What better way of curing the recession blues by splashing out on a new kit! Finally gone and done it and bought a B4 and X-Factory Squared conversion from DMS Racing today.
As usual very helpful and even persuaded me that I don't need the Losi shocks just yet, see how I get on with Associated ones.
If you read this, thanks Darren for your help and sorry if I dithered over various options, just wanted to the right set up first time.
Anyway here is my shopping list

B4 FT
X 6 Squared Conv
LRP Vector 7.5
LRP Sphere TC
21/22 pinion (apparently all I need for small tight indoor and larger outdoor tracks
81 Kit spur (should I get the 78 as this seems the popular choice)
Schumacher spikes, yellow
Don't ask how much.......answer too much. What the hell.
Now for the build, aiming to run Friday but could well be with a clear bodyshell!!!
Over and out for now
