I'm not doing the PDA regional now, so I'll be at Torch. I need astro practice, not dirt!

Have a good one, weather looking excellent for Sunday, rather be out enjoying the Sun at Torch and coop up on shed all day.

Track is beginning to really come good, with the conditions being bone dry, also more challenging on set up for all

Matt u have a PM

Hi Simon,

Heard about the V3 gearing issue, always try and overgear than undergear, as motors will always in my experience get hotter when undergeared and feel really slow and gutless.

Have a chat Sunday and see if u can get some more speed.

Very interesting, I've always been 'taught' that undergearing is safer... But it may very well explain my issue with the V3 at the weekend.

Oh, I've fixed the X11 that fell apart at Torch, so I'll be trying that again this Sunday too!

Someone on oOple was flogging X11 rotors so I grabbed one. 12.5mm.

I'll probably run the DB01 mainly, perhaps with a run or two with the 511 (there is no X).

Cool.

Sintered rotors are the better ones.

Ok 511 it is - I'll update the database

If anyone wants to pop down after you've finished would be nice for a chat.
