FTX Punisher UK National Champions
2011 has been an exciting year for CML drivers Steve Haynes and Darren Johnson.
Between them they have taken an impressive 11 podium places, six of those being 1st place out of the 8 rounds of the Large Scale Off Road National Series! R7 was a punishing podium lockout with Steve, Darren and Gery Doyle taking an FTX 1,2,3 at the Nook Raceway.
Both Steve and Darren have been driving the FTX Punisher, which has proved reliable, agile and competitive, enabling them to achieve 1st and 2nd place overall in the 4wd British Championship facing some stiff competition along the way.
The upgraded 27cc engine has been at the heart of both cars and has provided good reliable performance, having completed the entire seasons racing without missing a beat. It's fair to conclude from the results, that these engines have had anything but an easy life!
In wet conditions, the FTX 'V' Spike tyres have proven to be effective and the FTX 3 degree rear toe block has also been useful keeping the rear of the cars planted under the slippier conditions often found on wet Astro Turf tracks and should be an essential tuning aid in any racers pit box.
500k weight oil has been used at most tracks in the centre differential. This has provided excellent forward drive, whilst helping to minimise the effects of harsh racing conditions on the drive train. More details of Team FTX?s car set-up?s can be found below.
