Hatcam video of Spec R S1

This video was filmed from the drivers stand using a hatcam during our usual Thursday night club night at Stockport Model car Club. While watching this video back, I found that for part of the course I watch the car by eye movement and not by fully rotating my head, hence the bottom right hand corner of the track not being in the video !!  We have a small, tight technical track with a low grip carpet.

The car has a Speed Passion Reventon R speed controller, and a Speed Passion 17.5 turn motor.  The car has the aluminium steering rack and servo mount from Spec R, Xray Springs on Tamiya TRF shocks, and Tamiya ballcups. The tyres are well worn Schumacher Shimizu Wet tyres, and the body shell a Protoform 200mm Dodge Stratus 3.1 in my favourite pink and white "Marlboro" style livery.

This was an intermediate level heat, although there were a couple of slower cars in the heat, which makes fast laps quite difficult to achieve as on most laps there is a back marker to pass.

The car handling was excellent, although on the low grip carpet, and quite early in the evening before the grip had come up, I found rear end grip difficult early in the race.  This did improve as the heat and the evening progressed.  I'll post a set-up sheet soon.
