TC3 TurbO


Hi guys,
Back again! First of all I would like to say that it was great, racing in Marsascala (on the roof of the toilets
) thanks to the commitee and most for the first contact with the L.C. , Duncan. Also it will probably be another great event in Baystreet (with no doubts) and hope that will be more racers!
B.T.W. TC3 Turbo, to make an avator go to control panel, edit options, change avator, browse and if you have a small logo of the ae click on it from your hardisk and then click on Submit.

I was down today. Some of the dust on the track has cleared up and I also oiled my bearing and my car is going faster.
Might need to change my pinion though.

Anyway,
I think I'll make it tomorrow.

Regards

Exclamation Batteries

Just was looking at the new HV 3000 cells from Orion. According to the graph they give more time than Powers batteries and much more punch. Should be good!
Also, batteries are matched by hand. The real expensive part is making batteries Max cellerated (reducing the battery's resisitance). That is why normal separate batteries are not very expensive.

Adam,
Is it a good idea if a new thread will be opened for the IRMCC committee, in which they can issue the results of next season and also inform us about new events? Also they can give minutes of the committee meetings. What do you think?
Joe, are you still following this thread?

When we had a committee thread everyone got mixed up on which thread to write and soon enough the thread got abandoned.
If we do open such a thread it will have to be just for news and nothing else. Any comments will have to be posted on another thread. In fact it sould only be available to the committee so that only they write on it.

I can't come at the track this afternoon 'cause this week I'm working on night shift. If I sleep in the morning tomorrow, I will probably come at about 6.00pm.

you mean the expencive part is matching the cells...right???...max-cellerated is just a batch of good matched cells chosen (atleast thats what i read)
i couldnt come to the track too ....

No Adam.
According to the Orion Factory Website Max-xellerating a battery is a process that all good batteries go through. There is a special machine for the job. It lowers that batterie's resistance and that is why factory batteries are better than the ones you just buy off the shelf.

Go on this site and all is explained.

ok i get it....so baisicly they zap the cells.....all matching comanies do that...(corally max-cellerated, orion v-max, reedy zappers...etc).....i think even we can get a zaper....it would cost about 200$....but im sure not as effective as the factory ones!

Whereas the small companies just match them, but they don't zap them.
