Are there different classes?

[b4rs]

its only been going 2 weeks as yet, but we are pretty much stock. but we have races involving aound 5-6 people x2. then we split them into A-B finals. because there is no timing equipment, they count laps. its a really friendly atmosphere.

bring wot u got northy, b good to see u there!

[Northy]

I have a crazy fast brushless mini-t

G

[b4rs]

bring it along but i doubt ull need it, stock is fast enough on that track.

[Northy]

It's all I have!

good laugh tonight - it was a BIT mental, very tight track and savage racing! haha. No jumps sadly, to cater for the 18th scale rally cars etc I guess.
Got the Xray M18T Pro working nicely and even won the a final by 2 laps! bargain - well worth 4 quid!

[b4rs]

not bad at all, i came joint second so was worth it for me. but yeh, very hectic and dodgem's style racing, especially with the b final.

[MRD]

Good night, could do with not cooking two motors again tho, gets expensive , lower gearing and no more lipos me thinks.

[jimmy]

haha, 2!!!! maniac. I had to break out the heat sink - and my motor didn't smell too nice after the final. That track was a bit savage in terms of stop-start-stop on all those hair pins! good tho, I'm sure I'll be back

[MRD]

Crispy,






That Fusion motor was just over 140 degrees C. It was smoking and unsoldered the wires.

Hey, i went to the race last wednesday (first time) and it was absolutly bril. Great atmosphere!

Is tyre additive ok to be used? It was very slippy for the 18R's, and struggled to get the power down without spinning out.

[MRD]

Good to see some new faces . The carpet is slippy so pins are the best option but dont fit the R. When we were using the carpet at Pudsy addatives weren't aloud but nothing's been said since. I'll bring it up on Wednesday.

Having an R myself I converted it to a truck untill my factory team truck comes so I can run pins, unfortunately electrical probs denied me a win this week but next week I'm ready for a win .

My R

[b4rs]

not as good as my Bodge Truck.
and you know it.

but yeah, looks like its slowly populating, hopefuly we might have regionals and supersups coming soon?

anyway, the site is almost finished so i may aswell post (if its okay jimbob)
