From here on out who ever drives Graham's car must face away from the track and use a mirror to track the cars movement.

Congratulations Graham, you have what appears to be a very driveable rocket.

Where do the the cars travel to next?

Out of curiosity - did you have time to swap out the motor and gearset for the new one i sent?

Thanks

Al

Sorry I just didn't have time to do any swaps etc., but perhaps David can as the cars are going to him next. I did resolder the original motor to the rear bracket as it came loose, but it is a temp fix only. The problem still seems to be the twin "idler" pinions and the amount of movement. I can't really see a solution to that particular problem.

Regards

Alan

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:2008 Round Three Midford Combe - 2008/08/24 08:10 Alan the problem is that the pinion which drives the contrate is mounted in a ballbearing and it has a tendancy to tilt under braking locking the drive train what it needs is the pinion shaft extending rear wards and a suport fitting to the end of the shaft to keep this shaft parrallel to the other shafts . If this is done then the gear train will stay smooth and he car will then perform better , Im sure David will be able to sort this but if this isnt clear let me know and I'll do a diagram of what needs doing .It looks complicated but its quite siple when you see how it works

Thanks for the race and the results and once again congratulations to Graham for his hat trick. It would be nice to see a different winner at some point in the series.
Graham's car averaged 96.4% of it's qualifying speed throughout the race and mine only 83.4%...... must build a decent car next year.

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:2008 Round Three Midford Combe - 2008/08/24 09:10 David I will be very surprised if my BRM has enough speed to keep up on the longer tracks .I ran the same motor/ gear set up in practice at wolves early birds in my lotus and it was around 1/2 a sec shy of being on the pace so unless every one else falls off then I would have to put money on bryan and charlie for the south end and wolves races , dont know about your track though can you give some details of what we have to expect
