Congrates on a good purchase. I got my 511 body for my 501x WCE today.
I painted the undertray 'sprint car white' racers edge spray The body will be a different color white, I wonder if they make a metallic white? The body was $37.10 at my local hobby shop, nice that the undertray comes with it. Also they bagged some body clips(sweet) and some velcro tape. It didnt have the window masks thou? So I guess I can masking tape the windows because I want them clear this time.

Hey Lee,
Venue - Eastrax. Sandy bumpy Astro track. Car felt "edgy" to drive until i removed inner and outer rows of spikes from the front and rear tyres. I also had to remove every other row from the second outer on the front to stop the grip roll. Luckily Nathan Waters was there to advise in that dept I managed a second overall in round on my best run . That was the good news. Bad news is i was beaten by Nathan who had swopped to his 2WD in a 4WD heat I think he only did it to take the pi** Theres no supplement for decent thumbs i guess If i can get the hang of the jumps a bit better then im sure ill be ok. Very frustrating not being able to push in the mid section. Im going to try a little negative throttle expo next weekend too to try and smooth out the throttle when im trying to keep it under control over the jumps. I was running 19/87 on a sp 5.5R in the end. It does a feel a bit like you are crawling when cornering compared to TC ( aside from the straight of course ). Im not quick enough to catch the grip roll if i push any harder sadly. If i push that extra 5% then it always bites me before the 5 minutes is up Really enjoyed it though and aside from one driveshaft popping out, the car took some serious battering when i kept screwing up the jumps. I have moved the rear diff to the low setting to help with driveshaft plunge. Really pleased with it mate Dan took a video of the final here if you are interested. Im the idiot who screws up the jump as usual. Nathan on pole. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYyXGisd6Vo |

Hey Rich, I've recently started using -50% on the throttle, and it's a LOT easier to be smooth, and you still have the power at the top end when you need it.
And you're right, corner speeds are a lot slower, once you acknowledge that and use more brakes it gets easier too :-) I still reckon off-road is way harder than touring car! And the 511 is ace - what setup did you use? |

" I still reckon off-road is way harder than touring car! " Agree 100% with that. Certainly much harder than my local club anyway ! As for setup, i used Hupos setup from the TRF site with the folllowing changes Tamiya Blue springs front and rear Associated 30wt rear Associated 35wt front -2 camber front and rear zero toe ( by eye ) std shock seals with HL cylinders and gold shafts. Everything else the same as far as i can tell. If you can or anyone else can see anything there that might be worth changing for the track in the video then please shout ! If you want a setup for a 416x on polished wood then im your man, other than that im fu**ed ! |
