Please help I'm new

Hi all

I popped into your club last week and was very impressed with it. I am hoping to get into some racing with my son but have no idea where to start.

I have purchased a second hand tc02 evo (US spec) that is in imaculate condition but a lot of the terminology is frankly baffling me. Is there anybody who races Team C cars at mansfield or who is familiar with them that wouldn't mind me tagging along at one of the Mansfield meeting so I can try to learn a bit more before I spend any more money on crap I don't need . I know you guys can be pretty busy in the pits sometimes but I wouldn't get in the way.

Hi matey.

There are a few Team C drivers in the club and also alot of them have raced the TM2 in the past.

Regarding info and advice just come to any of use in the club even if we look busy. My only advise is to avoid me if I have a lolly in my mouth or Tony if he has a dummy (Yes a dummy) lol.

What are you needing to know? is it about Electrics/parts or just general advise?

Hope all goes well and you get up and running soon

Tom.

I'm cool with the electrics it's more things like gearing and differentials, offsets on wheels, which tires to run, shock setup? etc.

Do i really need to have dummy now all the time? I only needed it once after all lol.........plus it is your dummy tom, i just needed to borrow it for a while as i was throwing my toys out of my pram

Anyways, feel free to ask all of us nexus as we do try to remain calm mostly and help each other out (with as much banter and weewee taking as possible)

Muzzies post on this mansfield thread?......is full of some of the best advice u will find so have a read of that to get you started.

Tony (no dummy, honestly lol)

Car set-up it difficult to explain and is dependent on your driving style LOL.

Try here http://www.petitrc.com/reglages/SetupSheetDataBase.htm this is a good place to start

I still struggle to know what to change and how this affects the car. I’ve download a setup guide on the ipad to help me understand but its still confusing. This is what us sad gits talk about on a Wednesday “what works and what didn’t”.

Take Sunday for example, 6 of us ran the same car at the same track, all with a different setup. We all changed things and some liked the tweaks and others didn’t. I'm still unsure about the length of my rear link LOL…

I’m going to run my TM2 completely different at the next few meetings to find out what does what.
