So ive been reading:thumbdown: Real shame as it would have been fun with another 4wd car on track :eh?:

Dudders 17-10-2011 11:45 AM

Yup, extremely poor, as you know, takes a lot to rile me Duncan :). I'll bring the dog down on Thursday so you can have a look.

Biting the bullet npw and going new, something I should have done in the first place really :yawn:

Dr_UpGrade 17-10-2011 05:12 PM

Hi Neil,
I can make it this week too... Let me know if you still need hands to help prep... I might also have a few extra jumps (well one jump!) to see if you want to include it.. (will need covering with some carpet but, if I get it finished, I'll bring it along)...

Streeter 17-10-2011 05:15 PM

I'll be there for around 6.15 so if theres anything still to do i'll give you a hand.

focusmad 17-10-2011 05:37 PM

Mate can made before 6 if that helps

We got carpet! . What have you got and more importantly will it go on the back of your bike?

i'm looking at nitro cars as we speak:p

Dr_UpGrade 17-10-2011 08:12 PM

Hey Neil,
Had a few bits of spare thick plywood and some old spare cut offs of decking, so out came the jigsaw and made a few (one for starters) of those kicker jumps I've been going on about... Just have to get some thin ply to cover them with and jobs a good'un!
:thumbsup:

Be good to see how it works when covered in carpet!

Then I can (if wanted) make a few more different ones with whats left of the cut offs!

jlucas 17-10-2011 08:42 PM

Massive table top please

Dr_UpGrade 17-10-2011 08:50 PM

Lets see how far the cars fly on the one I've got set up for now - taht is if/when I get the thin plywood! Its about 3x car height, with a nice swept kicker lip to it and then I've got enough to certainly make one 5-6x car height..). So things could get quite airbourne!!

All we have to do is try and find something suitable for longer landing ramps and see where we place them! I wqas thinking of some 'simple' basic triangle ramps for landing again with whats left of the thin plywood on them to help cushion the landing... Suck it and see a bit I reckon...:D

Dudders 17-10-2011 08:57 PM

Bring what you have as we have all the ramps from the old RC Arena... lots of ply covered in carpet...

Dr_UpGrade 17-10-2011 09:07 PM

Will do! Just hope the car lasts longer this week too! I wanna play on the jumps!! Will try to get there as early as I can too to help sort out setting up the ramps... (inc gluing/tacking down the carpet on my jump)...:)

Deano577 17-10-2011 09:08 PM

Here's one for all you ramp builders

Dr_UpGrade 17-10-2011 09:14 PM

LOL, but we don't have a tree to jump thru' indoors!!!! (but I do like it for next season outside!!!!)

RobW 18-10-2011 08:29 AM

Neil

Just to confirm - there is 240v power and chairs/tables available?

Planning to come up this Thur and then come up with Jack on the 27th -school half term so no problem with a late night for him:thumbsup:

Cheers

Rob

Hi matey,

Yes, power no problem, plenty of chair and tables :thumbsup:

Be good to see you up... Fastrax tyres maybe? :D

We're not running half term as I am away, sorry :cry: Bring him this week.... he'll only need to get through one school day without falling alseep :thumbsup:

RobW 18-10-2011 09:22 AM

Thanks, Neil

Yes, need to get some practice both driving indoors and with Fastrax tyres:D

I'll have to come up with another plan for getting Jack some indoor carpet running before the MK GP - not sure if I can persuade the missus to let me keep him out until 11.30 on a school night - she has the job of getting him up in the mornings and for some reason does not understand how important model car racing is :confused:

Cheers

Rob

lol Mine doesn't seem to understand this either.:woot:

Dudders 18-10-2011 05:01 PM

Lino has been purchase for some more slippy stuff as it went down so well last time. This stuff will be polished when first laid and left like it for a few weeks at a time. The shiny board can be used in other places...

Also have some cardboard rolls to roll the carpet up on at the end of a nights racing.

Excited!!! Can we start tonight :thumbsup:

jlucas 18-10-2011 05:39 PM

no Not more slippery polished stuff! That's my kryptonite! ;)

Dudders 19-10-2011 03:02 PM

You love it!.... James Rumble said if I get the lino shiney enough he'll throw some ill shapes on it afterwards :thumbsup:

Got some other bits and bobs today..... should be fun tomorrow... just hope the foam arrives in time :woot:

All: We'll be doing 3 heats and 2 finals for all tomorrow, so those who like to go early get a final in and then have the choice to stay/go.

TARTMAN 19-10-2011 04:15 PM

Let me know in the daytime tomorrow if your foam doesnt arrive I may have some 4 inch thick acoustic foam at work you can use temporarily :thumbsup:

Dr_UpGrade 19-10-2011 06:39 PM

just sent some 'cr@ppy' phone pics of my ramp to Dudders... She ain't pretty but I think you'll all enjoy the flight!!

(hopefully!) Still if mark 1 doesn't work I can see what I can do for mk2!!:thumbsup:

Hi all, planning on racing tonight for my first time at SHRCCC. I see on your site the postcode is GU9 9LG, I assume this is for the outdoor track, but I gather the indoor is on the same site, is this right?

Yes, same site, the building is a little further along lower weybourne lane than the postcode tells my sat nav though, your looking for a sea cadet building next to the fishing club.
only 1 building on the site so you cant miss it :thumbsup:

Alternatively go on google maps (93 lower weybourne lane) in satellite view, thats the building your looking for!
