As a "farther" do your kids a favour, do not try to teach them spelling.
Always makes me laugh these speed threads. Nobody else ever breaks the speed limit.

[jamie 6.5t]

[c0sie]

Probably...but...how many of them thought to post a thrad about it?

Probably very few, which makes you super special indeed

Thanks for pointing that out, I was using my phone with fat fingers at the time &

as for my kids spelling, they will be able to spell Tonne not Tunn!

ash mate who's your hero ??

[c0sie]

I think he means you Jamie.

This oOple place, every one just talks about boring RC stuff all the time. Its so boring and off of what kids do and stuff.

Stuff like doing 110 in a van is quite exciting for us lot, and significantly cheaper than say buying a set of tyre warmers

[bodgit]

Just one thing to think about for your own safety in future. Every 10mph increases the wieght of your load by 100% under heavy breaking, so if you had to do an emergency stop or break quickly you would have had 11 tons behind you. What load could your straps or the anchor points have held before letting go.
Worth thinking about next time you have a heavy load, how safe is it really?

Just so you know, if you had a "tunn" of ballast in the back, slamming all on could have done you a serious injury even if you didn't hit anything else in the process.

We do a lot of loaded testing and jamming the brakes on (even with it all strapped down) causes the ballast to move around a lot. Tightening the ratchet straps down as tight as you can, still lets it move 3 or 4 inches under heavy braking.

sorry for insulting anyone but tbh it was a one off and it wont happen again and when we did the speed test the motorway was practicly deserted no one was even in sight so thats why we did it and the ballast was strapped down with chains and pullys in the back of the van and we didnt slam on the brakes we came to a gentle stop so the ballast didnt shift a inch looking forward to getting my brca and membership and that conrtoler hopefully some neew wheels
