Racing - Sunday 24th April 2011

[mikeyscott]

I'll be racing properly this weekend 2WD again.

Who is in?

[RobW]

Me. Need some practice before the first all day event.

Racing my X6 but secretly hoping to get beaten by the Losi 22s so I can convince myself I actually need a 22 rather than just want one!!

Maybe you should have a chat with Steve as his is going up for sale! Failing that Rich D has one for sale on the forums and his kit is always very very nice. Chris Elis I think is also looking to offload his too and I believe maybe looking at an X6 again!

[lordnikon]

If I can get a car in time then I would like to see what the tracks like. Will try and pop along anyways to say hi

Sadly no 'leccy fun for me... racing nitro at Clanfield to shake down the new truggy ready for the first round of the Nationals at Herts the following weekend.

Quiet weekend for TORCH then potentially as assume Tony, Dave, Cammers will be at Clan too?

Def 2WD for me then, but may just runa testing session ready for the Summer Series. I.e. 2WD round 1 4WD round two etc.

Phil's looks good, but Steve and Phil can make any car look good.

Remember it's also driving style. Steve HATED the X6 when he tested one.

What about the new c4.1 from CML?

I love my Vega apart from the price and the shell. SV, Vega and 511 will be my fleet for 2011. Vega and 511 for the regionals, but prob just doing 4WD

Bloomfield would have put it in the A if he hadn't been on the reserve list at the national

I'd guess all the Clanners will be absent, either racing there or (in Jamie K's case) playing with the big nobs at the Neo... so could be a bit quiet. Most will probably be back the week after, think it's only me and Tony RC doing the Nats, depends how many decide to do the SRS @ Slough. Man, too much racing, not enough time!

Glad you commented on the Vega shell, was going to comment on it's 'uniqueness' myself. Having said that, many people seem visually offended by the Gainabull shell on the Durango.

Yup Gainbull is marmite for me. Eww. Original shell much nicer!

[hotrodchris]

[focusmad]

22 is a great car, I will probably give it a run the weekend, its a really safe car to drive and very comfortable driving style fior anyone, a little boring to tbh, the sv and vega seem to be more nimble! Maybe something to do with the addition of nearly 200 grams to the car?

Chris Ill have a nice heavy weight to place under the lipos, not a nice shiney brass one This will help settle car down, however the 55 grams on the back is a must.

[focusmad]

mikey,i have got a orca vritra vc4 pro mk2 speedo and trinity d3 7.5 motor so we will see how this goes on sunday if not happy will sell the 22, trying it in rear motor this weekend just to see if it suits me more
