Moto Arena THANK YOU !!
 

thank you for a good night i must say well done to matt he has worked hard and i for one will be down there helping him out ready for next weeks racing :thumbsup:

Sounds great. I was considering it but funds still do not allow trips like that at the moment. One day normal service will be resumed!

Yeah thanks to all at the moto-arena. The racing was excellent fun, the food was awesome.

I thought what we had in terms of the jumps and rumble strips was really good. Some more rumble sections, jumps and a chicane on the straight then it'll be a top venue.

My mate has some footage of the racing so I will add a link when I have it.

TOP NIGHT, CANT WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK!!!!

Yeah, Spot on night got loads of potential and well done to moto arena and all involved. This could be the next big place for indoor buggy racing.

moto arena.....
 

yeah it was a good night and can only get better,see you next tuesday lads.....
:woot:

Sorry to have missed this but unfortunately yesterday turned into a 17 hour working day :o

What tires work? Will definitely try to get over soon.

tyres.......
 

last night it was all about the foams..........everyone will be buying a set after a certain tamiya 4wd dominated last night.......:D

I ran my 511 with bald green minispikes on, which was ok, however when Alec let my have a go with his car it was like it was on rails.

Does anybody know where to get a set of foams from? Ideally trued ready to bolt on.

Foams will definitely be the way to go given the mix of tarmac, carpet and wood, however...

I think unless foams are available trued & glued for a decent price it would be worth considering a 'rubber tyres only' rule. Requiring people to prepare rims and glue/true foam tyres will be a good way to kill this racing, as it's a messy job and requires tyre lathes, adaptors etc.

Here are some foamy threads:

I've got a massive box sat here under my desk full of Foam Tyres trued and glued to Schumacher Wheels (Old style Cat 2000, 2000EC, 3000)

If anyone can make use of them please feel free to make me an offer and take them off my hands as they're in the way anyway.

foams..............
 

foams aint cheap and are a messy job and depending on the compound can wear out real quick........maybe the rubber tyre rule is the way forward.......hell what do i know i cant even finish a without breaking me car.......anyone wanna buy a cat sx 2 only 5 weeks old.......think its time for a kyosho........and i want a short course truck if anyones got 1,call me 07780801616,cheers edd :D

I've re-checked and it's over 28 sets of foams sat here so if someone can run the Hex type wheel fitting (Schumacher style) you're onto a winner.....

Most of these are brand new and completely unused.

Awesome night guys, feedback was great and it was good to see so many happy faces:D
Thanks to Rob and Janos from Taplow for the last minute help with the jumps, more will come:woot:

Foams probably wont be as good for all the extra carpet and lino sections that we have planned;)
A rubber only rule will also be in place for our winter Kyosho series that will be officially announced shortly


THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR COMING

see you next week

Or a TRF?

Shuey is now mine:woot: cheers Ed

i will be racing next week :)

Maybe abit of TTRCLIVE action may be in order ;)

Sounds excellent! Any pictures online anywhere of the offroad track?

I took some HD video from the 4wd heat.Will upload it later.thanks for having us :)
Roll on next tues... More jumps = more racers :)
And good work on the dirt track outside,so much better than before.

I know, I only won because of the foams, it was nothing to do with consistant lapping, the last qualifyer beiing all 16 second laps apart from the 3 or 4 15 second ones LOL

Agree with the rubber only rule as i've only got the one set of foams that were made for me over 2 years ago LOL.

And hopefully Matt will get his finger out and make the rest of the jumps this week as he's nothing else to do ;)

I practiced with some worn out ballistics and green mini's and they were fine, so don't acetone your tyres, get on down to the moto arena and use them up that way (until they tip the clay in) :D

Matt, would be a good idea to post some pictures on here throughout the week of the progress (jumps etc) to give everyone an idea of what's to come for next Tuesday ........... wood merchant is about a quarter of a mile from the track and will deliver 40 sheets of ply for free if asked , and there's a carpet shop in Northampton that can supply industrial (cheap) carpet in long roles. You don't need expensive Primafelt for these little babies, they'll run on anything :)
