you have to one day dude, i’ve still got those stickers here for you…:smiley2:
looks like it’s clearing up over this way… amy it stay that way for Sunday… though i think i may have spoken too soon…:smiley2:
if the Xspeed, pnSO5 and speedy all had the same speed then that’d be fair… prolly easier to all use X speeds as every man and his dog has one. Alloy would have to be restricted due to cars carrying extra weight; two cars with the same set up but one with alloy, the other with stock… i know which’d be faster… Maybe rims only? No fets or nellies would be the go. Limit to a set motor and pinion and we’re right as rain
Stratus and 2.0 Stratus are pretty popular… very aerodynamic, plus, i’ve won twice with the 2.0…:smiley2:
Quote:cool z-beam cant wait!anddave you can have the rx7 back if you want its got racing damage but still in one piece. would cost ya more stickers tho LOL.
hahaha… nah, that alright, i actually sold it as i did’nt really want to keep adjusting from medium to long wheelbase all the time. (threads the screw holes in the chassis…) If you need more stickers that’s not a problem though…:smiley2:
true, true… was talking with Pete about this earlier. He prefers the idea of everyone having the exact same set up, pinion and all. Would make for some interesting racing, as only driver ability will decide the outcome… at this point im thinking stock motor and pinion, and 8 or 9 tooth with an X speed
Quote:with this scale you would be better of going to Jasco if it rains…!:smiley2:that’s where i was talking about…:D hopefully there wont be any need though…
mate with this scale we can successfully use the carpark at Meadowbank if it rains… i’ll do the sweeping…:smiley2: plus, the pillars will give us an extra challenge…:D keeping my eye on the weatherwatch site, and Sunday (at the moment) is looking like it migt be clearing… but we’ll see. Fingers crossed eh?
Quote:Quote:nice track if only we had one place in oz which had a track like that!those guys do have skill i couldnt go that fast straight up but im sure if i had enuff prctice i could :smiley16:
practice? what have you guys been doing each sunday when you meet up? daves track would be great practice, i only got a small taste of competitive mini-z racing that day but ive been hankering for it since…
why dont you guys in sydney set some guidelines up for the next meet so you can all focus on your driving rather than worrying about how fast you can go? your sure to have a great time if you put the effort in! what do you reckon dave?
now i know what Pete’s talking about… yeah, i agree z-beam. I’ve said for a while now that having a z that can do xxkph is all well and good, but no use on a track… we could get a couple of classes together, ie. stock motor and 7 tooth, no internal mods but minor chassis mods, ie; bearings, ball diff. Second class could see all mods, except internal, on chassis. Cant do much ore than that, no-ones gonna want to set up one z for different race specs if there’s three or more classes.(not all of our group have 4+ Z’s!!!) ken; i looked into the Kyosho and also RCP track systems, both were pretty pricey (once you include the killer postage; weighty stuff carpet is…:smiley2:), plus, as TD mentions, there’s really no-where to store it.
Quote:are you doing a VX because of the class of racing in castle hill dude?wouldnt mind joining you guys next time u go.
yeah mate… next step up sees me needing a Commodore or Falcon… might go AU Falcon yet, not sure. No doubt i’ve got a bit of time before i move up… lol It’s every week but i think next Friday might be off due to Easter…
opting out of the cop car idea now… still going to do a vx though, no doubt… just gotta come up with something different
yeah, i was thinking that double wide lanes using the Z track… should be perfect for the 1/10s… we’re talking 8 foot wide lanes here, with no doubt 4 cars… bring on Sunday!! And p**s off rain!!!
either way i’ll see you tonight at about 8pm or so…
that’s the fd right? If so i had that… passed it onto TallDude if i remember right…
those lights look awesome in the rx7… should’ve kept the one i had…:sad:
back off!!! I’ll make you teensie!!!:p
thin as… about 1/15 of a mm or so. About a quarter of the thickness of the other vinyls we use. Marks pretty easy, you’ve gotta be careful with it…
thats pretty cool… wonder what’s painted on the rear of the thing…:D
yeah, um… ok… maybe that can go on the back burner for a while then…:smiley2:
i guess i could get the same look from our chrome silver or gold (mirrored) vinyl that we have here at work… might give it a whirl:)
and here i was thinking i’d had an original idea… at least that answers my question of this idea’s illegality… might have to give it a pass then. oh well
Quote:and there was a guy racing his mini with tires like that the other week at the hill:shock:that explains alot… he was all over the place…
purple was actually my second choice, but the hobby shop i went to had no metellic royal or navy blue so this was the next choice… thinking of doing a vx Commodore in white and making up some Police vinyl. You know, the blue checkered sides and all that. (Are cop car vinyls the same from state to state? Not sure, but i’d say not). Be funny to see a 1/10 vx cop car chasing others around at the track. Just gotta figure a way to do the lights on top… ah, ideas are ever brewing in my head…:D
lol those rears have more foam visible than rubber Dave!
any hints:question::p:D come on give us a hint!!!
