Where as our bad luck was consistant throughout the 24 hours

I had a good time though and Xfactory should be proud and the only parts that faltered were AE parts.

we had a good last 6 hours, we pulled time back on everyone but HPI.

I had a full punch last stint and loved every minute of it

Nothing BLUE went bang.

Big thanks to LRP.

But there was some orange products letting out some magic smoke and at least 3 motors that i know of

[Chris Doughty]

1 LRP speedo, 1 LRP motor and a few LRP LiPo's and you can run 24hrs 'full punch' (as in Tom Cockerill full punch!)

Ino-Lab servo went the distance without any fault too - it was working hard too catching all those 2WD slides and flicks

[Adam Skelding]

No bangs or pops from the red stuff.

After 24 Hours
Speedo: 43.7 C
Motor: 60C

Underarm temp: Much hugher than both!

[Chris Doughty]

my under-arms were about to thermal when I forgot to take my hoody off before my stint... only made that mistake once!

am lot of magic smoke escaped from one corner towards the end and even toms frantic polishing couldnt cool it down our team thought we had major probs when the tekin shorted out on the prop and lots of magic smoke escaped from the little black box mid way through the random check of the car but much to our suprise it didnt falter at all and ran for the rest of the 24 hour without a hitch. was a great display of tekin strenth in both motor and speedo as neither faltered even when heavily abused and also for track power who helped our cause with 4 packs of 4900 stick lipos. these again were abused for the full 24 hours without even a cough and combined with the tekin speedo, motor and the pred x11-08 ran for at least 22 mins even under the heaviest of drivers and had a best run of 35 mins in slightly smoother hands.

id like to take this oportunity to thank Lewis at Xtreme for the x11-08 and the tekin motor and speedo, Mac at trackpower and Mark at mb modeltech for arranging the lipos and custom blitz for there help as without them we wouldnt of been able to take part

I think it goes to show how good the electronics are that we can buy off the shelf nowadays.

May i also add that We at Xfactory/LRP (in joke) were not using a top end speed control either, we used the LRP SPX Bullet Reverse speedo. It ran faultless

[bigred5765]

it was strange the hottest thing inside the car after 24 hours of racing was the corrally connectors,??how mads that,just goes to show you don't always need top stuff,a big thanks to Darren at dms, X factory,inolabs,and lrp,ran faultless the whole 24 hrs,

[chalky]

can i just thank gary marsden from morley models who provided all the gear for us to do the event we all enjoyed it and will come back next year

the associated b44 car lrp sphere and lrp 10.5 ran non stop untill the last 20 mins when we broke

bally rather than taking the peice why don`t you get a team together for next year and lets see how far behind you are

well done everyone !

john im not taking the p***!!! it wasnt possible for us to compete. we just had a bet between a few of us, what the difference would be between 1st and last, we know the finishing order just need to know the laps??? so if you have the answer let us know, if i win i will donate my winnings to the charitys.

in my first stint it was definatly me lmao as i wragged the hell out of it in a wraggy style (just keeping it in one piece as well ). second stint i averaged 25-28 mins for the for all 3 packs and still managed to match the earlier lap times. untill they announced the computer probs i thought we had a chance of catching xfac/lrp as we had a good line up of drivers in the next few stints and the computer broadcast showed me 42 laps to catch them which was just about doable in the time that we had. then i looked at race control and it was 112 after my stint so i new we couldnt catch them but we were 300+ laps up on 6th so told the team to just keep rolling round and hope someone had a major prob ahead of us. none had one that brought them close enough for us to nibble at so we were 5th

[bally]

Thanks looks like Boultspeed has won our bet are they the official results?

[jimmy]

the ones on my report are the official results yes

[bally]

thanks jimmy

[boultspeed]

good guess only 3 laps out

all a bit of fun though it was not meant to offend anyone

in the spirit of things the winnings will be donated to a local animal rehoming centre
