Harewood RC

    Wednesday, June 24, 2009, 09:29 AM [General]

    The club is growing well, and we are having some great electric racing.  We now have two off-road and two on-road classes and we are getting good consistent numbers.  The only bugger is the weather.  Racing this weekend, so get everything I can find crossed!

    I now have the B44 and the TA05 fully operational.  The Tekin ESC's are on another level.  With the Hotwire PC link, there is almost nothing even close to these things.  There are some sceptics down this part of the world, but they will learn :)

    I'm going to race Ruapuna at their next meet.  Woo hoo, a clean on-road track to try!  Don't get me wrong, I love Harewood, but it will be good to gear up the 13.5SS so she can stretch her legs.  I haven't had the motor warm enough to heat the nuts on a tic yet, so it will be interesting.

    Free Plug for XRC.  The website isn't always up to date, but Jun cannot be faulted for his customer support.  Great place to deal with, and there are few in NZ so keep some business going their way :)

    Hit the track

    I got out for my first race a week or so ago.  It was great fun. The poor AM radio got a bit of glitching, so that's next on the list for replacement.

    Electric off-road is pretty low-key at CMR, so it was good as I had NO idea which way was up.  The guys were awesome and made sure I was moving in the right direction  (well, when I was right side up)

    I threw the swing shaft in both heats I had, which was a bugger.  They are after-market items and a little short I think.  I added slightly longer spacers in the rear shocks so hopefully the adjustment to the drrop will stop it popping out again.

    Got my Reedy 20 Turn skimmed by one of the guys from the track too.  Going to get that baby in soon and tear up some tread :)

    I have come to the conclusion that racing is about 100 to 200 times better than bashing.  As long as you're not too serious about it.
