[Pacman]

Sounds great, just got to sort out which cars are reliable enough to run.

[DanB4]

I just booked in for the event after extending our UK family holiday by 5 days, we were originally flying back on the 25th which would have hurt!

Mrs. R is not amused...

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Robbiejuk]

Does Mrs R realise there is a big Clothing and homewares shop right next to the track? :D

Might cost you even more in the end Dan :-)

[DanB4]

I don't think anything would make her and the kids come up for the race, even a Tesco Extra!

They're just 'toy cars' to her...:confused:...I think I need to take her to a hypnotist.

[Peakey]

I've just bitten the bullit and booked the Procat in :thumbsup: now the race is on

[DanB4]

I can't wait :)

:p:woot::woot::woot::thumbsup:

[OptimaFan]

Lol, I hear the blades are getting sharpened in advance.

[gainsy]

My cat is ready to thrash the pants off you both :D :p :D

[Peakey]

Luckily for you Gainsy that won't get to feel the rath if my cat :p

[gainsy]

Yeah it will as it's 1993 so it's in the same group;)
Maybe i will bring along Lukes (oh soon to be my) procat along to play :D

[Essex2Visuvesi]

Looks like my superchamp will be outgunned from the off :p

[terry.sc]

My Cat2000 needs a little more work to finish it off. Just need a couple of bits to put it together.:blush:

http://www.oople.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=69094&d=1403645168

[gainsy]

Few ec's booked in already Terry so you will be in good company :)

[terry.sc]

I've already got an EC (http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=119794&sid=297), this is going to be a 2000 as I've got all the parts to replace the badly cut out aluminium shock mounts with upright ones.

For the 94-98 class I might even be tempted to bring out this:

[gainsy]

Yes bring forth the pred :wub

[DanB4]

My little Mid is nervous being up against all your Procat's, Top Forces and ZX-R's!

Justin, get building mate - we need to see it out of the boxes! :)

Terry, that Predator must be run, it's a work of art.

Stu, that paintwork is amazing - have to study it every time I see it. See you on the 26th! :)

[Peakey]

Yeah it will as it's 1993 so it's in the same group;)

Oooooo a worthy contender

Dan it will come together very fast when all my parts arrive

[J1mbo]

The questions gotta be, who's running what under the bodies tho? Brushed? Nimh?

[gainsy]

Nosram Matrix esc so i can run either brushed or brushless on the day
Lipo saddles either way, 2.4 radio as it just makes sense

[Peakey]

Sp gt2 pro not sure what motor yet and again lipos and 2.4ghz like gainsy said. Have you taken delivery of the new toy yet gainsy?

[gainsy]

Have you taken delivery of the new toy yet gainsy?

Not as yet but it will have a 6.5t in it when i do :D

[J1mbo]

Nosram Matrix esc so i can run either brushed or brushless on the day
Lipo saddles either way, 2.4 radio as it just makes sense

What do you use to fit the lipos in? My Cat 2000ec has got a 98 chassis on it and I ve yet to work out how to fit my saddle lipo in it:(

[gainsy]

I used a cat sx3 lipo tray, posts & straps, cut the tray in half & used the rear mount hole on the chassis & re drilled the front one

[bretts]

Anyone know if there will be any shops selling vintage parts there on the day.

I'd love to have a root through all the old stuff at DMS.

There will be a RC Auto jumble where racers can sell their vintage parts/cars

[DanB4]

I'm finding it hard to fit the stuff I'm bringing in the family suitcases let alone if I have a few 'kid in a sweetie shop' moments at any kind of RC auto jumble sale!.....besides, surely John Weston's dad will buy everything before we can! :thumbsup::D

[DanB4]

Stu, you're 5 posts ahead of me! Must refrain from typing random cr4p......

[gainsy]

Must refrain from typing random cr4p......

That's part of getting old mate ;)
Great lineup fella, see you on the 26th :)

[J1mbo]

I used a cat sx3 lipo tray, posts & straps, cut the tray in half & used the rear mount hole on the chassis & re drilled the front one

Cheers for that :) I ll order the bits and see if I can modify them to use on my 98 chassis.

Dan, what are you using to hold the shorty lipo in your XLS??

[DanB4]

Some strategically placed pieces of fibreglass stuck to the chassis

[Iconic]

Hi all. To clarify:

Attendees will be bringing stuff to sell and that has nothing to do with the charity fundraising.

If anyone wants to come simply to set up a shop for their own profit, this is unacceptable. This is not a profit making event. This is a charity event. I've made this clear elsewhere and now I making it clear on here.

Anyone wishing to bring supplies along for attendees need to speak to A1 or Me. We will be wanting a charitable contribution in return if something can be arranged.

Thanks, John

[jiffy]

Should be a great day boys ;)

[gainsy]

Closing date for Revival Entries is Sunday 20th July. That is 3 weekend's time so get them entries in guys

[rasher]

Glad this day has been organised ..... gave me the motivation to source some much needed, and definitely 'getting harder to find', parts to get the XX4 up and running.

Not as prestigious as the Optima's, Cat's, Tamiya's and Lazer's that will be strutting their stuff but, somebody has to lower the tone! :p

By far my favourite 4WD ever!! Excited about giving it a Brushless Makeover!

[Peakey]

Maybe i will bring along Lukes (oh soon to be my) procat along to play :D

I'm waiting :lol:

[gainsy]

I'm waiting :lol:

Haha it might have to be next year as i have put a lot of time into my cat 2000 turning it from a dog into a decent runner & as they are the same class i will probably stick with it for this meeting, i have been known to change my mind though at the last minute ;)
Have borrowed a fox & a boomerang winger as well :)

The Revival Wheelie Race currently stands at 27 entries.

This will be the Biggest Wheelie Race Ever!!!!

Please do try and put GHz Radio in your Wheelie if you can.

John

[rasher]

The XX4 is as ready as its going to be.....considering that its a fairly recent chassis, it still took nearly a full day to make the Lipo Straps and the Lipo Compartment Recesses ... all from recycled XXX Parts.

I've still got to tweak the Ball Diffs, Slipper, One Way and Shocks...... Is the track open on the Saturday for 'tweaking'? ..... anyone going down on the Saturday at all if the track is open?

I'm gonna be like a 'kid in an old model shop' seeing all these models next weekend! Can't wait!

Wish I'd still got my old Wild Willy for the Wheelie Comp!!!

[Peakey]

Congrats, Dan. How did the Optima do? Did you run it as well, or favored the Cat over it?

[Peakey]

Good stuff did the results get posted anywhere be interested to see what cars did well

[DanB4]

Congrats, Dan. How did the Optima do? Did you run it as well, or favored the Cat over it?

Henk, I took 3 cars. My CAT XLS, Turbo Mid Special and RC!0 Worlds.

I quickly realise dI had no time to run the 2wd so it sat on the pit table - then I kept having electrical problems with the Mid so I concentrated on the XLS which went well when I wasn't crashing :)

The Mid went well when the motor and esc decided to give me throttle!
