Well guys after the last thread getting lost due to the new forum format.
Im re-opening the thread.
Is everyone able to do it and not going to drop out? Also, i've thought of a way of migrating between sticks and wheel.
If I put my spare 2.4ghz reciever in the car, and bind that to my module. We could then just swap the module between the transmitters.
My next question is, what sort of connectors is everyone using on there speedo's. The majority of of mine are running bullet connectors.

I run 4mm bullet connectors with my cells. Have you been keeping upto date with oople thread on Ardent 24 hr? Still tyre issues and motor over heating, I think fans are a definite and spare motors. No tyre decisions yet but expected at the weekend, see some quotes below. Are you all going to the practice on the sunday 29th? I fly back from the states then, hoping I will have some energy to make it. Jonathan -Quote (Originally by Craig W)--- Are we running HPI slick or is it open slick tyre now as we don't wont to go out and buy HPI slick to test on and its open tyres ---End Quote--- Please do not make any rash moves re control tyres until it is definitely confirmed, we are seeing which tyres will fit on the kit rims, in the right quantity and at the right price. Hold fire for this week, i'll have sorted something by the weekend. Lots of options open to us. I am desperate to run the kit rims :-) ************ www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?p=500828#post500828Posted by: jasonb On: 11-05-2011 08:19 PM ---Quote (Originally by lotussmart)--- Please do not make any rash moves re control tyres until it is definitely confirmed, we are seeing which tyres will fit on the kit rims, in the right quantity and at the right price.

I am desperate to run the kit rims :-) ---End Quote--- I would love to run HPI rims, they suit the car and have the right offset to fill the Porsches wheel arches, plus it keeps everyone on the same track width so there's no advantage to narrower or wider cars etc. Look forward to the final announcement, oh and can HPI supply enough 20T Saturns to see us through the event please? I've smoked 4 of them now testing grippier tyres at my local club and I've run out..... man they smell bad once they over heat!

Hey, Sorry guys I'm thinking I will probably drop out of this one, not fancying the whole 24hr thing at the mo so if anyone knows some one who fancys racing and doesn't have a team then my spot will be available.

It appears the rothmans livery has been taken....im now thinking of having the shell done in the Falken Livery as follows I really need people to show more interest in this project, and provide input. As i've got more than enough on my plate with a family death at the moment, its getting where where I feel like saying bish bash bosh, Race.....rather than giving people the opportunity to provide input as to what they'd like to see done too. But the deadline is drawing closer.

Sorry guys, but I haven't done the body yet, but thats lucky really because the scheme has been taken.
The body was all marked up ready but with the changes to be made and the short time we have left to get the car ready, I don't think I will be doing the falken design has it would take longer to mask out and match the colours.
So I've found a Le mans style scheme that hopefully wont take me too long and I can get the body back to Dan ready to race. I'm hoping to get it done over the next few days.
Hope you like Orange! ;D
Any objections please get them in quickly.

well, ive got a friend who's up for the free spot if anyone minds failing that i remember bob was up for it. Captain was on about being game for it, he's got to run it past the missus though first. Graham would like £15 back, so the other guy would have to pay that back to graham.

Sorex 32's are the tyres then. I guess this is all becoming a headache for John organising this event with moans and groans www.ardentracing.com/raceway/24hr.php as rules are more relaxed now.
