🔥 Quick Poll — What RC class do you run?
Only too many 1/10th classes and on occasion 8th! Modified Touring Car - Xray X4 '24 2wd Modified - Xray XB2 '26 4wd Modified - Xray XB4 '25 Stadium Truck - Xray XT2 '21 8th E Buggy - WIRC SBXE
@Blaine Baird Aye! Sold my Xray XB8E to buy the XB4 once EABC kicked off. Borrowed the WIRC for Dirt Masters and really liked it (it's 99% an xray anyway) Chris Travers never got it back, nor had the option really 🤣
📸 Show Us Your Best RC Photo!
Let’s get a little photo thread going 👀 Drop your favourite picture of your RC — race shot, pit bench, clean rebuild, dirty mess… anything! Doesn’t matter what skill level or what brand you drive. Let’s fill this thread with some cars! 🚗💨
Beautiful panoramic of what will be our track for 2026, Kilroot Power Station stack looming in the background. Not a bad day in October to be cutting grass 😀
@Blaine Baird It's easily 2x the size of RCNI + some but not using all of it, gives a lot of wiggle room to move layouts around Think we have 4 mowers, between committee owned or donated 👌☺️
Slow Hands, Fast Laps
A quick tip for anyone new to racing: 👉 Smooth steering = faster laps. Most beginners turn the wheel too sharply or too quickly. Try focusing on small, smooth steering inputs and you’ll immediately notice: • more consistent lines • fewer mistakes • better corner exit speed Give it a try next time you drive — you’ll be shocked how much it helps!
One little thing to experiment with is Steering Curve or Steering Exponential depending on TX brand. Minus Curve/Expo will make the steering less sensitive at the middle of the stick/wheel - essentially moving the point where you have maximum steering throw closer to the physical endpoint of the stick or wheel. I prefer minus Expo (maybe 5-10% at most) for on-road racing Plus Curve/Expo will make steering more sensitive at the mid point - Rarely if ever run Plus Expo on-road but can end up at +25% at tight off-road tracks like Dublin Model Car Club and on occasion when it's really dry on the astro at RCNI ** Throttle Curve/Expo does much the same thing
🏁 Hudy Series Round 4 – Mid-Day Setup & Results Update!
Busy day here at DMCC for Round 4 of the Hudy Series – loads of fast laps, drama, broken bits, and plenty of setup testing throughout the qualifiers. Here’s how things have been going on my end so far: 🛠️ Qualifying Rundown & Setup Changes Q1 – Baseline Run No changes made for Q1 – just sent it to see how the car felt after last race day. ➡️ Car felt decent and predictable, nothing strange showing up. Q2 – First Tweaks Change: - Moved front camber link to the outer position on the hubResult: - Car became less snappy on corner entry - More stable coming into the apex, smoother rotation Q3 – Fixing Mid/Exit Push Changes: - Removed shim on front inner ball joint (mid position kept)➜ Was finding the front collapsing and pushing the nose from mid-to-exit - Added 2mm shim on rear inner ball joint (kept inner position)➜ Immediately felt like the rear had more grip, more confidence on throttle Q4 – Best Feeling So Far Changes: - Added 2mm shim under the front ball joint (same position)➜ Front end felt much better – more steering without pushing or collapsing - Added +2mm more to rear inner ball joint (now 4mm total)➜ Gave more rear grip on power, could push harder while keeping the car planted➜ Overall the best balance I’ve had all day 📊 Round Results Dropped in the results board so everyone can see the standings after Q2 and Q3 💥 The Not-So-Lucky Corner Not everyone escaped drama – GingaPaint absolutely obliterated a C-Hub after a misjudged corner. Happens to the best of us 😂 🏟️ Pit Hall Vibes Great atmosphere across the pits today – loads of different cars, setups, chats, and advice flying around. Brilliant turnout. How’s everyone else getting on? Any big changes working for you today? Any shocker moments or breakthroughs? 📸 Photos from the Day Drop your updates below 👇

Very neat install in that lovely Xray ☺️
How was your weekend
For anyone wondering what it’s like to race on different tracks and different surfaces I can highly recommend DMCC, the warmest of welcomes and a really good and relaxed atmosphere, my driving skills let me down once or twice but I came home still smiling
How was your weekend
It all started when someone else didn't start 🤣
