batley supercup

[vinny20]

i still cant find a online booking system for the supercup does anyone know when it will be available:confused::confused::confused:

[James]

I believe Jimmys doing one so keep your eyes peeled in here and batley site . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[jimmy]

Sorry, me and john were just testing it last night and then I fell asleep before putting a link up

http://www.oople.com/rc/supercup2008/supercup2008.php (http://www.oople.com/forums/../rc/supercup2008/supercup2008.php)

http://www.oople.com/rc/supercup2008/supercupbiglogo.jpg

ANY problems, let me know on here or via PM. For booking-in enquiries then John Price (oscar) is the main man I think

[Chrislong]

On crystals, no option for 2.4gigas, so I just put 2.4 in each of the 3 fields.

[footey]

ive done the same chris:)

[Chrislong]

Ive just had a "failed mail delivery" email for it, to the address I entered as my contact email address..... is it working? anyone else?

[MikePimlott]

Mine returned too Chris

[hickston]

me 3

[rcracer]

same here

[jimmy]

Ive just had a "failed mail delivery" email for it, to the address I entered as my contact email address..... is it working? anyone else?

Thanks for letting me know, no problem, I will look at it - but fear not, I built in redundancy and there is in fact 2 email addresses that your entry goes to, the OOPLE one is working. The hotmail one might not be working anymore for some reason. I will ask john about it.
If you get two bounced emails, then you have a problem! haha :)

I will take out that primary email address for now, or change it so people don't think it's rejecting the entry (because it isnt)

It tells you in the "how to fill in the form" page what to do if you have 2.4ghz - just write whatever you want in the Xtal fields (all three) - 2.4 or whatever. Perhaps I should have put that next to the box tho eh.

[jimmy]

Fixed

Never noticed a page for how to, but it all works out correctly.

Glad its working now, and none of us who have had the rejected mail message will have to re-enter, good news, as I forgot my name.

[rcracer]

anyway of veiwing the entry list Jimmy or is it to early :D

[jimmy]

Sadly I'm no brian hopps, and it will all need collating manually - so no I'm afraid not. I'm sure John will try put a list together at some point or if not we'll con vicky into doing it. :D

[Fabs]

Oh well you won't see us lot TC drivers, it clashes with Carpet Wars...

[super__dan]

Perhaps Carpet Wars clashes with us? ;)

[Fabs]

Maybe for you, but not for us...

[telboy]

yeah, and with the don valley BIWS too.:mad:
I have to go there due to doing report for the mag.:(

I was realy looking forward to going too.:(

:(:(:(:(:(:(

[mark christopher]

what cell rules are they running to "brca list" or open as in lipo?

[Lindsay]

what cell rules are they running to "brca list" or open as in lipo?
Mark.
In past this meeting as always been run to BRCA rules.

[mark christopher]

Mark.
In past this meeting as always been run to BRCA rules.
yup did it last year, but being 2008 and the year of the lipo (allowed at the premier indoor winter series) thought they may take a step into the future.:cool:

[super__dan]

I'll discuss with Steve, but we normally run to BRCA Off Road rules.

[Oscar]

I don't believe we have ever had scrutineering at a Supercup event;);)

[Lindsay]

I don't believe we have ever had scrutineering at a Supercup event;);)

You must be new to this event as in the past it as had National Refs & Scrutineering

[Chrislong]

You must be new to this event as in the past it as had National Refs & Scrutineering

Sorry, I remember it the same as John, and if anyone would know, its John as he is involved with running it.

[Lindsay]

Sorry, I remember it the same as John, and if anyone would know, its John as he is involved with running it.

Unfortunatly my memory is of the Old Super Cup ie Mtronics sponsered days.

[Chrislong]

Unfortunatly my memory is of the Old Super Cup ie Mtronics sponsered days.

Ah okay :) I guess you've not missed many meetings. I think at the supercup briefing, it was said that rules are to BRCA, but no scrutineering and its down to trust that we all don't take the pistacios. I could be wrong there.

Personally, id like for Lipo to be allowed. The more chances I can get to see other people using it, the more confident I will be in using it when the BRCA do allow it. Its down to us all to agree it I suppose.

Chris

[mark christopher]

id like to run lipo, to brca weight too

[b4rs]

sounds great, hope to make it if my dad'll take me.

[footey]

hi there ie booked into this event in both classes who should i pm to unbook in 4wd as only want todo 2wd

[super__dan]

John Price (Oscar)

[jimmy]

John has limited access to the internet at the moment unfortunately - but PM him anyway and we'll sort it out

[footey]

cheers lads:thumbsup:

[Andy 2]

how much do we pay?
and is there a list of names of people that have booked in yet?

