Re: Winter 2011 Series : What Classes

Darren, I e-mailed Roger because of my own doubt about the proposed 13.5t class, his response (which I hope he won't mind me sharing) is below : Ian, My thoughts on the HRCCC club classes for touring cars going forward are: 10.5t as stands 13.5t as stands 17.5t, classified as STOCK TOURING with non ...

Winter 2011 Series : What Classes

HRCCC are keen to adopt the new BRCA Clubman classes for Touring Cars after Christmas, with this in mind I thought it would be a good idea to gauge interest in the classes to find out what people wanted to race. The choices as I see them are : 10.5 with on-the-fly timing advance/turbo (as per curren...

Re: Quick Silver - Tamiya & RTR Touring Car Thread

Since we returned indoors, I've been running 17.5 (fixed timing motor) with a 2 year old ESC (no turbo or on-the-fly-timing-advance). My lap times are anything up to a second a lap slower than a good 13.5 racer with an all-the-bells-and-whistles ESC (on the fast circuit we've run for the last 2 week...

New Indoor Circuits

All, I have updated the Track Diagrams section to include the new circuit designs that we have been using for the last 3 weeks. It is the intention to use the same circuit for a couple of weeks on the trot, and ultimately to capture each driver's Personal Bests for each circuit. The new diagrams can...

Re: HPI Springs for TC

Dale, Do you know what poundage those springs are? I have TC springs from both Associated and Schumacher, of various poundages (I still work in lb ft, not g metre), she's more than welcome to borrow any of those - I have my Mi4LP fitted with Schumacher Blue (16lb) and White (14lb) and don't intend c...

Re: Final Drive Ratios

Michael, I have generally been running a FDR of 5.95 with my Nosram Evo ISTC, and Nosram Storm motor (us old boys in the corner all run about the same with similar kit, although I don't have my punch setting as high as the others). However towards the end of last weeks meeting I tried an FDR of 6.26...

Re: 2010 MARDAVE RULES AT HRCCC

All, I think that allowing Brushless motors coupled with a 1s LiPo is definately the way forward in the Mardave class, so long as the performance is limited / monitored so that it closely matches the existing 4-cell NiMh powered G1/G2 motors. I know Gary trialled a Nosram Dragon 13.5T motor with 1s ...

Autumn Championship 14-11-09 Rd 8

Ben,

It looks like there may be a problem with the championship after Rd 8. Robert Bush hasn't got a score attributed to him. He certainly raced and finished somewhere ahead of me.

Re: After a bit more speed (Motor timing etc)

Rich, I spoke to Craig on Saturday, seems he's running some Trinity motor that I've never heard of that he had off a team driver. I don't know what rollout he's got on it. Over the course of the day I steadily upped the punch profile on my Nosram Evo ISTC speedo to it's punchiest (program 8), and al...

Re: After a bit more speed (Motor timing etc)

Rich, It might be an idea to see what roll out Gibbo is running. Currently I'm running 5.95, and I don't think I'm anything like as quick as you two, but having said that, speed down the straight will depend a fair bit on the corner speed you can carry out of the last corner, and obviously any punch...

Body Shell Designs

Just thought I'd start a new subject to allow folk to show off their Tourer Bodies.
Here's mine ready for the new Autumn series before I crash it :lol:

Buggy Meeting 16th May 2009

Guys, If you arrive before I do on Saturday (which I'm sure you will), can you leave the bridge up by the container so that I can paint the lettering on it. Hopefully the masking will have survived the packing away this week :wink: I should be there about 11AM, and the spray paint I intend to use is...

Re: mardave motorbike sidecar

I think that the bikes at Bedworth were the 1/8th Venom GPV-1's.
