Sounds great, just got to sort out which cars are reliable enough to run.

I just booked in for the event after extending our UK family holiday by 5 days, we were originally flying back on the 25th which would have hurt!

Mrs. R is not amused...

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Does Mrs R realise there is a big Clothing and homewares shop right next to the track? :D

Might cost you even more in the end Dan :-)

I don't think anything would make her and the kids come up for the race, even a Tesco Extra!

They're just 'toy cars' to her...:confused:...I think I need to take her to a hypnotist.

I've just bitten the bullit and booked the Procat in :thumbsup: now the race is on

I can't wait :)

Luckily for you Gainsy that won't get to feel the rath if my cat :p

Yeah it will as it's 1993 so it's in the same group;)
Maybe i will bring along Lukes (oh soon to be my) procat along to play :D

Looks like my superchamp will be outgunned from the off :p

My Cat2000 needs a little more work to finish it off. Just need a couple of bits to put it together.:blush:

Few ec's booked in already Terry so you will be in good company :)

I've already got an EC, this is going to be a 2000 as I've got all the parts to replace the badly cut out aluminium shock mounts with upright ones.

For the 94-98 class I might even be tempted to bring out this:

Yes bring forth the pred :wub

My little Mid is nervous being up against all your Procat's, Top Forces and ZX-R's!

Justin, get building mate - we need to see it out of the boxes! :)

Terry, that Predator must be run, it's a work of art.

Stu, that paintwork is amazing - have to study it every time I see it. See you on the 26th! :)

Oooooo a worthy contender

Dan it will come together very fast when all my parts arrive

The questions gotta be, who's running what under the bodies tho? Brushed? Nimh?

Nosram Matrix esc so i can run either brushed or brushless on the day
Lipo saddles either way, 2.4 radio as it just makes sense

Sp gt2 pro not sure what motor yet and again lipos and 2.4ghz like gainsy said. Have you taken delivery of the new toy yet gainsy?

Not as yet but it will have a 6.5t in it when i do :D

What do you use to fit the lipos in? My Cat 2000ec has got a 98 chassis on it and I ve yet to work out how to fit my saddle lipo in it:(

I used a cat sx3 lipo tray, posts & straps, cut the tray in half & used the rear mount hole on the chassis & re drilled the front one

Anyone know if there will be any shops selling vintage parts there on the day.

I'd love to have a root through all the old stuff at DMS.

There will be a RC Auto jumble where racers can sell their vintage parts/cars

I'm finding it hard to fit the stuff I'm bringing in the family suitcases let alone if I have a few 'kid in a sweetie shop' moments at any kind of RC auto jumble sale!.....besides, surely John Weston's dad will buy everything before we can! :thumbsup::D

Stu, you're 5 posts ahead of me! Must refrain from typing random cr4p......

That's part of getting old mate ;)
Great lineup fella, see you on the 26th :)

Cheers for that :) I ll order the bits and see if I can modify them to use on my 98 chassis.

Dan, what are you using to hold the shorty lipo in your XLS??

Some strategically placed pieces of fibreglass stuck to the chassis

Hi all. To clarify:

Attendees will be bringing stuff to sell and that has nothing to do with the charity fundraising.

If anyone wants to come simply to set up a shop for their own profit, this is unacceptable. This is not a profit making event. This is a charity event. I've made this clear elsewhere and now I making it clear on here.

Anyone wishing to bring supplies along for attendees need to speak to A1 or Me. We will be wanting a charitable contribution in return if something can be arranged.

Thanks, John

Should be a great day boys ;)

Jiffy

Glad this day has been organised ..... gave me the motivation to source some much needed, and definitely 'getting harder to find', parts to get the XX4 up and running.

Not as prestigious as the Optima's, Cat's, Tamiya's and Lazer's that will be strutting their stuff but, somebody has to lower the tone! :p

By far my favourite 4WD ever!! Excited about giving it a Brushless Makeover!

I'm waiting :lol:
