Re: Ball Bearings - Axle thoughts

There seems to be a pretty consistent theme here! For sure, BB result in better gear mesh and durability in the higher power/speed cars on King Tracks. However, nobody seems to be having any problem with oilites (or bushings) in their Retro. That makes sense, since we run lower power motors and use ...

Re: Ball Bearings - Axle thoughts

Stu, I think you might be right. It ain't broke, and there may indeed be no need to fix it.

Re: Ball Bearings - Axle thoughts

I think it's a good idea. BB are easier to set up, and much longer lasting. I really don't understand why we've persisted with bushings for such a long time.

Big Thumbs Up.

Re: Entry Level Wing Cars

Would it also help to restrict gear ratios to 9:43 or equivalent? They should still be fast enough, but the motors will last longer. Good idea, though. I have said it before: Wing 12 is not a beginner class. It is a very difficult and challenging class indeed, and something more accessible is most ...

Re: 2014 RETRO NATS @ KING WILLYS

What Bruce didn't tell you is that he was leading with one bracket to go! Geoff and I caught and passed him early in the final bracket, and although I was catching Geoff in the final seconds it simply wasn't enough. As for Andy St. Ringer, he must have had one of the worst days imaginable. I ...

Re: Race in Rocky

In that case I'm going to put hollow rails in my G12, fill them with hydrogen, and then race them in NSW. What a cunning plan!!! :P :P On a more serious note, those are some world-class results you guys are running on that crazy track. Kudos! Anyway, back to Rocky... Who is doing the winning today?
