LOL, Im still wringing my pants out, LOL.

You didnt miss much Jozza, It got well and truly rained off in the end!

I ran 4 cars and 2 got smashed up (1 not my fault tho)

I think the next Bash will be about 2 weeks before crimbo and will be at a big sand pit near Charing (half way between Maidstone and Ashford) Il sort out all the finer details nearer the time but its a great place for Buggies, Short course trucks, Monsters, Crawlers and a great place for XC's I think it would be best if we dont allow Nitros or large Scale for the time being as we dont wanna offend the locals too much!

Im off to dry myself off now and unload the car,

Cheers for coming today fellas, shame about the weather.

Untill next time......Take it easy.....Chris

I'm back at home now, and its "beeping" sun is out lol

Right, I need to get myself an XC and find one of those £40ish RTR brushless motor sets.

Is the ones you are talking about? -

Is a 9t ok for putting a slash, rally car etc?

Cheers

Thats them, and the seller I used too. Gone up a bit though, probably due to the weak pound :)

Thanks, I take it that 9t is ok?

Looks like the cheapest CC01 i can get is a Touareg for £149, unless anyone know where I can find one cheaper?

might part with a NIB re-release Pajero if you are interested?

The Touareg is £149 at Fusion, take off 10% for TC membership takes it to about £135 :)

The 9T is fine....

Right guys, just got myself a Touareg. What mod's do you recommend I do?

I am already doing the following -

  • Rubber sealed bearings
  • Locked rear diff
  • Waterproof ESC
  • Plastic box to seal the Radio gear
  • Putting sealer round any joints

Any idea's on how best to waterproof the servo

Cheers

Andy

Fill the front diff with bluetack, hot glue gun glue or anything that can be removed if you decide to change your mind.

Get yourself a crawler or lathe motor, I'm at work at the mo but I will see if I have a spare one at home.

As for the servo you can use a balloon but to be honest I have never had an xc steering servo die on me! A good cheap metal geared servo is the tower pro 995, only about £12 so even if it does die it won't break the bank unlike the hitec 745mg which is fantastic but costs about £50! The tower pro is a bit slower than the 645 but you don't need speed in a crawler.

I wouldn't bother with the steering mod until you really need to.

There are a few more bits and bobs you can do but it means cutting plastic about so il show you a couple of mine, then you can decide if you wanna do it.

I would however cut the tyres, there are some tips and hints in my showroom that I did to the Custard toerag.

When you build the Touareg body, leave the little bit off that you are supposed to "servo tape" onto the rear end, it will only get ripped off anyway, you might also need to do a bit of strategic clearance trimming to the body ;)

Look forward to seeing it running at the next KB :D

Looks like my weekend off will be the 19/20 Dec, So how does the 20th sound to you guys, Im afraid I cant really do the Sat but if majority would prefer the Sat then I will organise it!

We can make this the official 2009 Crimbo Kent Bash! LOL

Not sure if I will have my SC10 running by then after I snapped the chassis at the last wet bash, as there are no Chassis in the UK as yet and the one ive had to buy from the states is taking its time to arrive, fingers crossed tho!

I suggest meeting up @ the Maidstone services for lets say 9:30 as this will get us to the bash site for about 9:50 and it means no-one will have to get up too early!

Let me know what you guys think!!
