Fantastic day. Beautiful drive down and back along the A272 between the A and M 3. I'd certainly do it again.

Elliott.

We had the B4 and the ZX5 and managed to rip the suspension off both of em! plus a couple of battery packs with "thin" bars just became sadle packs ? no wonder Jordan was stuttering last turn in his final.

Drive back to the A34 - Winchester - was outstanding, beautiful piece of road.

Grant, there will be some pics up at some stage as i know Mick and Jordan were taking some

[Elliott Hopkins]

Can anyone post their final setups from yesterday? How were the B4s running for those that ran them?

*cough*

Elliott.

[Lee Martin]

B4 set up would be something liek this...if they took my advise.......

frnt;

no 1, 35wt, brown spring. middle hole on tower. outside on arm
short link with 1 washer.

rear;

no 2, 30wt, silver spring, inside hole on tower. inside hole on arm.

2 degree sqwat.

big wing.

cells middle.

[Nick Goodall]

I didn't get any advice LeeRoy!! I just ran a set-up that i found on the net for loose bumpy dirt

Front

Inside hole on shock tower
Outer hole on wishbone
30wt, No 1, Brown Springs
30 Deg Casters

Rear

Inside hole on shock tower
Inside hold on wishbone
25wt, No 2, Silver Springs

S/Short wheelbase
Cells Back
Big Wing


To be fair it could have been a bit better but it was working well enough for me not to worry about changing it, and i don't think it would have been possible to really generate that much more grip from the car - maybe just a bit of fine tuning but saying that i'd probably still run what Lee suggests for next time - He knows the car better then i do that's for sure

[Nick Goodall]

First pic, Mick just sent it to me! Gotta say the full size version is awesome, you can see all the dirt flying up in the air, great job again to Jordan for taking it!!

[Lee Martin]

I will start to sort em now, but may take a couple of days, that orange jumps off the screen like a glowing ember ! may have to try and knock it back a bit, tires not showing any sign of wear tho. Mick

I'm glad you guys liked the track, I had a bit of a culture shock as did the rest of you as I normally go round it with an LST, and have no trouble "seeing" it., but when I stood up on the rostrum and drove my "little" 1/10th round for the 1st time, It was like nothing I'd driven before.

Must agree, the turnout was a bit lame, and as I like 1/10th I did wonder if Tony (Bolwell) thought maybe it was a waste of time inviting a load of electric buggy boys over. I think he enjoyed it though as it wasn't hectic like the barrage of nitro meetings (RX national, XRay, club round, T&T national) he ran last month.

I hope we have another one, and this time, bring your mates, all of them.

Anyone interested in my set up for my DF03?

Front:
TRF shocks,
Red springs
45wt
"Super Gripper" tyres

Rear:
blue springs

Motor: 16x2
Cells: RC2000

Laugh all you like, I did.

[David Church]

I will come if you have another, and I will try and bring some of the South East boys!!!!!!

my car fell apart on my very first lap for no apparent reason but once fixed i never touched it again all day
it survived a few tumbles i thought would kill it but kept going!
slapped the ground hard a lot of times when over jumping the doubles which didn't seem to bother it so i'd have to say the B4 is stronger than it looks

i'm used to 8th but had no problem seeing my car all day, it didn't look that small to me even on the far side of the track!
i was expecting a fair few more drivers but im used to 8th meetings that fill up really quickly!
so you guys don't run on dirt tracks with jumps much then?
everone was smiling when they came down off the rostrum so it must have been an enjoyable experience for them!
dirt & jumpsd is where its at

[MK999]

didn't break a thing all day

[JCJC]

Snap-er-oosies, Picturesque spot, dusty late in the afternoon sun, enjoy:

Muddy, seriously though, It depends what sort of "wet" it is. As far as rain is concerned, It's actually better when it's pissing it down rather than just stopped, Cos the mud doesn't "stick". The track dries out, to the extent of having a true "dry" line, within an an hour or two. It really is an all weather track, despite it being made of dirt.

You guys must be bored af astroturf and block paviers by now, surely, lol

Clanfield for 1/10 off road, you know it makes sense.
