Hmmm.

Was planning on going but not sure now.

Only got the D4 and the Soda (RC10T is currently having its new 'stretched' chassis made), the Soda hasn't had its full width bumpers fitted yet and only has micro spike tyres and the D4 has no spare front bulkheads (and once again HPI have none in stock so its on back order. They really are hopeless!).

Oh and its f*!$&*g cold too!

Maybe just turn up to laugh!!
my x6 should be ok its has a good chassis which is fully enclosed...
If we or i lol can clear the straight and the first right hander and around the last corner before straight we should be fine:o

I've just finished bashing about in the ice with my new 6.5 turn brushless motor and speed control hoping to start racing at goshen when it starts again. Anybody know when that will be?

The only thing is I don't drive as i'm only 15 so i would need to be dropped off and picked up so that makes it more difficult for me to attend races that aren't very close to me. (I live in bury)

I took my car to the track a couple of times in it's stock form but it was very slow. I just can't wait till the snow goes so that I can take it down there now that it's been upgraded and it would help if my new aluminium drive shaft was in stock as the plastic one that comes with the car just won't handle my new motor!
