Ordered 2 from M-K one for me and other for tony to replace the one I used.. was wanting to get 3 but only 2 in stock. As his wife just had a baby its only been sent today.. ordered it Monday. But racing clan this Sunday so not a massive rush. And might order another and new bearing set as my rear diff ones are shot-Seized.. but 12 for a full b44 set cant be bad from rcbearings haha

They are really good at RCbearings. A couple of spares sounds like a good plan, that seemed a real weak spot. Was quite funny when you hit tony in the last race and the glue gave way when you could of taken the lead and won. That is the kind of luck i have

Nope, they are sealed. I have had 2 fail in the last year. If the wheels feel ok i leave it. The b4 feels rough though so gonna take a look

If it's been a wet one I always get them out of the car and into WD40 at least. But I appreciate everyone has different amounts of avaliable time.

Hi I'm considering coming to TORCH on Sunday.It is 1.5 hrs away from me tho... How many rounds qual / finals etc do you run-as it seems a short day 9am-1pm. Mainly for testing so trying to maximise the track time

Hi

It can vary a bit at the mo, as we have a new tming system, but usually 6 races of some sort. 4 or 5 quali, 1 or 2 finals. Never had less than 5 races, plus you can practice before. Someone is normally there from 8:30 ish. Mike will have more info i suspect

All depends on numbers.

We generally get 5 rounds in etc. but see how numbers are each week.

staggered qualifying and then finals. Tempted to do 2 finals

Where are you coming from and what do hope to run?

If you do PM me your name, class, car, radio and PT (if you have one).

We are a small club, so not like the big meetings, but we aim to develop more over 2010

We aim to do all day meetings this year, but that needs to be discussed. I'm in favour of once a month

I'm coming from Frome in Somerset-if I make it I'll run my losi/atomic cr2. Cheers guys-If I decide to come I'll let you know my details etc.
Oh-What tyres for the dry / wet? I've read everything from ballistic pink to schumacher blue/minipins etc.

Christ on a bike that's a trek!

http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33958

Mini pins in the wet with some running ballistic buggy tyres and mini spikes in the dry.

Staggered ribs on the front in the dry and whatever suits in the wet.
