[Maddy]

[Howler]

Now you just have to win the 2wd A final to improve Dave ;)

It was a cracking day's racing. Wonder why we had such a small turnout considering the weather though?

[Maddy]

1st is next on my books,(i wish) :lol: cant understand it m8,get a better turn out when it rains?? just hope next week will be a better turn out.

[coleman758]

I was away for the weekend, Sounds like i missed a great day!

[Maddy]

[captainlip]

Cracking day yeah :lol: shagged my durango showing off!

[captainlip]

I wanted it to win shame it couldnt get up the table top :D

[Cr3Ad]

it was a good day in all i may have broke not 1 but 2 shock towers but gained a PT so not all bad ill be back fighting fit next sunday

[captainlip]

ive destroyed my pt :lol: was experimenting and opened the case....now i have a carbon effect case on the way....dont open pts :lol:

[Si Coe]

My pt never had a case to start with!

[captainlip]

i took if off to try and pack it behind the servo at the front of the durango but soon found out it still wouldnt fit :lol:

nice carbon replacement on the way though

[Maddy]

have you ordered a bucket full of them mate :lol: ,5.5t motor in your vintage losi is going to take its toll on it all.
still to beat me yet mate,you cant keep making excuses :lol: just kiddin,
steves got his 4x4 runnin now,like to see it on sunday blastin round.

[Si Coe]

I think we need to check truck type and assign to the correct heat - can't be having all these 4wd trucks in with the 2wd buggys.

Besides guys just wait - Johnny says he's repaired his Hyper 10SC and I tell you that thing is mental. When he realises there are 4wd SCT's to compete with you guys are in for a world of hurt.....

Nah - first few meetings on the new track I was running a 5.5t in my somewhat older RC10T.

[Cr3Ad]

the losi should handle the raw POWER better than the b3 but gonna go easy rather than take risks get use to it first plus the b3 will be back up and running first the losi is my next stage car plus its still all clean and new i dont want to break it yet lol

i was gutted for chris after he broke the 2nd one,dont like seeing any car out of a race,the more on the track makes for better racing,nice to see his dad back in the action after a long time out,
is the RC10 a stronger car than the Losi? ive only ran an owned a B4.1 since coming from 1/5 touring cars racing at mendip,very nice on road track.

has your dad started building his new car yet,
will you be up and running ready for sunday mate :thumbsup:

[johnnygibbon]

4wd sct parts are ordered . hopefully here in time for oople
definatly gonna be running in time for the next meeting
be worried boys its an animal .
and im locking the diffs for ultimate drift power
been missing the carnage of trucks glad we got some truck lovers again

[Howler]

If this SCTE doesnt handle great i'm gonna be all over the place... its insanely fast. At least it shouldnt parachute as much as the XXX-SCT coz its about twice the weight.

Chris, you know you need to turn that into a XXX-SCT-Kinwald ;)

[tisher]

I have just got myself a t4 and vaughns got the ultima sc so hopfully mine will be here for the weekend for more truck carnage;)

[minke]

My blitz needs a full rebuild, cant get it done in time for this weekend. Debating wether to try my new electrics in the bmax or not.

[Howler]

Its starting to sound like we'll have a truck destruction derby going on...

[tisher]

i don't like the SC trucks, but i may get hold of a stadium job if everyone else is! il just put truck wheels on the rango!

[captainlip]

[budfish]

sc trucks are great fun mate vaughn was flying at bury the other week with his plus less breakages

[coleman758]

I must admit they do look rock solid!

[captainlip]

alot more bashing out the way if your to slow :lol:

might add the durango sc to the list at somepoint :lol:

[Howler]

wow, last time i went, we struggled to get 6 racing!

Its so much less hassle now with 2.4ghz, brushless and lipos, a lot of people are coming back to racing.

[Howler]

sc is just pure bash each other out the way fun!

Yeah, the "rubbing" adds a whole extra dimension to racing, all without the wheels getting tangled up or things breaking. Last week was my first time out with the SC, but i'll be sticking with them.

[Si Coe]

Trucks just drive 'differently'. Bumps are easy, jumps too but tighter corners more tricky especially with the longer SCT's.
Truth be told if Tishers running a T4 trucks is pretty much wound up already - it will be tough to beat that. Stadiums are slightly shorter, have fatter wheels and bodies that don't parachute meaning they are a little quicker than SCT's on our track. In effect a T4 is an SC10 optimised for a tight, grippy track!

That SC10 4x4 needs a sensor wire. The motor has a sensor port so I take it its the esc that doesn't. Would solve all the cogging issues.

I need to track down another XX4 to build a new SODA truck don't I? That thing was awesome: basically a 4x4 stadium truck.

not sure if really stronger as the car but the gear box diff and slipper are better in the losi xxx than the b3 better suited for brushless and a sc losi would be an ace conversion for it mmm would have to look into parts been messing around body building tonight (not what you think) with homemade vacuum form what you think bit basic plug only quick design to test the materials out

Its hideous!

The B3 gearbox is basically the same as the B4's. Only major change is the slipper clutch, which can be fitted to your B3. My 2 old RC10's use the same gearbox and slipper as your B3 and work fine though.

[Si Coe]

hmm double post...

Chris, reckon you could make an overtray for my SCTE? Just to keep the wheels from throwing water all over the electronics when its wet?

[Cr3Ad]

I could give it a go, no harm in trying ill take measurements Sunday to get a snug fit

[Maddy]

Cheers mate ill look forward to that,dont get to upset if i beat you :D:D

[Howler]

Nah, it wont take all four humps in one go :p

[Si Coe]

You just aren't hitting them fast enough!

[Howler]

It's win win, if h beats me with my own truck it's because i'm such a good mechanic :lol:

[captainlip]

Nah, it wont take all four humps in one go :p

You need to hit them pretty fast, I managed to hit all 4 perfectly 3 times one time passing someone doing doubles! It's risky though as I found out after and totally over shot the landing!

See you sunday! I dont think it will be too busy because the oOple race is on this weekend,.

[Si Coe]

Only a couple of Bury people going to the Oople race, so shouldn't be that different to normal.

[captainlip]

Tbh last week we we about 5 regulars down! So this week should be better than last!

Unfortunately you haven't made "regular" status yet Matt :D

[tisher]

There will be four of us down on sunday. hopfully the transponders will work this time they were not that clever in the rain last time we raced

[coleman758]

No Dave. Phil is most definitely a regular.


A regular what however is not something we should discuss on a public forum.......

[The Bod]

Is Lippy round your house and undressing then?

PMSL at the thought of a bear with a tent :o

[coleman758]

Stop mentally abusing my tent! just wait till its raining! it will prove useful!

[Si Coe]

You do know we have a huge tent for the entire club to pit in, but nobody wants to go to the trouble of actually assembling it.

Its hard enough to get people to help with the track nevermind a tent:lol:
what you need is a Fire Truck;):p

[coleman758]

I do, But like you say its never up. So its not going to keep me dry!

I'm hoping now i have made the effort to get a tent, it will not rain on sundays agin! sods law!
