@@andrewhopper8700 thank you mate..... Yes I was a little chuffed 👍👍👍

ua-cam.com/video/1qT4zeFExTI/v-deo.html Have a watch of this and some other videos mate ,,,best advice i can offer is find your local club and have a wonder along see how the evening works chat with some of the racers about what they use and go with that as you will have plenty of knowledge and experience floating around track side and people will almost always help when asked ....Keep me posted the more the merrier mate

@ thanks I have found a track and went and got a second hand built one just sorting a body for it. As a matter of interest can you get normal wheels for these so I can practice outside of the track if I find a smooth car park ? Thanks enjoying your videos

@ianpullen5471 you kind of can but the need an adaptor I believe... I have never tried it so don't really know much about them.... That's mega mate I'll look for you trackside somewhere soon 👍👍👍

Thanks buddy ...yes the B7 feels like a step forward ...

Thank you mate....

No mate not a thing has been altered since i picked up the buggy still very much arrive and drive (With the exception of the new wheels)

absolutely

cheers pal its all good stuff ....Ha yeah absolutely brilliant (Until its broken obviously then they suck😂)

Yes mate! proper chuffed (not sure if that comes across in the video)😂😂💚

Thanks! 🙂

Cheers mate , we will address this on Sat.....Warp speed captain

Cheers as always mate ; as I said considering I'm just running this as i received it not a clue as to the diff oil or shock oils in the car and I'm reluctant at the moment to start breaking it down as its going as well as it does ....The end of the straight I can get a good run through and carry some much better speed assuming I get my turn in point just right ... yes although I obviously run each race with a full charged battery your right there does seem to be a little fade as the race goes on but honestly not enough to affect my overall position.... Have a top week buddy

@@BrensRCracing lol, hit the nail on the head for me. I bought a used B74.2, and a used B7 for my son to run. He's driving magnificently as the cars are right now, but ... I have no idea what oil is in them. Going to be a bit of a rough "patch" figuring that out in the future. Luckily the expert racer I bought the 4wd from uses a sharpy to write what weight he put in them, so I have that recorded (tip trick I guess lol). I need to mount new tires tonight for him, as the tires on both vehicles are going bald, they only last a few races for the front tires at the rate he drives, and I was hoping to use the old ones as hand me downs, but geeze they're gone lol. Luck and skill on your next race buddy, looking awesome out there in your B7 having fun!

@@fhuzpatch quick insider preview..... Bloody flying mate 😉

Thanks ✌️

@@keithsmith7503 Dude tell me about it.... Bloody ridiculous 🤣.... But it's part of our main governing bodies policy to ensure the venue is covered by the Insurance .... I agree though they should be taken off when your not marshaling.... Thanks for stopping by from over the pond mate it's appreciated have a good one 👍

@ oh the safety policies over there. Good luck driving!

Yep that's definitely the right description buddy😂😂😂

Been really lucky with a couple of gifted shells but missing my green and yellow although maybe it's the green and yellow that's making me slow 🤔🤣🤣

Nice mate.... Probably a busy and fun night it's a well organised and run night mate... Make sure you keep an eye on when you need to get up to do your qualifying and be ready 2/3 mins early as its a fast turnaround with so many racing but honestly if you get stuck just ask anyone for help everyone is very approachable and happy to assist... Other than that have fun...

@ brilliant! Thanks very much, looking forward to it. Quick question I’ve read I need to bring my own hi-viz for marshalling. Is that right?

@Strengthoftenmen yes mate a high viz and a pit towel.... To cover up the table of you pit area... Lipo charge bag is mandatory too.. Feels like a video is needed👍👍

@ ahh yes I need to grab a Lipo charge bag. Thanks for the reminder 👍

Cheers mate yes did that but I'm limited but the length of the battery wire (on the list of things to change) and I don't want to loose all the front end steering I have..... Always a compromise somewhere with these 👍👍👍 thanks for watching and commenting mate appreciate it buddy...

@@BrensRCracing you can gain back steering in other ways, but it looked a handful over jumps and it looked like you had the battery ALL the way forward. Try one or two holes back and see what it does.

@@markbruton-young9228 will do thanks ordering some cable to put a longer positive Lead from the esc 👍👍

Yeah definitely a step up.... Hope your well pal

@@BrensRCracing all good here mate, 👍🏼

@@BrensRCracing Sorry, forgot to ask, what camera do you use to record your footage?

@@theadventuresoflario I have a £80 no pro mate it's a sj cam thing and the stactic shots in the office I use my cheap honor phone nothing fancy pal... But I would really like the Dji action pro 5 eventually and a better stactic camera...

