Yngwie Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Just letting you know that the cars have arrived at their destination for round 4. I will be running a prologue later in the week and then the round early to mid next week! (will include some video and photos) Regards John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yngwie Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Results of Practice for round 4 This in no way indicates consistency of laps, rather the best lap. This is the downhill stage. The uphill stage catches many cars out so will be interesting to see how they fare in the end!

miveson Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 9th - let's hope I can carry through the rounds. What day are you running the rounds John? Quote Slot Car Photos V8 Tipping Competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eno the Wonderdog Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Interesting that a setup built for a much smaller car and glued up by a stepson with NO experience isn't too crap. Ok it isn't GOOD but it isn't crap. Difficult trying to figure out how to build a car for a rally track without one.. Can anyone point me to a good design for a reasonable sized test track? Something to dump under a bed would be good. I'm gonna win next year!

Ember Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Only if it fits within the rules Eno. Always interesting to see the difference between a quick shakedown and the longer run of the stage. Interesting to see less than a second between first and last on a 'hot lap' basis. Quote Computers.

Ontheflipside Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) Results of Practice for round 4 This in no way indicates consistency of laps, rather the best lap. This is the downhill stage. The uphill stage catches many cars out so will be interesting to see how they fare in the end! Some good lap times John. Anything 7 or below will be hard to beat "if" they can stay on the track. Be interesting if there will be any 6's on the up hill direction. woohoo....5th, looking forward to the round results.proves that you don't need a powerful motor on a proper tight & twisty rally track It used to favor the NC-1's Kai but dialing in the Slot-it to suit each car (which I think John does) almost anything goes as long as all other set ups are good. The Dipper and "The Bat outa Hell" cave corner sorts out the field Always interesting to see the difference between a quick shakedown and the longer run of the stage. Yep it's the "offs" that kill ya! Marshaling is very quick on this track but an off every lap or too costs dearly. Most cars can go fast but which ones can handle the road when off a "Race Track" and 65mm radius turns Best of luck every one - I need it :( Edited December 12, 2010 by Ontheflipside Quote I can't believe that I wanted to grow up Mount Salt Panorama Track Combined Road and Rally Track built near Salt Pan Creek Padstow - Sydney A quick build rally track 2017 WRP Round 11 at Mt Salt Panorama https://i128.photobu...zpss7sqiwfj.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one that Yngwie is running Round 4 on is less than 900mm x 1800mm Built this one for one of my Grandsons on 750 x 1500mm board Then extended it 2 years later with a hill climb Might even use it for one of the stages when it's my turn Edited December 12, 2010 by Ontheflipside Quote I can't believe that I wanted to grow up Mount Salt Panorama Track Combined Road and Rally Track built near Salt Pan Creek Padstow - Sydney A quick build rally track 2017 WRP Round 11 at Mt Salt Panorama https://i128.photobu...zpss7sqiwfj.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yngwie Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Will be including a quick video of each car to illustrate how the car performs ( or doesnt perform) on this track. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbfellp Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Great John. Thanks for all the effort and for getting this round running so fast. Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yngwie Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Stage 1 results in. This is the easier direction for the cars to travel so expect some changes in stage 2. A problem with many of the SCX cars, in particular the Fiat 124 was they could not get around "Bat out of Hell" cave with out stopping. This has affected their respective times greatly. It seems the Porsches are on song again! Tores car was exceptional. Just beautifully balanced and could around the corners much quicker than all others, hence the low times compared to all others.

Yngwie Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Stage 2 Results The up hill run (up the main straight ) results in 2 negative camber corners which are quite sharp. Some of the cars could not make the corner without being pushed along. This has affected those cars times. Overall Results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miveson Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 John, Well done on running Round 4 - time seemed to fly by - tough, tough track - I should really have come down and had a spin on the track (oh well). Congrats to the top 3 - 6ms between a podium finish and not. Mark Quote Slot Car Photos V8 Tipping Competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yngwie Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Whats interesting, as last year, the Porsches have dominated. Out of the top 6 cars, 5 are Porsches! The really handle the elevation changes and directions changes well. The SCX cars have many problems with the standard guides. They need to be glued up or have a shim installed as some of them were losing contact! This made them difficult to get a good lap out of! Welcome any time Mark!

Ember Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Yay. Not last. Happy with that. Congrats to the boys up the pointy end. And, as ever, thankyou to the host for the round for putting in the not inconsiderable amount of time required to run 31 toy cars over 2 rally stages. Much appreciated. And again apologies for a particular litte blue car. I promise I'll do better next year. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.
