Manta Ray with modern electrics, but still the old yellow plastic shocks. It died badly on me at the Oople Invernational but it was just the servo so should be OK now.

my last race was indoors so i've probably got a 12x in it

My Manta has a 6.5t in it though I only have to one pinion so the gearing is a bit off.
Rob was planning on using his Cougar - the ZXR is his indoor car.

I'm going to be coming last here lol
What tyres you using yellow mini spikes on the rear I assume what about fronts for 2wd? |
#16

I've got hammered yellow spikes front and rear, but most will argue staggers or cut staggers and rightly so that's what I run on the modern.
As for drive pins I've got you covered 1/16 solid or 1.5 roll pins.

Thanks Neil I'll leave my part worn slim minis on the front

Yellow minispikes all round for 4wd. I'm not sure staggers would be right on a vintage, and I don't just mean for aesthetic reasons either. They don't have the turn in modern cars do. My RC10 also runs minispikes both ends - I tried staggers but it just didn't work right. It doesn't help that its hard keeping the cars nose down at all with a modern motor.
Curiously though staggers up front and minispikes rear is perfect on my RC10, but then a full truck width set of staggers is a pretty beastly tyre.

I'm hoping to be running my cougar 2. If I get chance to put the electrics in. I will be using a 7.5t motor with a nosram pearl Speedo.
I'm thinking blocks on the rear as it may be kinder on the belt and slipper as they dont have as much bite. Last edited by rob m; 13-09-2016 at 08:08 PM. |
