Forgot to add, we'd be happy to host a round at Farnham if you need a date. This was our most recent rally event:

It took a while to respond to this topic, but bugger me it takes ages getting all these layers of coats, jackets and mittens off to be able to type! Look forward to the rules coming out (if they havent already), I reckon my little RS200 could do a place or two better if I send it to Aus in time this year! ;)

 

I love the look of that S1, it's such a shame that none of the Audi's liked my Deadman's stage in 2018.

If you do host a round in Farnham, please promise me you are not going to use that bloody Ninco(?) rope/swingbridge or that stage where the cars fell down a hill about 7' tall :D More than welcome to use your Red Arrows stage again though, I enjoyed that.

Hi Martyn,

 

No... we won't have vertiginous Ninco if we're on the calendar. My S1 quite liked it, though... that big sledge of a sump guard did its job, I don't think the front wheels touched once!

 

I'll talk to the members and see how many are keen to help, then I'll know how many stages we can hope to run.

Hi Mel and all. I have been threatening to build a rally type track for several years. Lo and behold I finally got it going today in its most basic form. I actually started it in July 2018 while my wife was overseas but Branco gave me the last push to get it done. Not sure yet whether it is WRP Round material but I have tried several of my cars without difficulty including my OZ Rally Scaly Ford RS200, a completely standard Ford RS200, my WRP Metro and earlier SCX Toyota 4WD, SCX Ford Escort and finally a standard Scaly Ford Fiesta.

 

Track is very tight with one long straight plus a shorter one but the rest is a variety of sweeping to tight corners all fitted onto a door sized board - 800mm x 1980mm. It was the first time I had used a router so it is a bit rough. Some extra trimming was required in a few places. The only rally track I have ever driven on except for a Ninco one in Wellington was once a few years ago thanks to Mel and his Mount Salt Panorama track while on holiday in Sydney.

 

It has no timing gear or proper controller yet but paint surface did not appear to a problem grip wise. Do not laugh but sample-pot enamel paint was applied with a bit of towelling. Have thoughts of using a timing app on my cell phone for timing. Can anybody suggest a suitable application.

 

Will take a photo over weekend and post on AUSLOT so you can all have a good laugh at my effort. Next step will be to build a sprint type track of the same size as I do not have a lot of room.

Hi guys

 

Barbs' car has been lightly serviced and is running OK again since I've tightened the screws up a bit, from where they were when it arrived back.

 

My car is running OK-ish but still too tippy, so I have a bit of work to do on that in the next week or two.

 

Do we have a potential start date yet?

 

My messages on this forum do not currently work for some reason, so e-mail is best at the moment.

 

Cheers

Dave

With only minor rule changes and possibly have Only to change rear tyres haw long will it take?

I think having this event run over Christmas New Year would be a mistake.

OzRally only worked over thst period because the cars were in Sydney for Christmas.

Quick question for everyone - is it permitted to change the driver's head? I usually put a Team Slot head on my Scaextric bodies because they're more accurate - particularly for Group B.

 

My fettling skills are limited but I can at least make something pretty to chuck at the scenery!

 

Many thanks