@@BrensRCracing 👍🏼... I'm currently using my Insta360 but I think I need to play around with the settings, plus I can't wear the thing on a cap mount otherwise it'd look like an "appendage" from the forehead 😂

Absolutely mate and thanks for the help as always #TeamSnafu for the mid table improvement 😂👍👍

@BrensRCracing no problem mucka always happy to help ,we all need it or needed it at some point in our racing

Honestly mate i could not tell you at the moment at the car is running as I bought it from another racer and have no information to shock or diff oil etc.....updates will follow over the coming weeks as I give the car a full service....Thanks for watching and commenting

@ Ok.Thanks👍

Thanks Buddy

@@Sabbath-666 soo.... There is no doubt that Mardave is the biggest player in the market but the "Joker" from "Bat Cave" is proving the most popular package from the majority of seasoned Racers.... The Kamtec offering is a reliable platform but the after service can be hit and miss at best.... The surprise package that I would really be interested in is the "TWR Racing" mini... Beautifully made and a really good quality platform... But honestly my advice hasn't changed in 3 years go to your local club and see what the majority of Racers are using then go with that as you will have a wealth of experience and expertise on hand to help you get going not to mention most Racers will happily give you spares to keep you racing if you should need a replacement.... Most of all have a laugh mate after all it's Toy car racing.... Thanks for watching the video it's appreciated 👍

@BrensRCracing thanks for your detailed response bud, much appreciated!

First stop would be end points as you have said mate but without seeing the car I'd really just be guessing get one of the Racers to have a look at your next club night alternatively pop some pictures on one of the Facebook groups covering minis I'm sure you'll get some answers 👍👍

Ahh you caught that mate i was getting all carried away with my little self ( Video editing Snafu) lol.....Ha "Shake n Bake " and "Rubbin's Racin' mate🤣🤣🤣🤣💚💚Yeah really looking forward to the B7's progress ...as always couldn't have made any of this progress with out the support from your good self and the rest of #TeamSnafu

@BrensRCracing am sure you would of made progress no matter what ,your a clever guy

Not so much biscuits more a willingness for polite and sustained humiliation over driving ability....🤣🤣💚💚Besides i feel your grandfathered in anyway...Have a good one buddy catch up soon...

Cheers Buddy Yes Its B7 time .....No there is a good mix i think at the last count there is 3 with TA B7's , 1 Yokomo, 3 Schumacher's and finally Bubbles has an all singing and dancing Xwray......So a really good mix as to why i choose this it came about in part becasue i started with the B6 and was curios to see how much better a B7 would be after what, around 10 years of development....and secondly they have a good reputation for being "robust" or at least more forgiving than the others and then the point that after some back and forth Mark said and i quote "I picked this up for ya second hand its a good deal and a straight car bring your wallet to mine " lol...Thanks for continuing to check in with the channel its apriciated ...have you any racing booked for yourself soon ??

@ nice to hear you all drive different chassis’s I think that’s healthy for the hobby. Got a couple of new classes to give a whirl in 2025. Touring car which I have a run for the first time last week, like being a total beginner again and I guess you’ll relate to the nerves around the first race at a new to you club 😅 Then I’ve picked up a rally car. We have a heat in Sheffield and it looks like a right laugh although some bloody good drivers so expecting to hold up the rear of the field robustly 😚 And of course 2/4WD buggies will also be out and about. More racing is the goal

@@chowettgoes the rally looks amazing the limiting factor will be how fast can I run 😂🏃

@ not that kind of Rally where you run after them 👎 We run a proper race heat, same track as the buggies including jumps, now thats fun Rally Racing from the drivers stand 😉

Cheers Fhuz as always , yeah no i in team so I've been educated 🤣

Thanks Gary very kind.. .... Absolutely agree mate the racing at MB can look a little intimidating at first glance my advice is to stick your head in at an event and just ask someone to talk you through the racing and how it works re when to get up and race / marshal etc you'll find 90% of people are really happy to talk you through things....... Myself I travel around 50mins for MB Raceway depending upon the traffic and Bury metro will be 30 mins as I'm up near saddleworth.... I'm in the same boat really mate for any outdoor meetings this year as I have never done one either and it's the basics like charging a battery that I need to organise do they plug in to a car battery? Is there on site power? Do I need to bring a loo?😂 You know the essential stuff.... Cheers for watching and commenting mate have a Top week

@BrensRCracing Thanks for the reply, Bren. Looks like I've a big learning curve ahead 😁😆

Absolutely mate giggles a plenty and some racing to boot is a win win.... Well it's a 5th to 8th at least I don't want to set expectations too high😂👍 have a good one pal.

