You do a very nice tack

[Fabs]

Would have loved to come shame it's on a week day :cry:

[bigred5765]

same here week days are bad for me,shame it looks awsome

[YoungChazz]

You get these boys over in the U.S. racing on actual dirt and it's amazing what happens!

[BagofSkill]

I'd definatly in for this.

Is 2wd running mod and stock- or unlimited only? I haven't done off road in years, (lots of TC though). Will I waste my time turning up with a 27T or 23T in the car?

Are Pro Line tyres compulsary from the off?

[PTRU]

I beleave pro-line tyre from the off they should be on sale at the track I am sure Lee or Tony will confirm this.

[RogerM]

Oh, must check diary! Look cool to me though.

[sebx6france]

[learnerdriver]

will it be just control tires on the rear axle only OR both axles ?

[andy reeves]

Entry just sent :thumbsup:

[Chrislong]

Well done lads, great work.

Is it control tire for rear axle, or driven wheels?

[jono83]

what would be the proline tyre of choice? am unsure not raced on dirt like that before

[panch]

Just sent email booking three 4wd's in.. cant wait chaps, finished article looks good.. :)

[budgio]

Entry sent ;)

[Wicked-Wayz]

Looks like a pretty sweet facility.

Peace Aaron(W-W)

[BagofSkill]

Sent my entry for 2WD today too.

[Teddy truman]

dont forget to send your entrys in :-) :thumbsup:

[Richard Lowe]

At a guess it'd be M3 Holeshots depending on how damp the surface is :confused:

[lexx007]

So you can only use Proline tyres on the track. Are there any limitations on cars? I use both brushless and stock motors with losi and tamiya chassis. Are these ok? As for the Losi chassis im not sure they do a proline tyre in the hub size. The tamiya will take pretty much any standard tyre but the losi has proved to be problamatic on wheel changing. I have some Ansmann buggy wheels i could modify that have the same tread as proline. Are these acceptable?

[PTRU]

which Losi will you be running 2wd or 4wd?

Only Pro-line tyres as per entry conditions.
Wheels are free you can run any type.

As far as cars are concerned as long as it is 1/10th off road not a problem.

As per first post

[BagofSkill]

Will tyres be available trackside from the first meeting? I've got exactly the same problem with a Losi XXX 2WD. Anyone know a shop with Losi rims in stock?

And what are the recomended tyres? Low profile 4 rib fronts (#8175-02) and Holeshot rears?

[Richard Lowe]

The rear wheels on current Losi and AE cars fit either car guys :)

[BagofSkill]

Didn't know that! Cheers!

But does that mean the fronts aren't universal? Mu Losi has a little hex drive (the bearings are in the hub) and a 1/8 stud.

[lardshow]

you need actual losi fronts but the rears are close, not sure if they have quite the same offset though, if you need some wheels let me know i'm sure i can sort you some out. :thumbsup:

[markwilliamson2001]

Might be interested in a Sunday/BH Monday meeting at some point. Would it be possible to run my T4 truck if we had some of them? I want to use up the kit tyres that came with it LOL!

All the best
Mark

[AlisdairO]

Hey, I can't make it this time, but is there a schedule for events, or weekly races, or anything?

[BagofSkill]

Is there any comformation that tyres will be availabe at the race next week?

I need for 2WD Wide Rib Front (PL8176) and Hole Shot Low Profile rear (PL8184) I think? Anyone correct me if I'm wrong because I know nothing about off road tyres.

Cheers, Chris.

[Teddy truman]

lee posted a little while back on here that MK racing should have tyres in from today?


as for future meetings.. this wednesday will be the first meeting and depending on how we get on etc we plan to run every wednesday night tbc...

and we will be sorting future sunday events including big events like the proline dirt challenge 10th..

yes eventually we will run truck as they prob the best class that goes round this track along with 2wd.. just depends on numbers:thumbsup:

1st meeting will just be 2wd and 4wd tho with some SC

Thanks

Tony

[AlisdairO]
