Topic: BRM Tuning

All,

A new livery 962 is now available and it's one for which I have been waiting years...  The #17 Shell from the Nurburgring:

http://www.italiaslot.com/img/1slotlandia/slotlandia_2016/foto/962_Shell_17_1.jpg

I have ordered one, along with a red motor to be legal for Odd Thurs.  It is the first new 962 I have ordered in a LONG(!!!!!) time.

Whenever it happens to arrive, I will begin setting it up and tuning it.  If anyone has their own BRM (either configuration) and wants to tune theirs while I tune mine, I would be happy to work together and help get yours set up as well.  The only downside is I have a bit of traveling coming up and things may not work out until August.

Let me know if you're interested and we can coordinate from there.

Chris

Re: BRM Tuning

Sure, that'd be ideal but I'll need to scrub my calendar.  What does yours look like?

(don't tell me it has squares with numbers and days of the week on it!)

You have NO idea how much I wish I could say yes to that... but no.

There is a remote possibility I can pull off the afternoon/evening of Weds, July 6- a day before the next Odd Thurs.  Let me know if that works with you guys and I can start figuring out a plan.  Otherwise it'll be sometime in August.

Re: BRM Tuning

I might have to join you, my new front ties came today, but my track is too small to get up to tire hopping speed. I suppose I could turn the voltage up, but there is a wall behind turn one.

Re: BRM Tuning

Guys,

I can't do the test & tune this Weds. Will need to reschedule for some time in August. Sorry to tease about it.

Re: BRM Tuning

I know it'd mean back to back slot nights, but would anyone want to do a BRM test and tune next Weds, 8/10, the day before an Odd Thurs?  I believe a will be available.

Bill - would you be available/willing to host again?

You're welcome to excuse yourself from your wife's company at the beach and come back to play with toy cars.  I'm sure that'd be a super-healthy step for your marriage!

I will happily pick another date and to a remedial tuning session with you if it'd make you feel better.

So far it's just Monte and me, neither of us having a track to really do much with so this may be all just bits and bytes on the internet anyway and we'll wait for you to return...

Re: BRM Tuning

If I come back from the beach to attend, leaving Diane at the beach, can I come live with you afterwards?

If you were really lucky, you might still have 1/2 a travel trailer to sleep in. Just sayin'...

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: BRM Tuning

I suggest in the spirit of group harmony we consult with Bill on all future dates for tuning.  I'm guessing he'll know something we won't and it's best to have all the knowledge on the table.

I have two spare rooms at my place. Can you handle 5 ankle biting winner dogs?