[Jamie B4]

Contacted Batley a couple of days ago and was told that there will be a list on their own web site a bit closer to the event

[Andy 2]

i booked in for 4wd but i want to change it to 2wd. i sent a pm to john like it was suggested to someone else but no reply? is there anyone else that can help me out?

[josh_smaxx]

I wanna come but i have no transport :thumbdown: i hate being under 17 and pretty much permenantly skint.

[LEGEND]

Josh stop complaining. I have to survive on only £15 a week, and i am not allowed a proper job yet. But there is always a wayof getting places. I mean if i wanted to go to every indoor meting i would have gone. I just couldn't be bothered thats all. So don't get yourself down, but as for the money thing you may want to ask somebody else about that. I have been in dept to many times.:lol:

[b4rs]

I wanna come but i have no transport :thumbdown: i hate being under 17 and pretty much permenantly skint.

same here, but hopefully my dad will take me. i have to survive on £5 a week so think ur self lucky!!:lol:

[Northy]

Survive? :o Do you guys know the meening of the word? :confused:

Try having to pay like £800 a month mortgage, then all other bills, food etc :mad:

G

[Wraggy]

same here, but hopefully my dad will take me. i have to survive on £5 a week so think ur self lucky!!:lol:
why dont you get yourselfs some sat jobs ???
im sure theres plenty about ...
thats what i had to do to fund my racing (many years ago)
even paper rounds !!!

[b4rs]

trust me i have tried, i went around huddersfield looking and nowhere wants anyone, then went round beginning of new year and i got the same answer. used to have a paper round, i got £8 for 40 papers a day up a huge hill, and 6 days a week, the guy wouldnt even up it to a tenner! so i quit that.

but i am looking for satdy/week evening work so if ur based in huds, im available!

[burgie]

...used to have a paper round, i got £8 for 40 papers a day up a huge hill, and 6 days a week, the guy wouldnt even up it to a tenner! so i quit that.

£8.00 for 40 papers? That can't be short of £8.00 per hour can it? £48.00 for 6 hours work? jeez, i would have quit that too. Any one doing a paper round must be worth £10.00 per hour......:mad:

[Markoxx4]

£800 a month mortgage!!! you lucky b!*tard....try £1900 a month... and only earn £5/week paper round!!!

Survive? :o Do you guys know the meening of the word? :confused:

[josh_smaxx]

and then again, if we didnt do rc. wed probably be rich, i know that for sure :woot:

Correction, for us young'uns if we didnt do RC our parents would be rich :woot:

Iv tried getting a job in a local model shop but they dont like me :thumbdown: lol. And the other shop gave the job to my mate, he asked over the counter and i wrote a letter and sent a CV aswell :thumbsup::confused: and the other shop is to small for more than 3 people to be in at the same time so i doubt he needs a saturday boy :(. And im not working in tesco's!

[Oscar]

i booked in for 4wd but i want to change it to 2wd. i sent a pm to john like it was suggested to someone else but no reply? is there anyone else that can help me out?

Sorry, I did get the message to change the booking. Consider it done;)

mark are you doing the supercup dude ;)

[PaulRotheram]

Anythin of a list happening? I know of people wanting in and no one is sure about how many spaces are left.. if any. :)

[Lee]

oh well , were all poor b***ards in the end lol :lol:.

and then again, if we didnt do rc. wed probably be rich, i know that for sure :woot:

You wouldn`t, seriously, if you think of what you spend on a weekend racing it aint that much, if you weren`t racing you would be out wih your mates and spend the same.

having said that the F345`s last year cost me £700 somehow and i have no idea where it went:(:lol:

[Oscar]

Anythin of a list happening? I know of people wanting in and no one is sure about how many spaces are left.. if any. :)

I spoke with Dianne this morning. She will load all entries onto the Computer by mid week. Once they are in, We can generate a competitor list which I will be able to load to the club website.

[jimmy]

Thanks for the update John
I'm looking forward to running at Batley again, it's been a while.

[b4rs]

me too, aint bin for ages, think about 5-6 month now. will have a new brushless lrp eraser in for the supercup. is theres sponsors this time?

[xx4-nutter]

this will be my first time ive run in the supercup :D

last time it was too late, but this year got booked in early and im doing it good and proper...

2WD and 4WD !

