AWESOME.

care to expand? are we talking F1, RC or a combination?

It was an irresistible headline on the BBC yeserday Reuben - actually referring to the changed chassis MS will be running in Spain.

[Reuben]

ah found it:

"While the chassis may help his cause, it is the improved weight distribution which Mercedes hope will make the real difference"

are we expecting to see the fuel-tank taped in hanging over the edge of the chassis? true LP style?

No doubt this might give the arrogant old fart a slight chance to catch his team mate whos been using the old chassis ??

Ross Brawn has come out saying that schumacher cannot drive a car that enters corners on the edge of understeer. he like a more positive turn in...

But i always understood that the fastest cars should be on the edge of understeer.

besides cant the best drivers be quick in anything... MS is overated, the only reason he has 7 WDC's is because he has never had a competitive team mate.

Rant over

Wrong Martin I am afraid, Xrays oversteer.

Schumachers style and setup needs come from his karting days and he has always had the car designed just so, to the detriment of his teammates. What I mean by that is that he has a very specific pointy setup and the Ferrari's were designed specifically to achieve that. It was not though a setup that many other drivers liked which made it difficult for the no 2.

Personally I don't care for the man - if I had any respect it went when he took Damon out in Australia.

But the reason he won 7 titles is because he is in the top two or drivers that ever graced this planet.

That cause they have no rear grip (Photon has too much).....it stops one getting the power on early too

This is the "genral RC chat thread"...is'nt it lol

Funny you should say that Les, as it happens we are dialing in some pro squat this evening to leverage the potential grip

I presume you mean tilting the front of the rear wishbone down a little?

Be carefull it "can" make matters worse...this will improve traction to the rear wheels but not nessaseraly lateral grip.....you will also find it wont suit a bumpy track ie it makes the rear dance around over the bumps counteracting "any" advantage of the extra traction gained by the adjustment.....its normaly an adjustment used in desperation.......failing that buy a Photon

Try adding more rear toe....or 08/09 rear arms
