shadow_rusty Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yes Ben, I remember it very well... I enjoyed that car so much, I bought my own exactly the same with plans to run it this year... Unfortunately, life got in the way of entering it... That said, maybe I'll fit a towbar to Dyl's truck for you... Anything to slow him down a little... lol.

kalbfellp Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 It will be interesting to see how high it is,a couple of guys asked about this car. May be a SUB class for next year for lower cars!!!!! Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curef99 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 cars on the way, and i did not send the second classic to try as i had no time to run it this month. I made a crazy decision to change the classic wheels last week, i open that they will get a proper clean up before every race as i moved to BRM which does catch more dust than the MJK. regards fabien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben_M Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Two weeks until cars are due, still yet to run any of mine against the clock. Going to be a busy 1.5 weeks. Quote Some slot (and MTB) vids NOW SHOWING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAS41T Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'm with you Ben I need to fine tune my wrc car !! Then go over the raid and the historic car To make sure all is good 😅😅 Rossko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow_rusty Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Thankfully, I believe my Raid is done... But I still need to buy and fit tyres to my RS200, narrow the axle for Mitchell on his 124, and true the tyres on Mitchell's, Corey's and my historic's. Oh, and I have to paint a RC bodyshell for my mate by Thursday too... As you say Ben, a busy 1.5 weeks ahead...

Ben_M Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Team no hope Ninco almost ready to go. Raid is the same as last year except running Phils tyres and some minor body work changes. The other two are like chalk and cheese. After driving all the nice Ninco WRC cars which were rather easy and nice to drive, I decided on the spot that that was what I was going to use this year. I had already done some work on this one so I didn;t do much to it. It is runing Mjks on the rear and is being driven by an NC5. It could be a little more consistent but we will see how it goes. The 037 on the other hand, it is a true Group B car as it has wide tyres and an NSR shark 22 motor It is a bit of a handful but ill be interested to see how it goes. Only a little bit of work to do on them and they will be in the mail. Quote Some slot (and MTB) vids NOW SHOWING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbfellp Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Good line up Ben,hope the Lancia gets some inserts? I have one on my bench ready to test with an NC2 in it, just sorting tyres and wheels for mine, The standby car is a Fly Porsche. I hope everyone is having this weekend fine tuning their cars before posting next week.

charlesx Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi Phil. I think one of the back wheels on my RAID truck was slightly outside as standard so will understand if you toss out at scrutineering. Had I put ali wheels on I would have corrected but tried to keep whole car pretty standard and was concerned I would break wheel if I tried to remove as my experience with Ninco wheels is not good. Sorry about that. Regards Chas Le Breton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miveson Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Have to agree with the Ninco wheels - I'd be a much happier camper if Ninco made wheels with the M2 screws and even gears and pulleys.....

kalbfellp Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I am not so concerned about the Raids, some are very hard to move the wheels in. Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow_rusty Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 6x Cars on their way to Tas... Dylan - Ninco Ford Ranger Corey - SCX Fiat 124 Mitchell - SCX Fiat 124 Mine - Scaley Ford RS-200 and Ninco BMW X5 And a Semi-Tuned SCX VW Toureg to get Phil's thoughts on, on a real rally track... Also, I've included a post bag to send back the Toureg once you've had a play, and several extra ones you can use for car returns at the end of the proxy...

kalbfellp Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Fabian Check the information about the Raids in the race reports. Remember there is a minimum height and it was based on a Standard Budggy with sanded tyres. MJK make tyres to suit the Raids.

miveson Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) 50mm min height of body. tyres min width 22mm and chassis min height 3mm (2.5mm height gear to ground). wheel e ameter must be within a mm front to rear if u review winning cars you should get an idea on weight idea and placement tips. interesting that most used thruster motor.
