Lap Timing System

Ill try to make a mounting plate for the M05s, got the idea how it works, It should be higher above the steering link so theres no obstruction. I'l get it done for the M05 guys so we can have a good run next meet.

nice run last weekend andy, with regards to the location of bridge dont you think its much better if we could place it on the start of the grid so hot lap starts at once and not after one lap. you just have to park on the other side and its a much slower part of the track compared to its location the last time.

yeppeeee gues others should upgrade to M05 soon

no pictures on the race?

@sir andy what brand of transponder you bought? you have the link?

@Jay, yeah, I think about 1/3 of the way down the main straight would be ok....maybe a little less. The speeds get quite high there too, but with 5 in a race, we could hve a small grid before the gate....will have a look next time.

@vinesh.....why would we do that? Th M03's have no mounting problems...and they are MUCH MUCH quicker.LOL

@Bandit, check through this thread, think I put it up here somewhere.....rclapcounter.com or something...

you guys are addict! hahahaha! what M chassis would you prefer for a newbie like me planning to join you guys soon! hihihihi!

hmmmmmmm chirstmas present for me first lol

Ahmed put in some good laps with his M05, I'm going to have to put the bearings into my M03 to keep up with him next meet. lol
I've also ordered some shocks and tyres....... competition is getting tougher, I wonder if my mods will help!

Andy,
Did you manage to get the lap times off the PC? Does it save them?
Would be interesting to see........

Ahmad, are you talking about replacing the Abu Dhabi spec (Blacked out windows) Datsun 240z with Swift shell now.....hahaha

It was painted on with zero chance of removal.....in true Abu Dhabi style! hahahaha

Sorry Ahmad, we have to mock the windows cause we cant mock your driving this week!

On a trip to Oman a few years ago I was very amused to see as we crossed the border some Abu Dhabi plated 4x4, with the owners trying (not very successfully) to remove the tinting from their windscreen / front side windows.

Omani border officers were not letting them through with their 'black' tints.

@ahmed, nice race... :cheers:

loool

you guys always seem to find a way!!!!!!

guess i'll just keep coming back with winning over and over ahhaahahahaha i'll just get a new datsun shell and make sure the widows are clear

@nitram - thanks man, hope to have the honor of running with you next race

I will get the lap times off the PC...somehow....but I recall seeing the differences between the two of you were marginal to say the least.

What I did notice however, that there was cutting of corners all the way through....on the simpler software, I found two VERY useful buttons. The one says

+1 (add one second penalty to a specific driver)

the other says

+5 (add 5 sec penalty to a specific driver)

First we need to get a marshalling system going (those who are not racing) and then a event judge to start hitting the aforementioned buttons....

That should see things levelling out ...HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA

BTW everyone...if it was Abu Dhabi spec, it would have huge, over-inflated 'shaheen' radials and a set of flashing headlights...hehehehehe


Ahmed, you owe your laptimes to the bodykit you were using....LOL

Jebjeb,

If you are looking for a second hand mini, I might have one for you. A guy who came down with us ONCE, has never got the inclination to come back....!! poor him.

He has indicated that he may not use it....It is used, but in decent condition...not sure if it is fitted out with a radio, but will check....

hey andy i have a question

im using a 3000KV SP BL motor i want to use it to my entry to GT do you think how many pecent i have to set my remote to make legal to a silvercan class GT

I have the hobbywing version of the same motor in my mini, and have the throttle EPA set at 60%.....and is probably a little quicker than stock silvercan at the moment...so I reckon 55% would be about right....but that depends on how you gear it. If everyone is running 25T pinion,55T spur on a silvercan, and you run a 19T on a 58T pinion, it might even out the top speed.
It would be preferable to use gearing to even them out rather than EPA. BL motors dont like to labour....they prefer being at about 90% efficiency. This is what I am told....it is not gospel though...

thanks for the info

im using 28T pinion & 106T spur do you think 65 will be nough?

no fare! use silvercan jon! hahahaha1 saw your x-ray run last week and its darn fast! my o3f cant catch up! grrrrr!!!

+1 use silvercan Jon! how i wish i am there to race with you guys!

I think Jon should supply us all with BL systems so it is completely fair. :cheers:

your BL jon is i think equivalent to a sport tuned black motor. so it's 23T hahahaha your competing with 27T motor. hahahahaha! set your EPA to 40% ill race with you! hahahahha

A BL will always be a BL, even if you set your EPA to a minimum, why not buy a silvercan so it will be fair to evryone, Jon, can your BL esc works on a brushed motor as well? if it does then you could use a silvercan for it.
