I've decided to close the shop and come down for this one. So all you 2WD guys can be safe in the knowledge that you will not be last

I've got rid of the nasty rtr rubber and got the Schumachers yellows you recommended Tony so I'll be there with with the ST ready to race! Andy's just gone out and got himself a truck as well... We'll have more trucks than buggies if this carries on!

What tyres were you guys saying to use in the wet? I thought you'd said losi but can find any on t'interweb...

Hi Andy, on the truck we were using Losi step pin in red compound in the wet or damp conditions, I have a brand new pair in my bag ready for you on Sunday.
Don't forget that this Sunday is control tyre on the rear of your 2wd buggy, ballistic buggy greens when wet and ballistic buggy white's when dry.

Hi

If you are buying new you ideally you want a leisure/marine battery with a deep charge/discharge cycle. Standard car 12V batteries aren't really designed for the continuous discharge we impose on them whilst charging our cells from them and don't tend to last very long.

Anything from around 80A/Hours upwards will be more than enough for a days racing. If there are more than one of you using it you might want to go a little bigger just to be on the safe side as 110A ones are not a lot more expensive. I find caravan shops often sell them at a decent price or plenty of on-line places. Halfords do them but I have always found them more expensive. You will need a proper charger for it though as a standard car 12V charger will kill it fairly quickly.

However if you have a old 12V car battery lying around then I would use that until it dies.

Rob

I did hear talk of the ballistic on Sunday Tony... Should of been paying closer attention, I've only got ballistic greens! Doh! I bought some whites from a Steve on Sunday but I thought they were Schumacher, I'll have to check!

I'm Dean btw... Andy is the other one! I had the truck on Sunday!... I'm gonna start signing off on my posts to prevent confusion!

Squidzilla, I've been using a secondhand battery I got from Silverlake for £20 for almost six months and is been fine... Never managed to run it down, but I think you can pick up leisure batteries for about £80 so depends what you prefer.

Dean!

That's the attitude. Y'know, out of the 4 times I've taken my truck, could you guess how many times I've been the only one with their truck? If I sound like it pissed me off, then I sound correct.

Don't fret though, the truck is undergoing a mod or two and shall return to give you bastards a mobile chicane, the likes of which you've not known since last I attended.

Ha ha, don't think we've met yet I assume you're Lionel, you won't miss me I'll be the unintentional second half of that mobile chicane due to being lapped by Dan and Steve! and Andy won't be there this week so I should be more easily distinguishable!

I thought you guys were like Ant and Dec - you only ever see them together and no-one knows which one is which

You should worry - somebody mistook me for Mikey Scott once

Hopefully see you tomorrow

Rob

I won't be there this week either, I have a big split in my windscreen, So, until that's done, I'm going nowhere.

Truck mod should be done by next weekend though, and It'll want testing

Keep the faith Lionel and push on with that mod... I might not be
around next week but there seems to be a few of us now so it will happen at some stage!!

Also would any of you good men be able to show me how to break in/set a ball diff in my 210 buggy tomorrow as I have taken out the RTR gear diff as I have a sneaking suspicion that it may as dry as a nuns ***** and I have no diff oil or seals (Will be visiting MB models shortly after writing this)
