Great Night

[whites75]

Really enjoyed last nights racing even though my final finished prematurely snapping the wishbone, still a great night though ....well done to the young gun Isaac (hope I spelt it right) too for the A final victory, a really great driver sure to go onto bigger things

Really good group too, very helpful even for a minion like me with my 'L' plates on thanks to John for sorting me 'issue' out and cheers Jon for your coaching role, can I book you now for next time please and cheers Neal for also sorting me out

Thanks to all at the club for a great Friday night - roll on the next one

It was a good night and starting to get the hang of it myself again after 12 years away from RC racing. Have you got your spares sorted? They are a good bunch at Cullingworth.

I guess its like riding a bike pal, you never lose it, you just get a tad rusty and polish up a bit.......myself I have never raced before and it shows but I'm loving it, better late than never I guess

yeah got a few bits - just got back in now......I am a bit impatient and wanted to get my wishbone bought so I dashed over this morning after a job I had on so this afternoon I might be able to sit down and start the repair

[Sir Shawny500]

I broke a wishbone on the other side the meeting before! Lol. I'd forgotten how good the crack was at racing definitely got the bug again.

[J77MYF]

I enjoy the crack at cullingworth too. Friendly people, good banter and we'll run.

[whites75]

anyone any tips for getting my shock caps off - I used a set of small pliers to hold the shock barrel whilst I used another pair of pliers to try to unscrew the cap, but no joy, just bothered of gripping it too tight and damaging it - or are they strong enough to withstand brute force with the pliers to open them?

[Sir Shawny500]

If it's the plastic one's ive got some you can have bud. I used to put a screw driver through the cap hole and twist.

Have you not got the tools from the kit Phil? image.jpg

I will have in the box pal, although I didn't use them when I made them up from the kit......will have a look in daylight tomorrow once my brain has rested

[J77MYF]

If you can't find them I'm happy to give you a hand doing it next time Phil.

cheers Jim - appreciate it pal

[whites75]

well jim - I found them tools in my box......Christ what a clown I must come across as.......piece of bloody cake with the right tool .....yep I guess I am that right tool!!

anyway happy days, shock oil changed to some new oil and fitted aluminium shock caps brass bulkhead fitted, blue aluminium upper arm mount fitted to replace plastic one, blue aluminium bell cranks fitted cos I just like the look of them, new springs front and back and broken wishbone fixed/replaced too

got a few spare parts too to carry in my box and will add a few more bits as I get some cash, different springs, more tyres and a few other spare parts but for now I should be sweet for a while

[Sir Shawny500]

Good do matey! All set now.

[whites75]

[tommygun]

Fingers crossed, Trevor has actually said that he wants to do the next race! My god... I thought that day would never come. So hopefully we should be showing our faces.
