Default And another thing.

I noticed the part numbers on RC10 bits........Same number over the years but the quantity is getting smaller. We'll have to buy our own soon.

Because for one reason or another that is now my paint scheme. Plus my wife will never tell its a new car because it looks just like the old ones....

Anyway I think it looks great. Thanks Rog!
Not sure about the stagger ribs on wide rims, guess I'll have to trim them down.

Bit annoying that there is no race meeting for a while to try it at!

There's a reason why it has to look like his old one....

Now I've just got to decide whether to sell or keep the Bmax. I'll be using its electrics for this, so the RC10 will still be running as a back up because DEX210 spares are like rocking horse sh!t.

Sell the Bmax before it becomes totally and utterly worthless Si
No spares no importer - no future
Glad I jumped ship to associated now I loved my yokomo but they let the uk down by not supporting us with updates and spares soon enough
If they had I would of stuck with em
I am now tempted with a durongo as I need something to beat you with
But as well painted as the shell is it looks pants like your others
However I respect the cunning used to disguise the car and congratulate you for moving into 2012 racing rather than running your cars that are older than most of burys members

Default Smart

I think it's smart looking and still manages to look retro, as all your cars do.

I will have some of your Bmax parts if you do decide to sell it Si.
Im sticking with mine so would be doing me a favour.

Thinking of selling the B4 now and sticking to 4wd, although just purchased a new shell for the AE.

I'm not retro - I'm just so far ahead it looks like I'm behind!

Anyway I guess the Yokomo will have to go, even though its never been run on its new chassis, as I've just spent £50 on every carbon bit going for a DEX210!
This car was a bad idea......

I reckon it's the best idea you had for a long time
We will miss you in 4wd
But when I get my Durango with matts new shell I will just have to beat you in 2 wd Insted
It's a shame mark hasn't returned
Imagine how hopeless we would be in 2 wd

Probably about the same as I did with the Yokomo, but without it sounding like a bag of spanners.
Which somehow seems wrong......

Doesn't look like a birds nest, doesn't sound like a bag of spanners!



Is a bit slow though - can't fit more than a 25t pinion which is way undergeared for a 10.5t so I'll need to track down a smaller spur.
