Santa Pod? Nooooooooo! Corners are great, the Shamcar can do them. its the feckin straight where it struggles to stay in a straight line and not crash!

The snapped gearbox on the straight was unfortunate, totally my fault as i forgot to check that the person who built it didn't build the rear end with toe-out

OMG, the Citreon 4C Rod Bull Wrold Rylla Cra has been handed down the Shambles family tree...! I hope the Litttlest Hobo H2 Pro is being built with a similar lack of attention to the correct location of important parts.

sorry Paul, i've obviously spent too much time talking to you as the littlest Hobo may have been build with a touch of OCD
(with the negligable exception of me not putting thread lock on the front wheel screws). I've measured the camber, set the toe, glued the tyres, carefully meshed the pinion, ran it unloaded for 30 mins and polished my tools afterwards!

I've even painted the shell in the same colour scheme as the truck, only to find that the orange paint used was a slightly different shade how am I going to cope?

This seems to be a common problem with your cars... Better check the Hobo to.

[Chris56]

Only Tamiya cars - the Hobo and the Losi both had the toe angle clearly labelled and were therefore idiot-proof.
The Tamiya's on the other hand just have an "L" on one of the rear hub carriers and an "R" on the other - what is that supposed to mean????

I am guessing left and right....

Hi Dave!
Please book me in for off road!
Thx!

[The Doctor]

Didn't Jimney Cricket have "L" and "R" on his wellies? Problem is that he always had them on the wrong feet as I recall.

Perhaps it using the same hub carriers as the "Grasshopper"

Not on my first couple of drives, but now I've done a bit more than that, changed the o-rings for softer ones like the ones I use in the Bandit's diff (the original Losi ones are really hard, I don't know if from age or they are just like that), used Associated green slime instead of grease on the o-rings, sealed the case with black silicone, and also sealed the screw heads with thread seal tape (a lil thing I learned long ago with after-market Traxxas compatible diffs).

If it still leaks... I'll just give up!

[Dave Dodd]

All of the above drivers are or will be booked, cheers despite the subject wondering off a little

[Chris56]

Hi,

We will be visting next week and I was wondering. It say's on your website we need to cover our shock towers (im guessing front). Do you sell covers track side?

Thanks Steven

[Chris56]

Hi, I believe Wes J+ has some for sale and he races most weeks.

Gaffa tape will also suffice.
