Another question - favourite jump / track feature

[jim76]

i prefer the double double (quad) at the back of CML, followed by the double down the hill before the wall of death.
The quad is lovely when you time it right at tuck round the corner tight afterwards.


edit - beat me Chris!

and you are also right about the big double into the down-hill at CML, thats ace too!

you have to get good drive out of the corner to clear it, and the option not to clear it is easily 'driveable'

very satisfying

Have only just seen the new "Wall of Death" feature at Kampenhout so cant comment on that but the rest of the Belgian GP track is a thing of beauty. Constructed by a man who clearly knows what he is doing with jumps which have corresponding downslope landings (a feature often left out in the UK).
I am so jealous of all the Brits going to Belgium this year - you will enjoy the track.

seriously, I liked the double double at the back of CML Raceway, so nice and flowing when you got it right, it seems to have chagned now though.

I liked it because it rewarding getting it right, it was easy to single-single-single-single but slower, it was not a big air car breaker if you try it and get it wrong.

Actually that's where I snapped my chassis The boards were pretty lethal if you managed to go off to one side

Wall of death at austria is a pwersonal Fav as it started a revolution.

Triple years ago at comp hobbies was ace!

step up at cactus this year was pretty funky too!

CML RW is having quite a few changes over summer! so hope to see alot of new parts on there!!!!

the quads were ace! but im hoping to improve!

Whooooooop!!!

other than that...no other track in the UK has the nice downsloops and technical sections....its something you truly appreciate when you go to states and people forget bout here!

the bot dot section going on to the table top then bomb hole at eden park,
the best section ive driven for a long time

The two big doubles at Clanfield are pretty awesome for 1/10th, but i think CML has a lot of really nice features, the wall of death, camber changes here and there, the bomb hole / tabletop combination, then the quads, the jump that goes down hill - on a good lap it flows really nice and rewards you with good lap times rather then having to be absolutely on it out of every corner and hard on the brakes which a lot of the UK tracks are like....

Anyone remember the Euro's in 2001, France (St Gaudens)? They had a few really nice sections, a pair of doubles going away from you at an angle before a 160 degree corner on to the main straight which again came at an angle but towards you then a nice right hander followed by a large(ish) jump....

In 2wd you had to come right to the inside, but in 4wd you had to drift wide out of the straight and jump it right on the outside, just clearing a bit of pipe each time – it was awesome.

I loved st gaudens, but it seemed only the Losi cars would take that double double, the B3's didn't like it at all!


I thought sweden washboard whoops section from 2000 euros was pretty ace, I have not seen a nice washboard/whoops section on any other track as good as that one.

this was back in the days before the big meetings got photographed, shame really.

Haha i didn't think anyone else would remember that Sweden track Chris but i was thinking about that whoops section, you had to come to the inside and give it two blips to land on two sets of effectively downsides - that was Quality!!!

As you say that's something we don't get a lot of in 1/10th, i drew up plans for CML a while back to add some in but it would take a bit of work to get them right.... best thing then is you get that Supercross style racing where someone will maybe jump 2, 3 and someone else 1, 2, 2 or even 3, 2 - all the different combinations and lines are what make them work so well for racing!

The jump section at the proline uk race 2007

if taken right you could gain a lot of time but were also easy to take if you didn't wanna go balls out.
