Niiiiiiiiiice. Only thing Id say is Mtroniks is missed out of his "current sponsors" list

jimmy 01-04-2007 09:25 PM

Thanks mate - I think thats a typing error right there (vicky did it, honest!) haha..

ashleyb4 01-04-2007 09:32 PM

The think i like about st is the way he glue's his tyres on the other way from most people but there is a reason and because of that now i have started doing it. IM sure stu will tell you.;)

haha only joking ! :D

jimmy 01-04-2007 09:37 PM

Hey those photos were from practice - Stu would never allow his tyres to fall off in a race! He's a pro'

ashleyb4 01-04-2007 09:43 PM

I may as well tell you why.

Its because schumacher dont sponser him he doesnt see why he should advertise there company on his car. And i agree with him so i have started doing the same.

But he's not sponsored by Tamiya either, but I can see that on his wheels. :D :confused:

Least it doesn't say 'Yokomo' hey Sleigh! ;)
Bit of polyfilla will sort those wheels out, no worries! :D

bigred5765 01-04-2007 09:58 PM

lol polly filla

matt 01-04-2007 09:59 PM

What about HUDY and Airtronics:rolleyes:

jimmy 01-04-2007 10:02 PM

Lol
Look out for woodys proper stickers when he races at Tiverton - Then the car will be 100%, since it's missing Team Scream and BlueBird also.:)

DCM 01-04-2007 11:08 PM

Yo Jimmy, if you are doing some Bluebird stickes, bundle us some this way.

Nice to see you got a ride Stu, maybe it was a blessing Kyosho being short sighted!!

The Vodka had kicked in by then. At first it read Losi, then Yokomo, then the fuzz became clear :D

Must say the car looks soooo much sweeter in the full Woody colour scheme.

Fantastic news for both Stu and oople. :)

Had the pleasure of watching the car in test. It really did look effortless on track. In fact I swear that he has a record function on his tx and when he's happy with a lap... he can just press the replay function :p and hey presto perfect everytime.:D

I also realise that it helps other drivers of the 501 to get the best out of the car.. When i finally get my finger out and actually finish my car lol... im sure i'll benefit from reading on what works and what doesnt.

jimmy 02-04-2007 05:48 PM

Thanks for your help on saturday Colin, really appreciate it, I have a couple of bits on order so will sort you out soon mate.
Stu's car did look ace around there didn't it.

Colinevan 02-04-2007 07:03 PM

Certainly did... ;)

No probs with the parts, Anytime! I suppose they were only sat in the box for the time being anyways lol. I so need to get my car running, hmmm no exscuses now:rolleyes:

Let me know if you need anything else.

Col.:cool:

Are those AE blue springs on the front of Stu's car ? :eh?:
The one I use from my B4 spring kit seem to be a lot shorter.

jimmy 03-04-2007 11:25 AM

Yeah they are AE blue springs (and AE silvers)
The springs in the spring kits are old, newer springs are not included in the spring kits I don't think? So you don't get brown or blue fronts, which are both longer than the old springs.
People still use the old springs like silvers and greens, but they are a bit short.

Thanks Jimmy. As long as they're the same weight I'm guessing It won't make a difference.
I bought that spring kit 1 year ago :(
