Calandra cars

[Glenn Atterton]

Not to many in the UK I guess, either 1/12 or 1/10 but would a section in the "Cars" threads on this forum be helpful for those that have them and those that may want to own one to post tips, tricks & setups etc.

[PDW]

It sure would, and please start with Kev Creaser's set up from Teeside - he made the A!! Congrats to Kev, great effort!!

[Glenn Atterton]

;D Kev Creaser for moderator ;D

Does he visit the forum ?

Might even get Adam Walker-Catchpole to post his also. Q 7th in the B and finished 3rd on Sunday in his 2nd national meeting. Home track advantage ;D

Are you changing cars Pete ?

Whats up with the Trinity ?

[B_Final_Bob]

Adam ran pretty much kit setup apart from the blue center shock spring and maybe different oil.

I also had home track advantage with my car... my car also had the reliability of a chocolate fireman. Nothing to do with the driver as I proved!

Well done to kev his car looked good on the track all day ,Adam well deserved the finish he had on the sunday some will say home advantage personally I think it was down to the hard work the lad put in on the track and in maintaining the car(think jeff had a hand in that as well).

Liam
The car will only perform as well as the guy driving it if a car is well maintained and providing you don't stuff it into the track markers it will last the race,if the car is not maintained ie spur gear changed when damaged then you will have problems.

i had problems with the car all day saturday found the offending part on the car and replaced it on sunday to find an instant improvement as for the problems on sunday those were down to me not driving correctly,not the car get the car set up and looked after and drive the middle of the track and 8 min racing is more than acheivable.


A bad workman always blames his tools!!!!

Glenn
Kev only looks on the forum on odd occasions i think

[PDW]

Glenn,

No change here; delighted with my car and will be keeping it.

Griff almost always posts his Corally set-up after each National, and Matt R does the same for Trinity. I think it would be a great idea to do the same for the Calandra drivers out there, and you couldn't do better than Kev's (obviously good) set-up.

And anyway, it's an opportunity to congratulate a mate whose spent 20 years trying to make an A - we were all chuffed!!

[PDW]

Oh, I'll second the "Kev for Mod" nomination for the thread!! :)

[Mark Stiles]

What about having the same for associated? Okay, so there's already a page for associated cars, but all you ever see on there is touring car stuff. Perhaps paul ash or jim spencer could post their setups on here somewhere? ???

[gbevens]

Clives car was good on Saturday, 2nd in the B with a win in the second leg

[Big Jimmy G]

Got one for sale is anyone is interested...... Full working order, spares, futaba servo and speedo included....

I spoke to Kev Creaser at CARS last weekend, and he said he would be the Moderator for a Calandra Cars thread. Hooray!!

So, if Adam and Kev are willing to start with their set-ups, please PM the Admin and they will set the thread up. Will someone who knows what to do please PM the Mods, and then they can get going!!

[Glenn Atterton]

PM'd Rob Fitzgerald on 25th Jan after speaking to Kevin on Sunday gone by phone in the morning. Just waiting for reply.

to quote my pm,
thread for Calandra cars.

Any room for one more in the "Cars" section ?

see this thread,

http://www.rcracechat.com/forum/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=8067

I've spoken to Kevin Creaser (Sunday 25/01/04) who has raced the cars for eons.

He's willing to be a moderator for the Calandra section threads.

Would you email or phone him more detail of what's involved @ kevin.creaser@virgin.net or his phone numbers in the BRCA 1/12 section of the handbook.

regards,

Glenn

Looks like Rob hasn't been online since the 22nd so we may need to wait a little while or maybe get in touch with Mike Smith. I'll send Mike a link to this thread.

[marcoski]

LOL you are not going to get very far, because not once did you mention the word please.

[Rob Fitzgerald]

Well I didnt notice the lack of a please but hey ho ;)

I have been kind of busy guys - but if you take a look you will see we have a new sections in the 'cars' area

Enjoy

[Glenn Atterton]

He's right you know. I've seen it.

;D Thankyou ;D
;D Thankyou ;D
;D Thankyou ;D

;D Thankyou ;D

[PDW]

And we will - thank you Rob.

(Glenn, do you think we've done enough with the Qs bit of our P's-and-Q's to please Marcus LOL ;D)

Will you let Adam and Kev know so they can get their set-ups on there? Cheers!

Peter

[Glenn Atterton]

Will phone Kevin tonight with the good news.

Adam's pc's not running as well as his car did so it'll have to wait a while. I'll see him at the weekend possibly and get some info. For now I'm sure he ran the AE 1/10 pan car side damper spring on his shock.
