Anybody want a Pulse 2.4 ghz RX for £10? Bought new, never run but cracked the case due to wicked strength tape so could not return it.

Can bring tomorrow ...

Scott.

Chris, sorted out My Thundershot (body strip and repaint and electrics) .... when will yours be sorted?

Found the original Body for my FF03, cleaned up nice - may run it this week :-)

Scott.

It certainly will - can't decide on Hornet or Manta Ray. Out of interest, how did you strip the body? I would like to repaint the Hornet before I sell it

Sell the Hornet? Haven't you just got it? The only reason it was easy to strip is due the previous painter having used the incorrect paint and it had already started to flake.

I may bring the Thundershot down this Friday for a run .... it has a brushed system installed with mid range gearing and a 19t Double ... gives it real zip but not massive top end ...

What are you guys planning to run this week?

Scott

He's doing it as a side business, a way of testing out a whole bunch of old RC cars without forking out a whole lot of money. I like the idea.

BTW, feeling the itch to try off-road again...

Haha, not really a business but I am buying/selling old Tamiya's at the moment and would like to give each one at least one run. Problem is I risk getting too attached - already decided to keep the F1 I've just bought!

Definately sticking with clubman and im not going to jump sides, but I want to try running Hornet/Manta Ray in 2wd guise to see if they are suitable for stock buggy.

If I do run the stock buggy class it will be alongside clubman

Bailing is the wrong word, I may try the occasional off road race but Clubman will be my main class for the foreseeable future.

Chris, good to hear ... let me know when your F1 is sorted... I've fitted the new front bumper for the 6 wheelers and taped the body

Silver with Tamiya esc of course.

Scott.

Silver can already installed, just need some foams - I've seen some Zen ones on Ebay for £12/£14 inc wheels. Soft front, super soft rears. Shell is nasty so will either strip and repaint or get the Alfa Brabham shell.

How well do rubber tyres work by the way?

Cheater

On a similar note I was amazed how grip the wet tyres give! Made my car a little twitchy but that's the way of the future for Clubman tourers. With the right setup the lil TL01 would be way quicker.

I've done a little research and found out what compound the wets are .. I have some slicks of the same compound to try on the FF03 this week ...
