belms Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 But I think Matt still wants a Vintage class Yes, definitely... I think he wants to run 2wd, vintage and micro. There are a few of us already keen on the vintage class, just some are waiting for re-re kits to arrive/get built, and others are hunting down vintage cars on ebay...

Rtsbasic Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm more interested in getting a vintage class chassis ready at the moment.. but when you start looking at these things, you want one of each!! Then I think back to my crazy 8000kv Losi Mini-T all those years ago, with its 1/10 buggy wing, and cringe What fun, in a strange, never drove with the front wheels down, kind of way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCMonkee Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 They all sound fun but only so many hours in one evening! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyV6 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) They all sound fun but only so many hours in one evening! Yep time spoils everything The intervals between each race we set at 12 mins last week for a good part of the night so that eat into a lot of the race time so everything got pushed back really late but they will be set at 5 mins for this week and i've now got a mic and some speakers in the pits so can shout at everyone to get a move on This week should run more smoothly with regards to the actual time we start the heats and rounds so we will work out where to fit the Vintage class in. Will probably run the Micro's in with the Vintage to start with but treat them as separate classes in the same class if you kind of get me lol? Just to work things out over the next few weeks. I've also been speaking to Barry (Belms) about trying to work out the running order if people are entering more than 1 class so we could put this into practice this week Bought this on here was near new, then sold it. Why did you ever sell it!! Thats just awesome!! I'm on the lookout for one of these or a mini 8. I know they arent to every ones taste but they are really good fun Its a shame you don't still have this jonny! Jonathan May has one and its so quick. I need to get one too! Yes, definitely... I think he wants to run 2wd, vintage and micro.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk In my head it sounds like a brilliant idea but in reality i will need to choose just 2 out of the 3. Its just not possible otherwise I'm very keen on the vintage. This and the fast 10th's. I just cant wait to get on the rostrum with a vintage. I can close my eyes and pretend i'm back in 1994 and a kid again I'm more interested in getting a vintage class chassis ready at the moment.. but when you start looking at these things, you want one of each!! Then I think back to my crazy 8000kv Losi Mini-T all those years ago, with its 1/10 buggy wing, and cringe What fun, in a strange, never drove with the front wheels down, kind of way My point exactly!! Its so hard to pick a class and stick to it lol!! I've tried to be as flexable as possible with the track and open up as many options for cars as possible but its now becoming so hard to choose lol. I've got to get a mini 8 or similar. Jonathan May's flying round the other week was just awesome to watch!

MattyV6 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Ok i've just bought a Losi mini 8 to get the ball rolling. All ive got to do with this is fit my receiver. Its got a few hop ups etc etc. I've also bought a KF for the 2wd buggy class but i need to sort the electrics for this. None of my 8th scale stuff fits :( I'm bidding on something vintage but i missed a perfect re re Gold Tub the other day So i will have 2 cars for next week, nothing for tonight but 1 will be fully running come next Thursday Edited August 21, 2014 by MattyV6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtsbasic Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Another great evenings racing last night, with some great 1/10 buggy racing and the start of a mixed vintage/micro class. Looking forward to next week! Every week there's been tweaks to the track/layout, and it has a really smooth flow now with plenty of challenging parts IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtsbasic Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Few little set-up changes to the car this week, shocks rebuilt, can't wait to go racing Who's going this Thursday? For anyone in Cornwall/South & West Devon, its super easy to get to, just off the A38. Just the ticket when the rain is this bad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Finally got round to soldering the esc connections on the 22 and powered it up for the first time, followed by some gentle runs in the house to fine tune the diff and slipper settings. Turns out i was way too slack on the diff and a smidge too tight on the slipper. Once i'd got that right it wheelied down the hallway lol. Will be giving it a proper run on the local astro pitch to open her up. Won't be up with you guys to give it it's first outing this week as my new car won't be reay til Friday. Instead i'm taking it to St Pirans Raceway near Falmouth this Sunday for it's first track session if any of you are heading there this weekend.

Pistonhead Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Am I missing something as I can't do it! The stars next to the values on each item only indicate the default settings for that item. It's simply a case of moving the value of each item to where you want, then moving on the the next. Really should have come with instructions though tbh.

It was almost like it had lost the binding to the Tx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost like it had lost the binding to the Tx. It was a fancy new radio set with screen etc. I don't think it was set up properly. I've spent some time setting it up and it works fine every time now Hey, sounds great! What have you got? A re-re or ebay find?

Pistonhead Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Is anyone running a gear diff in there current 2wd buggies? I've given up on the ball diff in my 22 and have gone for the 22sct rtc gear diff and was wondering what sort of weight oil people suggest using on carpet.
