My Focus shell has arrived at last HPI have certainly made a good job of it, nice detail and a decent sized rear wing might help with the jumps ...

Just gotta slap a Mcrae paint job on it and we ready to go .....

Just noticed the Poll has more 'for' than 'against' at last !!!

My entry has just arrived.... came with a free car too

Bodyshell is genuine 80's rally car, however the paint job on it is shocking - i might have to do a quick outside blow-over to hide the worst of it... Im not going crazy with it though, i have a feeling there will be enough 'rubbing' as it is :P

I need some stickers as well.... help cover up the sprayjob

Matt, bring it with you, we are intrigued. I guess that the TA02s will be staying in the attic a bit longer!

So an RS200 Dave, cool!

The chassis is just about ready to roll, but I still haven't had chance to make it up to Steve's to collect my shell

Nope, will still use the TA01/2 chassis for Rallycross, means i can keep some spares for that & the Top Force. Plus its a vintage chassis, for a vintage Rallycross shell

Yup, i agree Dave

It would be nice if we could get videos on all classes this winter, so put on here to show people what we do.

Has someone got a decent video camera & tripod we could borrow ? Put it in the corner and video away

TA05 received from DCM, stripped, cleaned, reassembled, electrics installed & bodyshell cut out. Just waiting on some bodyposts and other odds n ends and it'll be ready to roll

Dave, I er, now no longer have those fastrax tyres so was going to chuck on a set of rallyblocks off my micro

What tyres is everyone else going to run?

Good to see you got your going at last Pete .....

I put new yellow rally blocks on my car but then felt guilty cos of the grip I had compared to everyone else so they've been replaced with an old knackered set of the same compound for a bit more slippage .....
