Pity about your inteferance Tim, you were going well.

Yesterday was a nice change, very relaxing compared to the usual intense 4WD, I also forgot how quiet it was to race in 2WD heats, its almost silent compared to the4WD cars.

Really enjoyed it, and had a good race with Greg in the final, though we both made a lot of mistakes, the parts where we were actually racing were clean. Well done Greg for the win.

Well done to Robin and Neil aswell, I think we were all on a good pace throughout the night. Interesting to see there wasnt much difference betweeen minipins, minispikes, or full spikes on the 2WD. The full spikes on the rear and ribs ont he front felt great in round 1, though I did settle on mini spikes for the final.

B4 felt really good, and I felt I could chuck it around without anthing too scary happening .... though Barry thinks I was overdoing the corner at the end of the straight on lifting a front wheel each lap.


On another note, I think we could do with a bit more help putting the track out. There must have been around 20 people watching about 5 of us build the track!! There is no plan for the track, if everyone chips in, it'll get done a lot quicker.

Does anyone have the results ? The print out vanished last night !

Printer wouldn't print out last night and because we were running late we had to pack it away. From memory,

1st Greg williams 13 laps 5m 04 seconds
2nd chris pattinson 13 laps 5m 06 seconds
3rd neil adamson 13 laps 5m 06.5 seconds
4th tim snowdon 12 laps 5m 09 seconds.

Im sure peter could check the computer and post the exact results for everyone when he gets a minute....

I enjoyed 2wd last night however i only took pins so it was like an ice rink on that top corner. Losi shocks were a definate improvement on the B4, however i still need to fine tune them right in. I think mini spikes woud have been better...

Back to 4wd next week i think...

Have you got the ariel wire fed through the hole in the chassis provided by AE?

If so take the ariel wire out of it and run it up the outside of the ariel straw to see if interferance goes away. If it does drill a hole in the straw just above were it pushes into the chassis and feed the wire up inside the straw

thanks for the heads up ! I assume it's been a problem in the past ? I will try it next week ! Fingers crossed !

I am sure Kash beat me so not sure I was 4th ! I was following him till I got interferance then I could have even lost another place as I pritty much gave in by the end

When on 27/40mhz yes but haven't heard it being a problem on 2.4mhz, but you may be the 1st
