Short Course Nationals This weekend

[ironmangav]

I was wondering what tyres people were using at notts and derby race track this weekend,judging by the you tube clips on there sight the track seems like astro but with alot of loose sand on top or has it cleared up since?
Ill be running the sc10 4x4.

like any other astro track it is best to start with Kourse Kings, tyre favoured at most uk tracks.

I'm playing with Bullseyes on my 4wd atm and they are good on wet astro but the sidewalls collapse if you stick it into a corner too fast on dry astro so its a case of leaning it in, found they are great on wearing grass tracks though!

Entry looks good for this round and looking forward to seeing the 4WD Associated in action, its got a lot to prove with the Durango's being top dog atm,

will be nice to stretch the Losi's legs against other 4WD types again... done a lot of work with it since the first SCT National and getting used to its lardyness and gearing!

I'm expecting some big jumps this weekend as NDOR is a 1/8th track so it might be down to strength as well as speed...

used the bulls eye on my slash 4x4 on the first round and worked pretty well.
Dont look at the sc10 4x4 performance based on my driving,in the proper hands im sure it will do well.
It is way better than the slash though turns fast.
No sway bars as yet for it.
Looks like some big jumps as you say this weekend.

Just to let everyone know the track will be open for practice on the Saturday fro 10am and we have got a full canteen on site selling everything from bacon and egg to pukka pie and chips

There is camping and that will cost you nothing, yes you are getting something for free.

I hope that everyone has a good time at NDOR.

will anybody be selling spares there as if been waiting for modelsport to get me some tyres(7 days for 1st class postage???) so i was just hoping that someone might be selling spares(wheels and tyres) to suit and sc10,also will there be any practice on sunday morning? as im working saturday......

Quincy,
I believe there is a trackside shop there on sunday so should be ok for wheels and tyres.
The track will be open for open practice on sunday morning from approx, 08:30hrs till 09:45hrs, so should have plenty of time for practice.

I've heard on the grapevine that 1/10th buggys are being run in support... ?

good idea to boost appeal and charging time between rounds, especially since SCT's are a 'second' fun car to buggy drivers i race with.

its very short notice but if confirmed then is there a cap on entries bearing in mind its an SCT meeting?

as there is a 1/10th mid east 4WD Regional at NDOR later this season, sure the mid east drivers would welcome track time and there are a fair few booked in with SCT's already.

Anyone with some sct experience at ndor recommend a starting ratio for sct please? Will be either a 10.5 Or 7.5 motor I'll be running

Cheers
