Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010?

Right, so the excitement of Automodex is over and its time to start planning the next trip to Al Ain.

I know we had a lot of breakages at Automodex and the guys are needing to order spares online etc.....so i would suggest we aim for the 9th April, that should give everyone enough time to get their cars ready.

Let me know if you guys are happy with the date, if not please suggest alternatives! hurray

Mini - Sport Tuned

Touring Car - 25T Brushed or 13.5T BL
GT Mayhem - 19T Brushed or 9T BL

Ummm........just couple of points.
you say 13.5T BL, so does that mean the Yeah racing 13T combo I just brought with my F109 is OK?
GT Mayhem......... if we already have one regulated class for touring, why do we need another one? Just let people run what they want. If they smash their kit to bits with a 9000kv Mamba then great, I'd love to see it laughing

Otherwise I looking forward to making it this trip. The missus will be out of town.

Oh and yeah, I'm happy to buy a transponder, new or used.

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Wed Mar 31, 2010 3:02 am by **tractorboy**

put me down for a transponder too

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Wed Mar 31, 2010 7:02 am by **cathurga**

gerg, yep the 13T HW is spot on for touring. One class is good for me, but some folks want to run the nutter class.
Would be better if we all ran the same though.
mister-e, nitro welcome at all times :-)

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Wed Mar 31, 2010 1:40 pm by **gerg**

Andy, not sure you understood.
I'm agreeing two classes for touring cars is good, the motor limits for the regulated touring class are fine, but I'm one of those 'nutters' who want's to run in the Mayham class and I would like to see the GT Mayhem class as just an open class.
I had a lot of fun at the automodex in GT mayhem and want to have another go in Al Ain, but I don't see why we would need to introduce motor limit at this time.
I say leave it open and let the class develop naturally, we can introduce limit later if people want to. Anyone else who want's to run this class should also have a say..........anyone?

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Wed Mar 31, 2010 1:56 pm by **LaNcE**

Yeah.. let's just leave the GT Mayhem open from most restrictions: motor + gearing..
Let's just limit them on the batts: 2S Li-po (hardcase a must) or 6-cell Ni-Mh/Ni-Cd..

GT Stock's are 0K..

So, How about that bulk purchase of GT Tuned motors? smile

I agree here! as for the GT Tuned or Sports Tuned Motors, I think we can still use it in Area 2 or simply use it in the mini class. If you dont have mini, order from JJ so it will not be put to waste. hihihihi thumbs_up

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Thu Apr 01, 2010 5:51 am by **cathurga**

Ok, sounds good to me Greg et al.

So....we will have

Touring Cars - 25T or 13T BL
GT Mayhem - Open class.
F1 - Silvercan
Mini - ST
Nitro

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Thu Apr 01, 2010 12:49 pm by **paul**

Sounds good to me! thumbs_up

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Thu Apr 01, 2010 1:35 pm by **mister-e**

OK guys,

How about the group buy on the GT Tuned 25T rebuildable motor.
Any news on that?

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Thu Apr 01, 2010 8:04 pm by **Bandit**

hmmm can you allow some other guys to experiment on their gearings? lets say with the FDR of 3.5 up?

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Thu Apr 01, 2010 8:23 pm by **Samaj**

The Tamiya Black can GT (or ST , not sure) motor falls under which catagory?

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Thu Apr 01, 2010 8:58 pm by **paul**

Sam, Black can is ST - falls under touring cars

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Thu Apr 01, 2010 9:14 pm by **Samaj**

So the ST black can is 25T...?

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Thu Apr 01, 2010 10:21 pm by **cathurga**

Sam, no the Sport Tuned Motor, Or Black Can is actually a 27T motor as of now.

The GT Tuned Motor is 25T. Appearance wise, the GT is silver in colour with blue decals, it is noticeably different than a Sport Tuned or silvercan in that the brushes can be replaced. It is user serviceable.

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Thu Apr 01, 2010 10:25 pm by **cathurga**

Bandit, with the GT Mathem class you can have any FDR you want.....

With the touring car class, we will at some point impose a limit..the GT tuned Motors are pretty torquey, so you might get as high as 5.0 FDR, but with Dubai heat, it wont be long before you thermal it out...

I really want to have ONE class that produces CLOSE racing, and is fairly affordable....The Touring Class will be that one...

With Mayhem,,,,,do whatever you want... hurray

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Fri Apr 02, 2010 6:34 pm by **Bandit**

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Sun Apr 04, 2010 1:36 pm by **jebjeb**

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Sun Apr 04, 2010 3:45 pm by **paul**

i'd say lets meet 6:30am so we can be in al ain by 8am very happy

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Sun Apr 04, 2010 4:03 pm by **Samaj**

Ya an early start at 6.30 sound good.

Re: Next Al Ain trip 9 April 2010? Sun Apr 04, 2010 5:24 pm by **mister-e**

Happy Easter to all of you thankyou

For the upcoming trip, please count me in for:
- Nitro
- GT xxx (ST motor or open class, I don't have 25T).
Since 13T brushless equals to 23T brushed, is 23T brushed allowed?
- Mini with ST motor => Yes, manage to use a M03 for the weekend dance

The track has waaaay too little traction for the rwd. wacko

Got the car going straight all right.
May be it's driveable after some tuning, but don't have the time to test.
Man, its a long trip to Al Ain. When at the track, just want to driving
