It's really not that difficult to step over a gate.
-
The car park has a gate so there are no cars in it....
...it is smooth...
Smooth and no cars = good for drifting!
-
Went to check it out last night at about 9 pm. Had a walk up the stand where people control there cars from....v.high! I hate heights! Looks awesom...race meeting tomorrow so going down to watch.
It just so happens there is a car park next door which I used to play hockey at...it's large...and VERY VERY smooth...plus it has a gate so there are no cars YEAH! Should be good for drifting!
-
Yeah I read they had Scottish GP's there and that's why they did some track upgrades lately. Going out tonight to check it oot.
-
I'm uber tempted by the Yokomo ones....REALLY tempted!
-
Stonehaven just south of Aberdeen. 1.10th scale cars...says mainly electric. I am sure I heard in years gone by they didn't allow nitro. I asked on their forums. Looks good for racing/drifiting to me! I really don't want to have to get an electric car though!
-
Is this the car their stage-D conversion is for? I might be interested...dependant on price ofcourse.
-
Looks really good...currently trying to find out about their club membership.
Track being constructed...what looks like a long time ago.
As it stands now with some new curbing
-
Shame I couldn't cut it in time for the current competition...I think something as strange as this could have one.
I have the wheels....shell is getting painted when I get the Tamiya paint from MSUK.
Toying with the idea of a new engine as well at the moment....
-
Got it all back together. Might get some pics up of that. I have the Porsche Taisan shell ready for painting. Going to chop 37mm out of the Kyosho chassi so I can use the porsche shell.
Going to buy some of the hop ups if I can still get them...then lastly a new engine. Any recomendations on a powerfull engine which will fit nicely would be cool!
-
Cheers dude...I'll wait for some conformation from people and go ahead and order some stuff!
-
Which grade of fuel and glow plug should I be looking to use with the GS11R? It is a .10 class engine on a 1/10th scale touring car. Any advice most welcome!
-
It won't be double the speed unless you change the gear ratios. The more torque & hp ...so the longer the gear ratio you can use and there for the more speed.
I would hardly call an extra engine + some more fuel and another exhaust pipe stupidly heavy. With the selection of some choice parts else where weight could be kept to a minimum.
-
Yup nitro engine has no valves...and as such the ways the exhaust/inlet ports are constructed means using forced induction isn't possible.
-
On road....I might go up to 1/8th just for the room. Not overly worried about using a shell at the end of the day.... It's more a project just to see if I can do it.
I think in the search for speed two motors and a 2 or 3 speed transmission should be interesting.
I'll need to use as much stock components as I can to cut down on having to get stuff fabricated.
So which .18's ? Who makes good motors?
I'm sure I read somewhere people dyno r/c motors? Anyone done/do this?
-
Looking to do a long term project involving some twin engined fun. Could people point me in the direction of some powerfull engines for 1/10th scale cars? I'm not really up to speed on who makes the best engines/prices/power etc etc.
-
Probably one of those 1/5th scale FG Modelsport F1 cars with the full hop ups....maybe some custom engine work. Really like those big scale cars!
-
Wait till you see the pics I will post tomorrow of the inside of my engine....5 or 6 years with no after run oil left sitting....and it looks factory fresh!
-
When it loses its compression its time for a new P&L.
Piston & Liner....
...you know just incase someone doesn't know what a P&L is.
-
I really like these big scale cars. Would love one of the F1 cars or touring cars from FG Modelsport.
-
On the Club Polo forum someone was trying to get together people to do a group buy. The shell was going to be made up by some guy <can't remember who> and it was going to be a Polo G40.
For those who don't know that's a 1.3 8v Supercharged car from the early 90's...only problem was the idea seemed to fall by the way side which is a shame. Really wanted one.
-
Keeping a nitro indoors seems to be the best solution for preventing rust etc. Currently my car is spread over my desk in my bed room going over a full rebuild. I think I'll keep it in the cupboard for storeage.

Grease

I just re-greased the diffs on my Kyosho. Just used what was left from the original tube. How much do people put in...fine covering or whack in a nice dollop?
-
What a cool idea!
I wouldn't be suprised if you saw Cars being made into kids toys. It's such a good film. Make sure you post up the finished product!

I would have had anything for a GP Spider MkII but the auction isn't really organised in a way for me to get any individual parts and I really can't be bothered going through each item to see if there is anything I need.
