P.Y.Tang Xray T3'11 & Orca Vritra Setup Sheet @ Total Hobby EP Touring Race (August 28, 2011)


P.Y.Tang XRAY-ORCA TQ denied a win in rain disrupted Total Hobby EP Touring Race (August 28, 2011)



After a successful first race, Total Hobby EP Touring Race was back on August 28, 2011 at the Puteri Mart racetrack in Johor, Malaysia. Attracting more entries from Singapore and Central Malaysia this time, the event competed in 1/10 Open Modified EP Class, 2WD Mini EP Open and an addition of the 1/10 GP Touring Class.



Close competition was seen from the 1/10 Open Modified EP Class, which showed huge improvement in pace from the local drivers. A-Main was highly competed with same qualifying system from last race, where best 2 of 4 rounds was taken for qualifying. The race started off hot with 3 different drivers taking the TQ in the first 3 qualifying. James Ki of Xray took the Round 1, Lee Han Chuang in another Xray took Round 2, while P.Y.Tang started off slow in the first 2 rounds finally led the pace in Round 3 taking TQ, setting the fastest timing of the day 24 laps 5:04.752 at fastest laptime of the day at 12.269s. It was great improvement from P.Y.Tang after changing springs setups and improving the tyre treatment with the NASA Mighty Gripper V2 to suit the high abrasive track. Posing another consistent 24 lapper in Round 4, P.Y.Tang took a light breather for taking the overall TQ. Good results for XRAY which took 7 spots in the A-Main!

Final A-Main showed an even more intense race which starting clean off the line would be crucial. Fresh rubber gave P.Y.Tang a good start off the tone. Ken Ng holeshot taking the 2nd spot immediately was following closely behind P.Y.Tang. Unseparated until the 3rd minute when Ken Ng had contact, while both leaders were passing backmarkers. P.Y.Tang stretched the gap took cruise in for the Final A1 win, with Jonest Wong taking 2nd position and Ken Ng fell to 3rd.
Final A2 was unlucky for P.Y.Tang when he was hit on the first lap at corner 3 dropping him way back to 10th. Unable to recover, P.Y.Tang stopped to conserve his tires. Ken Ng went on to win Final A2, followed by TC Boy and Alister Lim. Unexpected rain disrupted the race with Final A3 cancelled. Unusual ruling by organizer to take both final results denied P.Y.Tang for the win dropping him to 6th overall. Ken Ng claimed 1st overall, Jonest Wong 2nd and TC Boy 3rd.

Litemodz Design CVS Evo2 now in stock @ Quantum!



The new CVS raises the standard of transmission bringing our scale cars into the 21st Century by utilizing the technology as used on pretty much all modern day Full size cars.

The advantage of running constant veolcity driveshafts has been well known for nearly the last 100 years and it is a major factor in maintaining wheel compliance with the ground.

The new shaft provides constant velocity equalising input and output shaft speeds reduces wheel vibration to a minimum providing a much smoother transmission increasing steering and overall grip levels on the car by reducing unwanted tyre scrub.

Using the CVS in both the front and rear of the car provides a more stable and precise car that is easier to drive with the added benefit of improving transmission wind up and tyre wear.

The potential benefit of running constant velocity drive shafts can be seen when looking at the standard UJ.

Theoretically a motor spinning at 40000 rpm with a gear ratio of 7 to 1 will produce a wheel speed of 5714 rpm. At zero angle this will remain at 5714rpm. However introduce angle into the joint and it begins to fluctuate. It is common to run with the drive shafts with some angle given the ride height to diff height toe angle and camber. At 30 degrees (front) the speed fluctuation will be approximately 29% giving an actual speed fluctuation of: 1657 rpm which occurs twice per revolution in both directions.



5714 45 rotation accelerating
7371 90 rotation decelerating
5714 135 rotation accelerating
4057 180 rotation decelerating
5714 225 rotation accelerating
7371 270 rotation decelerating
5714 315 rotation decelerating
4057 0 rotation accelerating
5714 45 rotation



This can produce excessive tyre wear and load the transmission wearing drive shafts, cups, pulleys and belts.
At the same time the rear of the car will also produce some results. Assuming 3 degrees toe in and a shaft operating angle of some 10 degrees there will be an approximate speed fluctuation of 3 %.
That is +/- 171 rpm again in both directions.
Since the suspension on the car is relatively soft every time that car leans in a corner the speed fluctuation is increased maybe up to as much as 12% assuming the angle is now operating at close to 20 degrees.
This is as much as 685 rpm.

P.Y.Tang capitalized a mistake from Nicholas Lee in the 3rd minute and went on with the win. Nicholas Lee finished 2nd and Chee Lip Keong in 3rd. In the Final A2, it was an easier win for P.Y.Tang when Nicholas Lee retired from electronic failure, handing Chee Lip Keong 2nd. With the overall win already in hand, P.Y.Tang battled with Nicholas Lee for the whole 5 minutes in Final A3.

Although Daryl Thong was more consistent during the runs, Kevin Wong took the TQ with just 1 second separating them. Final qualifying position TQ by Kevin Wong, followed by ORCA-powered Daryl Thong and Shawn Chow.
