BANNED in some classes.
Maybe needs nipping in the bud before it get's out of hand.

Stockcar Racing Rules
20) Body and chassis must be securely joined at all times the car is on the track. No wings or aerofoils or any under body aids are allowed

Saloon Stox
14) No unrealistic wings, aerofoils, spoiler or under body aids unless in the original car design or molding

1:10th Electric Circuit
6.4 Under body/chassis aerodynamic aids of any nature are not allowed. Only motor guards are allowed. Smooth lexan undertrays may be fitted to waterproof the cars.

Not really all chassis flex ally - Carbon -GRP they all flex

the carbon one was 4/10ths of a second faster per lap

yea because I was so down on power as stated

But yeah the LB racing undertray (wings) did yield more downforce.

I thank you

I was referring to James's ce fibreglass chassis as he was the next fastest.

I can't understand why you were so down on power as you claim. We are running the same battery/ speedo/ motor. Your straight line speed was fine.

Perhaps have a look to see if the motor/motor bearings is/are clogged with carpet.

Can I just say on behalf of LB Racing, we had a great day at Ardent armed with a couple of new ideas to test, we do not produce any chassis, winged or not, or wish to get involved with this chassis argument.

We have produced an undertray to compliment the performance of a new product that we have developed, there is no connection between this and any make of chassis that is currently available.

One thing we did note, and are not too happy about, is that the new chassis are giving the mardave a shorter wheelbase than the standard original chassis. This concerns us as we are manufacturing bodyshells to the original wheelbase, and to find after hours of fine detailing that they do not fit the new chassis, perhaps someone can explain?

Probably more to do with corner speed than straight line speed, if straight line speed was the same, maybe the P2 was just scrubbing off more speed in the corners ??

The wheelbase is adjustable on the new chassis, but the longer std setting should be the same as the std chassis I think ?

Could be Karl I was so gutted on how slow it was compaired to the last two meetings James and myself did I was looking forward to giving you a run . . . . but im at Ardent tuesday ill have a play and check things over see if any thing rears up good racing tho . . .

@LB racing dont worry about the under tray mate its been around for ages and testing is all good fun

Never noticed the Dave wheel base's shrinking wonder why that is

Adjustable wheelbase on a Mardave, whatever next!

Dont know Richard like I have said earlyer it was just slow compaired to last 2 meetings but will see 2 moz whats going on .

I did check the chassis tho and no rubbing . . . oh well back to some testing 2moz

Know black marks on any of the p2 chassis no scrubbing off in corners on mine Lees or Gazzas just gazza had a lack of power.

not quite what's meant by "scrubbing speed" though LOL

Paulnuneaton · #73 05-12-2011

sorry Chris got crossed wires mate thought you meant the wings hitting the floor mate

Link overboard guys. This thread is for the Mardave carbon chassis and the people who would like to read about it.
Maybe start a p2 specific thread or blog to help racers or potential customers of the p2 rather than bolt onto the Mardave threads. Considering you seem to be disappointed with Mardave why associate with it? like I am sure the new Schumacher car will have it's own section etc so why not the p2?

Paulnuneaton · #75 05-12-2011

Now that's a thought

i agree, but every "New Mardave" thing gets flooded with this P2 thing and kinda gets lost, theres already atleast 6 threads now about this P2 and its getting out of hand now
