mototomo Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 i think the best way to find out would be to just try it, we run ansmann virus 2`s on it. i`d say both scales should be fine. and if needs to- we could accomodate it. i think it is about six feet wide in narrowest places and double that in widest. the whole field on the whole is good enough to make a dream track for any scale. the websites are under co0nstruction still, but should be all done by the weekend.

mototomo Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 what`s wrong with em, what are they? i might be able to help m8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randum Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Sorry mate. Dont mean to ignore you. Trophy truggy flux needs steering knuckle and bolts, hyper needs steering servo and new chassis anti bend bolt. M5 bike needs fixings for back wheel. Also bought the bits for trophy hex conversion. Most of it is in chipping sodbury and one thing in fishponds sorting office. I cant and wont be driving yet as over did it on stag do. But can guarantee when feeling better will be coming along to use your track. My mrs had agreed to take me to my work to get some of the bits i ordered last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randum Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yes it is matt. Tewks i have had the hardened steel (hpi) diff gears for a while now and have recently put the alloy diff cases in from here :- http://www.innovative-rc.com/lightning-stadium-diff-case-black-p-210.html?osCsid=bea752a60270d2ac4ec1e6ad8ca55fa3¤cy=EUR As the centre diff gets real hot on 6s and twists the spider shaft inside. The things we do for more power eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rp16v Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 just had a nose around the website and it looks to have a good base to work with i was thinking of trying something like this on the old airport in whitchurch but far to much risk of being turfed up by pit bikes ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mototomo Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 i am open to suggestions as for the layout and shape. in the end i`d love to see the track to be excting, with diffrent combinations of twists and turns ,more skilled sections, speed sections, technical bits etc. end of the day it needs to make u do this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rp16v Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 have a look on yatton rc and worm racing sites at shapes/jumps ect might be worth packing some doubles that are rollable for beguiners a couple of tabletops again need to be rollable small speed jumps,to try diffrent layouts use spray paint on the dirt and when uv found something that works well use old pvc piping(water outlets u can scroung from building/demolition sites) i cant run untill my charger comes next wek but il try and pop over on the way home forom work for a look and a natter i love building things with dirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mototomo Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 the best way for me would be to have a look together and consider all possibilities, and there are a few. i have worked on the track over this long weekend and it looks better. now is the time to start thinking of placing jumps and other features, and see if it all makes sense together. i have never raced anywhere apart from my track, so i don`t know anything about principles of track design or layout. the othere thing is the track width, i am in two or three minds about it now and connot make my mind up. ideally would like it to be able to cater for 1/10 and 1/8 scales. i need a few cars on the track at one time to see how would we cope with overtaking.

Randum Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'll bring my trophy truggy down and get mate to bring his 5sc. Once my cars are eventually fixed we should have a meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
