I'd hate to see how big the Hoover is??
What's that for??

Here's a clue
 

We (YORCC) just drive some bloody big peg style nails through (and into the astro) at RHR.

Drill the holes in the pipe first and then melt the outside to stop splitting. Just re-use the same holes over and over without problems if placed at convenient points.

i went down on sunday to have a look but withing 3 minutes its had a very rough sounding diff which was brand new. so untill the sand problem is sorted i wont be going as its 20 mins job to change and alot of work per heat sorry

let people know when the problem has gone or is much better

Oh that is a shame pal good job you didn't have to pay
Sand in your diff after 3 mins try putting your gearbox tops on or at least make sure you have sealed it

that was as sealed as it could get but from smooth as can be down to knotchy gratey noises in 3 mins.

i think the sand needs to settle more maybe some rain etc aswell

What buggy do you have??

mad monkey with all xpro bits on and b4 diff

Not being funny mate but you shouldent be going on the track without permision of roger,stu or si at the very least,as for the sand its been said enough times by various people at the club that the tracks NOT finished and the sand still needs brushing in!!!

well read on here that all brushing in had be done so only went down to have a look and see the surface/track

If your diff was new then its probably been slipping with the grip. Did you bed it in properly or just go out and hammer it? and was you'r slipper set correctly?

I took my x6 round while we were down there building the rostrum and after 10 mins the diff was exactly the same as when I started and there wasn't a speck of sand in the car. The grip levels are just right and the bumps and humps are spot on. I can clear the 4 sleepers in one, no problem :woot:.

diff wasnt new been in use with no problems since january and slipper was slipping enough to protect the drivetrain i know it was the sand ans i found a few grains in it which after a good clean and regrease was back to like new condition. only had a ligth dusting over the car though and next to no sand inside soim going to have to find a way to fully seal the gearbox from sand

I can't see how sand could have got in the diff.. Are you sure the gearbox was fasted together properly? It realy does sound as though the Diff was loose or the slipper was too tight for the grip???

What are we doing about the skirting around the track to prevent against the posts rog?

The track is closed
 

Yes, closed
Until we declare it fit to race on NO-ONE should be running on the track.

Lets get together on Saturday and do what needs to be done for a race on Sunday.....Leave your cars at home and bring your muscles.

Anybody got any re-bar we can cut up for pinning the hose ? (and some washers to weld on the end.)

We have concrete blocks and I have a jack and block and tackle to aid the lifting of the steps. Some-body with a towball on his car could help get them into position.

:confused:

I could get some large ish washers for you. What time we sayin saturday ? I can come for abit. Ill deffo be there sunda to race. :thumbsup:

I was going to quote those two too but you beat me to it :lol:. Great minds think alike ;)
