Yeah it must be coming up 5 years from when i bought it - i didn't think it was that long ago! I did look at the stadium truck but preferred the buggy, I've always had a thing for buggys as my very first RC (when I was a lad) was toy grade buggy called a 'turbo hopper'. Yeah spares do seem to be an issue with most parts coming from America so ill try not to break it on my first go!
I did call in and saw a few races, its made me realise how totally out classed I am, they were seriously quick. I did notice that there was a lack of long ariels on the transmitters, is that because everyone is running 2.4ghz systems now?
I got my raven BX out and ran the battery down, my plan is to flatten it and give it fresh charge for when I visit on a Wednesday. I've also done something bad.... bought a lipo and charger, just waiting for it to arrive. I can't help myself sometimes!
heres a pic from today, not quite the sleek narrow bodied cars people are racing now eh?
I've also ordered some new wheels and tyres, The rears are bald from do-nuts - I told you I was a serial back yard basher... The slicks have been fine for the street but not much else!
Thanks
Luke
