Awesome! Will prepare.the couch to watch everything, letting the pace car run idle laps under constant throttle on the Desmo to add to the atmosphere ..

This was a great experience for CJR RACING. The box stock "Trashcan Martin" made its way back today, with all of the BARC RACING MODS included. Upon further investigation of the shipping container another body was discovered. Thank you Dan! I will have to dedicate some time to my modeling.

Thank you for entering. My goal was to give you a show. I have ordered a pile of my new favorite motors. Drop one of these in the stock Carrera and what a difference it makes, They run at about 15000 RPM with good torque, and the combination is really good for nomag racing. The stock Carrera motors are pretty hot once you pull the magnets, and you really have to turn down the voltage to be able to control them. Your car suffered from a high COG Some more weight low in the chassis would have helped, and the addition of a guide flag would help as well. The modifed guide worked and really improved the handling of the nomag Carrera chassis, but it just isn't as good as I proper guide flag

I hope you will be a return particpant at nexts years race. Give some thought to Peters ProNoMAg event. It is a must do date on my calendar. He usually gets a pretty decent turnout.

Cheers

Hi Aki

You should have got a Ferrari P4 shell. Check the packaging. There was a shell and some vacuum formed glass.

Maybe someone will end up with two!,

Peter

When your cars arrive check to see if you ended up with two P4 shells. I had them all set aside, and there were none left when I finished shipping everything back.

IF it is not discovered let me know. I will send one along with my ProNoMag entries and then Peter can send it on to you when he returns your cars.

Cheers

Hi Dan,
package arrived back today, many thanks!
LOTS of BARC BITEs in there - many thanks - now i need to try them if they work on the Desmo, but they look good and promising!
I got 3 shells, one Porsche Spider, one Ferrari and one Ferrari P4 shell. Many thanks for them!
Ciao,
Peter

I sent the tires along to help with prizes for the ProNomag, of course there are some for you to try.

The extra shells were for you winning the event, but if there were not two P4s in there then one is still missing.

Glad they made it back OK

Cheers

Don't worry with the body shell Dan.
My cars and tires were in plastic bags and wrapped with bubblewrap.
There was two bags of tires though so maybe someone is missing tires?

Cheers

Well It will be no problem send one along with my cars to Peter.

Let me know how the tires work for you. Remember to glue and true.

Hi Dan, IIRC you were able to adjust voltage to suite each car? I was wondering what voltage you were able to use on the cars. Also thanks for the P4.

Thanks
Randy

[BARC 1]

Yes I have digital control of the lanes and have an analog resistance bank as well, giving me about 40 different control settings. Basically I have 40 steps between 8 to 14 volts and Your car ran good on 12 volts so that is what I ran it at. The only cars I had to dial down were the stock Carrera cars, and JHRicos Capri

Cheers

Thanks Dan. The stock (no-mag) Carrera is definitely a handful. IIRC Peter uses 60ohm parma's for them trying to dampen down the "hit"

Cheers

I have voltage control on the track, and then I have the ability to adjust the ohms on the controllers as wells. It allows me to dial in just about anything to get the most out of the car.

Cheers

i'm using 90 ohm parma ecos for go! nomag cars ...
