I actually think this circuit is going to be fun being run CCW . Getting the line correct through turns 3/4/5/6 will be tricky but getting it right will mean a higher entry speed into the main straight and made or break your lap time.
Cheers, Jim Auto x and this scale have almost althing in common because vantage points are different. I can understand flow is different but when u cant get it and ur smacking boards hard to the point a body can break or something else is not fun. That's why I will be sitting out this month. |

in all the years I have done rc racing I can count how many times I have ran a track layout ccw.

I see your point about breaking stuff I hate it. Also see his point about it not being about flow, but slight differences. Breaking points, turn in, and pick up points are different. I always start slow to get the feel of a track going ccw, but eventually you will pick up the nuances of that direction. The same as cw, I can't just jump on a cw track and go balls out. I can, but something is going to break. Still it's your choice. I am not a gamer anymore gave the xboxes and ps to my son's, even though I will go back every now and then and race my old nascar game.

Set up my rcp track in the same configuration to see what my lap times would be. I know it doesn't equate to the mini96 track as it being about 11/2 the length and width, but just wondering what I could do. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...e7febe9753.jpg

Bad news! Last night while running some laps, I felt/heard a snap and then some components falling and clanking around in my EX-10 Eurus radio. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the trigger had no resistance, it just swung freely, and when I opened up the radio, I saw that the small plastic pin that the arm that puts tension on the trigger had broken off! Ugh! Hope KO Propo has a replacement part in stock!

I’m sure there is, but I’m no MacGyver! I’d love to have a stainless steal bolt turned down to the right diameter of the pin that broke off, with threads at the bottom to bolt through the plastic plate that the pin was part of, but I don’t know any machinists. Contacted KO for help. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...284d198ea.jpeg |

To keep the pin captive a little thread wound around the pin and some CA should do the trick. If you are not up to the repair yourself it does look like that piece if replaceable if need be. Hope you get it up and running quickly. Cheers, Jim |
Waiting to hear back from KO Propo. Would rather have a metal pin for the arm to pivot on, but don't have the confidence/skill to try a fix. Given the amount of pressure on the trigger and the quick back and forth action it experiences, I'm surprised this plastic pin didn't snap a long time ago! If KO sends me a new plastic plate with pin attached, but may try to repair this one with a metal pin.
