I've only got 1 pair of kit tyres and they don't have enough tread. I will therefore be using Venoms front & rear. Haven't decided on motor but probably a 27T brushed.

Here are some photos - note the aluminium front shock tower:

I don't know about being on the back foot - Venoms are pants without additive, which I won't be running. I could always install my F1 rubber tyres

I've pinched too many parts from my Bandit, but it would be nice to race with guys I still have my original mid 90s body for it somewhere.

Get the bandit sorted ...

When are you going to get the Mardave sorted? I may put the original mardave motor in it and run a 4cell Nim in mine ...

1S + the stock G2 motor and my usual cheap no name ESCs. Got a new fast servo for it too, was concerned that a slow servo + 1S would be way too lethargic.

PS: I've come up with a paintjob plan... I don't know if I'll pull it off. If it looks like cack well, I'll just pretend that I meant it to look like total cack as part of a Team Shambles thingy.

Chris, the co-ordination of your carpet and curtains (I think they're curtains..?) is almost as good as your bodyshell and wing!

I chuffin hate those curtains! They actually go quite well with the primrose coloured alls, and the walls go well with the pub carpet, but carpet and curtains

When we re-decorated, we had a big dilema as we wanted to lighten up the hall way, but couldn't quite stretch to a new carpet and the pub carpet is in too mint condition to get rid of (Dave will vouch for me - he's walked down it!!!). Still it gives the house character - as to I

Plenty through the front tyres in this weather. What you need is 4WD. Usable power all year round.

Good laugh this week lads ... good to be with the Tamiya touring boys

Its 'me' for the foreseeable future I think. Also, good to stretch the legs on the Thundershot and iron out all the gremlins (binding steering servo for one and leaky rear shock - all sorted now)

TT02 being built as we speak as well ... Porsche RSR

... Laugh or what, I changed a steering servo out in my FF03 in a rush last night because it felt like it wasn't centring only to get home and realise the foam wheel had moved off the actual steering wheel hub and was binding up against the transmitter case, the centring spring was just not powerful enough against the friction of the foam to centre it the last 5-10 percent

Moved back and super glued now thank you very much ...

Scott.

Oops!

I should've warned you about that feature of the DX3c. Happened to me once...

It happened to me when I had a DX3e.

Other tip Scott: remove the foam and superglue your fingers to the wheel
