Cool

Well a the moment if all the people turn up we are on for about 3 heats.

If they want to they can drop me a mail with the various details and I can provisionally book them in.

Sanwa 2.4ghz.
Was there much interest in running a championship series over the winter? perhaps just one of the sundays a month dedicated to a series. just a thought!!!

That is something we'd like to do

I have provisionaly booked in Mike but I will see in the morning, the weather is set to be very wet and it is a 45 min drive for me.

it's good so many people are saying they will be there, I will watch the local news and weather to night but it does not look good.

well I wonder how many people turned out today? it is hammering it down here (10.37) and with the heavy rain we had last nite the track must be a lake by now!

oh well I have more work to do on my car anyway so not a great loss.........

kettle has just boiled.........cuppa time

[wylie]

Weather started out dry but we had a very large downpour and racing was called off, the track was in very good shape even after all the rain we had and ten minuets with a broom and squeegy and most of the standing water was gone. Approx ten peaple turned up today

[mikeyscott]

Indeed what Wylie said..

We are planning on do a work party to do some more drainage near race control.

Otherwise all the new PT runners ran with the new system without any problems

Just need to get the speaker system sorted

[Matt-h]

At least we got 1 round in.

weeks prep for 5 minutes racing....i must be mad!

More like a week cleaning it up and 5 minutes to prep

Just stripped all the bearings out and put some oil on them. Will clean then when I come back home later.

Fried speedo today, really need some advice on what to do. i currently have a novak 6.5t light motor, now do i buy a new speedo £120 (GTB) or shall i buy the losi combo for £133 with 6.5t motor or open to other sugestions

[mikeyscott]

Ouch, was that water damage? Tekin RS Pro from US?

You could get a combo with a different wind motor? Dibble uses the Losi I think?

[wylie]

Took esc apart (terrible smell) no moisture at all inside the only part that was wet was the switch!!!

[mikeyscott]

Hi

odd, looked like it ran well to that point. Is it repairable?

I use the Losi 6.5 and bought it as a combo. I would recomend this to anyone looking at going brushless.

6.5 is plenty the esc is pre programed with an easly selectable off road setting.

if your switch got wet then a low voltage short circuit feedback might have made the speedo go pop............

Mike I know where to get cheap rubber shielded bearings, they do ceramic ones too