[Mike Hudson]

Me too :) last year i was booked in to do it and then couldn't go and had to cancel my entry:(

[b4rs]

i cant wait but i need to get everything runnng properly. and be prepared for breakges, as nearly every race i manage to break something

[Cockerill]

John/Jimmy/Batley, has a decision been made on Lipo? Will we be allowed to run it?

[b4rs]

dont count me on it, but im sure it was mentioned somewhere else as a "no". but its not for definate.

lets have hope...

but it would be unfair on the non-lipo'ers as lipo does have a slight advantage, (quite a bit really isnt it).

lol, could do a 2-cell lipo race though.

No offense, but that is why I directed my comment to John/Jimmy/Batley, as they are likely to know. I don't need a 'think' or 'maybe'.

LiPo raced side-by-side at worksop perfectly fine, I think they are very comparable performance.

[Danny McGee]

LiPo raced side-by-side at worksop perfectly fine, I think they are very comparable performance.

I'd like to know about the lipo too please, i have mine now and i want to try them, and i dont want to have to re wire my speedo AGAIN :D

Also, is it still Schumacher pins?

Ta

[Col]

Still no list of who's got in?
Had a quick look on the site, but didn't find anything

[super__dan]

Yes to Schumacher pins, you need to ask Lawson about Lipo, since last PC melt down I don'thave his email. If someone can PM it to me I'll ask as I need to ask him something else too.

[footey]

hi dan is it only pins allowed or is it they are the best as i like spikes:)

[jimmy]

use any tyres you like

[Andy 2]

i don't know if it says anywhere but how much is it?

[Lee]

About £8 usually:thumbsup:

"Hello Dan

No Lipo for super cup

Also last year some may remember we had some issues with power, we only have I think 3 sockets for the WHOLE HALL. We're not setup to provide power to everyone like Worksop. Therefore I think it sensible and fair to say power is first come first serve and there may be a point where we have to say enough is enough with extension leads. DO NOT ASSUME THERE IS MAINS POWER FOR ALL.

[Northy]

You can run the same set-up with AE shocks though, Losi pistons and springs will fit.

Cutting it fine with a list or emails to the people who have booked in via the entry form??

[DaveG28]

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing if I'm in!?

[Oscar]

erm, I've tried to book in, send an entry via the booking form on here... not heard a bean yet though, any news?

Ok just to update you all. Firstly I do not have internet access every day just at the moment, so please be patient waiting for replies;)

The entries recieved so far i think will take us up to the 120 capacity or very close, however I'm almost sure everyone who has entered so far will be OK.

We have had some technical issues with getting the entries to our club secretary, this should now be resolved hopefully.
Everyone will be booked into the race programme either this evening or in the morning. Once complete, an entries list can be created, and i will upload this to the Batley Club website. At the worst case scenario this will be Saturday Evening, but I will try to have this online Friday if possible.

Good luck to all entrants:D

[jimmy]

lemme know if you need any help John

[xx4-nutter]

Losi springs on AE shocks ? ... hummm, i like the AE ones better the dont look as chunky

AE ones...

Ive got Green spring, piston one, on 35 WT oil on the front

Silver spring, piston 2 ?? i think, 40 WT on the back... somthing like that anyways....

the Losi ones where...

Blue spring, not sure what piston LOL ..35 WT in the front

Red spring, again not sure what piston... 45 WT in the back

[quincey]

when it stated"doors open at 7.30 racing 8.00"
does this actualy mean we will be racing at 8.00 am?
as im coming from chester which is about 1 1/2 hrs away(aa maps) so i will be up at 5.30am:wtf:.
just need to know as ive got to collect a mate who's racing as well and he's not the best at getting up.

[jimmy]

I would imagine practicing by that time to be honest, but what do I know:drool:

It probably means practise starts at 8am.

Racing will not start until after practise and a drivers briefing.

Ade.....the brewster is picking me up at 5:45am, if you get there before us, try and grab some power for us to if you can, and we'll do the same for you. :thumbsup:

There's no point asking Lee, as he'll still be in bed by the time we get there :thumbdown:

[b4rs]

doesnt racing start around 9:30 if i remember from last time?

and also, please can i latch onto anyones pit table if theres room as im having trouble getting one? thanks v.much

thanks.

[Lee]

try and grab some power for us to if you can, and we'll do the same for you. :thumbsup:

I wouldnt advise this, its dangerous stuff, do you have electricity yet over your way

[/quote]There's no point asking Lee, as he'll still be in bed by the time we get there :thumbdown:[/quote]

That bit was just harsh, ill be in the shower by half 7:thumbsup:

[Kecky]

You should know.........Blown up any power supplies lately :woot:

[b4rs]

cant we just use extensions and splitters to at least giv half the hall eleccy?

