Or is it a case of when you tge sun, or tge rain stops, the country downs tools and you all go do your thing? The scottish events start at the end of april, with 8 rounds (over 3 tracks) rain or shine! The English, nationals, start early april, with 6 rounds (over 6 tracks), they seem to have more shine than rain down south Tbh, everyone was coming back with a tan last year! 🌞 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderDragonCy 7881 Posted March 11, 2018 Got Project Ultra G quite a bit further on. Not sure about the big difference in track width (rear is 40mm wider than the front) but this was all a bit of an experiment anyway Details on the build thread 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

i_am_scarecrow 913 Posted March 11, 2018 Picked this up today, needs new wheels and tyres and a few other parts. I know the yellow cva's are standard but I can't help disliking them, they are also being replaced asap. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maelstrom 439 Posted March 11, 2018 With warmer weather here, my son and I finally got round to finishing his new body for bis DT02. He insisted on flourescent green and he backed that with silver and then white. Didn't think it would go with the colour of the decals but I really like the result. Best of all, my son is chuffed that he managed everything with only minimal help from me. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterbok 1282 Posted March 11, 2018 Managed to put the TA03F pro I bought a couple of months ago back together. I rebuild to manual, so it had some small surprises for me a couple of hopups where added by the previous owner. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

howaboutme 247 Posted March 12, 2018 Progress! Put the first 300 decals on, just 200 more to go. Don't look too closely though, plenty of stuff to improve for me. Just glad this is almost done. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badcrumble 4203 Posted March 13, 2018 Gave in to temptation and bought another car. And I’d been doing so well... Might have to apply a one-in-one-out rule. That means losing my TL01-LA Xanavi GT-R roller. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I find it best to not try and do all 4 tyres in one sitting as mistakes will follow once you either lose concentration or start to rush to the end! 11 hours ago, Badcrumble said: Gave in to temptation and bought another car.

Medal in the post... what car??? 6 hours ago, Wooders28 said: I've been doing very well, march and no new cars! 👍 (yet.....) Two medals in the post, I recently bought 3 that weren’t even on my radar till they went on sale Today I mostly sorted out my terrible banana skewing torque steer on my FWD ABC Gambado M Chassis... shimmed the front ball ends to reduce some play and turned down the steering dual rates on the TX... now it only slightly pulls right under Hard initial throttle but once galloping it straights out... till a small stone bounces it off course again. I also cut and stuck my skate tape on the underside of my Levant in prep for some jumping action... hopefully it’ll preserve the road rash and keep it looking good?

I like to have a couple of different jobs when doing this hobby, 1 painting related and another building. Saves mistakes and keeps my interest. I noticed that skate stuff on another thread.

novicelad 787 Posted March 13, 2018 Fitted new 4s battery to my TNX, had to change the series connection to standard and now acts as an extension so the battery connection reaches the esc. Put a lipo alarm on the battery pack tested works good! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
