Think much closer to home

:blush: I should be ashamed, 4WD and can only keep up with the FFs...

.......

Dario Francetti?

Kolin Macrey?

Even closer my friend. Only the surname is printed but I believe he answers to the title "Earl Slowchops":p

Jayson Blato?

see previous comment;)

Burns? Burrns? Borns?

First name: Gui

Now I'm confused... someone in China has replicated my Mondeo in lexan? :eh?:

Wilks

And painted it blue

Hoy? Spelled Hoi?

wollsten ?

Sham Car shells rock! I have transplanted the Aodi to the TT01 :lol:

The TT01 was better behaved than the TA03F ... (benched to the back of the workshop!)

Cut the TT01 arms and put some 2mm threaded in between the two halves so I have slight toe in ...

Raped the Helicopter for an S3050 digi for the steering and put softer springs on the back (thanks for the advice there Guy)

And the cussing did not originate from you lot ...

Scott ...

Sorry couldn't help it, was curious :)

Looks good!

I think I'll be sticking with Toyota for now... :) Grown to love the AE86 look.

You can get a part that gives you more toe in... But I guess that is less fun ;)

Doh - didn't really keep in much of a secret did I??? Quite handily, it also came with 2 adjustable rear wings.

Scott- when I had my TT01 I fitted the adjustable steering turnbuckles, got them from GeeDees

Local Tamiya parts! Cool great tip Chris :)

No probs, also well done on getting 100 replies on this thread you started:thumbsup:

lol, thanks. But not too difficult when I easily make up 50% of the replies ;)

and me the other!

So are you booking in as Chris "Great Prik" Petch this week sir? :lol:

Only if I can have a car built:mad:

so ..... after my past few weeks racing buggys being somewhat disasterous i have decided to try to inject some fun into my friday nights and as from next friday i shall be racing my TL01 in the clubman class. i will be using a 17t brushed motor but geared right down with a 19t pinion so as not to gain any advantage on the streight. im looking forward to participating in some gentelmanly racing without getting my my knickers in a twist like i did this week :( sorry chaps the red mist seemed to be with me all night :thumbdown:

Nice one mate! Gui is running his TL01 with a 15t so I would just run the same gearing as him.

I think I might race my TA02 - whilst the Shamta Ray did provide some entertainment for people, it was a little lonely at the back:(

Should be running 13t brushless with 20t pinion so hoping for some good wheel-wheel racing between the 3 of us :thumbsup:

FWIW I am not sure that I will keep on running the TL01 with the 15T. Might go back to the Ansmann motor.

The 15T has caused a number of overheating speedo issues that have me worried for the long term health of the speedo... :( If I run the car slowly for too long it shuts itself down.

PS: If I can figure out how to mount a fan in there somewhere (the electronics are all packed inside the chassis) I may go that route.

PPS: FWIW I am running standard gears (no speed kit) and a 21T pinion with the HPI motor. With the 21T I did run speed tuned gears.

Hope you lads had a good time this friday, couldn't make it this week ... Got an old 19t double for my tt01 now as the silver can was getting left behind ... Hope to be down with you all this coming friday for some Tamiya tourer fun .... Wil aim to give the ff03 a point around the carpet as well ... God I love the old Tamiya ...


When are we running the holiday buggies or better still the lunch boxes?

Scott

I haven't got an old Tamiya buggy. But do have an old Traxxas... be warned though, it isn't that slow :)

Challenge Tamiya M06
 

Stubo and I are having a Sivlercan 27T M06 shoot out hopefully this Friday ... Im the VW and him being the RS Carrera ... :p

Brilliant, love the beetle. :)

Too nice ;) Another car to worry about not damaging :thumbsup:

I guess with a silver can I risk major damage ... may bring something a little faster I think


Scott.

HPI Firebolt! :) Bout 7 quid, run one in mine and I keep up with Chris' 13T sensorless.

When I ran my 13T in the mini, it was about on par with the black can (23t?).

This friday I will be running 27t in the Shamta Ray and 13T brushless in Shergar

The FF03 has a 13T installed and the 6 wheeler is fast enough ... maybe bring those instead ... ;)

Scott.

Bring em all mate - especially your Thundershot:D

The FF03 will be an interesting comparo against the TA02 and TL01.

Hmm, Lunchbox? love to run it ... has a larger wheelie bar fitted .. but people may get frustrated I feel ... :o
