Probably won't make it this weekend as my Caster needs parts which aren't in stock!:thumbdown:. Good news I've been to Rclazy today and purchased a Durango 410 v3:thumbsup::thumbsup:.
I need some advice from my fellow Rango owners about the diff oils as I don't want to buy every variation of diff oil and not use them all!!.
Looking forward to the new car which should arrive in the next week or two!!

Looks dry on the one I look at, Ill be optimistic and look at TWC report :thumbsup:
Bribed my wife with a £30 bunch of flowers, for letting me play 'toy cars' last weekend, whilst she looked after our 1 year old.... may have to deploy similar tactics....

Ditto!!!! After 3 days last weekend for GP meeting and the up coming trophy meeting at SHRCCC the weekend after I've not even bother to ask to come out and play on the 27th now! Hope it all goes well, which I'm sure it will!!!!

[TARTMAN]

I must be the luckiest of you all, Mines happy when i go to play cars, or in the garage, or out in general. as long as she know where i am and sees me sometimes, shes happy, makes me happy.
Thats what happens when you marry a 9 years younger than yaself i guess. and get her a new kitchen! LOLOL........:thumbsup:

[Randall34]

I've been totally lacking in the winter series so far (and racing in general) But hope to be back with a vengence in the new year.
I was hoping to come down on the 4th Dec, and my son wants to have a go, he is only 6 and never really tried (or been interested) before. I thought he could come down with my Dad at the end of the morning meeting and have a go when the racing is finished.
Is that still OK to do??

[Chris-S]

the 2010 dex410 a lot of people are running 5000 front and 2000 rear don't know what it works like in the v3 though?

Diffs are the same in the V3.

Adam Skeldings Mansfield setup is a good start for the V3.

[simoncrabb]

We are not 100% attending at this point, depends on weather and other commitments.

[M.Andrews]

What about food????????????.

[simoncrabb]

What about food????????????.

Hahaha, you can see where Mr Andrew's priorities lie!!

[PaulUpton]

What time do we need to be there?

[Stuweatherman]

Think most people get there from 7am onwards, gazeboo's by the track and the cars get parked away a bit so easy access for people.

[jaywestwood]

track usually opens for practice bout 8 ish pupton

[simoncrabb]

Okay, I'm going, Mark's not. I'll have a trackside shop with me with tyres, spares, etc.

4wd and SC for me!

Anyone else bringing Short Course? Will we have enough for a heat?

[wylie]

It won't be a fair fight with your DESC410 and 550 size motor, me with a 8.5t 2wd Blitz but bring it on :thumbsup:

[ASKay]

[Twiglet]

[TARTMAN]

wont be able to make tomorrow, have to much to do in the house...., damn............:cry::cry::bored:

[lordnikon]

Trucks in the car packed and ready, fingers crossed front diff survives ! large motor and to much punch = :thumbdown: lol

[simoncrabb]

Awesome! TORCH crew, can we race our big dumb trucks please?

Just a comedy heat, no series points or anything!

I just want to run it and try and not break it...

Oh, I've just remembered I've not fixed the power wire, some trackside soldering to do then!

And I might fit a fan to the motor, just in case, and cos I've forgotten the mod 1 pinions, no idea if it's geared right...

[The Chef]

Just rebuilt the Vega diff and shocks:)

Ready for tomorrow.

Might have a quick re wire of the Durango the were ready.

[mikeyscott]

Simon,

Spoke to Steve about it tonight and don't see an issue if enough of you.

4WD for me tomorrow.

[dibble34]

Great day today and some close racing :thumbsup: Any chance the results will be up soon and for the last few weeks?

Disappointing day for me, but found the prob tonight.

Many thanks to those that came a long way.

Results, Monday night as I didn't take the laptop.

Next round is in January. Club will be closed on Xmas day and new years day.

[The Chef]

Will that include the championship results todate aswell.


Have to add that Wesley and myself had a brilliant days racing. Another very well run meeting, we can not wait for round 3.

Have a good christmas all and see you all in the new year.

[jpmatrix]

Another excellent days racing at Torch. I don't think I will be doing both classes again though; it seemed to be complete brain damage. Didn't really have time to work on the set up of 2wd and 4wd, just seemed to be marshalling, charging batteries and alot of running about and missed my 2wd 3rd leg b final.:thumbdown:

Late afternoon racing was challenging to say the least, the sun made it diffucult to see up on the rostrum when looking to your left especially when you got glasses on and the track conditions changing throughout the day.

To be fair James 2 classes is very demanding and preparation is key. As for the weather and Sun aspect, I was glad to see some Sun considering the time of year, I always wear a cap to help protect your vision :thumbsup:

Glad you had a good day, the weather did change dramatically overnight, so timing was good with meeting.

Thanks to all that attended.

Steve

[DragonRider]

Any update on the results and series standings after round 2.;)

[Stuweatherman]

When are the results from november being posted?? Also wondered when the winter series standings would also be posted so can see how badly we're doing!! :thumbsup:

[mikeyscott]

I will be doing it when I get hold of the laptop.!

[Stuweatherman]

Ah, thanks. Thought you may have taken it after sundays meeting.
