CR2 takes 1st National win

[OldTimer]

Well done to Danny and Andy for getting two CR2's into the A final at Stotfold :thumbsup: from memory danny tq'd two rounds plus a 3rd in round, and in the finals 2 leg wins and a 3rd i think but could be wrong to take the win. Andy Griff made his 1st ever appearance in a A final :woot: just sneaking in at 10th. Both guys were using the LHD version of the CR2 with Losi speedo's in reverse rotor mode.

Has Griff changed? he was running the rhd before wasn't he? I will have to change my race report haha

[OldTimer]

He was not changed that much as he still rolls with yellow wheels :lol: go and find him as your at the track ;) he might of gone lhd at erp or in belguim not 100% sure.

Your right with the round scoring and final places JC.

Thanks for the message, and a special thanks to JC for giving me the chance to race this car. I'll post a detailed setup when i have a closer look at my car know whats what.

Congrats Griff, if my car looked like yours did going round then i'm a happy man.

Lets hope this can continue :)

Thanks again

was talking to Jonathan at the weekend about which speedos allow you to do the revers direct thing, it seems the new range of speed passion will do it, take a look and let me no what you lot think,LINK (http://www.speedpassion.net/product.php?c=50&lang=&page=3)
I'm thinking the bit were it says motor rotation ccw will give you the option to go cw as well, has anyone tried this yet and can someone confirm,??

[DCM]

It is greyed out currently, so whether it is an option that will be enabled at a later date, with a firmware update??

I know the latest firmware for the Tekin RS Pro has a reverse rotation option too.

[Cockerill]

The Novak SLYDR's also allow you to run the motor in reverse ;)

[bigred5765]

yeh mr at said novak slydr esc,losi's esc,tekin's esc, but said he thought that was about it,

A few people have asked me if you can post your setup from the weekend, so dig out the car and get its setup posted ;)

I think RHR will be another interesting national as the CR2 does seem good around there as well.

Jonathan that is an understatement!!

I've raced my CAT against Danny around there and although I out qualified him he did beat me in the final!! :thumbdown: :lol:

Looks like Griff will beat me in the Nationals now....!!

Bring on the F2's!

[DaveG28]

I can never quite get my head round driveshafts! Danny, are you running standard xxxcr drive shafts/universals or whatever they are, or are their losi option parts that are better?

[Danny McGee]

hahaha, It took me a while to get my head round them too so dont worry :)

Im running the standard driveshaft that comes with the Losi xxxcr kit.

Simple as that really :)

[stical]

Danny,

What brass bulkhead are you using ?

[Danny McGee]

Danny,

What brass bulkhead are you using ?

Im using one that Paul Worsley made for me many years ago. Its the same as what trishbits do i believe. Although someone else may be able to correct me on that!

Also, although you use E rear hubs, if you were to use A,B or C, would you use the forward or aft positions?

thanks

position #2 on rear shock tower?

[Danny McGee]

yes :)

[Danny McGee]

antisquat. 2degrees

I think it would be A on the hubs, forward.

[fastinfastout]

thanks for the replies danny :drool:

I thought you had used E on the rear hubs.

or have you changed to a shorter camber link in the rear to get more rotation?
