TAMIYA MEET AT THE NOOK RACEWAY ! 25TH OF MARCH (SATURDAY) !!!!!!!

[tylerdurden]

moosey's just before he killed it, just before it hit the ramp the back end hit the floor and bounced and so it hit the ramp awkwardly and broke both upper rear suspenion arms! heres mine in the air at clumber!

[steviedee]

don't you just love those mid air shots, maybe moosey will go and take a pic of my baja champ in full flight? ;-)

[tylerdurden]

what, like this? this is a video still from clumber.

[steviedee]

oh yeah just like that but a little closer would be good, and a lot clearer but for a movie capture thats cool, just a quick question what do you guys use for the movies?

[WILD WILLY]

Just so people who didnt come to last one the track is astroturf and if you have a look at my showroom there are some pics of the track ! King eddie asked if a 959 would run and to be fair i cant see a problem with that ! steviedee's girlfriend ran her purple and pink evo which are lower than a 959 !

[steviedee]

the day off has been booked so i will defo be there, she'll probably be running that again this time, if she doesnt break it as her driving aint the best... saying that neitheris mine []

[Neil G40]

Well apart from needing a body my Frogs now back together completely and I'd like to get the Sand Scorcher and the Wild Wily up and running but we'll see.

[WILD WILLY]

Going to try and get all the wild willys racing together so would be good to see another wild willy ! []

[Neil G40]

I 've just been looking for bearings sets for the wild willy on ebay but the only I can see are for the wild willy 2, do you know if these will fit the wild willy 1 and also can you recommend a cheap servo that isn't going to break the first time out?

thanks

Neil

[BiggusDitchus]

Bearing sets are different unfortunately.  And a standard futaba for about £7 should sort you out with no problems.

Whoo Hoo willy race, bring it on... anyone got any standard suspension arms, want to narrow mine back to standard.

[Neil G40]

Thanks, one other thing what batteries do you use seeing as a modern stick pack won't fit in a wild willy?

[WILD WILLY]

Is it a wild willy 1 or 2 i may have some suspention arms ! []

[WILD WILLY]

Thanks, one other thing what batteries do you use seeing as a modern stick pack won't fit in a wild willy?

 

Alot of people make there own hump paks up by spliting a standard stick pack up ! [Y]

[tylerdurden]

just finished these two 'bad boys'! i havent run the topforce yet, im waiting to get it the track!

[WILD WILLY]

There looking good andy ! i'll make sure i have the camera this time [:$] got to get some pics of that on the jump ! []

[tylerdurden]

i will have to ajust the shocks on my topforce if im gunna ramp it, the bigwig flies so no probs there![<)]

[WILD WILLY]

Im sure the shocks will adjust just right for the jump ! []

[nigeninja]

Sorry me and the lad won't be there got cricket coaching on that day 

[tamiya_runner]

Count me in - missed the last one due to work

[kingeddie]

whey, cleared it with the missus, and booked her and my lad in at the mother-in-laws that sat, about 5min down the road from the nook! prob be bringing my mate paul (with the 1/1 red chavalier with BIG spoiler) we're building up a couple of quick king cabs for the day!

[steviedee]

king cabs dont do it, far too good to nook-em ;o) remember water proofing was the aim for me this time, as i killed 4 cars in under an hour last time due the rain the days before, the stadium blitzer is rebuilt and working like a treat all water proofed as it gets ;-)

 

[WILD WILLY]

I think i should tell everyone your cars and trucks will go home a lot cleaner than at the clumber meets but there does tend to be the odd puddle about so ballons are a must for the day ! there could always be a heat wave that week fingers crossed ! []

[mr_pushrod]

Looks like I should be there as well, I'll be blagging a lift with Mr Ditchus. I should have with me my Wild One, XC, Pumpkin and possibly a completed Mod Clod. I look forward to it []

[terry.sc]

Got a Clod project underway myself that might make its debut at the Nook, assuming I get the chassis built in time. Don't expect to see it running though as my race Hotshot which I was trying to get built for Kiddrminster last year is still not finished.

[WILD WILLY]

Will anyone be bringing any trades with them ? or spares for sale ? []
