Default tips!!!
Put all your rc tippage here. I'll go first... I'm sure 99% of you do it, but its a life (and cash) saver. Put your bodyclips on wing endplates or bodyshell, its better than crawling on the floor searching for them

depending on the size of the body clips the front and rear turnbuckles is another good place to stick em

If you show up at the supermarket and you have left your shopping list at home take a look around the trolly and basket areas, you'll more than likely find a used one that someone else has finished with.

Keep your toolbox tidy.

OK, first corner crash, big mess..

Do you,

a) Throw your transmitter onto the ground from the Rostrum and storm off in the huff, or.......
b) Keep going anyway. Stay calm and persist to the end....you never know....

Of course it's the latter. Just stay real calm, get your head down and head for the chequered flag. You can win a race from dead last.

Spray all of your cars in the same paint scheme ,
so that if your wife ( if you have one! ) sees you going backwards & forwards to your workshop with your fleet , she'll think it's the same car !!
Oh & +1 for get stuff delivered to your work address !!

True, I missed the start of my heat because of electrics, 3 mins later I was fastest, then electrics went again.

My tip of the day, you know when you open your pit box and you tyre glue has fallen over and glued everything together well not anymore. Put one half Velcro on the bottle and the other part on the inside of your pit box/tray then attach bottle to the Velcro it won't tip over now. I thank you .

Not sure if your lipo is charged ?
Simply place the connectors on your tongue and let the pleasant tingling sensation confirm or deny your suspicions
Tested my six cell last night it was proper buzzin
