This one was interesting πŸ‘€

At full speed I kept blaming the elevation change and off-camber section for how the car felt. Especially through the uphill section, every few laps I’d get a bit of oversteer β€” and I honestly thought it was just the track pulling the car in, or me not committing enough to the corner.

Once we slowed the footage down, the chassis movement started telling a slightly different story.

I’d probably start by reducing front weight transfer through kick-up and maybe front roll centre changes before moving into shock oil or bigger rear balance adjustments β€” but setup is always a balancing act.

What would you try first? πŸ‘‡

What a weekend at RCNI 🏁

Tandem races, Obstacle Races, and some seriously close racing on track β€” the atmosphere all weekend was brilliant πŸ‘Š

Massive credit to the RCNI team for all the work preparing the track and putting together such a fun-packed event πŸ‘

This is what RC racing is all about πŸ”₯

DIRT MASTERS at RCNI πŸ†

What a weekend of racing.

Dylan qualified P9 after we missed some qualifying, bumped from the B Final into the A Main… and went on to take the overall Nitro Buggy win πŸ‘Š

I managed TQ in EBuggy and finished P3 after a few mistakes in the finals.

RaceSpec Apex SS tyres were outstanding all weekend with consistent grip, stability and wear as conditions evolved through the event.

Great to have all the equipment working perfectly when it mattered:
β€’ SWorkz Buggies
β€’ Highest Servos
β€’ Sunpadow Batteries
β€’ LRP Electronics
β€’ REDS Engines

Massive thanks to the RCNI team for putting on an awesome event and creating such a great atmosphere all weekend. The Dirt Masters format, fun races and prize-giving made it a brilliant event to be part of.

Well done to everyone who raced πŸ‘

Pit Lane to Podium.

Race prep underway for Dirt Masters at RCNI 🏁

Cars underway, setups planned and RaceSpec tyres ready for the weekend πŸ‘Š

Looks like conditions could make tyre choice and consistency a big factor, so we’ll be working hard to get the cars dialled in.

Really looking forward to this one πŸ”₯

If anyone needs RaceSpec tyres or parts brought to the track this weekend, send us a message πŸ‘

Irish 1/10 Nationals 🏁

Dry heats, wet finals, plenty of laughs in the pits and some seriously close racing all day πŸ‘Š

These are the weekends that make all the late nights and race prep worth it.

Brilliant atmosphere around the track once again and great to see such a strong turnout for 1/10 racing πŸ‘

What a day 🏁

I managed 2nd in 2WD Modified, and Jack had a brilliant day taking the win in 4WD Clubman along with Best Junior πŸ†

Great racing all day and a fantastic atmosphere around the track.

Massive thanks to NIMCC for putting on another superb event πŸ‘

A great day for McBurney Racing πŸ‘Š

Called into the track today to see how the 1/8 racing was going before our 1/10 Nationals tomorrow 🏁

One car was struggling with unpredictable balance and inconsistent grip in the damp conditions, so we had a quick look πŸ‘€

The setup had gone too soft chasing grip, creating too much movement in the chassis and making the car difficult to drive consistently.

We stiffened the springs and reset the ride heights β€” no other changes.

Straight away the car became more balanced, more predictable and gave us a stable platform to continue tuning from πŸ‘Š

Small changes can make a huge difference on track.
