bjr250 23 Posted October 19, 2011 I don't have my F189 ready yet but have a TA-02 rally and TT-01D drifter ready to run on road. Also got a Street Devil that needs a bit of work but no chance for this weekend. On-road I can get the TT-01 Lancia, M-03 Mini and TT-01 drifter ready to roll. TA-01 has no chance as I still need a lot of parts but I might be able to get the TTG Porsche 934 running five and a half years after I built the chassis if I finish off the paint and decals (this weeks project).

yogi-bear 2321 Posted October 19, 2011 Hi YogiI can help you with everything to make the transition to lipo. It's easy as falling off a bike and if treated with respect as safe as ni-cads. PM me anytime if you want to chat and I'll give you my number. As for the weekend, Sunday arv works for me. I don't have my F189 ready yet but have a TA-02 rally and TT-01D drifter ready to run on road. Also got a Street Devil that needs a bit of work but no chance for this weekend. Thanks, I'll PM when I get a chance. Sunday arvo is good for me too, happy to do either off or on-road, Sunday is listed as fine. Managed to work it so I won't have the kids (wife wants to watch the Indy 600), so even better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Managed to work it so I won't have the kids (wife wants to watch the Indy 600), so even better You have a wife that actually wants to watch motor racing?? I got razzed for watching the one hour F1 qualifying last weekend. You are a very lucky man indeed. Do you guys want to do Sun arvo at the Springwood reservoir? Everyone seems keen to run some on-road stuff. I'll run my FAV and something else until my F1 is ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yogi-bear 2321 Posted October 20, 2011 You have a wife that actually wants to watch motor racing??I got razzed for watching the one hour F1 qualifying last weekend. You are a very lucky man indeed. hehe, yeah, I am surprised by my wife's interest in watching motor racing too, but it is just limited to Bathurst and the Indy. Do you guys want to do Sun arvo at the Springwood reservoir? Everyone seems keen to run some on-road stuff. I'll run my FAV and something else until my F1 is ready. Springwood sounds good to me, close to home. I'll have my m03 mini, my hbx pantera (if I get the chassis fixed in time, I managed to break it on my sons foot!) and probably a Celica GT-4 (but I'll be needing a part, speak to you soon Mark about that).

Retro rules! 1 Posted October 21, 2011 Ok fellas what time tomorrow arvo? I was thinking about 230. There is no shade there so the sun might not be so harsh at that time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got some old crystals laying around if you require some? Let me know if you do. Anyone else want to come for some on- road fun, we will be at springwood reservoir at around 130 onwards. It's on springwood road opposite the tennis club. Nitro/gas cars are not allowed and council will fine you if they catch you. There is a carpark next to the reservoir as well.

bjr250 23 Posted October 24, 2011 Had a good afternoon guys. Really enjoyed running some cars that I haven't run in ages (some of them years). Kumi had a good time as well, even running my Mini and Skyline. It was great to meet you Johann. I always enjoy running with new people. It was great to catch up with you Mark, Paul and Morgan. I thought that the Skyline was hard to drift around (over and above my lack of skill) and I worked out why this afternoon. I forgot that I had that chassis set up to run grip originally and the diffs are still open and not locked up. Up for another run soon but I know that I have other commitments on that weekend.

yellowscott 0 Posted October 27, 2011 Cheers Scott. Any F1's in that vast collection of yours? Sorry about the slow reply Paul. Keep forgetting to read this section lately. I do have a few f101, f102, f103 & f201's. Have you tried yours yet? Looks like you guys have been having some fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjr250 23 Posted October 29, 2011 That's funny Brad. How to build a drift car... Step 1. Lock rear diff. I knew there had to be a reason that the tyres were new and the chassis un-run I just didn't remember until after I got home the other afternoon as I built it up about 5 years ago and never finished it off (body is still unfinished as the cockpit set hasn't even been started). I built that chassis to display the body mainly but I never got around to building the runner (it is still NIB as a R35 GTR Kit). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retro rules! 1 Posted October 30, 2011 I'm keen some vintage dirt fun next weekend. Forecast isn't great for the week though. Let's hope it stays away as im keen for a "real" vintage off-road meet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's hope it stays away as im keen for a "real" vintage off-road meet. yeah, I agree, a vintage off-road meet would be great. I'll be bringing my galaxy marui (my first r/c car and all) and a few others from the era. So where are we going to meet? I'll start the ball rolling by picking Thornside (although have never been there), any takers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
