Novice "Own Car" class suggestion

[RameshB]

Hi guys Gabe would be a regular with us so i will be setting up one of these for him, i would really like the others to come along for this new class. always keep on encouraging.them along bye Ram

That's great Ram. I'm sure that once we get a few of the new guys on board, more will come.

I guess its a bit disappointing GG but suppose in leaving room for this sort of discontent, makes room for other projects going forward.

Hopefully with this sort of feedback here - something may still happen setting up Novice 132 cars

BTW - Ramesh filling in that he is setting up one of these cars ...

Means he is the first person to be recognized for a Piranha 21K rpm motor from FRC and the Scalextric DPR plug-in chip I am sponsoring - correct is right

Hi guys i would still like your kind offer to go to first timers, my comment was to let you know if new cars are coming out , we will be there also, and allow all assistance to go to all first timers. bye Ram

Hello Ramesh and others,

Even though you (Ram) will be setting up one of these cars and mentioning all assistance go to any first timer - its regretful with time gone that no "new beginner" cars was even tested with any of these suggested racing components.

Here's a light reminder and sorry I somewhat have to mention:

• The sponsored Scalextric C8515 plug-in DPR Chip - EXPIRED @ 12:00 mid-night on Wednesday 30th. September 2015 ...

... but on the lighter side of things, this same C8215 plug-in DPR Chip will be put to use in this way with one of my personal 132 cars - for testing at FRC (Thursday 1st. October 2015) this evening.


Beginners "novice" Car: Scalextric C2810 high-impact "yellow" Lamborghini Gallardo.

• • Digital Chip: Scalextric C8515 DPR.
  • Motor: Slot.It 21.5K rpm. Note: *No Piranha 21.5K rpm motor available - yet.
  • Gearing: Standard Plastic 36T spur and 11T brass pinion.
  • Magnets: Car mustn't magnetically adhere to std. Scalextric track piece in an USD position and stacking allowed.
  • Wheels: Front - standard / Rear - standard.
  • Axles: Front - standard / Rear - standard.
  • Tyres: Front - standard / Rear - standard: Rubber and/or the Maxxtrac M02X Silicones.
  • Guide Flag: Standard.

This is all being done to encourage ... which I'm sure you (and others) will endorse

Testing done Thursday 1st. October 2015 ... with the first Beginners "setup" Lambo Gallardo car for a possible FRC Novice Class.

Best Lap Times done by yours truly (Luke T.), Jon & Gordon were 6.5, 6.4 and 6.2 seconds respectively - but was also (tested again) lowered by Steve later on with a 6.0 seconds.

In retrospect the lap times done with this 132 car/set-up configuration for newbie drivers - is a driven one.

The only upset one could have with this type setup car - is the USD rule ... because one has to drive to win and not just X2B racing.
