Hot or supershot I meant. Loved the supershot, got it's stickers still all over an old battery box. Took pics of my maxima, els and 8th serpent road car the other day. Ask bag for a look, he has em on his phone in think

Ah that makes sense Andy, sorry I misunderstood you there !

For some reason a Hotshot or Supershot has never come my way... unless someone has one out there that wants to part with one ? I'd run it in the series if i got one...

So, if you do make an appearance Andy, which of your collection would you run ?

, dont forget to get some new wishbones as spare as I wouldnt want to snap another one when you jump the track into my Lazer ZX.

Pity I wont be able to get there to do it. Last one was fun.

Personally I would go for a 10.5 mate as when I raced the egress the car when it was released it couldnt really handle more than a 15 turn before the rear gearbox disintigrated.

An xls or optima mid probably, unless I get the re re fav

Completely agree with you James - when i thought about it more i came to the same conclusion - so ive been asking people if they have a old 10.5 they want to sell me for the last week or so

I think the gearbox will be the least of my breakage worries though with the Egress... i'm kinda kacking my pants about running one, im thinking of asking if i can have my own heat to try to cut down on accidents

Got loads of spares though, and the Top Force will be on hand if it gets silly

If I thought that would help cut down on your accidents I would arrange it, not just for vintage either!

Cant wait for this now, certainly going to be a more diverse range of cars this year. A lot of which i'm really looking forward to seeing on the track

Im looking forward to this now. Egress is being built back up. One-way out, full time 4wd in. 10.5 Losi ready to rumble. Box of spares packed and ready. Just need a stick-pack Lipo ( thanks to Dave J for the advice ) and im ready

Top Force Evo needs a quick rebuild as the 'spare' runner, but should manage that before the first race in Nov. And the Rally car is almost done as well, as thats pretty much the same chassis as the Top Force.

Frightengly, i might actually be ready well before the first race... unlike normal

peetbee · #56 26-09-2011

I thought that Matt, but the Lazer lasted 1 and a 1/4 laps Friday before the steering arm snapped!
I also realised how slow the standard acoms servo is so will be swapping that out pretty sharpish!

Caine · #57 26-09-2011

Top Job Matt!
Mine are going back together okay as well, just need some wheels and tyres for my worlds and drive shafts and slipper plates for the XX.
I just hope they both last longer than a lap and a half!
Bet that was aright pain in the arse Pete!

peetbee · #58 26-09-2011

I'd rather it happened then than in one of the vintage rounds, still thats what this vintage is about, will the car's last 5 minutes our not?!
