Good clubman racing tonight, enjoyed the cramped final no end - thanks very much for the warm welcome for the most as usual ...
Whilst I love the F104 Pro the speed of the 21.5T F1's are a little quick for the clubman so the Tyrell with a Silver can is my future I think ... However next week Stuart and I will be joining the Clubman Tamiya Tourers ... Ive re-radioed my standard kit FF03 and put a non sensored 13T hobbywing combo in to match the FF01 currently being ran, however im using standard rubber tyres not foams ... I think Stuart is going to be doing the same ... I seem to be out of brushed esc's :-( and 15 and 20 turn hpi saturns ... Let me know if the above is not deemed appropriate for the class so I have time to rejig the power plants. Thanks as always and looking forward to next week already Scott. ![]() |

If you want a brushed ESC I can sell you one identical to the one I run in my TL01 for £9. Brand new too! I can't complain about mine, works a treat
![]() Chris is running a sensorless 13T in his FF01 and it is about right compared to the F1s. ![]() FWIW, I look forward to having more tourers in Clubman! ![]() |

Excellent ... Ill try the 13T and take it from there .... what compound rubber are you using on your TL01?

Sorex 24s, but towards the end of a heat they are a little too grippy. Maybe it would be better with 28s, next time I'll try them without juice. As you say Chris runs foams for his FF01, but I have no idea what they are.
PS: I can't wait to see the FF03 ![]() |

![]() ![]() I have a couple of sensorless setups at home, 12T and 9T. I don't intend to run them in the TL01 as I don't want it to break. |

Superglue?, gearbox is now welded shut with a zip tie. Only problem is that I forgot to clear all of the debris out before sealing it, hench the crunching in the final ![]()

lol, as I said. I really have no issue with you cranking up the timing all the way. As much as I did enjoy beating you (for once!) my other priority was for ANY tourer to get closer to the F1s... Doesn't look easy given that the top F1 ended up a lap ahead than the fastest TC (that's full 13.5T TC in the TC field!). Clubman the slow class?!?!?!
Zip tie? I like it, properly Shambles! PS: TA01 on Ebay! |

already watching it - although I suspect its going to sell for quite a bit more than the current bid given the original bodyshell

Update - just bought a Manta Ray for £20. Plan is to use the gearboxes and make the Shamcar a TA01/02. Also need a new shamshell for it though

Actually Mark you are correct there. When I was racing the ataxia F1's at national level rubber was so much slower than foams. I am tempted to race F1's in the clubman...........

![]() Also it was a bit of a twisty one for the TC's and the GT12 guys struggle for grip in places, Canawarit At the end of the day it's not what class is the quickest,it's what you enjoy running on a Friday night, I think you should as they had about 6 in it last week, |

I nearly bought a Beneton last night but was outbid. It ended at £46 but the reserve wasn't met. How much are F103s fetching 2nd hand these days?

Didn't you just buy a Manta Ray to convert to a TA01?
Is that what you will be racing next Friday? |

That really isn't how I meant it at all, if I wanted speed I'd run my Losi 22. That thing is ballistic!!! Its just that the TL01 has been more fun lately.

You mention wanting to speed up your TC,but might be hard as the F1 is quicker than my TC, It's clearly not about speed but handling,skill,and the class of car, Maybe you all run foams? |
