Your rite Dan! Hopefully ill be able to give double the trouble now I have 2 Chunks lol over kill this end?

It was brilliant to see a gaggle of Chunks at Sundays Micro national round! The start grid shot was really cool.

All drivers in 2wd 16th drove really well and Chunk looked really at home on polished sections of the track, fast down straight and nimble in the in field

Love it!

Well it happens in every other section...and seeing as I feel like starting a 2wd 16th revolution here....Show us your Chunks chaps...post up some pics and info if your a member of Club Chunk

Well after the C3 Chunk made contact with a track side marker (bad driving on my part) last night...its time to break out the spare for a meeting at Dudley prior to next round of micro nats...its got trailing axles fitted ...I know what your all going to say (including Si ) but needs must...anybody found any success with trailing set-up?....somebody say yes please lololol

[Thomas P]

I have been on trailing since day 1 on my chunk, and love it..im on Schumacher slicks rallyblocks, with Nosram sauce,,slightly understeer on powa, but the car feels superb...but i got green MLST springs, 30 rear 35w AE front, GHEA brass bulk front, stock 20 caster front with shortest link in the front...maximum outtravel on all 4 corners, ..the car is super dialed...

Aha Thomas ...my spare is running trailers with 30 degree caster (same as I run on my inline setup), green LST's at rear and blues up front with 30 weight oil in rear and 35 up front 20 grams just behind steering rack...not too far off yours then mate...although I'm on carpet and polish rather than astro dude

[Thomas P]

carpet here all day ...

[mrspeedy]

I reckon Thomas's secret is the ghea front bulkhead with bthe trailing blocks ... might be worth digging out some lead

[Thomas P]

Ohhh, Yes, the car is Amaizing...still 8 days to hard practice 2wd again...

I'm going to try more weight near bulkhead after first few runs if I feel it is needed...get over to the new blog and check out the Phat Bodies report mate http://offroadradiocontrol.blogspot.com/ you might like it

[Thomas P]

good blog, following it...

6 days left...BUT, if the Timing will be done, all focus on that one..for the time

Well I've ran the trailer up front twice now and if I'm totally honest....I really like them ....a little less steering mid corner but when I got into a flowing section the buggy was smack on...funny thing is...my C2 ran exact same motor, esc, lipo and gearing as my C3 but was smoother to drive!! I could push the buggy more in the tight sections and the trailers def didnt suffer any under steer as some people have found...

I'm going to stick with trailing axles and C2 for a few weeks and work on weight distro a bit more....fun...Chunk is ace!!

Well round 3 at Dudley today saw 10 Chunks from my counting. Great to see my favourite 1/16th tearing around in the hands of Si and Dan, Gav, Paul, Ben, and the rest of the Chunk family...class

All Chunks looked really well set-up with some nice rear wheel drive action from the lads

Breakdown of 2wd from yesterday were:

8 - Chunks
1 - Tamiya
1 - Kitten SV
1 - Mad Chimp
