IROCC/NRC Speed Weekend 2011 - Carpet Edition - discusion thread

[Tom]

I'd rather see 7' lanes.  Still reasonable for 1/12 scale, and tight but do-able for 1/10.  We can get 5 lanes across the 3 rolls of carpet with 7' lanes (not that laying it out that way makes sense).

Good day!

This is going to be a lot of fun, looking forword to it! I have a question on the touring stock class, are we allowed to use motor timing?

Thanks Neil.

Hi Neil,


Yes, you are allowed to use physical endbell timing.  Also, note that you will have to set your Tekin RS to the "Spec" profile (blinks LEDs 3 and 5 when in neutral) to be legal for this class.  This signifies that your ESC has zero timing advance setup.  This is the standard rule nowadays for 17.5 Touring Rubber.

Of course, you may also use an older brushless speed controller that does not have adjustable timing control.  An example of this is the Novak GTB.

Here is the complete list of accepted ESCs for this class:

Hi Gerry,

For budgetary reasons, we might not have shirts for this event.  Unfortunately we are going to be faced with significantly higher costs for this race when compared with the Summer race.

Anyone have spec tires for WGT and if so how much also how critical is the body I guess I would need one of those as well.

[gotnitro]

Don check with craig I believe crc makes a spec tire so we could get it in his order.maybe.

[Shawn68z]

Are the Jaco Blue's going to be available at the race?  And at what cost?

Don, check with Daryl or Craig.  IROCC bought ten sets of WGT tires last month, but some were used by our guys at the Big Chill.  I believe there are still five or six sets available.  Obviously Craig can get more on his next order from CRC if needed.

Don, I have a bran new WGT Corvette Body unpainted in the package. It's the same body Craig has been running on his WGT car if you are interested.

Hi Shawn,

Yes, the Jaco Blues will be available at the race.  Of course they are pre-mounted and ready to rock.  The cost is $30 in your hands.  And the brilliant thing about these tires on carpet is there is no need for multiple sets.  I ran ONE set at the Big Chill in Touring Modified, and the traction was just as good after run 8 as it was on run 1 and 2.

Haha, I don't think so Jarrod but you'd have to check with Matt M to be sure.  He will be our resident 18R Tech Guy.

When I was there a few weeks back there were SC trucks racing with the cars. I think you have to swap out the tires but ask matt for sure.
