Ben_M Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks Mel. Good to see the Porsche had some pace, but I feel it may have had 1 de-slot which cost many places. Oh well. I will also be retiring my Porsche after this series. I could never get it to run the way I would like, I like that car of yours. I've been thinking about options if we run it again.

curef99 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 i hope that the last round will be better for my cars because this one was not... the beast feels squizzed between the MSC in the classic, and the xara is going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_M Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 The gearing on the xara was sounding a bit warn when it left here. Might not be running as smooth anymore. Quote Some slot (and MTB) vids NOW SHOWING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curef99 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 some work on it when it will come back. I have a second xara ready to go otherwise for the 2015/16 rally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gunn Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks for all the effort put in guys really is a great proxy and it goes down to the hard work you all put in , looking at the times agree with mucker 666 you can't get much closer than the results here curef99, and as we all know cannot build a car to do well on all the tracks , some tracks just favour one type of car over another, and i would think you would be quite happy with the performance of your Alpine a 3rd and a 4th is hardly a bad round by anyone's standard.

Ontheflipside Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Some pics of the Raid Trucks Down to six trucks I really thought the Trucks may not have been able to run on this track with a low bridge and close scenery etc but to my surprise they went extremely well. The approaches to the underpass often caught a few out. Sent the big fella out to be the track cleaner - a few warm up laps Went well after several warm up laps sorting out where it struggled. Didn't like too much of the scenery Drove well but run out of a bit of puff going up the mountain (as did a few others) and not good breaks on the steep decent. Handled the jump well Notice the rear wheels still in the air going over the jump in the reverse direction stage The Miveson car really handled this track well. Not super quick but very smooth and no real offsl Best pic available but added it to show the steepness of the mountain. This was in reverse direction and down hill is the steepest part Most brakes were very poor here Loose wheels on both stages was the Achilles heel with this car. Would have been a contender otherwise. I can't remember too much about Phils Truck. Very well balanced - might have been brakes down the mountain and not being able to hang the back out around some rocky sections Hugged the track very well and no offs or jagged on any rocks. Nice car Craig Must say I wasn't a fan of the Raid Trucks when first announced but after Mt Salt Panorama and here I'll enter one next year if they run again. Next . . . . . . the WRC cars Edited March 19, 2015 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...
kalbfellp Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks for the pics and comments Mel.My BM is very slow, spent too much time helping the kids! I think there is enough interest to try the Raids again, hopefully more development will make a difference.

shadow_rusty Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the report, and the pics of my truck are great... ps. did it land that jump? May have to lock the rules down a little next year for raids though... Could be interesting to run it as a hand out tyre class to make things a little closer. Not sure that locking the suspension as I have is in the spirit of raids either... Also, my kids are interested in entering one of my other raids next year...

Ontheflipside Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Updated series information: Thanks for the quick update Mark.

miveson Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 No dramas - it's not like you haven't been doing anything else..... I normally don't need the spreadsheet - can work off the results posted.... Thanks for the round - a superb effort as usual and good to get a podium (first one ever). Loosk like the raid bug has hit a few people and I think next year the raid class will be by far the biggest as it's generating lots and lots of interest which is a good thing. Might even have a test track by the end of the year Quote Slot Car Photos V8 Tipping Competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi all. I am happy to jump on the Raid thing too. Did consider at last moment last year but not many available in NZ so an early clarification of rules including models allowed will ensure my participation. Look forward to same.
