mops are the future, my head is growing a bit of a mop.

from the 2005 season I found that mop=fast in 4WD - no mop=fast in 2WD

[Lee]

Hmmmm you might be onto something there chris.

Lee martin + mop fast 4wd

cragg and bloomers no mops fast in 2wd

[Spencer Mulcahy]

So if you have mid length will you be fast in both.

[bigred5765]

no shave half your head, and leave the other half long
sorted

its not that easy, mid-length means you are average at both.

you need to choose, 2WD or 4WD.

Carl has an interesting idea though....

I wonder what Tom's views on this are?

[bigred5765]

sod his views,
lets pin him down and give him a good old free hair cut what say you tomus
no i didnt spell it wrong

[Chrislong]

How short should the head be shaved to be fast with 2wd? Ive been testing this theory, I started at No.3 shave and im at No.2 now and im still doing better with 4wd than 2wd.

Could it be related to hairs in other places? ...... such as eyebrows?

I wonderred if it was to do with wearing wonky caps before I read this thread...

[millzy]

See now i have no hair ( its bic'd) and im faster in 4wd than i ever was......

Well done Tom, hope your 07 results carry on in 08 for you

all the best

Don't much care what his hair looks like so long as he's holding the correct car and the big trophy. However, we do have a few standards...

AE front shocks/Losi rear

[bigred5765]

Faster than you ever were? You got beaten by a girl in the 4wd Nationals last year, and a rubbish girl at that!

On the hair... does level of skill correspond to length of hair? If so I should be kicking some 4wd ass...!

Do curls / straightness have any effect on performance?

Done on purpose, so the front had the usual B4 setup on

[Garry Driffill]

wouldnt the weight set-up of the car effect the origional set up of the car ?

for example the front end wouldnt carry the same amount of weight on the B4 compared to the X-6 when the 4 gear comes into action when the accelaration is hit ?..

if any of that makes sence lol, but then again, if it was really that bad it wouldnt have worked right and he wouldnt ahve gotton TQ !

cracking driver mind, maybe that helped alot though....

[Chrislong]

Conclusion: Losi shocks are better. LOL, Tom confirms this.

Therefore, could have been faster at Batley

[Cockerill]

As Rich said I put AE shocks on to copy a B4 front end setup. When I ran my car at Worksop I ran both AE and Losi shocks and found the Losi Shocks to be better.
