BiggusDitchus 38 Posted November 30, 2002 Like the idea of 7 but 3 is close(who needs brakes they only slow you down)[] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Carsnboats Posted November 30, 2002 Interesting range of choices. can't settle on one particular one. I am a combination of 2,3 and 11. Always try to get airborne, enjoy handbraking corners on wet tracks or powersliding. And always try to be 1st at the first corner. If I can't be first I prefer to hangback, let everyone pile up at the first corner then slide through the wreckage usually into 1st or 2nd place.[] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeemax 0 Posted November 30, 2002 Im A number 7 and 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldfordguy 0 Posted November 30, 2002 In my xr4ti, Im a 2. In my old truck, a 5. In the explorer, a 3. Xr4ti breaks the rear loose very easy, and is great fun to push the limits around any corner. My truck is slow off the line, dosent inspire much high speed confidence. Its more fun to just trundle along, blocking impatient traffic, with a get there when I get there kinda attitude. The explorer inspires confidence up to its limit, when things get very tippy scary. Its a great vehicle to be in a hurry with because one can bully their way through traffic in the quick, easy driving suv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldfordguy 0 Posted November 30, 2002 Of course, if your refering to rc, then I think I am a 1, but really,Im a 2 1/2. I just recently tried driving a 1/16 rc tank, and with that I am deffinately a 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJTheo 2 Posted November 30, 2002 quote:6. What post "BANG" (new shell every week) id="quote">id="quote"> I guess you mean then for RC, anyway in RC I would say 2-3, in 1:1 sometimes 1 (with minmal understeer effiecient & fast) and sometimes 2 (provoked oversteer, fun but slow), note that this in comparison to an average driver, of course there are always faster ones [] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njmlondon 570 Posted December 2, 2002 I like to mix a bit of 2 with 11, but normally get totally overconfident and end with some 6... quote: 2. Rally Supreme (sideways skill) 6.

If you let anybody drive your cars do you a) egg them on to go faster bury your head in your hands and pray c) use the word "gentle" a million times not understanding how somebody can be so ham fisted with the throttle and stearing d) look over their shoulders nervously saying "here... let me show you..." e) yell "c'mon get some air you wimp" f) yell "keep away from that... yes the wall... yes THAT WALL... ****" g) say "when the car is going away from you left on the transmitter is left on the car... and when it is coming towards you left makes the car go left but it is to your right... thats right, right... no... dont go that way... no... turn it the other way... ****" g) none of the above because nobody is ever let getting near them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
