Racing Sunday 9th January 2011

mikeyscott · #1 04-01-2011

Normal meeting this Sunday and I'll have a go at the new track - HELP...

I'll also be on hand to work through any teething issues with the laptop.

First time out with the Durango, so if it all goes wrong I'll just run the meeting. Tamiya 511 will get it's first run at Petit (plus it's not finished!) and Cougar SV has been cleaned ready for Petit...

Looking forward to it.

I'll pop down, but not to race, will hand over my club m/ship form. Plus, you still owe me some Torch Stickers Mikey

I need those stickers

I'll be there on Sunday

. Just finished rebuilding the front left side of the car after smashing it up last weekend(not caused by the new track or markings but my bad driving!!).

Well, I got my imax B6 balance charger through the post today so I can charge on site.

Looking forward to race for the first time, the only worry is I have only got 1 battery pack 3300mah Nimh. Just hope the charging between heats will be enough to last the day?

Looking forward for some of the same action! 4 quali rounds and 3 finals.
Shame you can't join us Crazy.

I'll be there, and having realised I had my speedo throttle limit set to 60% last week I'm hoping to be going a bit quicker this weekend!

Indeed, but like I said, will be down and will find time for a bit of chat/banter (delete as appropriate)

Clarkie, I blame you, I've had to endure the Bloody Gaslight Anthem albums on repeat now for over a month.

mikeyscott · #11 08-01-2011

Tony, how was the Durango last weekend. Yet to get mine dirty and got Petit next weekend...

No sympathy here Lionel, just goes to show that Lei has excellent taste if you ask me

wylie · #13 08-01-2011

Durango was OK broke the servo saver again so ordered the Tresery option part,(not arrived yet) Steve looked very quick with his but he could drive any old s__t around and spank everyone there.
I like the Durango even though it's broke the same part twice, just made a few minor setup changes as Lionel was to close for my likeing

Bring on the banter Crazy.

dibble34 · #14 08-01-2011

Wylie was B Final champ last week, putting me and Crazy to shame. Have to see how it goes this week, but if you are quick again you may want to keep an eye out for loose wheels

I thought you liked me getting too close to you, Dave O'Brian told me, so must be true, plus the fact you couldn't get away from me, ah the mind does wonder

You love the banter son

Ah ok, cheers. One for me to think about then

Yeah got one on my Rango.. ran it today with 0 issues.. and had 1 or 2 large clipping the pipe moments. It's not very cheap, but saves time and £ and anger
in the long run!

Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone for today's racing. Was my 1st time back to Torch for a while and with a new car (Durango)=Love the thing.. 2nd in the A first time out.. think may get on with it well

The new track/layout is very nice! and with a few very demanding sections.. which is always nice. Hopefully with the addition of another roller/ jump or 2 maybe even a ripple section? to break it up a tad. And can be removed if needed.. couple of small poles under the astro?.. anyway! a BIG THANKS to all the guys, you have done a great job down there and should be very proud. Look forward to being down very soon!

Yeah my first time out with the 410R too and have to say I really like it. Think I'll be running it at Petit instead of the Tamiya 511. Just a bit warey of the servo issue going indoors etc. Maybe I can get both of them ready!

Got a tough Savox 1258 in there

Trying to update the results, but getting ftp errors on certain files

(command line time...)

Didn't have enough rear traction on the Rango and need to sort out the gearing on my SP 7.5 with Tekin RS Pro. Half tempted to change it for a Speed Passion
