Bubba you have a few track to choose from:

- Baywater on moojebing Street on Sunday morning

I could walk there! :P I know they used to do nitro onroad a while ago but got shut down or something.. didn't know there was drifting there :blink:

Is it competetive or are n00bs tolerated? it's not on PVC/ABS is it? I built this rig to torch rubber

Sorry Bubba, no drift just pure "proper" racing. I am not a drifter by no means, but any of the racers at a competitive level give em a set of slicks/pvc and about 2 laps to warm up and they are as good as anyone.

Have had a bash before with some drift tyres and picked it up pretty easy...... then went back to racing :-) i didnt feel the same adrenaline as the speeds that are achieved in racing.

just an fyi, you were right, bayswater used to run nitro on the cement and electric on the clay track next to it. Local residents went to bayswater council regarding the noise of the nitro and therefor where not not allowed to race, so electric has now come along and the lap times they are getting is unbeleivable.

At the recent nationals 104km/h was clocked down that 35 metre straight. unbeleivable!

Brushless mod. Guy called Toby was driving it, he didn't place to well though overall but was definitely one of the fastest down the straight.

Lrp modified brushless I think it was

Would have been an X-ray I'm sure, most of the top racers here in wa run the X-rays with parts readily available

Turn related more to brushed motors, now with brushless turns are rated a little different, 3.5 brushless Lrp if memory serves me correct what you would be after but in no way should it be put in a tt01.

Google feral batteries, have good prices on the motors and li-pos you would need to get to that speed. You would also need an electronic speed controller esc for short to power it

FYI, motor would have been something along the lines of this:

ESC would have been something along the lines of this:

http://www.teamtekin.com/r1.html

the tekin ESC really seems to be the most popular one at the moment.

Prob looking at about $400 plus you will need a decent lipo battery ($100) so $500. most importantly though, can you control it?

You will need to ensure all your trimming etc is good, plus make sure you have a spectrum module radio to go with it, you dont want to be going flat tack to have your radio clash with another frequency otherwise BYE BYE car.

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
