Default Clubman :-)

Good clubman racing tonight, enjoyed the cramped final no end - thanks very much for the warm welcome for the most as usual ...

Whilst I love the F104 Pro the speed of the 21.5T F1's are a little quick for the clubman so the Tyrell with a Silver can is my future I think ...

However next week Stuart and I will be joining the Clubman Tamiya Tourers ... Ive re-radioed my standard kit FF03 and put a non sensored 13T hobbywing combo in to match the FF01 currently being ran, however im using standard rubber tyres not foams ... I think Stuart is going to be doing the same ... I seem to be out of brushed esc's :-( and 15 and 20 turn hpi saturns ...

Let me know if the above is not deemed appropriate for the class so I have time to rejig the power plants.

Thanks as always and looking forward to next week already

Scott.

If you want a brushed ESC I can sell you one identical to the one I run in my TL01 for £9. Brand new too! I can't complain about mine, works a treat

Chris is running a sensorless 13T in his FF01 and it is about right compared to the F1s. Same for my brushed 15T HPI that I tried today. The transmissions in the tourers have massive losses compared to the F1s, I tried running a silvercan and it is pointless when most of the field are F1s. I was still slower down the straight that half the F1 field with my 15T motor! Mind you, it isn't brand spanking, it has had a fair bit of use.

FWIW, I look forward to having more tourers in Clubman!

Excellent ... Ill try the 13T and take it from there .... what compound rubber are you using on your TL01?

Sorex 24s, but towards the end of a heat they are a little too grippy. Maybe it would be better with 28s, next time I'll try them without juice. As you say Chris runs foams for his FF01, but I have no idea what they are.

PS: I can't wait to see the FF03

Bring it on

Should be a really good heat next week.

My targets:
1) To keep my gearbox in 1 piece
2) to not get beaten by Gui's newly pimped TL01

You were killing me on the straight with your brushless motor! This could degenerate into a power war I do have that silly motor in my Losi that I could transfer to the TL01...

Actually, the easiest way to beat you is to conveniently forget my superglue.

I think with the FFs traction is the limit If someone ran one of those 13Ts in a TT01 or TL01 they might find that it goes like one of the TCs, but the FF probably just spins the wheels

I have a couple of sensorless setups at home, 12T and 9T. I don't intend to run them in the TL01 as I don't want it to break.
