Sorry guys that i haven't been able to make it on any of the weeks.
But i have been ironing out some flaws with the mad rat such as,
a) The shocks are a bit sloppy, a few drives and one of the oil seals have gone, so ill be getting these shocks for it - (rear)

b) The screw that goes through the diff to hold it together is a bit weak, it sheared off at a bash in thetford making me go home
....
c) The most major one, the front chassis brace - It is weak as hell, i have snapped 3 now. But i have done a mod to the rat to fix it, i have cut the same shape as the front chassis brace out some 2/3mm ally and screwed that over the top of the old chassis brace - It has worked wonders, it also has a little bumper on the end for little knocks.
For some upgrades is it worth getting, the Kevlar spur gear, kevlar diff gear, kevlar front chassis brace, and the carbon fiber shock towers and rear T piece? - here are the kevlar parts

I have ordered some 30-35WT shock oil and i have some Pro-Line Bow Ties, schumacher cut staggers and schumacher rear block tyres.
I also have a brand new un-painted buggy shell ready to be painted for the track..... should expect to see me in the next few weeks, after i have the buggy dialed.
Thanks guys
