We ageed that all cars could be braced when the issue was raised regarding the 997 class started having chassis fail and crack. There is a post here somewhere discussing it.
Generic regulations which apply to all classes
25. Rear axle/motor may be braced to reduced rear bounce.
Yeah I'm with you Nathan, the axle/motor brace is different to a "chassis" brace. I'm not gonna do it anyway, I had a fiddle with blu tack and I couldn't get it to fit anyway. I'll give it a test run and see how it goes as is, lookin forward to sat!
If we find something that help make the cars driveable then lets do it. As long as it does not cost the earth. ie aluminium wheels, etc . I actually thought the bracing only related to Ninco cars as they seem to need it the most We do need to clean up silly rules like , having all the screws in place. i mean we allow chassis trimming we should stipulate a minimum of 2 screws (per week) oh sorry i mean on each car. ( for 2010). I would like to also request early consideration of having club supplied hand controllers. We should have the money to make at least 4-5 . With the new track in ballarat we should not need to go to mobile raceways any more so we wont need 8. We can get some brake variable 35 OHMs made by MR. Also looking to have a social late in november who would be interested.??
I'll get to any social I can, and if anyone's up for one at my place (if you haven't driven WBV yet) I'll gladly open the door!
I like the minimum 2 screws idea.... what?... oh... sorry... I thought... never mind.
RE the controllers, I had a go of Davnic74's Professor Motor controller and I've asked Santa for one. What a difference it makes to the controllability!! (I mean, my poor driving!)
Who would maintain the club controllers Mark?
I agree that the number of home tracks (does Ged's count as a home track? It is his house too...) now means we don't need to go to MR anymore, but does this go against the "support your local hobby shop" idea?
Once again, we need to organise a day where we can all get together and nut these issues out face to face. It just takes too long in cyberspace.
Committee may need to list all issues and bring along a copy to the next meet?
