Lonestar 1 Posted April 17, 2008 Ok, tonight there will be a hopped up ta01 (cosworth) vs a hopped up tt01 (skyline).. Similar skill drivers, and similar motors etc.. who do you think will win? 1- define "win" 2- what kind of racing? 3- surprised to hear no work about drivers abilities... I'm not placing a bet...

ryanbored 3 Posted April 17, 2008 Flat or bumpy ground? I'd say Cossie, cos the TT01'll drop a driveshaft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WillyChang 1812 Posted April 17, 2008 if they're geared the same... i'll go with the TT01... 200g advantage can't be beat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butler 338 Posted April 17, 2008 Depends on driver skills. Unless you are both very handy, then I think the car will make no difference at all. Whoever can win with the TT will be probably be able to win with the TA. I was bashing with a mate on sunday a m chassis versus a vintage kyoshos laxer ZX, yet its close racing because we are both pretty amature at driving.

billg4 25 Posted April 17, 2008 I'll say the TT01 The TA will strip the spur when he nails the brakes on the backstretch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinceVegaUK 0 Posted April 17, 2008 Well the TT01 won tonight but only down to setup, the TA01 had the speed on the straights but the back end swung out too much and created massive oversteer. Im sure Qatmix will fill you in with the details. Time for round 2 as i think with a few setup changes the oversteer on the TA01 can be dialed out a little but I feel the chassis is prone to being slightly back heavy causing it to swing around a lot more than the TT01.

qatmix 794 Posted April 17, 2008 Bets are off until next Thursday The ta01 had not raced indoors until tonight, so the suspension was waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy off. The car was either drifting or grip rolling.. this coupled with the batteries falling out of the chassis for EVERY RACE! made it a bit difficult to compare.. so Velcro was added to the cells/chassis and the damper oil / springs will be adjusted ready for the showdown.. Quick hint.. dont expect a rally tuned car (the escort was made for rally) to automatically work indoors by adding foams and lowering the suspension.. Anyone know where I can get a rear ta01 stabiliser set? So keep the bets coming and get ready for a full race report of the showdown.. next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
