couple of bits of info needed
1 when you screwed the LSN 3 turns in did you have the throttle fully open?
2 is the LSN still at factory settings or have you adjusted it for the old 16% fuel.

i thought it was pretty poor aswell. they had absouloutly no respect for the time and effort and money that has gone into those cars.
pretty poor
It was a TV show thats all, it was never going to be documentary about radio control with exact facts and figures lol.
To be honest i thought all things considered they did a fair job, they could have made us all look a lot worse.

That's what i like to hear lol makes them easier to beat glad to see yours got allot of footage there chris ready to lean it out and go quicker
if they had kept to the origional plan they would have had two records but 15m that was a bit daft
and yes the twin will go a hell of a lot faster next time out
they missed out LOADSbut hey thats TV
an they had 1 day to learn to jump,an had us all there teaching them,it was the first time EVER suzi had driven an RC car
but well done chris,an we will be smashing the records SOON

Quite a few of you know me and know i like speed racing r/c, well myself Nic Nase and a few other guys have setup a new website dedicated to r/c speed. There is a database where you can enter your cars your speeds,specs etc etc.
link here
So what is the ISC?
"The International Radio Controlled Speed Challenge (ISC) is an organization of people dedicated to the world wide promotion & growth of speed run racing radio controlled (R/C) cars. We believe that the foundation of the sport is based in the grass roots non-racing public - amateurs, hobbyists and bashers - as well as the seasoned professional. It is the intention of the ISC website to become a knowledge base for everything related to speed runs for r/c cars, to be the central source for records, both official and unofficial, and to be used as the industry standard in certifying true vehicle speeds as claimed by manufacturers."
The site has only gone live today so we need everyone and anyone's input suggestions and cars putting into the database.
