When is that Porsche 935 body going to be released?? Is it pre-painted? How does it fit on the cup racer chassis?

andy - are those 'old' x-pattern mini tires or newer mini x-patterns??

and yeah when is the porsche gonna be ready ?

andyh

Should be out next month, Porsche final paperwork etc... It is a clear body, although the Silver "Martini" livery is only a 2 color paint job (silver, orange).

It fits perfectly on the Cup Racer...

andyh

We will be receiving general stock of Mini X-Patterns at the end of next month.
They will be the same as the previous Mini X-Patterns:
#4560 X-Pattern Radial Mini Tire (B15-40)
#4565 X-Pattern Radial Belted Mini Tire (B15-40)

West Coast RC Raceway Saturday race night/Sunday practice observations, tips, fyis etc....

West Coast RC Raceway is a high bite large sized indoor asphalt track.

The Porsche body not only looks great but ran pretty well also.

Best Cup Racer tire combo was #100630 MX60 SLICK TIRE S rear and #100628 MX60 SLICK TIRE M on the front. The soon to be available (again) Mini X-Patterns also ran really good!

The FRONT SHOCK TOWER (WOVEN GRAPHITE/ 3.0mm) helped out a lot as it provided a more upright front shock position (used #2 pistons with 50wt AE oil). Installed them for Sunday practice session and wished I had them the night before for the race.

Used #87320 SHOCK SPRING SET (HARD/CUP RACER) springs (pink front and black rear)

Sway bar setup, #87598 SWAY BAR SET (FRONT/REAR/CUP RACER), gold front and silver rear

#87593 BALL DIFFERENTIAL SET (39T) in the rear.

is the "S" slick available yet? last I looked no one had them in stock..

and where did you use the ball diff? in the front or rear?

have your tried the 'Pro4 mod' yet?

andyh

The "S" tires came in a few weeks back and should be at the distributors if not at some shops already.

Rear ball diff.

No Pro4 mod, kinda don't want to revisit my Pro 4

ok, its not a 'mod' persay, but you can use the Pro4 diff gear instead of the metal gear and that bearing holder thingie

how does the cup racer wheel diamiter compare 2 the older hpi mini wheel diamiter

are the older wheels smaller or are they the same size

k_bojar

iTrader: (30)

the older wheels have a smaller diameter...

plus its a different mounting system on the Cup Racer Rims versus the old mini rims and tamiya rims...

these tires mount like the vintage tires - that weird slot bead-thing instead of the large flat spot

Thanks for the setup tips AndyH.
Did you use the same shock oil and piston setup for the rear (#2 piston/50wt oil)?
thanks

Manny

I don't want to sound nit picky, but that's an RSR...I only point it out because doing a 935 is an awesome idea!

andyh

Yes, same, West Coast RC Raceway is pretty high bite.

Tried that setup on a loose parking lot, doesn't work quite so well. Probably would need to be softer.
