uk team drivers ?

[MATTY]

Schumacher factory team off road drivers, are there any in uk?
I know they have no current 06 cars but who is testing there new proto types?:o
come on england !

Kyosho factory team on/off road drivers, are there any in the UK?
I don’t know to any at the moment, could be wrong!

[jimmy]

Schumacher, Matt White ? Might be others but I think they all would be touring car racers who also do buggys.
As for schumacher prototypes, certainly not seen anything this year and afaik they aren't doing anything at the moment.

is there any more mega stars movin

[matdodd]

Matts running the x10 again next year as far as I know

[jimmy]

I think so definately!

Kyosho could do with some more drivers, i know a couple of national A final winners who were interested in joining the team but i guess it didn't happen.

I wouldn't mind seeing the TTech team grow some more too

[Northy]

I think we'll see more TTech drivers this next year....

[losixxx]

ive heard there's going to be 1 top 5 driver changing chassis but reckon we will just have to wait and see

[matdodd]

I think there will be 2! Chris already has :)

[_sleigh_]

I'd say there could be 3 top 5 drivers movin (inc. Chris)

[Chris Doughty]

top 5 in 2WD of 4WD?

I think this winter we will see lots of musical rides

[losixxx]

4wd!

[MattW]

Yeah as the others said at the top, there is no new Schumacher Off Road prototype for next year. I am sponsered by Schumacher for the On Road team

The current plan for me is privately running the Pred X10, but probably the only time that will be final will be Rd 1 at the first national next year!!!! Bear in mind last year i switched cars about 2 days before the Kiddy National!!!

[matdodd]

good point mate :rolleyes:

[Lee Martin]

i dnt see the top 5 in 2wd going anywhere.......

[jimmy]

are they all AE drivers ?

[stefke]

Whatever happened to the CAT 4k prototype ?

[jimmy]

Schumacher took them back and dropped the off road team to concentrate on touring and their toy range.
Perhaps they will come back one day.
:confused:

[stefke]

Such a shame. Not only did the 4k prototype looked "right", if it was anywhere as good as the CAT2000 was in it's day, I would be running a british car again.

[MATTY]

So who is driving for who next season!
I see losi has just about lost everyone! Y we may never know?

[Chris Doughty]

LRP/AE/Proline/CML/Atomic-Carbon for me! :D

AE B4 2WD
Atomic-Carbon S4 4WD

both LRP powered!

[losixxx]

So who is driving for who next season!
I see losi has just about lost everyone! Y we may never know?

i wouldnt exactly call loosing 2 driver's (although 2 top driver's) just about loosing everyone. they still have the national champion and several 2006 national winners in the team!

[BenG]

I am drving for tyrc-racing.com, teamYRD, and White Rose Motors;)

[telboy]

I'm racing for ME! lol

will schumacher regret dropping the off road team? what with all the other major manufacturers making competition buggies. and hot bodies joining in the fun too, looks like off road is making a proper come bac again.......

..what goes around, comes around....

:D

[Lee]

I am pretty sure they will have something in the pipe line, they wont be standing still they are always developing new stuff, and with schuey its always different:D

[Spencer Mulcahy]

Ive still got a fireblade for a few weeks anyway will be at batly on the 12th G.

[Northy]

Cheers, :D

[woOdy]

I have just had an email! to say I have been dopped off my team. Nice.

[PaulRotheram]

WTF? did they give a reason for it woody?

[woOdy]

no not really. just that they where moving the A team about. I am now an pit man for Lee Martin.

[jimmy]

Very sorry to hear that woOdy :( I don't think you should pack in the wheel tho.

[PaulRotheram]

Sorry to hear woody, their loss though mate! They're stupid to loose you. Don't pack in yet, i'm sure somthing is around the corner!

[woOdy]

[woOdy]

Sorry. But wots this Aero thing about? will some one show me, I am stupid when it comes to this forum. I cant find anything.

[jimmy]

:thumleft:

[woOdy]

its just an xxx4. nothing different but the alloy chassic. wot difference has it made and wot could it do better than the original?

[Lee]

it will bend long before it snaps:D

I think thats about it:o

[notlawnomis]

I believe the shell is more 'aero'dynamic than the losi, there's also an aero 2 otherwise known as the 'twin pack', but not sure if that shell has been finalised yet ;)

Nice brown!!

[Northy]

Told ya, brown is the future.

[PaulRotheram]

aero are theifing us with the new bar, the old one used to be a solid peice, no funny shapes - more choc! the new one is all curved and madness so they rob us of chocolate :(

[Nick Goodall]

Anyone remember Wispa's? Where oh where did they go!!

[PaulRotheram]

at the last msn orgy we decided we would like to see a 'real' creme egg - easter egg size.

[jim76]

they were great. all "velvety"!!

[DCM]

mmmm, Whispa's....

Cream Egg's, they are sickly in a small size, and how the heck would you manage to lick it out (ooooeeeerrrr)..... tongue would never reach the end

As for this year, I shall be mostly running Tamiya (care of Fusion Hobbies and tinternet), Tekin (for ESC and charger), Team Almighty for cells and motor, BlueBird for servo's and receiver (hopefuly) and dragon paints for keeping me awake at night and paintjobs....

u stick yer face in there!

