I had a superglue repair day myself!

Having destroyed a Bmax front shock tower and gearbox casing in round 1 I switched to my Bx and in round 2 also crushed/knackered part of the front shock tower. I glued it up and it survived round 3 (despite being mangled enough to have knocked the shock screw at an angle and out of line!) before my electrics melted a Lipo (bit scary!), so I glued the front shock tower mount on the gearbox casing of the Bmax back on and it survived round 4 and the final!

Was well impressed with the glue, think I know why it makes my eyes water whenever the lids off it, it's pretty strong stuff!

Anyway, point is, it wasn't only pred's breaking, any car can (without the glue!!) so I wouldn't suggest it's a weak car from yesterday!

I bent two front screws on the hinge pin blocks, bent a front shock shaft and cracked a front wheel but still enjoyed the day

On another plus from my point of view, I love running FTD for once!

FTD is ace, I love it too.

Just think Tom, you may have been in a mid to bottom final, despite having the fastest time!!! What broke in your final, I heard you saying it wasn't turning one way properly and castor is all over the place, still wasn't catching you, was busy racing Lee - which was ace fun!

The front C hub cracked, so there was only the top screw holding it in.

FTD is ace, we should use it more often

Hello, just want to echo the sentiment on this thread, the surface is ace to race on, just enough grip but still allows power slides!

Really pleased with my day, TQ'ing every round up until round 4 where my Tamiya 501x was unfortunetly rear ended and broke before the race even started! I suppose S**t happens but I felt it put me off my stride for the final.

Just could'nt get into the previous rythym in the final and lost ground to the leading three.

The 501X ran really well kitted out with Losi shocks for the first time, even though it did destroy FOUR cooling fans on the speedo

I can't believe a current F1 driver is not employed to drive the Tamiya as it is equal to the rest of the cars currently on the market??

Maybe they will sponsor me...............



But we don't want that!

I think you'll find I TQ'd round 2 by 2 seconds over you Damo!!!

Shame I only completed 2 laps after Round 2 for the rest of the day, but it down to experience!

If we ran FTD I would have had 5 points (a4 and a1) so would have started higher than 8th so it didn't work out for me!!

Towards the end of the day as well I noticed a few corners were 'bashed' and out of place and actually made the track quicker IMO
