Anyone up for racing this week?
We'll be running the vintage buggies as well as the usual classes, so the more the merrier!

I'm def gonna be there, though the Thundershot is not a runner currently...was gonna fix it last night but had to work instead so didn't get chance.

Took a quick look at it though and had forgotten that it has no steering currently...the splines on the now cheese servo horn have stripped!

Haven't had chance to boil off any tires either...but have dug out the kit tyres off the B44...my plan...I might make the final if I spend the evening bodging it together races...and that assumes I can find some ingenius fix for the servo horn!

I'll get the keys by the way, and I guess we'll be needing a symathetic track for the old timers this week I'll get my thinking cap on!

Ill be there, might be a bit late as i have a meeting with a client beforehand though.

Top Force is all ready to go, i went brushed & Lipo in the end. Havent actually had time to test it yet, so fingers crossed.... Looks damn fine though

I managed to get the Top Force running this lunchtime - worked first time

Im running Dave's old Vampire 5200 lipo, MRT VX speedo and a new old stock Top Models 14 double. Accelerates well, but struggles for top end as they do. Suprisingly stable and rides the bumps well - i didnt have time to do the old Team anti-squat mod - but not a lot of steering. Cant find my stash of one-ways so its running full 4wd. It would be better with a one way. Should be fun tonight though, its been Donkeys Years since i last ran a Top Force in anger.

The 'new' Dyna Storm is in bits again, mods to the wishbones and new shock towers. Ive been too busy to do much to it recently tbh. Ill try to get back on it for Xmas after ive sorted James order of Lazer parts
