Hinckley Radio Control Car Club

What makes you sure that it's the speed of your car costing you 2-3 tenths? Your car always looks rapid to us, so maybe you need to think about your racing lines? I dumbed my speedo down for the last final on Saturday, yet i equalled my best lap time. So speed is not the be all and end all, though d...

End of the day it's a club meeting and not the world championships No need for srutineering.

Well someone could check the car of that Kyle Branson kid, he's way to fast

Hi Michael, When building XRAY's the manual will guide you through how set your car up with a basic carpet set. I've run numerous XRAY's and the basic setups are very good, should be competitive out the box. Then will just be a few tweaks here and there to suit your driving style/track :D Seems a bi...

Think the spares are coming, though a peice at a time by carrier pigeon

Shocking really that parts are in sort supply. I'm in a similar boat, new car but cant get hold of critical spares. Oh well best not hit anything!

Martyn

Touring car class wise... i guess quicksilver and 13.5t, and any 17.5/zero timing speedo's to run with the quicksilver guys?

Maybe Rodger will confirm before Saturday.

Martyn

Hi All, After Saturdays turn out :shock: i guess you can strike 10.5t off the list! I'm happy to drop back down to 13.5 with or with out timing advance for season part two. Think the most important thing for the club, is we take some of the speed away, and bring back closer competitive racing. Which...

Hi Chris,

What motor are you running and we should be able to help.

Not sure about a setup for 12th, but have a look at the link (towards the bottom) and that may point you in the right direction http://www.carsrcracing.co.uk/?p=244

Hi All, As Dean mentioned, a big thanks to Eric, Matt and Ben for running this weeks meeting, with out them we would of not had a meeting at all. Track was built and packed away in good time, still could do with a few more hands helping carting it around! Great days racing, shame the track dint quit...

See JB's still trying to figure how to make his car faster

Looked like a good day.

No motor limits, just depends on your ability

Top racers in 2wd generally use a 6.5.

Martyn

and surprisingly his car wasn't tweaked after that (i think!).

makes it even more impressive

Hi James,

I was running the GM on Saturday just gone with a Nosram Spec speedo, very smooth and speed seems to be on par with the Novaks. Plus is only £65

Their are new 10.5's from Novak & Speed Passion, but not heard any reports on these yet.

Hi Rich, I was using the Orion Advantage until recently and have switched to the Orion Race Advantage, similar to the Clubman. I've noticed no difference in the performance of my Lipo's. The Orion Advantage is quite old now, and back in the day was a high end charger. But every thing has moved on so...

Just to let you know that there will be no racing on the 16th & 23rd September.

Resumes on Wednesday 30th September.

Hi All, Cant wait till Saturday to race? Want somewhere to test those new setups, or just want some much needed practice :D Well just to let you know Leicester Model RC Car Club still race on a Wednesday evening. They have a great venue, moderate size track (10m x 20m ish!) with a professional looki...
