Electric Vehicle Triathlon Proxy Event (EV Triathlon) -Official Thread

Scuderia_Turini · 15th-Feb-21, 12:58 PM

Hello PJ, great to have you on board.
I was hoping that the EV aspect would appeal to younger peeps!
If you need any advice, feel free to ask. Dismantling the body to do a repaint can be a bit tricky - the rear light lenses are glued in at the rear body mounting post and can be removed with a bit of gentle easing upwards (car on its roof!) until the glue lets go. Glazing unit is a bit of a puzzle but flexing the sides will help with the side windows releasing and then I found that pushing the glazing unit forwards and at an angle through the screen aperture allows it to be removed in a sort of zig-zag movement. (LOL that makes it sound much worse than it is).

Younger peeps? That counts me out. Bigsmile

Yo Ken dude!
I guess I really meant people with an open mind and find interest in new stuff.
Anyway, I think we established before that you are younger than I am.
If just one Canadian enters, that will elevate this to International Status Cool

I have a vision of a white and red I-Pace with a big maple leaf on the hood.

Leo. It make me laugh, brother. Bigsmile

You're as young as you act. That doesn't say much for me. Tease

Counting the years is mandatory. Maturity is totally optional. Rofl

I'm waiting to test shipping there and back with HO drag-race proxies. If all goes well. Other proxies might sound very tempting.

However. I don't think I'm going to set my track up outside in the snow like you guys are doing with your snow-plows. It's -10 degrees out there!

Hi,
cars arrived today. Body off, windows and lights out, ready for spraying. just a couple of quick questions, the twin pack cars with dark windows have no drivers, do I need to fit a driver?. can we trim the body to gain a little body rock?. Many thanks

Hello PJ,
No need to fit a driver. Body and Chassis must not be modified, but you can leave the screws slack.

In the regulations I said I would provide pictures of the 3 courses involved so the Sprint Track is below. This is Carrera Exclusiv system track configured with just one crossover section so that it forms one lane. Overall running length is approximately 26 metres.

A summary queries raised so far:-

Does a driver have to be fitted to the black window cars? No
Can the chassis edges be cut back to allow body-rock? The body and chassis must not be altered from standard, but the screws can be left slack.
Who is the Judge? Leo Capaldi
How will the overall winner be decided? The times from the three disciplines will be aggregated and the car with the lowest total will be the overall winner.
