Hinckley Radio Control Car Club

Hi Dann, A good starting point in Quick SIlver is 5.5 FDR (Final Drive Ratio). The FDR is calculated by multiplying the transmission ratio (diff/pulley) by the ratio of spur to pinion. The equation is :study : FDR = (diff/pulley) x (spur/pinion) If you have a specific spur you want to use and need t...

Hi Dann, Shell and Ollie - no worries - there're currently two available.

See you all tomorrow...

1 x club car reserved for Justin Baker - 14/01/12.

James

Oops - sorry Darren, we must have been preparing our responses at the same time.

Hi Richard, Welcome to the forum... You'll find some background to the club in the info tab on the homepage (see link below). http://www.hinckleyrccc.co.uk/index.php?page=about We race on Saturday afternoons at John Cleveland College, Butt Lane, Hinckley, LE10 1LE (indoor season) and Hinckley Rugby ...

Cheers Richard

Hi Ryan I'd go for either the 30 or softer 27 compound - depending on how much grip you think you need with the Yokomo chassis. Most of us run 32 compound Sweeps in the Quick Silver class - in fact the TT01E chassis runs better on this harder compound tyre as it's less likely to grip roll. Cheers Ja...

D'oh - you're quite correct Richard - I've just checked my gear chart - sorry

Dann, I'd go for the 28T pinion on the 68T spur - giving the 5.46 FDR - that should be pretty much spot on.

James

Dann, if you 'juan a juin'? Then you must 'jclern about their juays' (read it as if you were Jack Black in Nacho Libre). Not wishing to contradict Captain Club Car - but the TT01E should be running 5.5 FDR with the 25/55 pinion/spur combination (I think he's feeling threatened, hence the duff info)....

Hi Michelle,

I've alerted Richard and he'll confirm shortly - your nephew will be more than welcome.

Have fun...

James

But if you need to know anything else - just ask and we'll come straight back to you.

Cheers

James

Excellent news - I look forward to seeing the plans as they unfold and helping out with the new track.

James

Hi All,

Just a quick correction - the GP will be going ahead; however we're in the process of moving the date. We'll hopefully be able to confirm the situation very soon.

Thanks

James

Hi Ryan (again)

If you need a motor - I can sort you out with one. I'll be pitting with Richard who you've been chatting to on the forum.

Cheers

James

Hi Ryan, No timing refers to the speed controller setting for brushless systems - you may be familiar with the timing setting on a modified brushed motor, which changes the angle of the brush hood on the end bell relative to the magnets in the can; the more you advance the timing, the greater the po...
