what makes a good car for a non magnet gt class race? everyone else is running nincos with slot it axels, dont know what motors they use.

cheers

 

[GRAH1]

pro slot gt 2/3 ferrari 355 ,

slot it porsche 956/962

slot it audi

fly lola

fly porsche gt1

the slot it cars run great out of the box as do the racer versions of the fly cars the pro slots need a bit of work but deliver when set up right

 

[LMP]

I use a ninco M3 with an NC2 and Pro Slot rears and Its extremely competitve with the slot it bunch.

Also succesful at the club are pro slot toyotas.

You want something fairly low with weight distributed evenly.

As Graham says though, the fly racers are the cars to beat.

 

[compound_goose]

what proslot, the 20x12 or the 19x11?

 

[LMP]

I have the 20 x 12 but they're a little big and took a lot of truing/running to fit snug.

I'd get the 19's.

 

[compound_goose]

ok then mate ill get the 19s

also what motor would be good for a club track?, i like to have a bit of an edge on the straights
thanks

 

[compound_goose]

ok then how does this sound:

ninco beamer, proslot rear tyres & SC-04 NC2 TYPE MOTOR TO FIT FLY TRUCKS, EVO2R, NINCO RATED @ 12V 29,000rpm, 0.54amp, 360gr/cm, Size 32x20x15mm £7.95

(no mag)

 

[McLaren]

I'm sorry, but all of the cars that Graham suggested would wizz all over the Beemer. It's too tall, not wide enough and isn't a good GT car.

It wouldn't be anywhere near a well prepared slot.it or racer car.

My personal favourite would be a Fly Racing Lola B98 with Slot.It lightweight parts and a Ninco NC4. Proslot tyres were spot one though, but 20x12s...

Lotus

 

[compound_goose]

well ill get the parts anyway,the motor and the tyres can still be fitted to any new car i use for it, e.g fly porsche anyway im not racing against adults, only against kids my age and slightly above so its parts id buy anyway

 

[Intergrali]

dont bother with motor if it's kids then.

Oh Lotus.. next time you see Roly ask him how competitive our M3's are.

I'm sorry but I've beat them all, so unless all the sruvers had ill prepared cars and no skill then I'd say its a pretty good car.

 

[jonny s]

Yes you have and you are getting better as you get more track time under your belt.

 

[Intergrali]

er lmp I think to test you driving skill you should enter a porsche challenge round, you'll have to enter as a privateer tho

[jonny s]

Every member of my club has the same attitude towards the Porsche challenge. Quite simply it`s this. It`s either all of us or non of us. I think Jim and I are going to see what we can sort out in the near future regarding next year.

 

[DR STICKY]

jonny
my under standing is that it is open to any body at pheonix to race in the porsche challange.
BUT! to say its every body or nobody, all or non.

how many accually want to race?
and would turn up

This reminds me of a classic car show I attended with Lancs Capri Club at Scarisbrick Hall. The announcer requested any 1980s cars to go into the show ring. Ok, so we thought maybe a couple of Mk.III Capris (my 2.8 included) would go. However, the Toyota MR2 bunch took off as a pack and every single bleeding MR2 there parked up in the ring thus preventing most of the other 80s cars from entering (not just Capris!!). Whilst we saw the funny side, there was rumbled undertones about this dubious "saturation bombing" approach to trying to obtain a trophy. The judges reacted well though, an absolutely mint Honda Accord

won!! Serves the bugger right

There's always next time - Capris are bigger and more lairy!

USAF memo :- B-52 carpet bombing is very accurate. From 30 000 feet, every single bomb released hits the ground.

Mark.

 

[compound_goose]

got the parts, got the car together and bugger. NO SUPERGLUE!!!!!! now the tyres fly off the rims once you go full throttle, i mean ALL the way off. car looks to be damn quick tho

cant wait for friday

 

[compound_goose]

friday came, and the car wheelhpped badly. I sanded the tyres a lot so there is no chance of them being out of round.Still no improvement. it this because there is too much torque in the back axel and the tyres cant cope? or have i just got a dud back axel?

 

[Intergrali]

glue your tyres on fool!

 

[compound_goose]

theyre already glued fool, how stupid do u think i am?

no wait, dont answer that one
