shadow_rusty Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 So, with work still being stupidly busy, my stupidity at using the wrong voltage, and just not being able to get to the post office this week, I figured that I would give the raid trucks 1 last quick super special, just for Chas' stats stage... lol. The stage is anti clockwise on the Targa track at last years 12v, but only 5 laps long... Also, given that I've forgotten to post up my views on this years trucks, I figured that it's a good opportunity to do that too. 8. Good power to weight, but far too tippy... I think the lead must be attached to the roof, not the chassis... 6. Great balance, good power, just not absolutely 'perfect'... Aka, it's not Charles'... 2. Good handling, slightly slipery, but the motor feels a little 'laggy'... Did someone leave the handbrake on? 9. Nice power, ok balance, but still lacking some grip... Yep, the drift king title goes to Fabian. 10. Near perfect, but struggled on the first hairpin clockwise. It will be hard to improve upon... ps. As good as it is, I don't like your chances at beating the grandkids this year... 3. The different gearing front to rear seems to upset it here, and it was prone to tipping if drifted onto the hairpin ripple strips. Sound totally cool when pushed hard though. 1. Almost stock, and yep, this is the car to beat... Just how is it so perfect? 7. Great improvement over last year. Tyres seem out of round / balance though. Did you put Kangaroo juice in the tank? 5. So much grip, and so little tip... Is this car part touring car? ps. Watch out Chas, this is after your title... 4. Too hard to slide when needed, and far too little motor. Is it NC1 powered? Can we run at 15v? Results will be posted soon...

shadow_rusty Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Up next are the historics... And this time, thoughts first... 29 - Massive improvement over last year, still a little tippy, and still doesn't like the ripple strips either. 34 - Seems underpowered, but good balance and predictable slide make it's very easy to drive 28 - Still a great little car that hits way above it's weight. Only missing brakes. Possibly adding a tooth or two to the spur will help 31 - Smooth, balanced, great little runner, and hard to find fault with. 32 - Nice balance which defies it's short wheelbase. Slightly undergeared for here, but only slightly. 27 - Guide doesn't centre. LOTS of motor, and overgeared, hence, no brakes. 24 - Sooo much motor (~22k FK-180), but boy oh boy does it stop on a dime. Need ~10% more rear grip, and 20% less motor. 25 - Nice balance, good motor, like it was built here... Oh Wait, it was... 30 - Good motor / gearing. Lacks a little rear grip. ps. This is one seriously rattley car... 26 - Nice balance, and motor/gearing. Just didn't like the ripple strips on the hairpins. 33 - Hmm, is this car part chaff cutter? Very noisey gears, and lots of axle hop. Fix the hop, and this would be a podium car... 35 - Another Spirit, and another 'large' motor... Nice balance, but when it stepped out, you couldn't catch it... 36 - Well balanced, decent grip, but just lacking a little bit of motor... Miverson, whilst your car made it through the first stage, the motor must have been loose in the mount, which has encourage the axle hop, and worn the spur gear. I've re-glued the motor, and re-meshed the gear, and will test it prior to the next heat... If needed, I'll replace the gear...

miveson Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 No worries Michael - thanks - I thought I'd glued most of the motors in but the rush at the end was ridiculous so nothing surprises me in the least. If it need new gear let me know and I'll send a replacement for whatever your replace it with.

shadow_rusty Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Motor was glued in, but it broke free. Your 'conversion' from FK-130 to FC-130 was interesting to say the least. Just gave it a run, and it seems to be ok... Some of the axle hop is gone, which has been replaced by extra 'slide'... Can't win them all I guess...

shadow_rusty Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) In the Stage 1 (Which was run second), you come down the hill into a slightly off camber corner. Some cars handle this well, and other exhibit lots more slide than they did running the other way. The kink at the start of the same straight is also a lot more evident in this direction. Also, brakes seem to play a much smaller part in this direction. I think that these are the reasons for a few of the cars running 0.2sec slower in this direction. As for the Metro, there's nothing particularly wrong with it, but due to it's short wheelbase, you do need to be cautious with it. Modern is looking interesting... Phil is running 7.2's and Boss302 is running 7.6's... Oh that's right, they are both 'cheating' and forgot to remove the magnet. AMCC's car has loose weight in it, so all three will be getting fixed up prior to stage 1... As for the Malware warning, I'm not sure what is going on there. All images are stored on my personal webspace, and there are no .xml or executables on it, just .xls .xlsx and .jpg. My guess is that all of the users.on.net site is being blocked by your AV due to a different user. Edit: Peter you finished 3rd and 7th in the two stages...

shadow_rusty Posted November 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Well that was an interesting stage... 1. Alexis car kept triggering the lap sensors from nearly anywhere on the track. 2. Fabian's car 'blew' a tyre. Litterly... Pieces all over the track... So to fix Alexis' issue, I noticed that one of the braids was torn, replaced it, and marginally better. Then I noticed that the guide wire was hanging on by a thread, so I repaired that, and much fewer glitches. But the car was getting noisier and noisier... Turned out that the spur had very nearly worn through the pinion, so whilst I was there, I fixed that too... So, half an hour later, I was actually able to get the car to score laps correctly. Then I got to Fabian's car. It was not a patch on last years effort, and was sliding everywhere and was hard to drive. Half way through it became much slidier, and noisier, and with every lap, was getting worse. For the last few laps, I must admit that I was begging it to not be another worn gear as it screamed around the track. When the heat ended, I had a look at the car, and low and behold, 1/8 of the rim was showing through the tyre. So, I look at the track, and sure enough, there are bits of tyre EVERYWHERE... Turns out that the MJK's had gone off and were a light brown / yellow colour, and were just crumbling. It's now off to the repair shop for some more shoes... But of course I had to then clean the track up, and run a bunch of laps with the 'cleaning car' to bring the track back to normal. I've fitted some used MJK's that once glued and trued, should be similar size to the originals, and certainly offer better grip than it had... So, what should of taken about 1.5hours to run, has taken about 3... But it was all fun, so no loss there...

shadow_rusty Posted November 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 No real drama, just a little surprising when they are lapping so quickly. Also, they were in Boss' and your modern rally cars, not the historics...
