How many race meets do you have outdoors? 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! 🌞

Spent an stolen hour trying to get my diff working on my 2wdTurnigy SCT... before it was notchy with the rearwherls fitted, now it’s super smooth but one wheel doesn’t spin the other one arrgghhhh!

[ThunderDragonCy]

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

These cars always come up at the wrong time! That is one awesome looking beasty! Had I not just bought the car below Id have snapped that straight up!

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.

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.

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.

Very Ninja, great color choice. Put a brace on the front shock tower, less flex and breakage.

Loving the colour!! Great choice by him!

Added kyosho titanium rods to my re re optima

Got some pics from yesterdays fantastic meeting at Ayr, (dab of reverse) 15t firebolt, 1060 esc and 2s lipo in a novafox = full straight wheelie 😁

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.

I spy... battery holder, unis, blue springs?

btw be careful of the Alu posts, carbon fibre conducts!! I've been putting shrinkwrap over the Alu posts for added precaution.

 

dayum which reminds I need hw1060s

When the going gets tough, we take a break and do some painting...

photo. Are they resin or are they metal - who knows?!

Applied some decals today

[max69vk]

Started sorting through another couple of boxes of vintage SRB parts, slightly shocked by how many pairs of rear arms & front ends I have...

 

[Carts]

Ordered a chassis from jk-rc and ESC 

[Badcrumble]

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.

Did some more work on my DIY display stand and half way through painting the lettering on my Thunder Dragon tyres.

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!

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 agree about the painting. 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. Please would you mind pointing me in the direction of it?

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!