[Cockerill]

Its alright saying that but when everyone turns up expecting to use power and the hall can't handle everyone we're all buggered.

I would advise bringing a 12v in leakproof container if you have one you can use.

[Lindsay]

Generators , with leads through top doors and then taped shut when we are all in ????

[Cockerill]

Don't see why not Lindsay, so long as the club/sports centre don't mind.

[_sleigh_]

Would they be safe left unattended? if so, I might be tempted to bring mine.

[Northy]

Not sure i'd leave mine outside with the chav's, those doors have to remain closed once we've started racing.....

[tony12795]

Has anyone got any spear BK Axles for an X6 ?

I can purchase them on the day or just borrow them for the super cup ?

[Col]

Some people seem to be getting up incredibly early considering no-one know if they'll be racing yet!

As per Johns above message, it would appear that everyone who had booked in so far (that's about one day ago) has a place in the race.

I've spoken to John tonight and he has told me he will compile a complete race entry list tomorrow morning.
I would imagine that anyone who completed the entry form prior to the middle of this week would pretty much be garunteed entry unless there is a huuuuuuge backlog of entry forms just waiting to land in Johns inbox tomorrow morning :woot:
Looking forward to this event, the supercup's always a goodun.

[Col]

That's good news, Vic

[quincey]

ive just noticed that the supercup is running to brca rules,i run ib4200 and east power cells that are not on the legal list,my ib's have got 4200 written in silver on white and the east powers have got red things instead of black on the end of the cells,would this stop me from running?

[Lee]

Quincey,

Im sure you will be fine, i cant see scrutineering being that thorough, as long as your not running lipo im sure people will be sensible:)

[DaveG28]

Are you going up then Ade? If so I'll bring up those powerpoles for you!

[quincey]

yep me and big ade are going so i will see you there!!

[Oscar]

Quincey,

Im sure you will be fine, i cant see scrutineering being that thorough,

[Mrs oOple]

Track looks challenging. It should be a good do anyway.

There were a few of the 'locals' somehow managed to evade security and enter the hall this evening, they stand out like a sore thumb so you'll probably notice if they appear tomorrow. Keep an eye out and look after your toys.

7:45 and no, pitting space is going to be incredibly tight - so please don't bring too much (12V would be nice tho!) and don't waste space :)

Had a great day yesterday , even though i qualified last in 2WD:woot: WELL DONE batley i really enjoyed it. Long day though up at 4.45am and then walked in the house at 9pm:o I HATE THE M62:thumbdown:

[Kecky]

Great day, great track, looking forward to the summer :thumbsup:

[AdrianJones]

Just a quick note to say thanks to all those hard working people who organised and ran the event this weekend. Had a great time but have now decided never to run again on slippy floors as I am not good enough yet and I want a B44 as they looked awsome!

Cheers once again guys.

PS: Any photos yet?

PPS: M62 was a nightmare but Burger King made up for it on the services, Cheers Ade for the burger :-D

[super__dan]

Thanks for the nice words, Batley is 'run' by a small number of people, most of whom have a lot of other commitments so any meetings are usually quite challenging. As usual the bulk of the thanks must go to Dianne who is a legend as far as I'm concerned but also Steve Lawson, John Price and Jimmy.

Also thanks to those who helped put the track out on Sat and those who stayed to help put it away, notably some non members who had some distance to travel!

[jimmy]

A few photos here: http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/supercup2008/

lil report to come

[xx4-nutter]

ace pictures ! hows the cam jimmy ?

[jimmy]

Lets just say I'm not a happy bunny :(

My final WAS awesome at the point I was behind superstar driver Damian Whittle and was just all over him like a mad rash - eventually punting him out of the way so I could clear off into the distance. At that point I thought I was some pretty HOT stuff - like a bit of a star myself - until I talked to Damo after the final and found out he was on front-wheel-drive only........ I was pretty gutted.

[ashleyb4]

lol jimmy nice pictures :) What happened with your camera jim?

[twisty]

Are you the Vinny who's GTB I soldered a new power cap onto?

[Lee]

Vinny a narrower track will actually give you more grip but can be unstable and break away. Just bear in mind that a wider car does not always give you more grip;)

Alex: its good to see you trying stuff and thinking, keep it up you might come accross something really good, Also is that your own wing on the b4?

