Racing - Sunday 6th Feb 2011

[mikeyscott]

Hi,

Who's racing this week? I'm in again with the Durango (just maybe a change of ESC as I'm not keen on the Tekin power delivery).

Could be tempted for a 2WD run, but err that needs work after Petit...

Hope to see regulars and new racers at the track. If you haven't attended before PM me your race details.

Also looking for a volunteers to step up and help with running the meeting to relieve SteveB and myself more. I enjoy running the meeting, but equally am there to race too.. So organising people, setting up and laptop stuff.

Keep an eye on the weather - http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/11?area=SO31

Cheers,

Mikey

Track should be ok to practice from 08:30, maybe 08:00. Depends what help we get from members getting ready

Aka putting marshal cones out and giving the track a tidy etc.

Many thanks to those that attended today, race results are now online.

Yeah thanks to Everyone there today, that ran the meeting and raced. Was great fun even though the weather wasn't amazing! Still had a blast, and trying to give Steve a run for his money! Next time I hope!

Cheers guys!

What setup did you have on your Durango? Were you running the weight kit?

Starting to like my Durango more with each run.

What option parts you running?

Changed the o rings on the diff?

I'm on running a v3 7.5.

Cheers to rob for the cometry.

Roll on the all day meetings from spring!!

Um.. well tbh it was a tad harder in the front than I would have liked as ran it at Taplow for the 1st time friday night.

Ran this setup: Minus Diff oils at taplow it was on rails

http://www.team-durango.com/pdf/setu...n_16_01_11.pdf

Same as above minus:

Font Shocks Ghea 2 1.3
Rear Shocks Ghea 3 1.4 -Fitted last night
Diffs Think 10-7 but not 100% sure on that one


Front Alu Susp holder's
TD Alu Skid plate
Treseary Alu servo arm
Atomic Carbon Tower's -Just preference
Schumacher studs
JConcepts balljoints
Rest is stock R

But yeah, would have probably gone to 35w in the front tbh- ran 35-30 last time I was down.

Hi,

I'm running the ghea pistons and AC towers too. Need to order the servo saver, where did you order it from?

32.5 all round on mine, going to take the rear weight off as it's not helping with low traction.

Be nice for a few more rangos running

Having a weekend off RC and then depnding on weather may be getting some truggy setup time next week. Wish there were more days in the week as would love to be at torch too.

[RWJParkes]

Working away for three weeks, not down again till the 27th. Gutted.
Got a hot bodies D4 to play with too...anyone driven one?
Got it off ebay for £60, so if it isn't great then I haven't spent a fortune!

[dibble34]

i used to run one so may be able to offer the odd tip. TBH i didn't get on great with mine, but would be a good starter car at that price

[RWJParkes]

Yeah seems ok, only quickly run it around a carpark. I have a cat sx as well so I bought it as a back up and more for messing around with. Keeping the options open. Will definitely talk to you about setups....found a starting point on the HB website.

[dibble34]

Have look here http://www.petitrc.com/setup/hotbodi...CycloneD4.html

I always found that useful, have a look at the astro setups. May need to be a little softer as TORCH is quite bumpy still IMO, and it should be as off road

I use to run LOSI springs on mine, pink rear and green front.
