I thought the f1 looked pretty good on the tighter track last week. Have tham make an oval mate then you can call it an Indy car . Plus 1 on the tape quality stuff.

That's actually a BRILLIANT idea

Banking, spools, staggered tyres and everything. I'd love to do it.

Banked oval? Hell yes

You could even put buggy tyres on one side only so the car naturally goes in circles - would love to see it going down the straight though

Sham-car would have no problem since the torque-steer makes it want to go right all the time. Knowing my luck though, Dave will make us run anti-clockwise

Not moaning, just requesting and hoping someone's listening. I think we should all be able to share thoughts & give feedback within the club shouldn't we?

By the way - the new tape is much better!
Well we could go back to the original designs I suppose. Some of those are quite flowing. I reckon Mr Ken has a corner fetish

Oh and GT12 for me please Dave!

corner fetish

just wanted to make use of all the carpet, the older designs are in the same bag.

i liked the space down the side of the main str8 near the wall, made it a little safer for marshals
....


Oh and GT12 for me please Dave! your in m8

get the cheap £50 core speedo rob,it does lack the grunt out the corners that the top spec ones have and does sometimes have a mind of its own

My core esc has been faultless, tbh there are quite a few used at our club just depends who's driving and defo a high c rated battery to get the most out of them. Has any got a high c rated saddle I could try, I currently use 30c.
