is the RC10 a stronger car than the Losi? ive only ran an owned a B4.1 since coming from 1/5 touring cars racing at mendip,very nice on road track.

not sure if really stronger as the car but the gear box diff and slipper are better in the losi xxx than the b3 better suited for brushless and a sc losi would be an ace conversion for it mmm would have to look into parts been messing around body building tonight (not what you think) with homemade vacuum form what you think bit basic plug only quick design to test the materials out

Its hideous!

The B3 gearbox is basically the same as the B4's. Only major change is the slipper clutch, which can be fitted to your B3. My 2 old RC10's use the same gearbox and slipper as your B3 and work fine though.

hmm double post...

Chris, reckon you could make an overtray for my SCTE? Just to keep the wheels from throwing water all over the electronics when its wet?

Cr3Ad 27-07-2011 09:53 AM

Si Coe 28-07-2011 01:34 PM

Howler 28-07-2011 02:13 PM

You need to hit them pretty fast, I managed to hit all 4 perfectly 3 times one time passing someone doing doubles! It's risky though as I found out after and totally over shot the landing!

See you sunday! I dont think it will be too busy because the oOple race is on this weekend,.

Si Coe 29-07-2011 01:41 PM

Only a couple of Bury people going to the Oople race, so shouldn't be that different to normal.

captainlip 29-07-2011 01:45 PM

Tbh last week we we about 5 regulars down! So this week should be better than last!

Unfortunately you haven't made "regular" status yet Matt :D

tisher 29-07-2011 02:02 PM

There will be four of us down on sunday. hopfully the transponders will work this time they were not that clever in the rain last time we raced

coleman758 29-07-2011 02:08 PM

captainlip 29-07-2011 02:12 PM

No Dave. Phil is most definitely a regular.


A regular what however is not something we should discuss on a public forum.......

PMSL at the thought of a bear with a tent :o

coleman758 29-07-2011 04:35 PM

Stop mentally abusing my tent! just wait till its raining! it will prove useful!

Si Coe 29-07-2011 04:43 PM

You do know we have a huge tent for the entire club to pit in, but nobody wants to go to the trouble of actually assembling it.
