Re: Tweak Station & Scale

Hey guys, reading and being a part of this thread has made me realize how important the setup should be.
:nod:


Where can i buy a scale to get my car to the proper weight. I have the hudy set-up board and am just learning how to use it correctly.:confused:
I use household scales from Philips - wonder why that is :lol: Get some digital ones - they are as accurate as you need.
When you use the Hudy a few times, you'll get the hang of it - check out the FAQ, as there is a mod to the rear prisms to allow easier access to the pivot balls.


i remmeber MIP made a tweak board to balance the car, but i remmeber that racers had problems with the tweak board. Is there another version or a better one.

thanks guys.

Don't bother getting a tweak station/board - they don't work - again see the FAQ where Julius showed us why they don't work. The only method that really works is the lifting method. But make sure you do it on a very flat surface (i.e. the Hudy board) that is perfectly even and level - I actually you the spirit level from my MIP tweak station for this :lol: it's the only part worth using :nod:

Hope this helps

MArk.

A-Mains: 200mm
Michael Wiseman had a hassle free run to claim 1st position with 94 laps in 30:14.332. Dave Wiseman was second with 87 laps in 30:01.805 despite a number of fuel cuts. Theo Christofi claimed a fine 3rd position with 87 laps in 30:09.457. The final overall results for this class were:


Wait...both mains are 30 minutes, but A-main drivers are 17 laps faster then the B-main drivers...? Wow...A-main drivers are that much better then the B's....? Or A-main is actually a 45 minutes or B's are actually 20 minutes...? Correct me if I am wrong...

How does the engine compare to the 2106 - is the torque and power much better?

Hey Mark,

The overall powerband is better, and BRazil was very demanding in the engine dept. Uphill straight, uphil and downhill fast sweeper....
Novamega was really fast:nod:

I really want to race but i don't have a motor yet. If i can get the novamega 2106 and have at least one practice race at T&T, then i will race. I sold my impulse, i wish i didn't.:mad:

What track do you race at in Arizona. My buddy is really get back into racing and plan to race all over at least once a month, maybe twice.
