Default FAO anyone that knows about rolling roads

Has anyone got information on MAHA rooling road set ups?

Apparently a German make.

Are these good or bad?

Thankyouplease

Have you ever been on a "SUN" rolling road?

Then youve been on a MAHA.

Agreed Alex

When Interpro's MAHA rollers break down (at least once a year), it can be out of servive for up to 6 weeks because of the lack of parts situation.

Some of the MAHA chassis dyno's in the UK are very old and unrelaible now

Mmmm looking into venues for a rolling road day for our club and there only seems to be 3 places that arent to far away

2 have MAHA/SUN rollers

The other one is Dyno dynamics which ive heard are very good but its £50 a run so cant see many of our lot wanting to pay that much

wildheart,

Try these peeps at silverstone:

http://www.wrc-tech.co.uk/services-rolling-road.htm

WRC Technologies is the UK's premier dyno tuning and testing facility, utilizing the revolutionary Quad Retarder Dyno Dynamics Chassis Dynamometer - with a collosal 2400bhp power handling capability - at the wheels. This is the largest capacity rolling road system available today - and one of only two in the world.

The thing with WRC Tech (silverstone) is that they are the newest rolling road set up in the UK and they are keen to get new business, especially "shootouts".........well worth a phone call IMO
