Hinckley Radio Control Car Club

it all looks very good indeed. unfortunately i am going to miss the first two meetings as I am in Taiwan & China but I will give the TLR22 a run at some point !

Richard, i was in the 'A' final with a slightly modified TT01E so there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the chassis and it fits in with the ethos of the class (in my opinion :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ) and has nothing to do with been beaten at all !!!!! :mrgreen: (having said all that, i have an old T...

Thanks Richard - most appreciated

Hello All,

I am thinking of making a comeback to racing having had a break of 15 months or so.

I've dug out my old Tamiya TT01E and plan to start again in the quick silver class

Please can anyone advise on suitable gear ratios for the HPI Saturn 27t motor ?

Thanks,

Nick Hudson

as an (as yet) non-racer in this class the last thing i want to do is cause any upset as i think the principle of the class is sound. the one thing i will add is that it does feel good beating more expensive, perhaps 'capable' cars with a £30 TT01E made up from odd bits and pieces i had lying around...

following a rather large break from racing after the summer buggy season (but having raced TT01E's before) i was considering having a go in this class. having read the rules they all look good except for rule 6 allowing any 1/10th TC chassis into the class. i know from experience that even my well s...

Hi Nick, Fancy offering me something soooooo tempting!!! I used to run Cats for years in my youth............ i'll bring it along on saturday if you like - it's a bit different to the original CAT short wheelbase :D :D (i used to have one of them back in 1983/4 ish !) - i sound like a right old git...

i may be tempted to part with my new CAT SX if you're interested Dale ?. i thought i may have time to run both classes this year but it hasn't worked out that way so far.

or mine....my car was probably upside down or off the track anyway

next time - tamiya frog & silver can motor until i learn how to drive....

just to confirm what dean said - 2WD & 4WD for me

i have no idea how you got so many races out of the yellow mini-pins - i did one round of the west bridgford indoor off-road series and used one set of rears up in 5 races (4 round and 1 final) - they are bald in the middle - the fronts did a little better but wouldn't do more than another 2-3 races...

i'll hopefully have a bit more time this year to do a few regionals (2WD & 4WD) especially now as lipos are legal :D i have never been a fan of foam tyres on buggys - it just doesn't seem right somehow. get a set of blue mini-pins (the yellows, as dean says, wear out pretty quick) and they'll la...

jamie - are you running a CAT SX - if so, what's your impression of them so far?. i'm tempted by one myself

Hello All,

Having run 2WD last summer at Hinckley, I am thinking of trying 4WD this year - do you reckon there will be enough 4WD's to make a decent heat ?

Nick

just a quick message to echo deans thanks to dale & crew for the great meeting last saturday. just need to figure out how to catch deans all conquering S2 !!
