Oooooo a worthy contender

Dan it will come together very fast when all my parts arrive

The questions gotta be, who's running what under the bodies tho? Brushed? Nimh?

Nosram Matrix esc so i can run either brushed or brushless on the day
Lipo saddles either way, 2.4 radio as it just makes sense

Sp gt2 pro not sure what motor yet and again lipos and 2.4ghz like gainsy said. Have you taken delivery of the new toy yet gainsy?

Not as yet but it will have a 6.5t in it when i do :D

What do you use to fit the lipos in? My Cat 2000ec has got a 98 chassis on it and I ve yet to work out how to fit my saddle lipo in it:(

I used a cat sx3 lipo tray, posts & straps, cut the tray in half & used the rear mount hole on the chassis & re drilled the front one

Anyone know if there will be any shops selling vintage parts there on the day.

I'd love to have a root through all the old stuff at DMS.

There will be a RC Auto jumble where racers can sell their vintage parts/cars

I'm finding it hard to fit the stuff I'm bringing in the family suitcases let alone if I have a few 'kid in a sweetie shop' moments at any kind of RC auto jumble sale!.....besides, surely John Weston's dad will buy everything before we can! :thumbsup::D

Stu, you're 5 posts ahead of me! Must refrain from typing random cr4p......

That's part of getting old mate ;)
Great lineup fella, see you on the 26th :)

Cheers for that :) I ll order the bits and see if I can modify them to use on my 98 chassis.

Dan, what are you using to hold the shorty lipo in your XLS??

Some strategically placed pieces of fibreglass stuck to the chassis

Hi all. To clarify:

Attendees will be bringing stuff to sell and that has nothing to do with the charity fundraising.

If anyone wants to come simply to set up a shop for their own profit, this is unacceptable. This is not a profit making event. This is a charity event. I've made this clear elsewhere and now I making it clear on here.

Anyone wishing to bring supplies along for attendees need to speak to A1 or Me. We will be wanting a charitable contribution in return if something can be arranged.

Thanks, John

Should be a great day boys ;)

Jiffy

Glad this day has been organised ..... gave me the motivation to source some much needed, and definitely 'getting harder to find', parts to get the XX4 up and running.

Not as prestigious as the Optima's, Cat's, Tamiya's and Lazer's that will be strutting their stuff but, somebody has to lower the tone! :p

By far my favourite 4WD ever!! Excited about giving it a Brushless Makeover!

I'm waiting :lol:
