So what will it be this week chaps? same again? quite like the idea of me/Gui on rubber tyres chasing down Martin/Scott on foams

There was some good, close racing taking place on friday - just like clubman should be

Wasn't too bad was it? In the end I managed to clock the same number of laps as the foamies with you Chris right on my tail Might be better if Scott goes to rubber tyres as well and we all chase down Martin. We were 20 secs behind them over the whole 5 mins And my car could benefit from some more grip and yours from less oversteer. We can do it Chris

My car burn out though, so probably no Clubman for me next week till I get the bits to sort it out anyway. Will prob go brushless 13.5 or 17.5.

PS: The poor lil TL01 still stinks of burn stuff!

The pits did smell a little bit of burning after your incident! I've got a LIPO SAFE brushed esc you can borrow on friday if you want

Hopefully, running a tighter front diff should sort out my oversteer. How about trying some 24s for extra grip?

Sorry about the stink, my son kept asking when the smell would go away.

That's the plan, some softer tyres for starters And new electronics... perhaps just a new brushed ESC, but the old HPI 15T doesn't have a lot of poke coming out of corners.... lethargic....

Yeah absolutely happy to run rubbers next Friday if you are participating Gui can you borrow the stuff from Chris if not is there anything I borrow you to get you going.

Martin, found a set of 28 sorex and a couple of sets of take off you can borrow if yours struggling for rubber and want to play ...

Gui if your not doing clubman us know and I'll leave the TT02 as it with foam ...

Scott.

On the motor/esc front, how about this combo:

http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking...arehouse_.html

You could go sensorless for less but at the moment Hobbyking don't have any 13T motors in.

I've got the 120A version of the esc for the buggy and its brilliant, but the 80A on will do fine for most uses - it says 10.5t limit on the spec but at 80A you are looking more like a 6.5T.

If you stay brushed there is also this that is LIPO safe:

Might be on the limit of the clubman spirit, but it is Tamiya and has a plastic tub chassis.

The Clubman spirit when down a drain long long ago, bring anything you want and sod the spirit

The spirit doesn't mean the same to everyone, certainly not when it comes to the car you run. As long as you consider it fun that's what matters.

Sorex do some 20s, or you are welcome to try my "Team Powers"

If you run 17.5T I will run my 17 with zero timing

Why do you say the clubman spirit has gone? Martin in and I were waiting for each other in the final, just so we could go at it together again and again ... That's pinnacle of the clubman spirit ....

Offering the use of ones tyres and equipment is pinnacle of the clubman spirit as well

The TA05 looks like a sweet car mate, go for it! It would be nice to see the two 17 turns go head to head Boosted they might just about keep up with the 13s
