abandon ship abandon ship........
this rats jumping overboard. to wet . lets get micro and race in my spare room....................................

Si Coe 19-09-2010 10:30 AM

Its still hammering down here, and the prevailing wind means I'm getting the weather before Bury does, so I think I'll stay home after all. No point getting stuff dirty!

I gather a few hardy (clinically insane more like) souls have gathered at the track. If things improve I'll bob over later, if I can be bothered....

Whiskers 19-09-2010 10:32 AM

So who is actually going down today just so I can make sure that we are still opening before I set off walking.

I sold my Micro T, but it did 30mph so probably a bit much for a back room. Little Chris is at the track, the fool! If you are feeling brave we can still go.

A good turnout
 
You missed a good day today.

wow! now im glad I didnt make the trek over :o

To quote Little Chris 'Well theres a few puddles on the straight, but you can drive round them.....'


I spent the afternoon trying to fit a Mamba micro pro and Dynamite C4 9200kV motor into a Taiyo hovercraft......

Unfortunately it seems that a 9200kV motor on 3S revs a lot more than a basic 280 sized motor on 6.0V, and the props weren't strong enough!

I've now scrapped my hovercraft idea and am researching Ekranoplans.....
