Hinckley Radio Control Car Club

Its been a while James! I dont think I will be able to sleep tomorrow... too excited! haha. We still allowed to pit round the corner? Have missed the gentleman atmosphere with the crude jokes a lot over the summer! Hi Dann, Me neither - I'll be too excited thinking about getting my hands on some di...

Hi Jordon, Welcome to the forum... I think most people run the LRP X12 with FDR around 4.5 (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong). At that gearing you'll need to run a fan on the motor to keep the temperatures down a bit. Hope that helps... Perhaps we'll see you this weekend - booking in op...

Hi Dann,

Good show - looking forward to meeting up again.

Only two more sleeps 'til racing!

Hi James/Keith, We had a Committee meeting the other week - the outdoor track was on the agenda. An action from the meeting is for Dale to discuss our longer term aspirations with the Rugby Club so that we can start making some firm plans for next year's season. As soon as we know what's happening, ...

Thanks Richard

Roger and Dale will be involved with the Nationals for the next few weeks, so Ben McQueen will be looking after the meeting this Saturday (10th) and Ian Smith has kindly offered to run race control the following week (17th).

Thanks

James

Hi Dann, Unfortunately I'm having trouble with my plumbing ( :oops: bathroom) so won't be there this week. I had hoped to have got it sorted by now, but progress had been a little slower than anticipated. :doh However I'm racing on the 17th and will gladly have a look at your Johnson then; just pop ...

Hi Craig, Following on from Richard's post - it's the same motor requirements as the previous seasons. We have a good stock of motors (Tamiya silver end Mabuchi RS540SH) available from the Club priced at £7 each - just ask at race control. If you've got a number of motors and you want to see which o...

Hi Ben,

Steve Haskin spoke to me on Saturday - he sent his form off last week for the 4WD class.

Cheers

James

Hi Mark,

That's great stuff - I'm not there tomorrow, but I'll give it a try and see how I get on.

Cheers

James

Cheers Baz,

That should help with the FDR, but I'm still after some help with the esc settings i.e. good starting points for boost, timing etc.

Cheers

James

Hi Folks, OK - I've given in and decided to try a brushless set-up. From my observation of the buggies - a 6.5 motor is too much for Hinckley, hence my decision to go with a milder motor (less is more). I've gone for a Hobbywing 120A 1S esc (similar to the Speed Passion) with boost etc. and a Speed ...

Hi Chaps, As Dean posted the other day and discussed at the last meeting - we'll be racing on the grass area we currently pit on for the remainder of the season to give the track a rest in advance of dBoots GP. This should prove to be a positive move as there'll be a fresh racing surface available f...

Great post and pics - it was a smashing meeting. Thanks to everyone for participating and helping out with track set-up and clearance - it really is appreciated.

Looking forward to next week already...

James

Hi Folks, As promised at last Staurday's meeting, I've feedback to the Committee the consensus of opinion regarding extending the season and I'm pleased to inform you that the season will be extended up to and including Saturday the 20th August 2011. Please note this is conditional to: receiving 20+...

Morning cobraken,

Could you send your entry forms to Ben Cosgrove please...his address is at the bottom of the form.

Thanks

James
