Quantra Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think I forgot to say I've now tried the Blitz TSX and had a quick go with the new Mazda. New Mazda I only used for 1 run because it added a little entry steering but made the back end quite unstable. Perhaps with some chassis tuning it could work. The Blitz TSX is a real car changer. It adds a lot to entry and mid steering but the back end isn't too unstable. Well worth experimenting with this one and setting up around it a little. Very impressed! To stop the motor slipping in the T4 sand some washers to go behind the motor screws. The extra grip will stop the motor moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I will try that too, ty for the suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard.S Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I got a Bitty Design Striker the other week. Not bothered painting it yet because it was awful as soon as I cut it out. The sides sprung out about an inch each side and it looks ridiculous. Really disappointed because I had high hopes for the bitty design shells. Will get the Nardo soon and see if it restores my faith in the brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 didnt like the striker much myself, the nardo i have seen up close and looks far far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinman Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Ive painted both my nardo's up, they're pretty good, but not the same quality as any protoform body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Anyone ordered a durango yet then? Wanna see a build blog! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinman Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Is it actually going to be that good? Ive seen the manual and the pictures/specs at last and nothing really stands out apart from not needing to buy many extra parts. Nice price though, but all that hype? I'm not so sure!

ratman Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well elliots quick with it but then again he would be quick with a tl01. Its well thought out but i couldnt own a car thats that colour.lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantra Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Durango I'm already hearing mixed reports. Something to do with lack of quality to keep price down??? Not sure on the full details, not seen one yet. Loving the Nardo, really much stronger than I thought it would be since I don't normally use light weight. Handling from it is superb, just makes me smile to drive it apart from anything else! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 If you wanna cheap car get a hobao. 200quid now and that leaves 120quid for paets etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 yea hobao is very cheap n seems to be rather good as you can testify ratman the durango, meh all hype to be honest. NOW what is exciting ..is what Hara is going to make with speedmaster, weather his touring car will be SworkZ branded or otherwise time will tell but at least its a 100% fresh now car joining the fray!

ratman Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think speedmaster will do a tc.hooefully it wont just be a bd7 copy and will be something different. at present hara is with sworkz for off road and has signed another contract with yokomo to run there tc.

He is running the yokomo TC just for the ETS as it was an easy ride in, same with robert batlle hara will as you said run sworkz off road and if sworkz do a on road division then fine, if not it will be whatever other name speedmaster want to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samshirley001 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) evo chassis arrived on thu, finished saturday morning, ready to race on sunday, never good putting your car on the carpet and making sure it goes strait before getting to the grid.managed to qualify 1st in the b for 17.5 blinky on a big track, missed the A by 0.65s, but considering its 1st outing, id say thats not too bad seeing as i am beating people that i usually get thrashed by aint bad, once the diff had gotten smoother on the 2nd qualifier, i could really see its potential.a lot of people came and had a look at the car, should have charged them!

Quantra Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Nice one! Let's have some pics =] How was the build? I'm still waiting on mine, I'm being a good and patient team driver for them but it's not much good if you now want tips on it from me.... Really hoping mine gets posted this week, I got the alloy chassis and some RC bling ready to rock out an Awesom(atix) build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Rite everyone. How do you all measure ur droop! I used to measure it which the car on setuo board and slide the ride height gauge under the outer hinge pin. This was fine on the tamiya but on the haribo if i set the droop to 5.5 front 5 rear it alters my ride height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicLURcher Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I use hudy droop blocks and guage....maybe droop affects ride hight more on the haribo? If you measure same way surely its fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 It does seem to. I think il hav to have a play around and see how much i can get before ride height is affected and use that. Ur car looked immaculate yesterday btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 If your droop effects ride height then you are doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well yeah but how! Im doing it the same as i did on every car i have owned, how alot of other people do it and how alot of serup books sa to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The only thing I can think of Ratman is are your shocks assembled to the right length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Should b if the instruction are correct.lol. there are 2 different length ball cups for the bottom but if you use the longer one you end up with an off road car.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Do they have off road cars racing at the same meeting? lol I would get some digital calipers on the shocks as a preliminary thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yeah.ive got a different method of measuring it that david jun uses so.gonna try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