[vinny20]

Are you the Vinny who's GTB I soldered a new power cap onto?



yep cheers dan thanks 4 that but then i found that i had a speed passion gt that also worked i didnt use it till the gtb burned out

[b4rs]

thanks lee, not that one, i had my first prototype on for the second race (as i didnt enter the first due to bulkhead brakages) but it shattered when i flipped my buggy. im planning on buying some thinner lexan propper 0.75 stuff so it bends and then i should be able to sell them.

alex.

Didn't stop them smashing when you hit my Lazer on Sunday :thumbsup:

Lazer 1 - B4 0

By the way, who swapped them? ;)

[b4rs]

dan: ye thats vinny, he got his car a'smokin before we even started the race.

you didnt fry 2 esc's did you vinny?

[b4rs]

haha mark, ye you did, isnt it bedtime for you now? lol




















ive got balls of steel (private joke)

[Lee]

yeah i saw it break when you landed on it thats why i asked. Thinner lexan and i dont know how you moulded them but some plastics get brittle if they get too hot;)

[b4rs]

oh, i didnt know you went to the supercup lee, you should of introduced your self mate.

[vinny20]

the speed passion iz way more reliable and i love 2 bits

[Lee]

[stegger]

How come you didn't finish the final vinny??? If your wondering i'm the scouser sat next to you:woot:

[RCbob]

If your wondering i'm the scouser sat next to you:woot:


If your sat next to him why dont you just ask him instead of wasting web space:lol::thumbsup:

[Kecky]

He was too busy picking himself up off the floor, after falling through his chair :woot:

[vinny20]

How come you didn't finish the final vinny??? If your wondering i'm the scouser sat next to you:woot:

:woot: i was doing ok but u no the carpet has high traction when i got off the car went like a rocket but wen i hit breaks the car hit the wall and broke the rear wishbone but the floor was very slipy and thats one thing i didnt like

[super__dan]

:woot: i was doing ok but u no the carpet has high traction when i got off the car went like a rocket but wen i hit breaks the car hit the wall and broke the rear wishbone but the floor was very slipy and thats one thing i didnt like

Vinny, ref your wanting to max out the rear width and the slippy floor, I kept meaning to say something but the back end of your car needs some other work. The diff and slipper need setting up and the rear oil must be VERY light (or leaked) as when you got on the power where I was marshalling the rear nearly hit the floor as it seemed so soft.

I'm not having a go, just that there is some things to work on before altering the rear track etc. Will you be racing outdoors at Batley? If so I'll help as much as I can next time I see you.

[footey]

when is the first outdoor at batley dan

[super__dan]

9th March was discussed depending on outcome of this sat's work party. Which reminds me I need to start a thread about that!

Obviuously depends on weather on the day!

[Chrislong]

I think the loss of drive was due to motor moving. Vinny was using the supplied "L" shaped allen keys to tighten stuff, thats why I brought your car to my bench mate - I got another 1/8th of a turn on your screws using proper wrenchs and thats not overtightening.

Vinny, I can;t recommend using the correct Hudy tools enough, they're an invalueable peice of equipment - and it can be the difference between finishing the race and not. :thumbsup:

cheers chris i needed help on the car rhen and since my garden is big i have giving the car a few runs and it is runing smoother than ever befour

[b4rs]

i bougth the AE hex drivers , all on ebay for £20, best thing ive bought rc wise. i had problems with my motor moving loads of times when i first started out.

yep i will be at batley just let me no were i can find u and ill let have a look at the car and u can help me set it up but i think the diff is not a problem

[b4rs]

dan or chris will sort you out vinny, batley aint short of people who can sort it for you if you ask.

luckily i got my bitch mark (MRD) lol jokin, he sorts all my rc stuff out, but i learn stuff when he fixes it, and its all in the process of learning.

[barnyard]

There wasn't oil in any of the shocks dan.

Vinny you need to consult the manual before doing anything else to figure out where those o-rings live that you had halfway up the shock bodies. If they are the ones that go in the shock tops this will be the reason you had no oil.

for a setup for the rb5 robin lucas was running one and his car looked good might be a good starting point in the kyosho section but i haven't looked.

[vinny20]

yeah its done now iv took the car out to the maximum width its running smooth now

[Oscar]

depending on outcome of this sat's work party.

???? SUNDAY !!!

[Lee]

I went yesterday but nobody was there, the track had a film of mud on the astro which made it very slippy, i think the first meeting is on the 9th march

[super__dan]

Lee,

Apparently the work party was today (though I'm sure it was announced as Sat last week) so I couldn't go as was in Sheffield. No idea how they got on. Hope someone took some pics.