@ always a laugh with “constructive support” 😂😂😂 are you racing MB on Wednesday??

@shaunhird Yes mate booked in and planning to have a play👍😊

@ see you there. 👍🏻👍🏻

@@theadventuresoflario cheers pal.... Yes I clearly had been better than I thought B7 ready for 2025👍👍

It's a on going debate 😂😂 and you can't vote for yourself anyway 😉👍👍

@@julianlewington2421 absolutely buddy.... 2025 new year new adventures and outside racing (when it's sunny obviously)

That's mega mate DDR racing parts are always some good bits of kit.... Glad you had a good time that's what it's all about mate have a Top week pal

@@BrensRCracing cheers pal, you too....👍🏼

Thanks buddy... Kind to say mate👍👍 Find a local club mate and go and have a look it's very addictive, if your profile pic represents you you'd be amazed how many of us ride either MTB, zwift, road or in my case I have been know to dabble at Cyclo Cross and the self inflicted torture known as Time Trialing(when I was less "portly😂😭😉)... Have a fantastic festive season

@@custard164 yeah getting there buddy interested to see how much more front end grip I'll have after switching to the aluminium front part instead of the brass one.... #SNAFU round ever corner waiting to pounce buddy🤣... I'd know the name of these parts with santa-claus present as its got an instruction manual 😂

@BrensRCracing the lingo will come my young Jedi

Lol good not just me and Lewis Hamilton that's fluffing starts at the moment 😭😂 Yeah agreed chasing is way better... Thanks for watching and commenting mate helps a lot 👍👍

Ha definitely quicker when I'm chasing although definitely guilty of letting my head drop a it if the are gapping me straight away 😉

Wow just finished reading (analysing) the rest mate.... Few questions what's the switch that has suddenly transformed your lads pace in comparison to the previous few months? If you can pin point something specific that is.... Obviously you guys run 2wd... 4 wd and stadium trucks (truggies?) do you think it's a good idea to run the separate classes on the same event as track time is track time or do you find it to be a problem to keep switching as the characteristics of the platforms as so different it trips you up on the day??? Santa is due to bring me a (nearly new) B7 so after Christmas I'm hoping to make some much better progress.... Thabks for watching mate and I enjoy the comments regardless of the length... Have a Top week pal.

@@BrensRCracing so, what do I think made the difference for Patch? I honestly think it was indoor on road that did it. When we first started racing in Novice we (ahem) didn't use our brakes. Don't laugh, small steps right? When we started On Road I had him practice using the brakes to go into a corner tight, load up the front end, and dart out the other side (not optimum, but I used it as a teaching mechanism at the time). Once he figured out how the brakes worked, he started trying to get in tighter in Off Road ... then he tried timing his landings on jumps, especially if there's a corner immediately after, and just got better from that point on. Me? Well, I'm a different beast as I still have difficulty doing all that as my hand motor skills are (shall we say) lacking. As for multiple classes, for my opinion track time is track time. For carpet our 4wd doesn't handle a lot different than the 2wd, but the 4wd has more power and speed so can get out of corners quicker. If we only had one class we'd be sitting around for 2 hours between races with 11 to 13 (or more) qualifiers per round due to so many classes the club runs in a club race. Now Stadium is a different story. It took my son a bit to be able to go back and forth between that one and the buggies, as the tires are wider so he was clipping the pipes on corners early on .. and that caused him to dislike the class compared to the other 2. Now, though, he's gotten used to flipping between all 3 classes in a single day, and was getting about the same number of laps in all 3 races (about 27 laps in 5 min last race day). Our club has the bad habit of putting your car on the track and immediately turning practice laps, so he gets in 3 or 4 laps before they line up for the run, and that helps him get the feel for which ever vehicle he's running in the race .. he'll sometimes clip a few corners wrong in the warm up laps which gets that out of his system early on. On Road we were running just one class, and my son hasn't run in over a year because of that. Now I have 2 (older) XRAYs for him, and 2 (newer) XPRESS for me. The XRAYs handle a lot better than the cheeper XPRESS cars, you can really feel the difference and it shows in the times. When Associated comes out with the new on roads I'll be getting a couple for him and upgrade myself to the 2018 XRAYs (from the 2024 XQ2S). Thanks again for your time, always interesting to chat, and love your channel as you have a similar driving style to my own. Fhuz oot

Cheers Hixxy👍.... You surprised me mate thought it would have been If @RC.89 was chasing you 😂
