Went out with the car for only the second time at the weekend, after i picked up a used example. All i can say is wow, the thing is awesome, by far my best performance with a 2wd!!. Well done fabs.

Just wondered if there was anymore news with the g-box situation as it seems to have gone a little quite on this thread?

Hi guys,

Just to let you know that I'm on it for the gearboxes, doing my best to be able to provide them to the UK drivers before the national.

Great news on the g-box fabs, on a different note, anybody know where I can get hold of the aluminium rear 1 deg hubs, as I have got the plastic basic items which are 0 deg I believe?

Fabs, don't get me wrong .... but our Nationals have been started allready. Second one within two weeks.
I know you were able to find someone to make some gear-boxes but only a limited amount, just to help out the UK-topdrivers ...
but could you give us some info on the time-frame about a new batch of G-boxes?

It's just that ..
I'v e been running my kit all winter now and i went great .. apart from eating out more then one Idler-gear, and it's getting an expensive gearbox this way
Now, the problem is that if the G-B would fail on me definitly ...or would ruin my last idler-gears ... then I'm toast.

I allready have to look out for a spare car (prolly a 22) just in case of the worst case scenario. Or maybe having to rebuild the car to the non-MCS version?

Just to clarify things.

Mike is going to have enough gearboxes made by a guy he knows only to make sure that the UK guys have a gearbox for the first national.

I have done everything I could to be able to provide EVERYONE a gearbox before that, but there have been some unavoidable and unexpected delays. This sub contractor however seems a lot more serious than the others so I am comfident about the fact that they're gonna get them done.

There will be a gearbox for every kit I have produced, I'm HOPING before the end of april, it's out of my hands however, I'm applying as much pressure as I can to get them done by my sub-contractor.

So please be patient.

We know you do the best you can, fabs.
But you'll surely understand that we are anxious to drive that fab-ulous car of yours

As we allready were, we'll still be patient

Any news on how the g-box is looking for the end of April fabs?.

Please don't interpret this as impatience, just my g-box gave up the ghost at the weekend, and i'm booked in for the north west regional series which has plenty of reserve drivers.

Basically i don't want to take up a place when somebody else could race and i could let the relevant clubs know in advance.

The next round is May 1st

Thanks, Andy

I'm gonna try to fix such a crooked gearbox (or make it usable again).
If it works out OK I will post some pics here.

I would like a good clay- and a good dirt-track-setup for the MCS.

Or could someone tell/explain me how I should differ the setup, which adjustments I should make to Change the car from a
n astro-setup to dirt- or clay-setup.
I have very little experience about driving on dirt or clay and none driving it with my MCS

thx in advance.
