Re: Re: Re: Weight?
Originally posted by jfc_tech wow kevinS, thats really cool...1697grms....but just a friendly question...is that for racing ready kit? becoz...at least at my place...u need to be 1700, 1750grms or even 1800 grams to compete legally.:nod: i do want to install the 3Racing Ti middle 2pseed shaft.:blush: thats next project...im gonna get it down to around 1720grms. As for the 3racing 2-speed shaft, it should take 11~12g off your car. Another 3~4g for the middle shaft. |
Camber question.
For the setup wizards :D
From the setup book, it is recommended that front camber be setup to achieve equal tyre wear across the front tyres' widths. But for the rear, a slight conical effect should be achieved. I didn't really understand this with regards to the rears - my thoughts were: if the rears become conical, then surely this changes the effective camber, assuming the tyres were of equal diameter across their width before driving, i.e. if the conical effect equals 2 Degrees across the tyre width and the camber was set to 2 Degrees, then the camber has now been nullified. Does this not mean that the tyres wear and find their true camber value? Hopefully I've made myself clear in what I've said above. Cheers, Mark. |

Originally posted by Sow&Steady Mark, how many tanks did you manage to do? Good driving btw ... no dents whatsoever on the body! I think I did about 5 tanks + my run in tanks. I was at the track for six hours, but I like to really make sure everything is perfect for each run, so I do a lot of setup work, too :nod: and therefore maybe two tanks in 1,5 hours. Been meaning to ask you: where does your name come from? In Geman you can use Sow to mean very/really - so your name would effectively be Really Steady :nod: Cheers, Mark. |
Originally posted by markp27 Hmm, the driving wasn't so good, but I managed to keep it away from the hard stuff, except for one occasion when the rain caught me out - cost me a wheel :cry: but no other damage :nod: I think I did about 5 tanks + my run in tanks.

Thanks for telling me that in German "Sow" means "really" because my wife has been giving me a hard time ... she says "Sow" means "baby pig"!! :blush: Its official then ... I'm Really Steady!!! :nod: |
Re: Second time around
Originally posted by kreidel I decided to give the 710 another try to see if I could make it work for me. Unfortuntely the race was called tonight due to rain so I have to wait another week and see what happens. I bought this one used but had to go through it completely due to the original owner doing such a piss poor job building it the first time. He did not even line the shock caps up to fit right with the nub....that might explain what I had to work with. Luckily I had some knowledge from the first one so I was able to get it into shape fairly painlessly. http://www.tce123.com/kreidel/serpent710.jpg |
