Now the dust has settled from last weekends Interclub it’s time to think about the week ahead looks like there is not too much on really.
Wednesday night (22nd) – F1 racing at Logan – if you don’t have a F1 yet come on down for a look and a chat. If you have a Tamiya F1 and think it will be outclassed by the Corally F1 etc then bring it down anyway we are looking for a 540 F1 class and the Tamiya F103 is king in that class. See you there.
Sunday (26th)
Bayside – Onroad EP and GP – a great place to start your kids or grandkids off in 540 and also a great race day all round. EP 540, Stock and psooibly 10.5 or Mod. GP – GT and Pro. Nominations by 8.30
Sunny Coast – Onroad EP and GP all classes. nominations 8.30
Chargers – EP Offroad 2nd round of the club points series and a great place to run EP offroad all classes. Nominations 10.30
Whichever events you decide to race at, have a good time.

Hi Heavy
I’m pretty sure that goldcoast is on this weekend too .LikeLike
-
Are there many stock buggies getting around Redbank. I’m thinking I might need to trade in my B4 for a T4.
Cheers
AdrianLikeLike

Think you would always get a run in 2wd stock. You could always get a Schumacher 4wd buggy and run 4wd mod we could duke it out for last place.

I thought that the Gold Coast ran on teh same weekend as Logan but apparently not – I don’t know how to work out when they are running – but apparently they are running this weekend as well.
So they will be my third choice for Sunday
I could go to Bayside till 10.30 then rip out to Chargers but can’t see how I can make the Gold Coast.
choices choicesLikeLike

Looking at the GC calendar it seems they had a 3 week break in the middle and now are on the Bayside weekend every fortnite.
Thats a bummer as it rules me out of making GC any time soon.LikeLike

The M I-4’s were released with black blades on the dogbones. But looks like due to ongoing testing, they may have now chosen to use the grey blades again. I will have to confirm with Heavy which shipment my M I-4 was from to confirm the change.

Sorry Vazzo the answer is that the grey blade have longer wear and are the prefered option

WOW – Wednesday night at Logan is just getting better – not many numbers yet if F1 but we are certainly getting a few guys there that are quickly coming to grips with 2wd F1 cars.
We had no computer tonight so we just raced without it – a series of 10 lap races – that’s as high as Bob can count – and they were fantastic races.
I was just using a 540 in my car (a circa 1990 Corally F1) and it was just as good – fast and driveable as any of the other cars. I’ll run an 540 motor in the Tech next week as I think it would be on teh money as well.
Most enjoyable night.LikeLike

Now for Sunday.
Bayside I reckon for me (although I really, really want to go to Chargers Offroad ) question remains is it stock or 10.5 or mod.LikeLike
-

The battery post is actually a different post to the Mi3 one. I have some of those but doubt if they can be made to work – we can try tomorrow.

Bayside seemed like a pretty good meet today – I wasn’t there for that long but there was a strong heat of stock ( I was delighted to run 3rd and 4th in teh 2 heats I did before I left ) and mod was looking interesting with a couple of new faces (Tony making a start and Andrew making a come back to mod ). The 540 field was small but they were having good races.
Sorry didn’t get a chance to watch the Gas but Big Phil was looking good in the bit I did watch. Gas seems to have died off a bit at Bayside lately.
Went to Chargers Offroad meet at Redbank and there was quite a crowd there – 2 heats of each of 2wd stock, 4wd mod, stock truck and maybe 1 heat of mod truck.
I was delighted to finish 3rd in the B final managed to get some decent tyres on the car for the final and it made a difference – thanks Gary.
The Electric offroad scene at Redbank seems to be growing in numbers every week. Apparently there will be a new track layout soon as well – looking forward to that.
Next race meet for me – F1 Wednesday night.LikeLike

Tony had a awesome debut in mod! He was quick and had good lap times!!! and super consistency!!! 0.2 std 😯 😯
Your motor survived Heavy….it was never in harms way!
Hopefully, Andrew will get the black cat off his back and have a happier time next fortnight. Wasn’t him or the car….just everything else, power supply, tire warmers….as I said…black cat stuff….
Who knows…next fortnight we might be able to lure JP out of retirement and others out of the woodwork??? 🙄LikeLike

Hey Tony
Did you find the 6.5 had enough speed? I just ordered some new motors and they had no 5.5 so I grabbed a 6.5 instead. Fingers crossed it will do the job.LikeLike
-
WOW ❗ ❗ That was awesome fun, just to have all that power on tap. Heavy your motor is in good shape. I was keeping an eye on the temp all day.
Vazzo the 6.5 has evething you need to start with. My aim is to stay with the 6.5 for a short while, stay smooth and consistant rather than chase lap times at this stage. Thanks to Leanard and Tones for there help and patience. 😀LikeLike

All that speed and I bet your eyes werent blood shot by the end of the race 😆 Gotta luv EP ❗
