Congrats! Were they all rampages racing or were some other 4wd's in the mix?

 

[AlvaSpeed]

That is a nice track.


I have seen videos of racing there.


Change to HPI wheels and higher performance tires and you`ll be fine.

 

[kryptonite]

congrats mooky. givin them kids an education, rampage style.. i put a ring of athletic tape around the sidewalls(inside) so they don't split. ive been able to run the last 4 tires bald with no failure.. also keeps the sidewalls stiff for better cornering.. like we really need that.LOL.. cant wait to see more pics

i like the ramp tires better. they are lighter and taller for less chassis drag. the spilt sidewalls is an easy fix

What kind of surface is that on the track?

What kind of surface is that on the track?

i was wondering the same thing.. it looks pretty good. no ruts and "washed out" areas and seems to have good bite.. is that astro turf? it also kinda looks wet. if its astro turf, i bet it helps keep the rigs clean. makes it easer to wrench on after each heat.

 

[DemonRC]

wow, congratz man

 

[mooky]

yes it is astro , the wet look is actually the fine sand in the turf.


we built it over winter and this is our first year in the national circuit

 

[mooky]

soon i will be doing a twin servo mod so i can run 2x ds 1015 on the steering


here is how it runs, it was a 2 car semi not a final as listed ( all the mcds broke down lol)


i ended up with 2 borrowed hpi wheels on the front !!!

and yes the last shot is me after i snapped off both front hubs and knuckles

 

[AlvaSpeed]

Congratz.


Whata gearing are you using on that track?

 

[mooky]

standard straight outta the box


it seems to give me just enough grunt without going break neck every time i hit the straight.

 

[mooky]
