Thumbs up EXIGE AND 60D TYRE STUFFING

This post deals with only those that run the Exige BL system in their Mini.
Well I had problems for the last couple of weeks with the Exige system in the MIni. The problem was that the speedie would loose signal from the radio and go into shutdown mode. This caused the car to stop and the only way to get it to rebind was to turn it off, disconnect the battery and then reconnect and turn on.

If you don't disconnect the battery and only turn it off the speedie will only run at about three quarters throttle for the complete race.

Problem was the connection inside the RX. Pulled the connector out, cleaned RX and then reconnected. Will have to rebind the speedie to the radio and then problem solved.

For double stuffing of 60D tyres, a sorex insert 24mm either A firm, C firm etc with the foam works well on the front. Just take your time when stuffing into the tyre and check the tyre is sitting on the rim properly prior to glueing.

This is good for asphalt and painted boral concete surface's.

You do not need to cut down the insert and the insert sits closest to the tyre carcass.

Hope this post helps someone.

Later
