36racing Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (If you dont like anything tenth scale look away now!) Well seeing as I haven't been very active on this forum for over a year I thought I would make a thread. I decided the thread would be to show off my buggies and show you every detail from changing screws to 'laying down some laps'. Currently I have only been focusing on racing at one track; SWIRC, although I do race at alot of other venues across the UK, from Torbay to RHR. I have just finished competing in the oOple offroad open series, I managed to place 34/153. Which in my opinion isn't too bad for a 15 year old kid. I Drive for Number 5 RC, and a bit of RCS on the side. I Race a Schumacher Cougar KF which has all its details and pictures below: Low Grip Conversion, 76T Slipper Spur, V2 Upper Alloy Rear Tranny Housing. I run a Speedpassion 8.5 Revention R with reedy shorty lipo's, Savox 1257 (I think) with my trusty DX4R Pro. My second and third car are still in progress, so you will see the build in this thread. One is a Cougar KR from Schumacher and another is a Team Associated RC10 Classic Re-Release. I Plan to run a SP 8.5 in the KR and a Turnigy Trackstar 4000kv in the RC10. The KR is mainly for when it gets too wet for the KF low grip and the RC10 is for our new 'Vintage' class we are running down at SWIRC. Matching shells all round for the KF&KR and a Retro job is about to be done on my RC10. (No pictures of the KR yet)... Will update on thursday night during/after racing at SWIRC. KR and RC10 will be built soon but I will update you step by step. Go check out RCS and N5RC in my sig below! -Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

36racing Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks guys, didn't do too well myself at stotfold, only ended up finishing one of three finals and won the one i completed by a second or so. Got a quick snap of the KR shell, recieved it today, few changes with the design, trying more chrome. -Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I only finished one race as well coming second by a few seconds. Then one of my club members hit the back of my car on lap 1 and broke my car. The whole weekend was a really good laugh so the racing was a bonus really .

36racing Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yeah was great fun, qualifying was a little slow for me as the car couldnt handle the track being damp. Battery wires kept coming unsoldered for me (loose connection heating it up). Hopefully will do it again next year or do the Invernational.

Alex97 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I was racing 4wd so the damp wasn't really an issue but I'm now sticking with 2wd as I think its just better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 This track looks awesome, just a shame it's the other side of the country for me. I'm going to racing my buggy indoors for the first time at Benfield in the winter series, really looking forward to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36racing Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yeah, I prefer racing indoors. (By the way the outdoor section of the track is no longer in use) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Did the outdoor section not work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36racing Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Not really, as the carpet isnt the same as the indoor, so as the temp dropped, it turned into a ice rink for cars... I think Matt may be doing something with it though as he has ordered more carpet (blue stuff i think) so will have to ask him in a minute. Racing soon!;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36racing Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Tonight went well apart from coming Q2 to my dad, qualified for the A and took the win by 1+ laps, so now the championship has started and I'm sitting at the top!! :-D also won the final with a bent shock shaft:) Track changes: Edited August 21, 2014 by 36racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
