Well that didn't work.
Apart from 4 separate parts of the car falling off (steering link, hub fixing screw, bolt on the spur gear the the bolt on the otherside before the whole gearing system shifted to the right and disabled the rear wheel drive).
That's not including the loss of a grub screw attaching the rear drive shaft to the right wheel - and in 2 races I didn't finish a single lap!
As such I can safely say - the HT1 is retired. I even brought a higher tooth pinion wheel as I thought it would be too slow!
I've got an Mi2 on order but I have decided to get a cheap Ansmann ARE2 and work up to the Mi2 (the time will allow me to learn about rebuilding things like diffs). This will allow me to get used to driving again, the thing can take a beating and spares for it are dirty cheap.
As such, see you next week and thanks for all the help guys
