Just to follow on from Steve, The jumps where adjusted by Kev after a disscussion of making it work better and safer. The second jump basically has been sawn in half and a small top deck put in. This giving more room for error. If you dont jump far enough you can land it flat and drive off. so the distance has not changed too much, just the gap between first and second up ramp not down ramp. I took both 4wd and 2wd out and very pleased with how both cars deal with jumps. It still has the judgement needed in approach speed, but you have a better chance a landing either on down ramp or top without hitting up ramp on second jump nose on. Like all features its a trial and error job, trying to get a balance of challenging for drivers and keeping in mind the more novice drivers and top of the pile safety for marshalls.

Does that mean I won't need that hard hat for next time byrne's goes large and clears my 6ft 4 height!! lol

[dibble34]

Hoping to make it. Want to race 4wd, but should really practice for 2wd regional. Decisions desicsions!

Some boat... specially as I've only done maybe 20 laps with the 22! Just loving the ZX5too much at the moment...

[racingben]

I'm in Chichester over Easter so can come and play!

2wd with the 210 and 4wd with losi mini 8 please - and no moaning about being beaten by a little car this time :-)

[Briangb]

Yes! Go for it Ben. That was great fun to watch last time you were there.
Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to make it. Can't do next week either. Looks like the Regional will be a baptism of fire for me. Do I go with an untested car or stick with the 210. Currently have a 6.5t in the 210 and I think that may be overkill. Looks like a bit more soldering of motors will need to be done. They say the best form of testing is racing, so here is my No.1 excuse for the 2wd Regionals; ' I was only testing'.
If I get a chance I will pop up on Sunday. ???

[RobW]

keeping in mind the more novice drivers

Thanks Dan - never really got to grips with them as they were.:blush:

Got a family thing on in the afternoon but may see if I can get down for the morning.

Rob

[mikeyscott]

Brian and all - track will be closed on the 15th April anyway as per BRCA guidlines etc.

So this is the last meeting before the 2WD regional that is taking place on the 22nd April - www.dmsresults.co.uk

[SteveB]

Thanks.

James

I have got my brother checking with the food man van to come down for a few hours but it's Easter Sunday and all the shops where he would normally pitch are closed due to Sunday trading laws, my assumption it unlikely so can everyone come prepared with food and drink for the day, we have a little chocolate to hand out lol

Freddy is away currently and had a friend covering the pitch, he is not as flexible as freddy usually is tbh, but I'd confirmed for regional :thumbsup:

Thanks

[mikeyscott]

Just like to remind everyone that the track is CLOSED next Sunday for regional prep etc.

[hazeandfizz]

Team Torch, thank you for another great days racing. What a great club you run.

Steve thanks for making Rhiannon and Charlie so very happy with their hoard of chocolate!

Good work on moving the jumps, it's now a great flowing part of the track.

So looking forward to your first regional at the end of the month.

James.

The track is good just gotta find that 12 lapper now!!!!!
Bring on the regional. Thanks to all that run the meeting and lordikon for the loan of the saddles.

[TARTMAN]

Well done Torch guys, tracks great, got my 12 laps with the sx3, only one breakage and a great day as always.

Love the double before the TT, Looking forward to the regional, just need to build the sv2 this week..... so i can race it on the 22nd..... better hurrey up eh!!!

See you all in a couple weeks..............:thumbsup:

[lordnikon]

Awesome relaxed day with some close racing and excellent banter. Top bunch of guys and a well run club meeting. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Matt Butcher]

A great day! Plus loving the new jump layout! Alot easier on the marshalls too :)

[Collegeboy]

Great days racing and as last time, excellently organised and brilliant atmosphere. Loving the track and really enjoying my car. The re-modified double was a lot better to judge and take (for everone else bar me :blush:) and it was only in the last leg of the final, that I actually managed to jump and land the table top:). Some serious weight maybe needed at the front end for next time.

Thanks again to all the TORCH team, looking forward to the next meeting. So going to nail the doubles :thumbsup:

[Deano577]

How did you get on with the 410v3 Mark?

[M.Andrews]

How did you get on with the 410v3 Mark?
The car was very good until it broke,one race the centre rear cvd boss and pin fell out(lucky not to catch on the lipo!),then I landed badly on the rear and ripped the rear gear box casing through the holder and the next race the servo saver broke!. Other than that very pleased with the car!!.
Need to get upgraded alloy servo saver,gear box holder and servo horn.
