Please speak up if your interested, just think will make a even better day our for racers.

Steve

I have two tickets!!!!
Also could you put some of your set up tips into the raffel!!!!

Yup hope it's not a fluke! Shame it's so f'ing ugly..

Dean, any advise on set up is free :thumbsup: but from what Ive seen your progress since returning to racing is great and only a matter of time before you will want to try and mid motor car.

I'm willing to donate a race with any or my cars for the raffle :lol: Just don't break it :cry:

Raffle on race day sounds a great idea, yep, we've got stuff we'd put in.

Free ticket or two for each entry and then £1 a ticket. Draw it at lunch time!

I would say aye for a a raffle, at least i would have a chance of winning something, as i've got no hope of winning any races.

Getting to drive one of Steve's cars - i would defo buy some tickets.

Neil, you just need to get down and race a little more often, how was your car on sunday?

The car was great, its me thats the problem, you are right - i need to get down south and race more.

Although, despite having a new SP GT 2.1 EX speedo and a V3 6.5, it still seemed to labour along the back straight. It is no where near as quick as your TLR22 with the same motor, my batteries are 5000mah 30c and the gearing is 81/23. Would this be why?

Gearing looks about right mayby a 76 may help? The set up of speedo on the 2.1 maybe different to the GT Pro version Im using, so worth having a search around for what others are doing, also how old are your lipos and any tranny settings that could be slowing the car down.

Bear in mind I cooked a motor on Sunday:(, due to over gearing the stupid thing:blush:, so will be looking at playing with gearing more and more.

ThAnks steve it's great to be back after twenty odd years
c u Sunday if your there

I wont be making it.

You have to feel sorry for me really, no RC, but Lei is taking me abroad for 3 nights for my Birthday to a surprise location, all bought and paid for:thumbsup:;).

Have good time Lionel :-)
I can't make either.

I hope to be there again, but plan on leaving the gremlins at home.
Have now fixed my steering issues (famous last words). Car was running great up and down the road yesterday. Damn kerbs! New shell will be back by then also. Can't wait.

What have you changed re the servo?

Looking forward to it... just finished sorting the Mad Rat ready for a shake down this Sunday - much as I enjoy running the 'Rango it's too much stress at the moment.

Some photos of the A Final 4WD
 

I took some pics on my phone, here are some from the A Final 4WD, Mark and Steve's Tamiyas.

More pics of SteveB's Tamiya
 

More pics of Steve in the last A Final. Check out the ones with the turnbuckle missing and the rear CVD hanging out, 3WD.............

Would love to come down and race but clashes with 8th National :(

Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!! can now make this date :thumbsup:

Another Clanfield day in the sun!:thumbsup:

Just realised that I can’t make this one :(

tut tut - excuse better be a good one ;) !

Can't make it to round 2 of the summer series as I'm off to Spain for a long weekend with everyone from work(around 40 people),flights and hotel(5*) paid by work!. Should be a right laugh but unfortunate that it clashes with the summer series!!!!.

It's all a bit quiet on here:bored:

Do we have any new drivers for round 2? Remember, everyone is welcome irrespective of ability. Round 1 saw some very close racing throughout all the finals with several finals won on the last corner.

Gave Losi a couple of runs yesterday afternoon and all seems fine until a quick downpour put paid to any more running. Think I'll run it next week. Anyone want to buy an X6?

Long range weather forecast currently says cloudy with 10% chance of rain - we'll be fine:D

Rob
