Mini-T Racing at Bayswater (01/04/2005)

[Bowling Ball]

Bayswater is running this friday night. Mini-T's still get to run for free

SO ....... Get your butts down there! I'd like to see a Mini-T race. Last time I was the only Mini-T driver :( But they put me in with the 1/10th Mod trucks, I faired pretty well with a Mini-T and a Losi Speed motor!

How many races are there? I have only one usable battery (for now)...

[BALISTC]

I'd love to race, but I'm without a motor at the moment...its been sent back under warranty cos of shaft play :(

[Bowling Ball]

Justo - 4 races on a club day. You _should_ be able to get 2 runs out of your battery. I will have both my chargers there so can help out there.

RC_King - Pity, would have been nice if you were there this Friday.

Balistc - You still have the Losi Speed motor? do you have a old ESC Speed controller? That will do for now? (I am using a crudy GM V4 ESC for mine)

Nominations are usually in before 19:30.

Racing normally starts at 19:30.

(I came third in my best race, 2nd last in the worst. I there was a field of 7 drivers)

I'll probably be there, with my mini-T. Especially if your willing to help out with charging!

Before then, I still need pinion, good battery, Ti turnbuckles, new servo.

I'll see what I can do this fri, maybe leave work early, get to hobby shop, get parts, head to bayswater, put parts on 'T', race it.

I had to get a new servo ... Nylon gears never last long. Having said that I brought a HS-55 (eww).

I will be ordering a 3 Racing carbon deck later on, will invest in a Hitec 81MG then :)

I got the HS-55, it wont return to 'center'. ever.

you turn left, release, then it starts driving to the right. you turn it right, release, then it starts turning to the left. really annoyed. never worked properly out of the box.

[BALISTC]

It will fit with a bit of chassis relieving ;)

I havent got any ESC, so the Losi Speed motor will sit there doing nothing for a while. I've also only got 1 battery pack, my other one is on its way over

[Bowling Ball]

I was under the impression that the 81MG will fit into the aftermarket chassis

I will be ordering a 3 Racing Carbon chassis later on so guess will find out then.

Balistc - Want to borrow a RTR reciever/ESC and the Radio? (No longer using mine!) - You will need a connector for the Rec/ESC tho (I robbed it!)

[James]

it fits with minor mods. BALISTC fit one in his already.

[BALISTC]

With the 3 Racing chassis, you still gotta grind the little support posts a bit, in order to fit the HS81MG...just like you have to in the stock chassis.

The Fullforce chassis doesnt require any grinding whatsoever.

The RTR Receiver/ESC probably wont fit on my chassis, cos its a 3 Racing one...I dont think I've seen a stock radio/ESC on an aftermarket chassis before! :P

Thanks for the offer though :)

i love my fullforce chassis - they got handy lil servo mounts "specially made" for the chassis too :) They have 2 types of servo mounts - single hole, and double hole, so you can fit any servo in there, and better yet - the servo is pretty much held in by ONLY the servo mounts - i use the servo hold down anyways tho - looks bare without it, and a lil like it SHOULD be there -lol-

oh yeah - should have some piccys tomorrow too :p
