grizz replied to IBIFTKH's topic in The Builds
Make that 4 Rob, that's awesome ! May have to find another Clod too ? -
Looking to book in with my boys again, but can I ask what is the age limit for a junior racer ? Cheers

I'll be buying a copy of that then !

After a WR-02 rolling chassis, to replace the one I robbed for my StumpSco project. Would consider any Wild Willy 2, Suzuki Jimny, VW camper, Tumbling bull, etc. I have a fetish the these things ! Also after a BearHawk.. Would like it to be a complete buggy, but not worried about electrics etc. Let me know what you have, and well go from there ? Cheers, Colin

My little 5 year old has his own Holiday buggy and a WR-02 Suzuki Jimny, With a old KO Propo radio (you can pick up really cheap now on eBay) With the Throttle end point to 35-40% to start with, and as he gets used to the controls slowly increase the end point.. Both cars are really strong, and so far he has only put a little split in the front wing of the HB. But that was only because, I tried to get him to do a lap of the Robin Hood raceway astro track, and he drove at full speed onto the rostrum. Oops ! Get them involved in the build and running of there cars and they love it. Enjoy.

yep Nitro sounds good to me -
me like !! wow !!

Hi Stella, do you know when you will see the Tamiya Tamtech Frog's and do you have any idea of price for them ? As we are thinking of running a class for them at our race club, so we may want a few !
-
Read the Eurocup forum, I was going to run in XBG with the TNS but the only running class's will be stock and super stock ! so I would not think that the M-chassis would run either
-
You might be lucky look's like only stock and super stock will be runing next year [!]
-
Best start getting ready now then [xx(] you can put my name down !
-
Dare I ask, but what happened to your XX-4 G+ ??? Mine has now turned up just got to find the time to build it, Kids get to bed !!! []
-
I think your right, but if the car handles better, you do better ? Anyway i've gone and done it... i've ordered a Losi xxx-4[xx(] i'll give the gravel hound another go though, just to see how much is the car and how much is the driver ???
-
My Gravel hound now has every Tamiya hop-up possible and weighs still 1700g, min limit is 1600g Do you think it would be up there with the rest or should i go a buy a Losi or kyosho [xx(] did i just say that ?? sorry !! anyway your thoughts

-
another way is to run in on low volts (up to 2v) for 4 days, watch the contact area brush to comm ! or slave run in for about 2 days runing the slave motor at 12v dam noisy though i did it, and it realy improved the output
-
Thats great we have about 25 drivers up for it so far, so more than half way on our min no.s required. will keep you all posted !!
-
We have not thought that far ahead yet, will depend on numbers on the day. realy shocked on the lack of interest from Tamiya club though [xx(]

Clue to Tamiya's plot for Re-re buggies
grizz replied to Yangtao's topic in Vintage Tamiya Discussion
We best keep an eye on ebay me thinks -
I would just like to know how many of you would be interested in racing in a M-Chassis race series ? The Races will be held in Wiltshire, on a sunday during the spring of next year. ANY M-chassis car will be eligible ! On the same day we may also run a vintage off-road race, any car that was on sale before 1990 in two and four wheel drive class's All race's will be on carpet at our indoor venue complete with a bar and food !!! for the off road race we will add jumps and table tops to the circuit So if you fancy a little more of a challange let me know by repling to this post !!
-
I use CVA super mini shocks with the 5mm spacer under the piston that gives you a nice ride height, on stock tyres we run 35wt front and 50wt rear shock oil, 2 hole pistons, give that a try []
-
Oh dear ! What has the world come to ??? the guy is only trying to get new blood into what is a fantastic sport / hobby, come on give some suport !! [xx(]
-
I totaly agree ! wish Tamiya would still supply the "masks" for the windows, these newer window stickers look rubish and totaly lack detail.
