Hi Folks,
3rd and last day of testing
ALS Racing - Alfa Guilia GTV - put in a respectable time with the motor change from the Predator to the Scaleauto.
Groundhogs - Alfa Gran Turisimo - really good run, better than last time after the suspect motor changed
- Audi Quattro - some additional ballast in the front and loosed the back of the body helped this car to run smoother and faster.
SSRC - TR7 - front tyres just rubbing the front body wheel guards, donated some smaller front wheels/tyres to improve running. But not much faster afterall.
Ford Focus - strange ringing sound, probably axle through bearings, but did not seem to cause any running problems.
Manx Club Jaguars- Both running well, no issues there.
Teams Cube- Ferrari 308 - good, no issues
- TR7 - Seems to have the gremlins in this car, it hit a barrier and out popped the front body post again.
Decided to glue it in myself this time as we are running out of time to send it back. But ran it again afterwards and seemed OK
James@wyevalley - both cars running good, I am sure they are seasoned Rally cars anyway.
Roadrunners - Porsche 935- I tried very hard with this car, but whatever I did, the car seemed prone to taking a dive off the track. So finally I brought out the regular Rally Jaguar car I have run at Rally events before. It did have an old motor in so I swapped over the original for the SRC M3 I had in the Porsche (seemed a shame to waste it)
So we now have a 3 Jaguar race competition.
Finally took another look the slowest cars to see if I could at least improve their stability on the track.
Lifeboats Racing - Cortina- very difficult to stop it toppling over (even with the tonne of weight in it ) so I tried changing the distribution of the ballast and ended up replacing the guide as the original was very sloppy in the guide post hole. I think it is more stable although probably not any faster,
Makem- Austin Landcrab- I think perhaps the car will stay on the track better now, I added to ballast in the chassis behind the front axle, and also changed the guide which was too loose in the chassis guide holder, put a very thin spacer under the front and rear body posts just to raise the body up enough to stop some front and rear tyre rubbing on the body. So raceworthy now but probably won't worry the front runners
