Jconcepts - CML - AE ???

[PaulRotheram]

I've heard a few rumours regarding the three companys the thread speicifes. One was CML are taking over the distribution of JC, another was AE are taking over JC, and then will be imported by CML.

This was heard a few weeks ago, but this weekend gone, mr barton was back running a bj4, and now i notice cree has gone back to it also.. Can any one shed any light on to the situation? I'd love to know, as currently im struggling for parts in the UK!!

Can any of the CML team let us have an insight on the matter, or any one else for a matter of fact !

AE would rather me to run the BJ4 and the CML Yok team was too big and going to down size anyway. Thats why you have had some people doing some small changes. Also Craig Drescher has entered the off road nat's this year so I am doing lots of running with the car so he has a good base setup from the start.

[jimmy]

COOL, didn't know dresch was racing - good news. You did well to stay ahead of Tom at kiddy mate, can't be bad.

[BenG]

So is there a connection then? AE - CML - JC.


Oh I see what you mean now, AE prefer their 2wd racers to run 4wd almost AE cars, rather than Yoke ones;)

[rich_cree]

So far so good, feels dialled already!

[PaulRotheram]

what drive train are you prefering Cree/Barton? I've found the one way works near everywhere..

[jimmy]

front?
I know lowe has been running the centre a bit recently, and at bury metro it was surely a bit more consistent.. but still I am quicker (if I keep it together) with the front oneway.

[PaulRotheram]

I tried the centre one way.. Wasnt much of a fan of it.. but it was indoors. I'll be giving all 3 a good testing in the future.. for tiverton i think the centre one way will be getting a run for sure.

But i'm really digging the front one way for this car.. i normally dislike them.

[Chris Doughty]

front one-way forever!

will craig get in, after all he will be an f5:D

[SPRCIAL AGENT]

I always run the center one way but it is really horses for courses with the one way diff. Some tracks love it and some really hate it. If the ground is uneven or unpredictable then the one way diff is hard to hang on to but if it’s a predictable surface like Kiddy then it should be good. Saying that I ran the normal diff in the front of the car at kiddy but that’s only because I was messing with tyres all day. Yardy ran a (BJ4) one way diff in his car all day and was fastest.

[jimmy]

I thought that was a secret about Yardys one way! lol, oh well, the can is opened! haha

[Northy]

:rolleyes:

[jimmy]

Should I delete that bit? :D

I have to say tho, Yardys car was a crazy missile.

[jimmy]

btw mr.barton - is your screen name an accident, or did you mean to do that? I can change it for you if you want:D

[PaulRotheram]

its a special name !

[Northy]

Maybe his eyes are now a special shwape ;)

[OldTimer]

Would Yokomo be happy that there importer (CML) is also importing a direct competitors car as well ?.

I guess there is a lot more to this which we are not hearing about.

[PaulRotheram]

more likely you will be marshalling for him...

[ashleyb4]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

























Just cus your jelious.:wtf:

[rich_cree]

One way diff, layshaft or not. I know from a previous life (pre AE) that all three can be fast and you need to try them all to see what works best for you.

One way diff for example, some folk find it hard to drive, personally I sometimes find it helps because you can use the brakes to turn the car better and line up for next corner or jump, making it easier for me to drive. I think you need to be able to drive all three options well.

[jimmy]

I found when I drove a fixed 4wd car that I had to drive like an absolute maniac to go fast.. like REALLY thrash it and cook my motors.

[rich_cree]

That makes sense, the car slows down really fast when it's fixed 4wd. i think you really just need to drive how you drive and just get the car to work for you?!

[PaulRotheram]

Any chance of seeing the set up you have come to Cree/Barton?

I'll be doing a bj4 correspondence, and some info as such would be great for some ideas i'll be putting in to action.

Will an interview from either, or even better.. both of you at tiverton be ok also?

[SPRCIAL AGENT]

NO PROBLEM

[rich_cree]

ditto

[rich_cree]

we'll both be at indoor finals if thats easier/sooner?????

[PaulRotheram]

I'm not able to attend cree, my cells are not legal untill the week after the indoor finals are held, therefore my rides wont be able to race !! :rolleyes:

Tiverton would be ideal, as i've still got to sort alot of my own information out, it's an on going thing.. so I will aim to have questionininnings ready for then if that's alright.

It shouldn't be a problem look at MIRAGE with XRAY and HOTBODIES;) it would be great to get this car properly distributed, i don't know what it was like before????
