If you want to get bit more technical buy a durometer and start writing down results on times etc round the track with the various tires.

Difalco vs Ruddock

I have just switched to Difalco from Ruddock due to the fuse on the Ruddock Controllers. if the braid comes up the fuse usually shorts and it sometimes takes a while to work out why your car isnt moving. last time it happend I lost 20 laps.

Re: Wing Racing at Hornsby

Re: Hornsby spray gooo race rd 1

Hi Wayne, Thanks for putting up the results it was a night of good racing. The single mags were good motors and good opportunity to work on something different.

Sure you have to buy new magnets but in the long run it will be cheaper as there will be minimal damage and they are cheap anyway. Running singles should prevent armature da...
