Yeah bring your stuff and we will get it sorted. I have a nice 85 watt iron that we can use to get the connectors fitted.
Maybe the soldering god will be making an appearance this week to :thumbsup:

9.5 isn't slow, particularly with the advanced timing turned up :woot: - some of the best drivers only use 8.5s:thumbsup:

9.5 will be fine. the cats have a tendency to wheelie after jumps with powerful motors in so it should be nice and easy to drive.
We are still at the sportshall in west bridgford so bring your stuff down and we will get you up and running :thumbsup:

Yeah and don't let Chris near your diffs....
I think mr ken is pretty good at soldering now due to all the practice he got when running brushed motors. Motor change every five minutes :D

Well i've only killed 2 diffs so far, im now quite good at re-building them:thumbsup:
Mr Ken did get plenty of practice when I used to killed brushed motors, but is now out of practice since going brushless and not killing them.
