mark — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:01:02 +0000

Finally made it to TORCH for their all day event. You know the idea, this is what happened. Arrived at 8ish and what a turn out, no space for parking near the track so I dumped off the racing gear and bag o’ bacon with Si. Nice to see young Dan Horton roll up for a [...]

simon — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:23:27 +0000

oOple’s server is sadly down, so they’ve wacked up the Euros report on another site, so you can still get all your oOpley goodness. So far Lee Martin topped 2wd, can he do the double in 4wd too? He’s racing a Tamiya Manta Lee out in Austria. His team-mate Marc is running a Manta [...]

simon — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:53:44 +0000

Now I’ve cleaned, repaired and tested my cars from the punishment they got at Stotfold, I thought it better time I blogged that. Friday Mark and I travelled up on Friday evening, later than usual, so it was dark when we arrived at Stotfold. I managed o find it without Sat Nav, result! We were clearly the last [...]

Atomic Carbon Cougar Moustache

Today I received a prototype Schumacher Cougar SV rear shock mount from Atomic Carbon. It puts the top of the shocks lower, for increased rear droop. But, most of all, I especially like that it makes a rather fine moustache. Written by simon.

Crazy Bob’s Cat

simon — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 16:54:05 +0000

I’ve not done much racing lately, but today I popped along to TORCH to prepare the cars for next weekend’s Stotfold National. Seeing as I’ve sold all my Tamiya 4wds I’m without a 4wd car for the National, so Crazy Bob has very kindly lent me his Cat SX. It’s half SX and half SX2, plenty of [...]

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 [...]

Eden Park Raceway: 2010 BRCA National Series

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

simon — Sat, 22 May 2010 09:27:35 +0000

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 [...]
