oOple Invernational Race 2010

simon — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 14:13:00 +0000

Day 0: Friday I got Kathryn up at 6-something o’clock and hit the road sometime before 8. First stop was Fleet, where we loved baps (bacon and egg ones), and had a little dance in WHSmith. Amazingly, we managed to miss the rush hour and we were on the M1 in no time. Milton Keynes Tesco Extra provided [...]

simon — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 12:22:35 +0000

Round 3 of the BRCA Off Road National Series was the closest to me, at Eden Park Raceway. Friday I set off on Friday morning, faffed around in Southampton area for a few hours, and picked up Mark in the afternoon. He was late, as he was having his hair done. Something about looking good for photos, [...]

Laugh? He Fell Off His Chair! (at TORCH)

simon — Sun, 23 May 2010 16:01:05 +0000

I was having a crisis about the Tamiya 511, so I wanted to do some TORCH astro and try and get it sorted. Oh, and I wanted to try Bob’s Cat, just in case my crazy idea of buying one happened… It was a stupendously hot day, Kat and I got too hot just on [...]

Ghea Tapered Pistons for Schumacher Big Bores

Ghea tapered pistons for the Schumacher Big Bore shocks. They result in a much smooth shock than the stock kit square piston. ( I’ve no idea why my microphone goes mental when I start talking and then calms down… ) Written by simon.

Schumacher Cougar SV Trish Bits Weight Kit

simon — Fri, 21 May 2010 13:44:32 +0000

Got my Cougar weight bits from Trish, shiny and nice. One long bar goes in front of the motor, and another smaller piece under the servo. I’ll test it with just that weighting and see how it feels, my LiPos are quite light, so may choose to add a little more if necessary. UPDATE: Tested it today and [...]

Are TC Nationals more fun than Buggy Nationals? Saturday started bright and early at 5:30 for the trip to Mendip on the west coast nr Weston-supermare and although a grey start the forcast was for a good day but rain on Sunday. On arrival it appeared that nearly everyone had got there several hours before us so [...]

Setup: Tamiya TRF511 – Lee Martin

simon — Mon, 17 May 2010 09:31:28 +0000

I somehow ended up with a bit of paper with Lee Martin’s Tamiya 511 setup at the Robin Hood Raceway (RHR) national… I tried the setup, and the car was much easier to drive. There was a lot of grip that day, and the weird hard-at-the-rear idea worked well to calm down the grip roll. I [...]

Robin Hood Raceway: 2010 BRCA National Series

simon — Fri, 07 May 2010 18:32:24 +0000

Round 2 of the BRCA 1/10th Off-Road Nationals at Robin Hood Raceway came round very quickly after Talywain, three whole weeks afterwards. I was on the reserve list, and I didn’t get the call until a couple of days before, and Crazy Bob didn’t get the call until I was half way up on Friday! Friday I took [...]
