Before you tell me to go and fudge myself(again LOL) let me remind you that despite the fact that you have been driving for 10 years, you fail to tell people that you have yet to win a race and in fact you qualified last at this years state titles.
Im not sure how others interpret this but it tells me that you either cant drive, or cant set up your cars, or simply cant build them, or the most probable reason a combination of all of the above. So why would people here listen to what you have to say.
Think about it before you start sending me messages again telling me that you are dissapointed in me.
Thomas don't get me wrong I like you as a friend but lets face it you are not much of a racer. I wont tell you to go away, i like reading your creative literature, but you just need to relax a little, these are toy cars were are talking about here. You can punch me in the arm next time you see me NHF OK.
You forget to mention that i have not raced for two years with the only recent events run in Oct 2011 and then April 2012. At the states i only had a few days to get back into the swing of things. Also i came last because i didn't finish the quarters as i put on harder tyres, the car was totally different and for some reason the engine went completly lean from one run to the next.
POSTNOTE: approx 4 years ago, when i actually took my racing seriously, i was passing you like you were standing still, i was making the A finals in clubbies and asking you to move over. This was also back before you "retired". Of course you won't remember this...i don't bother to mention it because it has nothing to do with my level of knowledge of setup or otherwise. Setup has nothing to do with someones driving ability. Setup is purely the act of understanding the physics and geometry of the car, whether we can then drive the car is a totally different element of the game...or have you failed to realise this? Not every F1 driver is good at setup and not all engineers are good at driving, and not all of us in this hobby are pro's at all the elements of this hobby.


alex, you show a lot of small man syndrome needing to constantly attack someone on the net. I'm not sure if it's small man syndrome, or washed up has been in a meaningless hobby syndrome. you have a constant need and desire to show yourself as being some sort of big shot in a silly hobby. Like you said, it is a hobby, so why are you so adamant in posting shyt on the net, yet when you see me you act all friendly.

your comments are completly passive aggressive. You come up to me and say hi at the track then bag me out on the net. If you have a problem with me say it to my face. Don't give me this bu77sh1t on the net. Your attitude is what is wrong with this hobby. This is a forum, to share opinions, thoughts experiences and other things. If you can't handle listening to opinions of others, then don't read them. it's that simple. Or maybe you lack the social skills to discuss with people on the net? i'm not sure. either way you have a very big chip on your shoulder.

you need to look at yourself alex. You are a grown man, with grown man responsibilities, name calling and arguing over the internet with someone because that other someone posted their thoughts. You bring up silly points like "ehh you finished last bleh bleh bleh" you sound like a 15 year old child alex!!

do you think your behaviour is rational, and normal alex? do you think your behaviour is depicting of a grown man with grown man responsibilities?


Unlike you, i can't always race. Unlike you, i haven't been breaking gears like crazy and blaming it on silly things, blaming it on Pietsch, your speed (are you quicker than Pietsch!? i don't see him busting gears due to his speed??) or whatever you do. Unlike you, i never bag you out on the net (until now). unlike you, i don't belittle people on the net then smile to their face in person. If i don't like someone i don't speak to them. when i speak to you it's because i respected you, well not any more after your silly immature behaviour on the net.

I'm not here to bag you out, but what do you expect me to do after you post some jekyl and hyde good/bad/nice/pr1ick type post like you did.

grow a spine alex. next time you see me, don't bother speaking to me.

hi Adrian, yeah i have these. i used them at the NSW states. they were quite a bit better than stock but still not the grippyness i was hoping for. If you find something that grips sooner PM me or post them here.

Hi guys.

I have followed your discussion about the brake issue you are facing.
Me personally, I do not need that much brake, so stock brake power is fully sufficient for me, but I have also seen that some people were suffering with to less brake for their driving style.
What I have seen sometimes is that the power of the servo is too less. I have seen issues with Savox 1251 and KO 2143. We have then changed the servo to a Futaba BLS451 or Sanwa SRG-BL and everything was fine.
So let me throw another argument in the arena. What about throttle servo? Does this affect brake power as much as a longer brake lever?
For example, I am running Sanwa SRG-BLS and everything is all fine (as I said I do not use that much brake).

Cheers

hihoo

it is a simple mechanical system: lever arm law. The longer the arm the more force can be transferred.
But the problem is, that because of the braking force the chassis will bend like a banana.
So you have to change the brake so, that you have enough braking force for your driving style with minimum of bending.

i logged in as i am waiting on someone to send me mailing details for things i am selling. I don't enjoy logging in and seeing your bullying attitude and attempts to belittle me.

Trust me, i've passed you many times. In your dillusional world, no one has ever passed, lapped, or beaten you, your engines are better modified than the professionals and you know everything about setup.

Maybe we should all be quiet and listen to you Pietsch, and the rest of the paid drivers, because in your dillusional world, you are up there with the best.

This is a hobby, we all have the right to use this forum, get used to it. If you don't agree with what others say, use your social skills (if you have any) and post a reply using the correct social ettiquette and netiquette.

TomB: champ it's not that you give out bad advice, in fact a reasonable amount of it makes sense, but you do come across as an absolute "expert" on RC car racing, which going by what others have said about your results is perhaps not the case...... Maybe those reading just need be aware they are not taking advice from a front running racer as it would seem. I don't know you personally so I can only go by your serial posting on this forum, but when you put up stuff like - Australian Racing>Airbrushing & Art>Page 273.....what are we to think?
