irvan36mm 11-08-2006, 01:48 PM Great stuff! Was also looking at the aero package differences (wing placement) compared to a flat oval w/foams. Very interesting!

DIRTsportsman 11-08-2006, 04:11 PM Where could i see some velodrome racing videos on the net. I dont get the channel the shows on. Never seen it looks crazy though.
swtour 11-08-2006, 05:04 PM Once the show aires on Inside R/C, I'm hoping to take the video and shrink and compress it, and at least put part of it on our web site.

bologna 11-08-2006, 10:49 PM could i get any info on where your getting ft ends like that or web sites of how you did it with what parts and such..
swtour 11-09-2006, 12:00 AM Most of us are running ones put together by Donn Natale
They use the old RC10 Dual Sport front end components w/ custom mounting plates.
There is a little modification you have to do, like running the caster blocks on opposite sides, and removing a little material from them for clearence.

I ran my DNA front end with the castor blocks the way are normally ran.I used a different way to add castor to the front end.
smokefan 11-09-2006, 12:15 PM Huffers car works very good. Most everyone here chased him all summer long at the Indy Velo.
DIRTsportsman 11-09-2006, 06:04 PM Thanks for the links guys. Must be some pretty long faces after a crash there.lol Cool thing is that the lap times are similar to a small track by the looks of it. How many laps do guys run on average at a velodrome
huffrcman 11-09-2006, 06:10 PM In 4 cell 19 turn we ran 19 laps in 4 minutes, mod ran 21 and 22 in IFMAR start at the Indy velodrome.

We run 5 minuet heats & mains.Mod lap times are between 9 & 11 second laps.Track record in mod is 30 laps i believe.Joe from the southwest tour has all the track records.Sometimes you end up with a pile of parts after hitting the wall.Our next drome race is December 9th.
