fast?
Howzit Brad.
In modified I think you have to have batteries with some good runtime and proper gearing then you should be there. The rest is point and shoot on our track. Mods on our track is like racing a rear wheel drive car where you can't just grab a handful of throttle out the corners. Instead you must wait for your car to be straight and the suspension not loaded to the one side before getting on the power. These brushless motors make awesome power and there is always enough power on tap. Obviously you will be nowhere if you don't have tyres on that work. If you are using foams, 35 all round should do it.

Re: Rays Rc Tips
Brad, Brad, Brad. It's not the bats that do it, if we could all be as consistant as Ray is lap after lap after lap, he would be fighting to stay in front. I use the same bats and motors that he does, but am nowhere near in the same legue with consistancy, that's why he laps me every race in superstock. But his comment to me always is after the race, your car's nicely on the pace. Which tells me that I have the speed, it's the ability to utilise it that counts.
Go read the topic I posted in "improve your lap times". Believe you me, it works. I have been trying to stay as consistant as possible every race, and I have started dipping into the 19sec laps regularly in superstock, but keeping it together the whole race is key. My times have improved quite a bit since I've concentrated on keeping it smooth lap after lap, Ray & Christo & Barend & Thinus for that matter used to lap me 2 or 3 times, now it's only once in a race, so I've improved by two laps by keeping the lines. Also don't try and have a meaningless dice with someone who is trying to lap you, it just frazzle's the nerves and you make costly mistakes. I try and have a clean race and try and stay away from other guys who are going to upset my rythym. All this has got me almost on par with Thinus now that me and him have a good battle on track from time to time. Also watch that first corner, hold back a bit until the guys have ploughed each other out of the way and take the gap through them, this also helps getting out in front and having a cleaner race.
Anyway, enough of my preaching, use it don't use it.
But remember, it helped me.

Re: Rays Rc Tips
Some nice tips there ray.
Brad, Brad, Brad. There is still a weight limitation you have to stick to no matter how jazzed up you make your car. You might have to borrow some of those lead weights from Ray come Sunday.

Re: Rays Rc Tips
The newly elected chief scrutineer at Diaz will strip that car after every race, I'll make sure of that.
