The Siebenelch's on tour

[Minicooper 35]

Just a bit of tech stuff:

The stealth tranny held up well so far. The differential worked perfect, although I did not use new rings or balls. No re-adjustment was needed the whole evening.
Slipper-wise I noticed that it tended to open (and fade) a little bit. Maybe that's because of the 15 years old pads and the original slipper spring. I think I will replace both ASAP.

This is the setup I used:
Motor: LRP Vector X11 6.5T
Speedo: LRP Shpere Comp 2007 (Setup - AutoCell: 1, ADPC Profil: 3, Initial Brake: 2, Automatic Brake: 3)
Gearing: 16/87 (12,2:1)
Battery: Team Orion Carbon Edition 3200 LiPo

I took a 5-cell EP4600-pack with a LRP-Speedo and a 8 turns Reedy Titanium-motor. The Punch and Speed was excellent with only 5 cells. I had no problems with the Slipper. I only had a broken roll-pin at a rear-wheel.

Here is the official Team MOOH Logo!

If I have time, I will continou the Vitec-thread. I am so busy the last weeks. Sorry!

Man I like those cars.... What are those front wheels and tires? are these 2.2?

[adam lancia]

Front and rears appear to be 2.2" with the rear being B3 rims and probably the front's too.

[Minicooper 35]

Rear wheels on both B2/B3 with Schumacher 4WD Mini-Pin tyres.
Front wheels on Michael's car 2,2' for "flange less" bearing (don't have the partnumber handy but I think in the 948x range for #3977 bearings) with Schumacher Stagger Rib tyres.
Front wheels on mine are "wide body" (no partnumber handy too) with Schumacher 2WD Mini-Pin tyres.

9482 are the wide body B3 front wheels, 9481 are the narrow. 9480 are the uber rare B2 only fronts...

Sadly, all are discontinued... I found the B4 fronts are offset towards the center of the car and require the longer "GT" widening front axles to get the width close to correct.

Temple, where's the difference between these two? Michael and I found that we have two different "narrow" front rims. One had a "taller" "bead" (the circles part) one was a bit narrower in height.

The taller bead (also with eight ribs rather than six) that uses non-flanged bearings are the 9480 B2 wheels.

Fantastic cars! Thankfully, no one posted any pictures of Michael or Sebastian in ass-less chaps.

After a bit of research at the German empolyment agency Michael was able to find us a proper mechanic. She will also care for the catering at the race meetings ...
