Tamworth

[jimmy]

Just sent an online entry in for Tamworth along with John Price - but I read the rules and apart from not having sent off for my 2010 brca licence yet, I've also lost my wallet a couple of weeks with my 2009 licence in there :(
Will I have to sack this race off? I don't think my new licence will come in time and like I said, I don't have my old (existing) one.

Any ideas? These micro lads don't mess about - I don't wanna get on the wrong side of em :thumbsup:

Jimmy,

Sent this to John in a reply to his PM..

As Section Chairman you can bring your BRCA licence forms and cheques and give them to me on the day. Ill get them sent off on Monday but you are covered from the time you give all the paperwork to me :)

Hope that helps?

Wooo! Is Jimmeth making an appearance with the mighty Rough Rider:o:thumbsup:

[c0sie]

Wont need to ride the "rough" from what ive heard. Do Tamiya do a "Flat Tracker"? lol

[jimmy]

Rough dancer is long gone! sadly :( I'm still racing the Xray M18B Pro tho :thumbsup:

[Body Paint]

Woop!! Wouldn't it be ace if X-ray could make some specs :woot:

I once got hypnotised into believing I was wearing X-ray specs, except mine were broke and the bloke sat next to me wouldn't swap:thumbdown:... gutted :lol:

[c0sie]

I got hypnotised into thinking that ALL XRAY's were of the highest quality....then I saw an M18T :( :(

[jimmy]

lightyears ahead of those blitz things :thumbsup:

[Dalla]

Jimmy,

Just bought a M18T pro off fleabay, so it's good to hear you've still using the review car. I just bought it for a bit of fun, since there isn't really a micro "scene" up North. However if you have some setups/tips then I'd be very interested. Any changes from the last entry in the review?

A mini Tamworth report would be excellent :thumbsup:

Merry Christmas

[jimmy]

Mines running the jconcepts rc18 buggy shell now which fits pretty well. I've also just made a wing for it (the jconcepts mini wing was a little small) - the wing makes a big difference (from having no wing I mean).
I've got some Losi shocks on it to try out - but not driven them yet so no idea if they're any better or not yet.

Not many setup changes you can do on the m18t pro but the wing was the best change I did to stabilise the car.

Best thing |I ever did to my M18b (other than sell it :p)was add loads of lead :thumbsup:

What time do we have to be there? I seem to remember it was about 8am:o, but I cant seem to find a timetable listed anywhere:confused:

[gaffer]

Hi, 8 is advisable mate. see you there.

John/Jimmy,

You need to bring a table and chairs to the venue as TRRAC are unable to supply any.

Id get there for 8am, and remember your licence forms and cheques if you still dont have your cards :)

Is there a model shop in attendance and do they sell lipo's? My cells haven't really been run for a couple of years and are a bit badgered - would be good to run lipo tomorrow if I can get my hands on one.

[sldmodels]

Not seen Wim have any lipos on the day, but that doesn't mean he wont' have any. Best thing to do is give him a bell asap so he can put some to one side for you, as he's got a but of a long drive upto Tamworth.

Come see me if you want to borrow a couple and you use Deans, I have a few lipo's spare that won't be used tomorrow if you need any. They should hopefully fit in a M18.

[jimmy]

Sorted chief! that would be most excellent if I can (and they fit) - my buggy is a bit slow even in the kitchen. :lol:
I hope it goes alright tomorrow as I've not raced it for aggggggges - last time it got first in the B, I think tomorrow I'll be lucky to scrape into the bottom final :thumbsup:

[terry.sc]

Is there a model shop in attendance and do they sell lipo's? Been racing at Tamworth today and Wim had plenty of lipos with him.

[stox217]

jimster! Wim has some in stock as he was at tamworth today with his shop! :thumbsup:

Jim/John,

Was good to see you both yesterday :)

Hope you both had a good time and hopefully see you both at some more of the Micro Nats?

Cris :)

[jimmy]

Awesome track, really enjoyed it. Took a few races to get used to driving my little Xray buggy but by the end of the day I was really happy with it. Car was a bit slow even with the kind assistance of frogger with his mighty lipos! :thumbsup:

[Ben Turner]

Didn't manage to make this one, couldnt even leave the house due to the snow :(

Jimmy, did you take pictures/do a report? Or were you concerntrating on racing for once??:p

[sldmodels]

Heard it was a good meet, sorry I missed it, but I was spending a small fortune elsewhere. Managed to strip my front drivebelt with my pinion's grub screw of all things.

Cheers Chris,
I didn't have the best of luck with reliability and my brushed system was even slower than Jimmy's :blush: But still it was fun.
Sadly the next 2 rounds are 210 and 270 miles away from here, although my calendar is free on both dates.....:lol:

[jimmy]

I could be up for some of that business mr price - lemme know if you fancy it. Mine will be faster next time :D

[twisty]

It was a pleasure good sir :thumbsup:

Your car actually looked quite good going around but I think it's time for an all mighty oOple review of the LRP Shark with the new extended SC chassis! :woot:

I think you might be right there mr.frogger - but the xray does at least stand out a bit in the crowd of lrp dancers! :lol: Still - been eyeing the sharks up I must admit.

The Xray is really nice but when I switched to the LRP I was surprised at what I had been missing out on :lol:
