3 offers for spurs, so defo get youself down for a easter egg :thumbsup:

Aye aye Cap'in, will certainly help you mate, don't keep stripping spurs anyway - will try and resolve whatever issue is causing that and prevent it.

Just seen the forecast for Saturday and its looking good, fingers crossed Sunday is same if not better!!!!

i'm thinking it could be the nyloc nut loosening, replacing mine with a new nut after every rebuild solved the issues i had, and i stuck a extra nut on for good measure aswel, so no chance of it working loose.


captainslow..... when you've removed the stripped spurs, is the center hole out of shape or deformed?

I'm pretty sure Si will help lay the track as well. I think he was asking if he turns up at 8:30 is there any objects to him having a run around a non built track until you guys get there?

Yes it is, it melted to the shaft first time! Maybe its slipping excessively??

sorry for hijacking the thread!

i'd say your problems the slipper loosening and not the motor mount moving, replace the nyloc with a new one, and for extra security, put an extra nut on it and lock the nuts up tight to each other once you've reset your slipper, you should be ok then:thumbsup:.

cheap nyloc nuts ... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAINLESS-STEEL-NYLOC-LOCK-NUTS-M3-MODELS-50-PACK-WOW_W0QQitemZ150166849230QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_DIY _Material_Nails_Fixing_MJ?hash=item150166849230&_t rksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3 A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

Just lock the nut up so the slipper is tight, thats all I do. I threadlock the screw in, and have never changed the nut.

Edit: The reason I do this, is the SX spurs melt as easily as cheese, so I don't allow my slipper to slip which would generate enough heat to do it. What I would do is use Losi Kevlar spur and slipper pads, I may do this once I have some money to buy some spurs.

Simon - the track is closed until the layout for the day has been built, so please do not turn up early and practice on it.

Once the track is built, then feel free to practice as much as you are able to.

Thanks

Chris

Unfortunately there are parts of the track still under construction ( Tarmac corner & some of the grass sections have been treated) these will be shuttered off for the meeting.
I should think most people will be down before 10am, So as soon as the track is laid we can get practice under way. So the quick answer to your question is no, Sorry

Sorry Chris, didn't see your reply :blush:

Fair enough responces!!! See you all Sunday, hope the weather is better than it is on Anglesey at the minute!!
