So... anyone up for a Sunday afternoon Thorneside run?

The Brat tyres will make you cry on dirt but come into their own on bitumen. I run the original spikes on dirt - the difference is incredible. The other option is the Frog hex adapters with modern wheels and tyres - if you go that way, make sure you run 2" or 2.2" fronts as well because the little fronts with big rears upsets the balance and handling in a big way

I have tried the original shock with 25wt oil and a set of re-re shocks 25wt and the originals are so much more suited to the Frog. The squishy tyres do most of the dampening on the frog and it's still a pig on the track. Mad Racer is a bit of an expert setting up the Frog to handle with Yeah Racing 70mm shocks but if you want to keep it true vintage running stock wheels/tyres the original shocks with 20-30wt oil will do you well. Look forward to doing some Frog bashing with you soon!

Hi and welcome. Hornet is great for the beach as suggested. Also alot of fun in the mud. Hope you can make it to a run soon. So what are we all up to this weekend? Anyone up for a run somewhere - Beach run maybe?

Very cool vid Paul! Looking forward to seeing if Peter's footage worked out. Yep, beach run. Let's throw some dates up. Ideally with a low tide round 11am so we can run on the outgoing tide.

Yep, kids, scooters and first aid kit all ready. Will get there as early as I can as well - no chance of 8am though

Happy new year everyone! Still on for tomorrow? What time?

Hi Peter My 5yo boy uses the Losi 2.4ghz that comes with the mini-T. Is almost full size but only takes 4xAA batteries so is lighter than most transmitters. Might be upgrading him to an Eurgle unit soon as he is about to get his second RC car. Let me know if you are interested and I'll bring it along next run. Cheers Mark

sorry guys, I'm out Working restnof the week and have family duties tomorrow now. Keen for a Wednesday or thursday after 3pm if anyone is interested.

I'm keen - Yeah 830-9am is more my pace as well.

Haha! Story of my life! Wynnum is the go. Plenty of room, on road track (yep, no drifting) and a bmx track behind.

Cool! On and off road. Tuesday the 27/12 I'm good but If it's Tuesday the 3/1 I'll come late afternoon as I have to work that day. Nigel's head finally arrived. Here is the F189 Ferrari as I got it - Had an SS head!?! An now - I didn't have decals so had an attempt at freeehand painting. Got to admit I really enjoyed it and pretty happy with the result considering I can't draw or paint to save myself.

I'm keen for Thorneside again but only have the public holidays or any day after 4pm. Merry Christmas guys! Hope you all get what you asked for from Santa!

Hey guys. Hoping someone here has the following laying around. Part No. PG-41 MSC with diode Set of brushes for a Le Mans 360 PT motor Prefer unused but may consider very lightly used PM what you got. Cheers!

Yeah, had a run with Peter from 3pm til 5pm at Cleveland Coles when the old trusty security guard kicked us out of the car park. I'll get some pics up of my restored F189 once Nigel Mansell's head arrives in the post to tempt you into buying one some more Brad. I never thought I'd see the day when Retro buys a filthy ugly "spaceship buggy"?? Can someone check to see if his TC account has been hacked? I'm not convinced it's really Paul typing that

Saturday arvo/evening is good for me. Anyone else keen?

Been a while fellas and this rain looks to stay... Anyone keen for a car park bash on the weekend? There are a couple of under cover ones at capalaba but have to use them after trading hours.

haha! I'm sure they will be more considerate to vintage runners than certain off roaders I'm pretty booked up the next few weeks as well but whenever the next meet is I'll try my best to join in.

Hey Peter I'd be keen for a Friday of Saturday night run. Have a nice little spot under Aldi Capalaba where a few of us used to drift a few years ago. Ok lit, out of the way and quiet after 8pm. Not able to do much next few weeks but post up if you head out and will try and pop in.

I'm in. Just charging up now. See you at 1pm for a Blackfoot maiden run.

Lets do the 26th or 27th - Sunny Coast beach run after garage sale at Scotty's As for this weekend - looks to be a bit of a fizzer. Just a couple of us - Sunday Arvo 230pm at Thorneside. PM or call me for details.

Good Buy! I had my finger on the bid button with 20 seconds to go but thought I better not as I'm picking up a Hotshot, Super Hornet and Blitzer today that the wife doesn't know about yet If you ever want to offload it let me know - best to wait a few week until I'm back in the good books

I vote for a garage sale at Scotty's for the next run As for this weekend. I'm ok either afternoon after 2pm. Thorneside seems to be the winner. Will have a cople of non-tamiyas as well as my Blackfoot to christen in a dirt bath. For anyone wanting gear, I'm fully stocked again so let me know if you want me to bring anything.

That's funny Brad. How to build a drift car... Step 1. Lock rear diff. I'm keen for some dirt action next run. How about Sunday afternoon again. Venue????

What a fun afternoon. Good to meet you Johann and was great to catch up with Brad and Kumi again. Not forgetting brothers Paul and Morgan, its always a pleasure. You are such gentlemen and your cars are so well prepared Next run on the weekend of the 5th or 6th November. What do we all want to do?
