Give Pidge a 3 wheeled brick and he'd probably still make the A with it

Great report as always.. 7 makes of 4wd in the final that is excelent and shows how competitive the class is.

[Nick Goodall]

Superb report as always Jimmy - You always manage to keep it interesting!

Well done to Neil and Lee, awesome results, good job Stan in 2wd and especially Mossy in 4wd with the Cat - A great outdoor Debut for the car so i hope this increases the interest even more (p.s it must have been the strength testing i did that helped)

[Jimbo]

Excellent report as always Jimmy

Very interested in the forthcoming chassis 'expose', especially who is running brushed/brushless and what exactly they are running.

No one I know has had much luck in 2wd with brushless, so interested in knowing what those that use it succesfully are up to.

Keep up the good work!

I always like reading about your National series over there, and as always Jimmy's excellent photos make it even more enjoyable.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the performance of the new Cat too, almost as good a debut as the Aero last year.

I would say the whole 2wd A final ran brushless. I would be suprised if anyone ran brushed

[bigred5765]

brushless is so much better than brushed in 2wd
as long as you dont try running silly 4 turn motors lol
more control,better performance, and no silly skimming and re brushing

Serious?

my brushless was amazing!

this year I ran 6.5 LRP X11 motor 12.5mm sintered rotor (bonded would have been good though, I think Yardy used one) speedo settings 2-3-2-2 on an LRP Sphere Comp/TC in my B4 geared on 22/78

LRP Fat Cobra 4600 Batteries which were not short of a few volts.

my car was so smooth and LOADS of mid-top end.

[jimmy]

Maybe a lot of people were 'overpowered' at first. I've not tried these slower motors or smaller diameter rotors, but all sounds good if Neil can win with a 7.5

[dave g]

great report as usual jimmy and well done pidge,keep it going.

[Kopite]

yeah, i was running a 6.5 sintered, but i think either a 6.5 bonded or 7.5 sintered would've been a little easier to drive in 2wd.

...but brushless is far and away my favourite change since i came back into racing, followed by Spektrum. The best thing about brushless is that i don't have to worry about buying one and it being naff (which i had a lot of during the older days of brushed).

[MattADH]

I ran bonded as I am using a borrowed 6.5 in my 2WD although I am going to switch to 12.5mm sintered rotors in both classes for Oswestry...

Yes I need to tweak the gearing and speedo settings but there are a number of benefits to sintered.

I also think that with a year of experience, racers have learnt how to reduce the chances of water getting in and causing problems.

[Robbo]

Sweet report dude! Always good, and some awesome shots once again! Nice to see my 2WD making the banner too! Cheers man, looks cool!

[GRIFF55]

Which 2wd would that be mate!! Bit harsh, sorry
