The Javelin is a nice runner, and keen to see how the Baja King goes, I have one in parts waiting for a rebuild one day.

As for location, I am liking Underwood, only because it's a lot closer, but otherwise I'm happy to go where ever. I was hoping to do some driving with my daughter and have a look at a few places, but too much work on. I suspect I'll be working next weekend too, but I'll make time and still come.

I'll bring my go-pro, not too sure how that will go as its been years since I last used it.

Let's give Underwood Park a go. It's also closer for me. 

I think Peter was also keen on Underwood Park as well.

No forecast of rain for the week so we should be all good.

Picked this up today:

Won't be ready for this weekend but hopefully the next one.

Never owned or driven a Fox before so this is a new experience for me and looking forward to building a kit again as it's been a few years.

Yeah, I hear plenty of good things about them.

Got it from a guy at Kuraby who sells kits on Ebay and FB Marketplace - RC One.

Has kits and a few other things. Nice to have a local seller again since Vintage RC Speed Supplies moved north!

only downside from memory was compartment access to the speed controller and servo was a pain

hmm, good to know, but I am on a self imposed ban from buying any more kits, unless its a Lamborghini Cheetah at a good price.

Yeah, its still sealed but given electronics are way different now, I think it shouldn't be much of a pain hopefully.

Yeah, I don't really have the room for many more kits considering I also keep the boxes!

ok, this is annoying, have come down with a head cold, so not too sure if I will make it tomorrow. I'm not feeling too bad at this stage, but I also don't want to pass anything on.

It's open air Yogi, I don't have a problem with you having a cold.

I have 3 children- you can't give me anything they won't give me eventually so I'm cool if come along with a cold.

Did we settle on a time? I thought around 10 or 11? 

And did we settle on Underwood Park?

I'll get there around 10 as I have to get to work by 12.30, so that will give me 2 hrs

Hey guys!

Looks like a fun time was had.

Sorry, I've had a fair bit going on lately. Let me know when the next one might be.

Maybe Sunday 15th September for our next run?

[yogi-bear 2419]

I can do the 15th, but apparently I have to take Mrs Yogi-bear to the airport around lunchtime, so maybe an afternoon session?

No probs. Are you thinking around 2ish?

2 is good, but turns out its a morning drop-off before 10 am, so really anytime will suit,

and same place?

I'll have a Tamtech Buggy champ to try out, so hopefully the upgraded motor and pinion will arrive in time.
