    Is anybody into iracing? http://www.iracing.com/ I think I'll give it a try Cheers
  4. Are the percentages of the components a function of the final volume or of the methanol? 25% could mean 1,000 ml of Methanol and then add 250ml of Nitro Methane and 120ml of oil making a total of 1,370ml in total. Or it could be by weight? Or it could be subtraction.... Lots of ways to fudge the figures so manufacturers of fuel can still call it 25% and use the cheapest option. Cheers
  5. Mix your own. Buy a barrel of methanol and some caster oil and bingo! 100% nitro methane is also available to purchase so you can boost the blend if you want.
  6. First things first. Set the failsafe so the throttle goes to idle and the brake is applied when the radio goes out of range. Cheers
  7. Here is the UK site http://www.technobotsonline.com/battleswitch-rc-relay-10a.html
  8. You need a battle switch http://rcehobby.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=1427&osCsid=ec2cba8b64b100e8d6acc9c6b132e0b4 I use this and another one I found on ebay to ignite my rocket Cheers
  9. The GPS on your phone isnt very accurate. If you need accurate speed from your phone you need one of these http://www.comtechwebsolutions.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_144&products_id=764&osCsid=805af803f9517cf97d785863fa1ddc93 Cheers

  15. In all the years I have been traveling one thing I have learned is that that the acquisition of knowledge does nothing to improve a person

      I don't pay any attention to the news its full of rubbish and scaremongering. At the end of the day its only one persons view being forced on the masses.

      Hmmm.. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the news when trying to make a point about educated idiots. I'll try again.

      A common mistake is to judge a persons intelligence by how much knowledge he has acquired. A bit like somebody having loads of spanners and calling themselves mechanics when they dont know what to use the spanners for. Ok so now you lot are going to tell me about how your cars got screwed up at your local garage? THATS NOT THE POINT!! LOL

      You only need to look at a sponge - can absorb a lot, but not really intelligent life!

  16. Me and Bez will be running again in November/December (depending on the weather) so watch this space. Nic case will be running again on 25th October and is confident on 200mph. That means I'll have to aim for 250....LOL Cheers

  19. Hi Next year we have introduced a new class for the UK RC Speed Championships. This will be Rallygame and 1/8 On Road cars powered by 8 cells. Cars will have on road bodies and must cover the wheels I havent posted the complete class definitions yet but check the ROSSA website soon and they will be up. The new class will be very competitive so if you are thinking of coming along there will be plenty of competition. Cheers
  20. Airspeed is not really of any use for a car. I need the speed relative to the ground. We use double speed traps to ensure accuracy Cheers
  21. Ran the car yesterday. 172.38mph and 168.32mph.
