Petit RC - Who is racing what?

[mikeyscott]

As I've booked into Petit with a friend over the weekend I thought I'd pose the question of what are your running?

Myself at the moment

2WD - XXCR (unless I get a B4 for the event)
4WD - Cat SX :)

[Belsten]

b4 & b44

[SimonW]

Kyosho RB5 and ZX5-FS.

[burgie]

I'm not sure if racing is the correct terminology, but I will be in attendance attempting to get my X6 and X11-08 around the track.

I have a long and proud history of being last qualifier at events such as these and I am hoping to carry on that tradition. :cry:

I'll put money on myself finishing behind you :cry:

[b4pete]

are there any spaces left in 4WD does anyone know?

[burgie]

I'll put money on myself finishing behind you :cry:

Now there's a challenge! The race for last place is ON!

[Alfonzo]

Pete - pretty sure there are spaces. Book in, it's a great event.

I'll be racing my trusty and battered B4 & X10.

[Battle_axe]

i may have to get down there if my xxx4 gets here and built in time

Me im racing a Lazer ZX-S in 4wd and a B4 in 2wd

[mikeyscott]

Class Act!!! Fun is what this game is all about!

Me im racing a Lazer ZX-S in 4wd and a B4 in 2wd

And that's why I have entered. Spent lots of money on a hobby I love and it's time I get beaten elsewhere! Only ever raced at Titchfield (well I don't count a trip to a Tony Evoka event 16 years ago or so with my Cougar 2000)

Now there's a challenge! The race for last place is ON!

You're on! :D - person in last buys the bacon rolls

[Welshy40]

Hehe thisll be entertaining.

[mikeyscott]

Hehe thisll be entertaining.

Have I bitten off more than I can chew...

:rolleyes:

It's going to be a very hard weekend, but looking forward to it. Steep learning curve etc.

[burgie]

Hehe thisll be entertaining.

It will, but I must admit to being quietly confident. :thumbsup:

[mikeyscott]

It will, but I must admit to being quietly confident. :thumbsup:

Are we talking about both classes too :)

[burgie]

Oh yes. :lol:

Bollocks, ill bring me wallet then!

[mikeyscott]

Oh yes. :lol:

Cool.

(Thinks long and hard about the XXCR now... )

If I get stuck with setup on my Cat SX I'll ask for help.. Losi XXCR mmm that'll be a bit more difficult

I'm looking forward to seeing different machinery such as Predator, X5 & Durangos etc.

[andy reeves]

B4 and Cat SX for me:thumbsup:

[Welshy40]

Guys, im not in the competition for last place as i know i wont be that low down, however when at the event come over to the pit area that has a green bodyshell with a red dragon on and let me know what heats your in, as i will be up for a giggle as well as supporting you guys for the last place.

[b4pete]

Im there :D
BJ4, but will be there all weekend.
Do they have a raffle like at the players? (as it sounded mint!) lol

[showtime]

Kev Lee was bottom qualifier in 2wd last year if i remember rightly :woot:

yes there should be a raffle, there was one last time

B4 & B44 on my table

Must have broken something.....


So petit produces lots of breakages?

that puts me off running a xxcr

[showtime]

can't say why Kev was down there, think he'd just had a bad day.
it happens


as for broken bits the track wasn't necessarily a car breaker & there's no reason to think this years track will be!
i broke my car trying to do the impossible & stuck it hard into a brick wall :lol:

other than that we had no probs at all :thumbsup:

[mikeyscott]

What motors do people run? I've got a X11 7.5 in the XXCR and a Losi 7.5 in the cat SX

[burgie]

WUSS. 7.5?????

5.5 is the only way to go in 2wd.

thinking about it, there-in could be the reason for so many last places! :blush:

Welshy, I will come and introduce myself, it will be fun to see a bodyshell painted up with my mother-in-law's portrait!!

I am really looking forward to this event now. Where is everybody staying?

The cars go nicely with the 7.5s

Got an offer of someones floor (DC's), but comfort in the hotel seems tempting at the moment. The one on Petit's site.

[RogerM]

What was the track like on tires ... trying to do a budget plan for the weekend .. looking quite scary at the moment .. if I can make the books balance then I'll book in and hope!

[Belsten]

no problem at all with tyres rog, 2 sets absolute max, you could probably get away with 1 set the speed you go round :p

[RogerM]

LOL ... is that low tire wear because your wheels are always off the bround 'big-air' :p

Cheers, so 2 sets per car so 4 sets in total ... ok, I think I have 2 new sets and 2 sets with only 1 or 2 runs on in the box which would be fine for practice / working out where is the most spectacular to crash :woot:

Cool ... quick chat to the boss then I'll be booking in!

Cool!! that makes quite a force in the Kyosho corner!! :woot: as in numbers, not particulary in mint drivers! lol!! :thumbsup:

Big Air.. well scrubbed in tyres then are order of the day?

Nick
:thumbsup:

[Belsten]

tyres dont need to be scrubbed as there was a lot of carpet last year, you just dont need a new set every run or 2 or anything similair

[RogerM]

OK,

booked in ... paid so hopefully I'll have made it in.
Also booked into the Remada, good shout there Nick :D

Will be running K' cars

2WD:- RB5, speed passion 8.5
4WD:- ZX5-FS, speed passion 6.5

[spud31]

im running truck T4 an great as only one real tyre choice lol
and cat sx in 4wd
On tyre choice a worn front set would be perfect as grip will be very high on carpet

[mikeyscott]

Now running a B4 in 2WD and will be ordering various tyres shortly.. Thankfully we running mini pins in the wet at Titchfield so they'll get used.

I assume ballistic buggy mini pins will be too much grip.

[super__dan]

Not really, they'll just be crap and wear out really quick.

I'm sure I used 1 set all day in 2wd last year (not making the A) and 2 sets in 4wd where I did make the A(s).

Cheers,

I'll be doing an order for mini pins fairly soon.. Prob go for two sets for both classes just in case. I'll use them elsewhere anyway.

To save costs I may get the pre glued combo from Schumacher for the Cat SX, but not sure if the foams are right

Going to get some Jconcepts wheels for the B4 :)

It still doesn't say farting :lol:

The other one we found when looking for the Chinese was better :p

[mikeyscott]
