charlesx Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi Gazza. My tyres arrived safely this morning. Thanks for that. Now comes the tricky part. Like last year however they do not seem to be marked in any way like rules say. Regards Chas Le Breton (charlesx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 They are a different colour to normal MJKs Chas. I think they'll throw brown dust when truing. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

kalbfellp Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Mine have arrived, now to try and remember which packet is the WRC ones! Put them down on the desk with several other packets of SCX/ MJK tyres. Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Under a bright light the WRP ones are slightly translucent and reddish/black rather than a dead black. Quote Computers.

gazza Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Under a bright light the WRP ones are slightly translucent and reddish/black rather than a dead black. One might even say they are almost brown in colour against the light Quote Quickly read this post before it is deleted or i turn grey again Gary http://www.facebook.com/Rallyproxy2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curef99 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 So... we are almost in 2016. Merry christmas to everybody. Do we have an agreement that the 2016 wrp can have a guide change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontheflipside Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Has anyone had any success in doing a simple and economical build with the current SCX WRC cars suitable to run in the WRP?

kalbfellp Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Mel look at Craig's and Gazzas Proxy cars when they arrive there. Both are great runners.Gazza's car is better because it is a Ford!! Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow_rusty Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 The biggest issue with the modern SCX rally cars is parity due to the various motors. The newer RK motored cars are quite good. It doesn't hurt that they are ~20k motors too... Unfortunately, the only 4wd motors you can find now are old stock, and the RK motor to the best of my knowledge is not sold on it's own. The nearest motor is the Pro Turbo 4x4, which is also a 20k motor. The RX-91 is a ~19k motor, and also performs similarly, but has a shorter shaft. The Pro Double is also 20k, but has a long stack, and has more than double the torque of the other 2 20k motors, and if geared up, will demolish the others.

miveson Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Try finding a Pro Double motor - I needed one about 6 weeks ago and found it ridiculously hard to find.

Ember Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I think I've still got a couple of Pro-Turbo rally motors Miveson. Bigger question to my mind is "What happened to the 2015 series?" I figured because this season had fallen into a black hole, any chance of getting it off the ground for next year was pretty well dead in the water. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

miveson Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Thanks for the info SR, and kind offer Embs - I eventually found 3 of the Pro Doubles in Australia - I needed them for an SCX/Scalextric raid vehicle whose chassis would only fit a SCX motor.

Peter Gunn Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Tend to agree with Lynne there a few SCX rally cars around over here Pendals stock a few of them but the motor issue is a problem i have Fiestas with 91 in, bought a Peugeot with a Escort cossie and the Peugeot has a 81 the cossi a 81B so tend to think they are bunging in these cars what they have found in stock at various times, really not sure where it leaves this proxy as regards 2016, still not finished 2015 and i think the interest is ebbing away slowly.

curef99 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 The best would be to have a pirahna or a slotit orange belt in an scx mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branco Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Imo this is still the best Proxy out there and would be a shame to lose it. I have quit most other Proxies due to this that and the other but was looking forward to 2016 WRP.

kalbfellp Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 The Sydney guys have been a little occupied,Mel has moved house,Gazza has found time for a little holiday. Should see some action very early in the new year. Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontheflipside Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I never want to move again Phil. Most physical and stressful time of my life and still stuff in storage and days of unpacking ahead. My track is still in transit/parked on the back of a car trailer. I'm currently spending Christmas in Qld and not home until 2nd week of Jan. Hopefully my track will be in it's new home and up and running soon after.
