Hi,

What tyres are you guys running (2WD B4)

Thanks.

[Chris-S]

Mini pins seem to work very well on the b44, wear is very good as well. I think I saw a few of the 2wd guys running mini pins as well, some were also running holeshots on the rear and ribs on the front.

[Matt_N]

Whats the state of the SCT class? What's the most popular motor wind and what tires are people running?

Matt

[Chris-S]

Couple of people interested so far. Beanie and Matt were both running 6.5t motors on 2s packs.

[budgio]

[slow bob]

THANKS MATE :woot:

I have raced 1/18th before so i have changed my order to a 6.5 turn motor if i find it to fast i can always slow it down lol

Nope, I have a 10.5 in my SC10 currently, seems to be about right i think...

I've just spent £522 on tyres! The only positive thing about that is even if I tell her they cost that much she won't believe me. :lol: Not even I could believe the bill when I saw it! :o

[slow bob]

LMAO :woot:

how does anyone have 522 quid to spend on tyres ???

i still think you are a some sort of secret agent or diamond smuggler carl :cool:

Does that mean you're going to be at Taplow this Friday with your buggies Carl? ........... you've obviously got plenty of tyres :thumbsup:

[frogger]

Alec you'll be surprised to hear I bought Darren's CAT SX off him on Monday night for my boy. :thumbsup: At the moment I have no 10th buggies for myself yet and if Schumacher finally decides to ship the damn things then yes I would love to come and race them at Taplow!

I could bring the Shark but this Sat is open day at Wycombe starting at 11am till late and there is no way the wife will let me race Friday night and all Saturday!

When is the next Taplow meeting? :eh?:

[slow bob]

I think they normaly do one meet every 2 weeks on the friday :thumbsup:

i wont be attending this one as i still have no sv to use ..

[Chris-S]

Postcode of the venue is SL6 0LX. The car park for the racing is opposite maypole road, there are two large swing gates and a new looking buiding behind the gates. My number is 07703838803 if you need help finiding the site. I'll put up a sign outside the gates.

[Welshy40]

Im there this friday. My car brakes arent what they used to be but they work so i will get there. Ive got my zxs ready and moved the weight balance to better its jumping characteristics. Game on.

[Smartalec]

Me and Lew will be there and a few of the lads from PDA will be making their first trip too :thumbsup:

[Beanie]

Quick ask, does anyone who is going to Taplow tomorrow perhaps have A lower servo saver arm for a B4/SC10 ?:(

Broke this on my SC10 and won't get chance to get another in time for tomorrow night, anyone got one I can use and then replace?

Cheers:)

[hazeandfizz]

Beanie,

I'm making my first trip to your club tonight with a few other guys who race at PDA, I have a new in packet servo saver assy.

Cheers,
James. (Bloke with a white/checked B4 and white/yellow T4)

P.S RC10 T4 for sale if anyone interested.

[hazeandfizz]

Top effort Janos and Chris, top track and location. Great nights racing, anyone thinking of turning should do so.

Sorry James, the ones of your B4 were very poor so they ended up on the editing room floor:blush:

Next time I'll get some for sure.

[Smartalec]

Excellent night, thanks Yanos and Chris. I actually managed to complete a whole night without anything at all going wrong with the car ........... charger blew up though :(
Will try and get a few more people to attend these great evenings :thumbsup:

Ditch the one way and lift it off the ground and it'll be fine :thumbsup:
