Martes, 30 de marzo de 2010

As some of you were already able to see over a year ago at the Terrassa endurance race, the PN racing team assembled a prototype that the present commercial version of the triple arm suspension is based on.
As you can see in the image, it is kit version, meaning that you will require disc suspension in order to complete the assembly as with the motor mount that is specified in the description.

As you can imagine, this suspension comes in two types; one is 94mm and the other, 98mm according to the configuration of your mini-z.

Description:
Rear triple threat arm suspension system. (TDS)
It is a conversion kit.

This suspension is valid only with the reference of Pn Racing MR2288 V3 98mm LCG or the PN Racing MR2289 motor mount V4 98mm LCG .
Or the MR2295 motor mount in the case of wanting to use the triple arm 94mm version.

Technical characteristics:
Includes 2 lateral suspesnsions.
Includes 1 upper suspension plate.
Includes 1 lower suspension plate.
Includes 2 M2x4 button screw sets.
Includes 4 Countersink M2x8 units.

The following is needed for installation:
MR2295 PN Racing Mini-Z V3 LCG motor mount
MR2161 PN Racing Mini-Z centre dual-shocks
MR2162 PN Racing Mini-Z centre springs for the adjustment.

Recomendation:

Sin comentarios

Based on the experience of other manufacturers in which the slot.it type axles didn’t fit well into the double lip bearings, we created a new and improved version of the bearings where this type of widely used axle in the slot world can be used without any problems.

This will allow us to easily set up bearings on practically any type car.

As you can observe, the final price of these bearings is quite reasonable, in addition to the overall product quality that is presented in this article.

The trail runs begin for the Mini-Z Kyosho Masters

All of our drivers are ready:

Alejandro Lopez (Stardard and Expert)
Carlos Lambás (Expert)
Noe Miralta (Group C and Expert)
David Moret (Group C and Expert)
Uri Valdé (Group C and Expert)

Ismael Rojo (Standard and Expert)

Last Saturday morning some drivers were able to train; something really necessary given that the RCP Tracks are set up on the smooth face and both the set up as well as the grip is completely different from what the drivers are used to.

The first problem was the fact that the rear tire was the one that operated. We have tried various compounds, from the studded Kyosho MT10, the PN Racing RR06, Parada, CRR06 and the grip still hasn´t been achieved.
The tires that seem to perform the best, but nevertheless without excellent results, are the 20g MZW 38-20 by Kyosho.

Alejandro Lopez decided to set up the Mini-Z 4×4 and it appears that the combination of 20g Kyosho rear tires y 20g RC Atomic ones, the car gives good results.

Now the pre-qualifiers are taking place and the timing system has been causing a few problems. Due to the use of the Kyosho ICTAG on the track the height of the chassis has had to be altered drastically.

The placement of the plastic underlay in order for the Itag to be used has also led to the cars having to be raised so that the underside doesn´t touch the ground. We have observed that with this 30 lap counter system, whether it be due to the software or the hardware, 2 or 3 laps have to be added manually.

We hope that these time keeping problems can be solved as soon as possible. On another note, the how things have been set up in the hall is really good.
Lots of tables, lots of space, many stalls selling different items; a bar, show case of modified 1:1 cars, as well as a few 1:5 scale car exhibitions.

At the moment, Ismael Rojo is the one who is runing the fastest speeds with an 18’2 time , which is incredible if you consider how long and large the track is that they have assembled.