[notlawnomis]

Although not completely fulfilling your desires, there is a petition to increase the size of creme eggs http://www.kingsizecremeegg.co.uk/index.htm

http://www.kingsizecremeegg.co.uk/eggs.gif

Now that would take something special, for a full licking out :tongue: :elephant:

Perhaps a spoon may help!!

[losixxx]

i will be running with the help of CDS models

x-6, spashett motors, kc racing ib3800's, ko servo, futaba 3vc and spektrum, quantum 2, pulsar charger

xx4 worlds, with same as above apart from ib4200's

[ashleyb4]

You lot shouldnt take the 'mickey' out of ryan and ben making the aero 4 and aero 2 The aero 4 is going to be a carbon fibre double decked car and i think it was a bit harsh of you lot to speak like that about it these to lads are 14 and 16 what do you exspect they are not a multi million pound company like losi or assosiated. The designs are good the idea's are there. They have got themselves a company to machine the carbon fibre and alloy parts. And ther are new bodys shell etc. J concept started out with a small idea look at them now.

All i can say is good luck to the lads and hope the aero2 and 4 are succesful.

p.s rant over

[Chris Doughty]

whats it like on the other side of the fence ashley? maybe you will understand why forum admins find some of your comments frustraiting!.... i hope

[ashleyb4]

sorry i forget its just annoyed me the way some people where taking the mickey out of the aero 4:mad: . And i was a forum admin for a while chris i know what it is like.

A

[jimmy]

:)Ash, where is this mickey taking ? People having a laugh about the name, nothing to do with the work those lads have put in whatsoever. The only other thing I saw was a critique, which is what its all about really, asking questions and getting answers.

[ryan]

say what you want about the alliminuim versions i made them in the gargage with a jigsaw and file and i no they do look crap. the designs are being send of to platinum racing this week to be made out of carbon fibre it has the same cell layuot as the x5 i am also getting diff houses cnc machined out of alliminuim like the bx so it will not be that much similar to the xxx4.

Ryan
oh and nestle try to rip you of as you only get half amount of the chocolate than you think.....still yummy though!!!

[jimmy]

just remember tho ryan - BROWN !!!

[ashleyb4]

I find this annoying the way woody is just knocking all the work ryan has done what makes it diffrent ??? Well the chassis is diffrent meaning diffrent chassis flex diffrent handeling. And in a previous thread http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1360
xx4 nutter (stu i believe) said it was a big improvement over the bumps unlike the original xxx4.

The reason i was annoyed is because the way woody put the question.

its just an xxx4. nothing different but the alloy chassic. wot difference has it made and wot could it do better than the original?

[ryan]

xx4-nutter= gary with the ice age squirell lol

[DCM]

DUDE, chill, you come on these forums, if the idea is good, we discuss it, if the idea is bad, we tell you, you are barking up the wrong tree. What Woody said is correct, if it is a XXX4 (which wasn't a good off-road car) with a metal/carbon chassis instead of a moulded tub, what difference is there, not like an X-5 or S4....

[Lee]

I dont think anyone was having a go at all i think it was all quite funny actually and any name can be made out to be daft, for instance i have a thing for BJ`s:o :D
But seriously i think its great that you are putting in the time and effort let alone the cash to have it done, i hope it works for you.
The only thing i do wonder about is how do you make something better than what exists at the moment by using current parts.:confused:

[jimmy]

Ashley, woody has been racing since long before you were born, so he does know a thing or two. He asked various questions in that message you quoted- he didn't say "this looks crap" by any stretch of the imagination.

[ryan]

The cell layout is 4x2 instead of 6 down the side, the other parts of the xxx4 where fine just the layout.

DUDE, chill, you come on these forums, if the idea is good, we discuss it, if the idea is bad, we tell you, you are barking up the wrong tree.

[woOdy]

I was interested in what difference it made to the car. The xxx4 was not known for going over bumps and if this concept made it do that then this is a winner. I was not saying anything bad about this car. If its just 2 young lads trying there best then please let someone with a bit of know how on developing carsgive you some feed back.

[ryan]

i only tested the 4x2 layout car in my garden where i was a lot faster than i was with my bx. gary (xx4-nutter) helped me test the car which i made out of 2mm alliminuim ( this is for the prototypes only as it is cheap...free from my uncles work, lol) he said he was quicker with the car than he was normaly with the xxx4. i spoke to phil truman who also did something very similar which he said was an amazing car and he also gave me a few ideas and how i could improve mine:)

[Lee Martin]

first, ashley shut up!!!!!

you should try reading things and think before you say stuff, ur annoying me now, woody said nothing wrong, and there is not a nicer bloke in the world than woody.....so back off now.

2nd;

the aero 4 is a good design. the reason the xxx4 was pants was because the wait in the car was not set right. the aero 4 chassis should help put weight over the rear and make the rear end work better in bumpy conditions. the xxx4 is still good on flat surfaces thats why they all still use it in the states!

[PaulRotheram]

Wooo, think anything that has needed to be said has been said. If any one wishes to continue to talk about team drives make another thread.. I'll put this one to bed ;)
