PM what crystals they use and if you are using 2.4GHz the make etc.

Also for those that haven't PM'd me and have Personal Transponders can you PM me the numbers please as I am getting the driver database populated.

Also the names of the cars you run? I think I have most cars, but I am sure I have missed some.

Agreed good days racing, think it is going to take all week to get the mud off!

Tell me about it, I never ran the B4 in muddy conditions, so don't know how sealed it is. With the amount of much today the XXCR is definately going into hibernation until Spring.

The Cat SX inside held up very well.

great racing
 

had a good mornings racing the track was very challenging for me today,
but great fun

Many thanks to Jimmy, TORCH now have a section in the club area.

Just need to produce a clear and concise sticky about the club.

Yes it was a good days racing, myself and mike had some really good wheel to wheel racing in one heat.:)

the track was slippy but great fun, 4wds rule in this weather.:p

it is good to see the 4wd numbers comimg up, you know what you need to do! ;)

lets hope the weather holds and we can have some more top racing next week.:thumbsup:
