I'd still take the Camaro :)

Chris56 21-11-2013 07:04 PM

siddus74 22-11-2013 04:10 PM

Chris56 26-11-2013 07:36 PM

Looks interesting, wonder what the price will be. Looking at the chassis I think its 1s only.

Dave Dodd 26-11-2013 07:49 PM

Does look good 😃

cunawarit 26-11-2013 10:32 PM

It is a 1/12 sclale, so perhaps it is very light hence the 1S... Either that or a shorty, it is RTR so it could come with a 2S shorty.

The Doctor 27-11-2013 09:06 PM

I like that - although I do thing it should run a motor with way too much power to get the proper "steer from the rear" effect. :thumbsup:

siddus74 27-11-2013 10:50 PM

What are the clubman boys planning to run this Friday? .. Just installed a Silvercan etc in the F104 Pro and put a better steering servo in the Holiday buggy, so thats me taken car of for Friday ...:p

Scott.

cunawarit 27-11-2013 11:07 PM

The usual for me.

Chris56 28-11-2013 10:19 AM

TA01 with 13T brushless and FF01 with 27T brushed for me

Chris56 28-11-2013 10:20 AM

TA01 with 13T brushless and FF01 with 27T brushed for me. No Shamta Ray:thumbdown:

Chris56 28-11-2013 10:21 AM

How did that happen?

cunawarit 28-11-2013 10:50 AM

All you and your multiple Clubman rides, I'm going to have to get something other than a TL01 :)

Chris56 28-11-2013 12:20 PM

Im slowly building a collection - TA01, FF01, soon to restore a Manta Ray. Quite tempted with a TB02 next

cunawarit 28-11-2013 12:50 PM

Not tempted to go modern? TB04 or TT02?

Chris56 28-11-2013 01:20 PM

Sort of tempted but I want to keep my costs down. From what I've read though the TB03 is meant to handle like a dream.

cunawarit 28-11-2013 01:35 PM

Apparently so does the TT02: http://www.thercracer.com/2013/06/tt...ce-report.html

siddus74 28-11-2013 11:06 PM

Good to here .. the slow boat from china hasnt arrived with mine yet ....

siddus74 28-11-2013 11:07 PM

Anybody want a Pulse 2.4 ghz RX for £10? Bought new, never run but cracked the case due to wicked strength tape so could not return it.

Can bring tomorrow ...

Scott.

cunawarit 28-11-2013 11:28 PM

What body did you go for? Any upgrades?

Dibs:D

siddus74 09-12-2013 11:49 PM

Chris, sorted out My Thundershot (body strip and repaint and electrics) .... when will yours be sorted?

Found the original Body for my FF03, cleaned up nice - may run it this week :-)

Scott.

Chris56 10-12-2013 09:15 AM

It certainly will - can't decide on Hornet or Manta Ray. Out of interest, how did you strip the body? I would like to repaint the Hornet before I sell it

siddus74 10-12-2013 09:38 AM

Sell the Hornet? Haven't you just got it? The only reason it was easy to strip is due the previous painter having used the incorrect paint and it had already started to flake.

I may bring the Thundershot down this Friday for a run .... it has a brushed system installed with mid range gearing and a 19t Double ... gives it real zip but not massive top end ...

What are you guys planning to run this week?

Scott

cunawarit 10-12-2013 09:49 AM

He's doing it as a side business, a way of testing out a whole bunch of old RC cars without forking out a whole lot of money. :) I like the idea.

BTW, feeling the itch to try off-road again...

siddus74 10-12-2013 11:05 AM

Are you guys bailing on the clubman for a while then?

Scott.

Chris56 10-12-2013 11:19 AM

Haha, not really a business but I am buying/selling old Tamiya's at the moment and would like to give each one at least one run. Problem is I risk getting too attached - already decided to keep the F1 I've just bought!

Definately sticking with clubman and im not going to jump sides, but I want to try running Hornet/Manta Ray in 2wd guise to see if they are suitable for stock buggy.

If I do run the stock buggy class it will be alongside clubman

Bailing is the wrong word, I may try the occasional off road race but Clubman will be my main class for the foreseeable future.

siddus74 10-12-2013 11:30 AM

Chris, good to hear ... let me know when your F1 is sorted... I've fitted the new front bumper for the 6 wheelers and taped the body :(

Silver with Tamiya esc of course.

Scott.

Chris56 10-12-2013 11:53 AM

Silver can already installed, just need some foams - I've seen some Zen ones on Ebay for £12/£14 inc wheels. Soft front, super soft rears. Shell is nasty so will either strip and repaint or get the Alfa Brabham shell.

How well do rubber tyres work by the way?

siddus74 10-12-2013 12:20 PM

They don't ....

Chris56 10-12-2013 12:59 PM

Foams it is then!

cunawarit 10-12-2013 01:12 PM

Cheater ;)

On a similar note I was amazed how grip the wet tyres give! Made my car a little twitchy but that's the way of the future for Clubman tourers. With the right setup the lil TL01 would be way quicker.

siddus74 10-12-2013 02:05 PM

I've done a little research and found out what compound the wets are .. I have some slicks of the same compound to try on the FF03 this week ... :thumbsup:

Scott.

Chris56 10-12-2013 08:59 PM

Just to confirm, I will race 2 cars this friday, both in clubman: TA02 and Manta Ray

The reasons for which only I know and nobody else will understand!

siddus74 10-12-2013 09:16 PM

FF03 and Thundershot for me then Chris ... lets have some pictures ... be good to race the Thundershot against the Manta Ray :thumbsup:

You got kit tyres on yours and what motor you hot installed?

Scott.
