Shaynus 27 Report post Posted July 15, 2020 Ok, she's back together and the wheels turn in the right direction! Here is my "SUSS Racing" Gulf #9 Audi A4 DTM Lots of "1st"'s for me - 1st proxy event, 1st time preping a car for another track (only ever raced my cars a 1 track), 1st time mod'ing a SCX, 1st time trying to "weather" a car, 1st go at doing clear decals. I did a couple of shake down laps yesterday, before pulling it down again. It is certainly nowhere as fast as my NSR, so I don't think the leaders have much to worry about, but it has been a fun (?) challenge to get it done (and on timejus-t!), which I have enjoyed doing, which is the main thing! I should be posting this off on Friday, and I'll sort payment over the weekend, if not before Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sports Racer 28 Report post Posted July 16, 2020 Best proxy for 1'st's. I like to give lots of feedback and videos showing how your car goes. There's some seriously fast cars entered this year by the Canberra locals so it will be good to see how the rest of the world compares. Then there's my car which is faster than anything else I've ever built but still .05 sec per lap off the top pace in testing. At least it drives well and hard to deslot. 1 Quote May the downforce be with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reek455 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) My entry is on the way. I was not able to do much testing at our main racing venue due to the virus but it was well behaved when I ran it last. It is a Ninco body with a modified Slot.it chassis with an AW pod with spring suspension and a Slot.it Boxer 2 motor. We use mostly NSR tires around here so I shipped it with those, so I hope I'm not making a huge mistake doing so. They are considerably faster than urethanes at our regular venue which is routed wood.

Brumos RSR 7 Report post Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Car was shipped today, my 1st ever hot hatch so we will learn a ton about high centers of gravity during this series. The car was built with bin parts with the body and chassis purchased new. All other parts have been used in other cars NSR CLIO NSR Wheels oh no.......penalty for no inserts I just thought about it NSR tires so we will see how this goes versus my urethane debacle last series NSR motor in a sidewinder configuration Extra hard pod Yellow chassis hopefully it will preserve the tires some Thunderslot guide Edited July 19, 2020 by Brumos RSR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sports Racer 28 Report post Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) We won't start the proxy officially until all the cars arrive. I'll do a "preliminary" run on my test track soon with the cars that I have to let people know how the cars compare. Edited July 27, 2020 by Sports Racer Quote May the downforce be with you.

Pepsi62 5 Report post Posted July 28, 2020 Hi Paul, posted my MG today, realized after that I forgot to put my forum name on the bottom of the chassis. I'll sort the payment on Friday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sports Racer 28 Report post Posted July 29, 2020 Thanks for still entering. There'll be a slight penalty for late posting as all cars should have been in the post by 20/7/20. Don't worry about having no name on the bottom. I have a big hammer to nail on a 12kg plaque with your name on it. Cheers Paul Quote May the downforce be with you.

Peter Gunn 84 Report post Posted July 29, 2020 You never know in a proxy series Pepsi62, i am sitting here building a replacement for the car i sent this year for 2021 something completly differant from what's gone before , always a learning curve my friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sports Racer 28 Report post Posted July 30, 2020 So right Keith. On the weekend before the cars had to be posted I built up a Group 5 Sideways Mustang and it lapped my test track much faster than my Calibra proxy car so I put a NSR Renault Clio body on the Mustang chassis. It has the potential to win the proxy but only with more development time so it's shelved until next year. The Calibra is a little bit slower but much easier to drive which is what you need for a proxy car. Quote May the downforce be with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
