Ansmann/TQ/TC : the off thread

[kedal]

Yes, I've done some test with the tekin, no problem with it, good speed, good progressivity and no heat (5th led max)
I love it, but I dont really see difference between the ezrun esc.

[Jaune]

Kedal, Do you have the hotwire? The tekin is good but you can add so much power once awaken with the hotwire.

[kedal]

No John, because I only use old G4 Mac, so no window to use hotwire.
I enjoy the Tekin without it, so it's ok for now

[marcel]

with the hotwire you can unlease the beast
now its just another speedo

[kedal]

Maybe one day I could use the Hotwire

Here's a pic of my reinforced part of my car, alloy 2mm :




And a pic of the alloy ilder gear hardly broken :

[ben44]

Did you know if there is a difference of weigh betewn this ilder gear, and the srock one? I don't undustand why in metal it's will be better

[kedal]

The metal one is very light, but I think like the stock one.
I tought the metal gear was for the solidity but... no

[kedal]

I just make a little mod on my Mad Rat to have a full bearing ball steering :







I drill the stocks holes to 6mm to put the standard steering bearing ball, no shim, no more clearance.

I'll test this mod on sunday during the race.

[kedal]

I've done my local race today, the car was very good, the bfast diff is soooo good, I TQ's and finish 3rd overall.

Very good race, but just a few driver, some very good also.

My steering mod didnt broke, and my reinforcement spare dont very mod the handling of the car.

[ben44]

Did you know if some Team C / Ansmann driver are at the europeean race?

[kedal]

woody maybe ?

Hi guys!

I just wanted to let you know that i placed second in general after 4 races (the 5.th was cancelled due to bad weather) in Fx Racing Electric Open Stock class.

The winner of the class was a HPI stadium truck, so between the buggies the Madrat helped me in front of 2 B4-s.

The podium picture:

Cheers,

Laci

PS: Elod could not come to this race, but he borrowed to me his car (thanks again) for parts .

[zagonielod]

This way I can say at least that I have a share of that 2nd place :P
Congrats Laci! Next year I will catch you

[kedal]

Congrat guys !!

Does the RB5 transmission/gearbox case fit straight in ? it really looks like it might, or at least with a couple other Kyosho parts?

[nicefrog]

I also got bored the other day while waiting for the mid motor parts so I made my madrat into a "long rat" with a spare truck chassis. I might drive it in a few days, I also have the front arms on back to front, but like this it's slightly too long fro ROAR rules but as far as I can tell would be legal under IFMAR. Anyway I think I'll spin the arms back around yet before I run it then it will be ROAR legal *just*. The turning circle is no good but I think for me it might be faster than the stock chassis since it'll be more stable and I can't drive like a pro anyway

[nicefrog]

I have driven the long rat! it goes pretty good, I think with some setting up it'll be fast but right now my old RC10 that I also drove is probably faster.

Here's the RC10, Positronic might put the long rat video later
