First Timer!
 
After 7 years away from racing r/c, sunday will be my first race at worksop and will be my first time racing off road, ever! :o I caught the "racing" bug again after joining my brother to the last 3 Worksop meetings, i was hooked straight away, and my brother kindly donated a spare Cyber 10b he had floating around, Sorted! :thumbsup: Anyway just thought i would introduce myself to all the people that will witness my driving on sunday :blush: please don't laugh lol

See you all there,
:thumbsup:

glad to see you came back. I did the same just over a year ago and it's the best decision I've made :thumbsup:

I made the same decision last year after about 14 years away... really enjoying it! :thumbsup:

i will enjoy it mate, and thank you :thumbsup:
Just hope the track isn't too technical for my first time out lol either way it will be good fun :D

Well my first race was yesterday, im pleased to say i really really enjoyed it :thumbsup: even though i ended up having electrical problems all day :cry: for some reason if you let the car stop, it would'nt move again on it's own, you had to give it a push to get going and then it was fine, (until next time you stopped) Had nothing to do with me plugging the batteries in the wrong way by mistake :blush: So i think the poor old speedo was feeling very sorry for its self. But apart from that and the glitching, was a brilliant day :thumbsup:

That happend to me when I was starting out again (with old electrics)... Turned out to be motor brushes and a dirty comm. Fit new brushes springs and give it a clean.. see what happens:D
