He looked exactly like this as he prized those wet tyres from the other racer!!!!!!!!
I think he's kind of a cross between both Dastardly and Mutley!!!

Hopefully the next IFMAR 1/10th scale worlds for nitro TC in 2006 will be held somewhere close... Down under perhaps?

Hopefully by then, Mark and Uncle Sow won't be too old.

If those old folks cannot wait or if they think that by 2006 they are too old to enter competition, they could register themselves for the 1/5TH lawnmower onroad WC in Lostallo, Switzerland. Date is scheduled for August 18-28, 2005.

But Onkel Sow can always escape winter when he steals time and come back to Malaysia.
Sunshine 24/7 throughout the year.

State titles are in January, but not at that track.
Actually I am coming over to NZ next month.
Where do you run? I might pop in.

You could try... I thought Pyramid mentioned before that the higher rear RC worked better in terms of rear traction.

This is interesting but how is this possible that a higher rear RC will give better rear traction

Oh dear, where have you been my firend. Need to borrow the ring?
I've been saying this to NiMo for a while too and you can see it in his engine's performance. Not sure about Mark's because he has the old fangs. I better check mine this weekend, the guy at the Border promised that its got the new fangs.

That's what I normally do but I find that if I'm following a couple of the faster guys, that's where I lose ground.

You need to get your video camera on this one, Sow - disguise yourself as a tree and plant yourself at the mid point of the chicane (on the grass of course)
then you'll be able to watch/video how the big boys do it without anyone knowing

On the subject of the metal fence - I hit the thing myself after getting the chicane wrong
Useless glass car went crashing into it and didn't even sustain any damage
Even Sow couldn't brake my rear shock tower!!!!!

I believe if you dig deep enough on this threat, Lord D find the same thing
The highest rear tracktion was achieved by the following combination (sorry, I do not remember those UBO, LT thing) but here it is: lower arms on highest slots, upper arms on 9 o'clock (you would need to cut/shorten upper arms by 2mm to use 4deg camber). When you raised the whole rear arms assy UP, the rear weight is now more on tires rather than center of the car (since the lower arms is now much higher than the chassis). How does it perform? car will be very very nervous on sweeper as the front does not have enough traction to make the rear to follow (xtra stick to the ground) BUT I think the new servo saver will favor..
BTW, those r just my imagination explanation, I'm sure last time Lord D ask the same question to "official guys"
