ta05 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 No offence, but all of this recent lame weather is enough to convert any hardy outdoor racer to indoor carpet racing, surely?.... LOL. No boost OR cooling fan required.... just a 60mph gust of wind FTW???? Joking aside, I have raced at Aldershot in the winter one year. 0 degrees all day, brrrrr! Oh and one corner closest to the podium covered in ice. For those of you into memes... As futurama fry would probably say in the situation.... Not sure if drift setup, or race setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpicLURcher Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Better size box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard.S Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I've just corrosion x'd everything on mine in preparation for tomorrow! Hope it's as good as people say it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard.S Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Turns out it's not as good as people say it is. P*ssed it down in the finals today - 3 laps in the car starts cogging, stopping and starting by itself so ended up retiring. Looks like I'm going to have to set a proper wet car up with a plastic tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 odd some people have good results, some dont, same goes with rclazy goo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicLURcher Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thats why i like the box, its more "guranteed" to keep stuff dry if the box is sealed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard.S Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I had a decent lead too - annoying to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard.S Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just taken Chassis out to dry it off completely - the front belt was twisted and was touching the pinion... Wonder if that was the cause of my problems - maybe corrosion x wasn't to blame.. That'll show me for running my belts too loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 was gunna say, when i did mine it ran under water for a good 30 mins. i mean totally underwater! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicLURcher Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 bonez would i be able to dip a box into corrosion x to make it waterproof the holes (obviuosly ill stop it going through the holes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll show me for running my belts too loose. and if i do remember rightly from my serpent 411, there are no belt stabilisers on the car at all are there? not even one on the top deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard.S Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Correct. They do an optional one. Might invest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 yeah certainly worth doing, especially if you are running mod motor on a loose belt although running mod the belt shouldnt be too loose anyway, just a little bit of bounce but not too taught, same with 13.5t boosted blinky you can get away with a looser belt though. some guys have 1 on the top deck then 2 or 3 on the bottom! look at some of haras chassis for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 bonez would i be able to dip a box into corrosion x to make it waterproof the holes (obviuosly ill stop it going through the holes) i wouldn't just because its a liquid state all the time so you will get it all over your hands every time you touch it. if your going to use a box just use that and silicone the holes up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicLURcher Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 silicon or plasti dip, that is the question! How easy is it to waterproof a servo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
