buggy ordered:thumbsup: its a RTR car but it gets me racing, also batteries and a charger ordered, need to find out what other wheels fit my buggy so i can get some mini pins fitted on them as the stock tyres will be no good on the sports hall.:eh?:

another enjoyable nights racing last night, i dont know what to do for the next two mondays with the club being closed, might have to start smoking or bitting my nails, might have to do something even more desperate and start watching soaps with the wife, please help, as for mal im sure he will be back with a vengence and give me a run for my money next race, he can always slip my son matthew 50p and im sure he will spin me out for mal, actually my son done that about 4 times last night, and where did he get that 50p from, i hope ray is up and running aswell as he had problems with all of his batteries, ray must of had his prune juice last week as i couldnt catch him in the final, just goes to show that theres life in the old dog yet, then again pensioners always move quicker on pension day, well see u all soon as i got to go now, eastenders about to start:thumbdown:

Yes good nights racing last night well my buggy went not to bad for its first outing bit less grip than my sunday night carpet racing but still good fun.

Well get yourself along to the Barley mow club at Birtly on a sunday night
carpet racing so use foam tyres or slick rubber tyres.
Buddy if you fancy having a go at the Barley mow club while tyne met is off
i have some 1/10 touring car rubber/foam tyres/wheels + Additive you can use if you fancy a go

Type of racing is

1/12th scale pan cars
1/12th scale Mardave
1/10th Touring cars
AMBRC lap timing system same as Tyne met

Also most racing nights there is a tuckshop where you can get tea/coffee hotdogs cold drinks etc

you don't need a table or chair as thay are all provided

Sunday night at the Barley mow village hall just behind the Barley mow pub Birtley doors open 5pm for track building racing starts 6pm-9pm
First night racing is free if your new then £3 there after

Let me know if you fancy it and i'll bring the tyres with me

buggy came today:thumbsup:cant even get it to bind:thumbdown: might just be the batteries are crap in the transmitter:cry: i'll gwet some new batteries and try again:blush:

Hi Bud which setup did you go for the £89 27 Mhz kit if so you don't bind 27Mhz have you made sure you have the correct crystals installed in the receiver and Transmitter (RX = receiver) and (TX = Transmitter)

Gar:thumbsup:

no gone for the £179 one, the brushless car with 2.4.....think it must just be the batteries, waiting for rechargable batteries and the charger to turn up then i'll give it another go

new batteries charged up....whoopee all working:thumbsup: need to practice now before next meeting:p

BOO HOO, WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH, thats the sound in my house tonight as racing is not on tonight, and thats not matthew crying its me:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:
WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
BLOODY STUDENTS!:p

well i got the buggy out for its first run in the park today, as a RTR buggy i was very impressed with the initial speed but after a few minutes and a few tumbles the car seemed slower, took it home to find out i had lost a grub screw from the drive train so car was only running in front wheel drive......looks like i need some spare grub screws:lol: should i lock these screws in with something:confused:

cheers
paul

thread lock should help with that

cheers, its a trip to phils models in the morning:lol:

i had a problem with my grub screw coming out of my pinnion gear
a drop of superglue has done the trick,
grub screw hasnt budged in the last 6 weeks:thumbsup:

dont worry pete,
big brother has started- that'll keep you out of trouble till a couple of weeks time:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Dont worry about it, it happens to us all at some point but might be an idea to go over everything to make sure its tight with it being an already built up RTR kit, was a good turnout for buggies at seaham on sunday with 11-12 people racing :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Not fancy racing on sunday like was a good night :confused:

Car not working, was out for dinner with my brother and couldnt get there

whats wrong with ya durango like ???

need new pinion and pivot ball for the steering

Links Wanted !!!
 

can anybody send me links for wheels tires and inserts that will fit my tamiya touring car, think they are 12mm hexes...........:confused::confused::confused:

cheers :thumbsup:

Phills models stock them mate or you can order direct from schumachers site. you need 20mm wheels, yellow mini pins (20mm) and blue foams

Thanks for the reply, do you get many breakages with touring cars if so what parts normally break and what parts are good for spares other than tires and wheels...........:confused:

Ive currently got a tamiya TL-01, TB-01 and a HPI RS4 Rally, i dont think the 2 tamiyas will be much good for TC racing :confused:

But think the RS4 rally will be ok if i get some TC shocks so there will be less body roll :confused:

I was thinking of getting a cheap old yokomo MR4 TC but not sure about spares and think the wheels have an unusual fit so might be a problem getting them.......:confused:

cheers :thumbsup:

whats with this touring car malarky steve, thought you were a buggy man through and through:lol:

P.S. even tho i have a buggy to play with, if anyone hears or see's a good buggy advertised anywhere let me know please, B44 ?, SCHUMACHER CAT ? ETC ETC

cheers
paul

Steve, standard tc wheels should all fit fine, you may want to get some shims, that will solve any problems if wheels are catching on uprights or steering arms. The rally car may work a treat, I had the MR4 Rally back in the day, it was awesome and looked pretty good too!!
Buggy guys, if people want jumps etc I wouldn't mind making one over a few mats, the carpet rolls are awful, jumping off them was more like a half pipe!! Also we could have some mats out for bumps like we do as benfield

Steve, if you are getting inserts try out some yellows too, softer than blue and more stable, makes q a big difference so worth seeing which you prefer
