Way cool! Maybe I should bring mine down for the Indoor Titles. Master Silva painted a new body for me. I wonder if they'd mind me running 6 cell NimH with a silver can?

No this is RWD pan car 1/12 foam tyres (if I had them) & I think it's a canam body type (not sure on that) mid to early eighties design.

Bit of a silly question here, but what type of track would ppl say Kambah is?

Smooth/rough/bumpy, tight/flowy, high/low traction???
When setting up rc's, the manuals alway dictate 'this setting for smooth, this for rough etc'

Im just not sure how Kambah compares to other tracks as its the only asphalt one ive been on. Am i setting the car up for what i think is a smooth track but for rc is actually really rough?

In the modern context, I would say its low traction, tight and bumpy but it does 'flow'.

low to medium, bumpy flowy.
morning HIgh front roll centre 2 dot on 'a', low rear 2 dot on 'b'. blue front springs silver rear
finals high front roll centres, medium/high rear 2 dot 'a'. silver springs all round.

make sure you reset your camber when you adjust th roll centres on the arms etc

if you also widen the front by approx 1.5mm this makes the car fly through the sweeper into the horse shoe.

damper weight should be 40wt front 35 rear

indoors is the same as the morning setup but low front roll centre 2 dot on 'b', springs are the same, though as the grip comes up go heaver all round by 1 gold front, blue rear.

Hi ACT club,

I'm going to be in Canberra on the 17th and 18th of this month (next week) for a conference and I want to come racing on the Tuesday night.

I tried entering via Alycat, but there is no way to enter 12th scale, and that's all I've got. Is there any way I can have a race? (I can run it as mod or Euro-stock)

I tried emailing the address on the website but the mail bounced. Some other information would help a little too. What time do you start, and is it building F you are in on Tuesday night?

Hi Daniel,

We don't run 12th on tuesdays, normally. The meeting on the 18th is the post titles meeting and will be the same track as the titles. Come down around 6.30pm and we'll find a class for you to race in.

I'll see if I can round up some 12th's for you to race against

Mark

BTW: Whats the message you get back when you E-mail [email protected]?

Thanks Mark.

My club currently races 10.5 non-boosted 12th for club meets. If you guys want to try something different that's an option, otherwise I'll just set the car up for full Mod. Let me know.

It was [email protected] the message said the mailbox quota was exceeded.

Just double check: Tuesday the 17th is the meeting right? I could do the 18th as well, but want to know in advance.
