car was looking good in the final, up to 2nd from 10th until that idiot caused your demise

leave the slipper as is for now, service the diff, you'll find it'll be the small thrust race that's gruff rather than the diff it's self

[AndyM]

ok, cheers for ya help yesterday! you were very helpful thanks

AndyM / done a little research

Gearbox internal ratio stays the same but mmpr (millimetre per revolution) is the bit that matters when going to a larger tyre. Without changing the pinion/spur from 20/81 your rollout was to big a change for your 37's. On top of that you also had long, damp grass that creates drag on the car. Not sure how tall TR's are so guessed @ 86mm to show how they affect rollout.

Schumacher/Ballistic tyres
20/81 = 23.87mmpr

YokomoTR32
20/86 = 25.66mmpr


so you would need to fit 18/78 = 23.98mmpr to get near to 23.87 if you need to run TR32's

Well it was looking to be a good day for my first 4wd run in 13 or so years.

until I stripped the gears in the D4 rear gearbox.

Could've bodjed it back up, but my daughter wasn't feeling well either so we went home before the finals.

Well done to the teesside club for putting on a fantastic day.
The track was actually pretty good, despite only having one jump and being all grass, the undulations in the field added that little bit of extra intrest to the track.

I'll be back and more prepared for york.

Roll on york, loved 4wd today, well done to rich lowe for the win and i a cracking race with northy in the final although we were never side by side

[tc2k]

thanks to all the teesside lads who organised the event, was really a great day for me and the track was great, the undulations in the grass really made it even better.
Loved it

[Richard Lowe]

And well done Lee for your best regional result!

BJ4 1-2

Thanks to all at Teesside, and others that helped out with the track, for all your hard work over the weekend, especially considering the weather over the last week. The track was great both days, really enjoyed racing on a track with so many undulations, rather than loads of jumps, made a nice change, lets hope you can do it again next year!!!

Had my best results for many years over the weekend A7 & B3, helped by low numbers on Saturday and setup help for my BJ4 from Rich and Lee, many thanks for the tips, just need to get the thumbs going abit faster!!

BJ's Rule!!!
