I think people will excuse a Lunchbox :)

Not a Tamiya, but I've wanted one of these for ages :) Clubman material? :D

I was wondering when a Lunchbox will make an appearance - defo clubman material!.

Does anybody here own a Grasshopper/Hornet/Frog? - would love to see one of those running

Hmmm, are you sure people would not get uptight about it?

Scott.

You didn't see the heap of junk I was running last week mate!

He makes a good point!

It needed help from marshals on tight turns as it didn't have enough steering lock!

yes yes, that problem should be sorted. There was a flange behind the gearbox I was meant to cut out - thats what you get for not reading instructions:lol:

On a plus note, it ran well on the faster sections:thumbsup:

It had plenty of acceleration, that's for sure.

What was it you ran? lol

Scott.

It was a Shamta Ray.

Basically an FF01 but with Manta Ray chassis, body, wishbones and buggy tyres.

If you have a look in the "FF01 meets Manta Ray" thread there are a couple of photos.

Will be running it again this friday

Might be an idea to discuss it with other clubman drivers :)
Some of the cars are a little more delicate than others.

That's a good point, the TL01 is surviving Clubman. But I stopped racing it with modern touring cars as it would break each and every time it came into contact with one.

LOL!

I have a Mardave Mini with a silver can? (just needs radio)

Scott.

Yeah, remember those. My coz had one, a fibreglass rectangle with wheels. No suspension, no diff... Perfect!!! :woot:

I wouldn't mind getting my mitts on this:

I'm starting to get the sense that this could turn into a my car is crappier than yours competition.

I do like that though! Mardave made 3 wheelers too. They can't be much slower round the track than the FWD buggy was ;)

I saw one going around Ardent once. They also look really cool with a Caterham shell.

Don't judge the Shamta Ray until I've had chance to test the new steering, its just doing the opposite of what the TL01 did :p:p

Chris, when I looked last Friday, the Shamta Ray was a 3-wheeler... :p

Honestly I think "Shambles" is becoming too generous though. Captain Chaos more like (have you booked in for this week yet...:woot:??)

hmm it was less of a problem when I ditched the SCT whells in favour of some ballistic greens. The car does have a lack of droop but I can't give it any more without using softer springs, which I don't want to do because the back end is quite grippy.

I have already pre-booked but under my real name. If I can't get the car to work this week then I have to become "Captain Chaos". Here is an image of said guy - he does look a bit like Dave though:

Haha... yeah, that used to turn by itself everywhere ;)

PS: I like the Captain Chaos outfit, wearing it?
