Retro rules! 9 Posted July 14 9 minutes ago, yogi-bear said: 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retro rules! 9 Posted July 16 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yogi-bear 2413 Posted July 19 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
