thank you all for your replies i am taking on board what you are saying, yes done the run one car thing a couple of times but not consistently its quite hard to tell one child they can not race this week(tantrums) mostly the cars are breaking or undriveable before the first heat so not crash issues, they are both running xray t3 thought it would be best to get them the same cars so parts would be interchangeable and i could learn set up of one model, we race indoor on carpet, been told best motor is 17.5 for the track as 13.5 makes no differance due to the length of the straight,problems we've had are pulling to one side,(keep doing set up on the car but each week its still there in one way or another) motor problems,(many)some my fault(bad soldering) over heating,drive shafts coming out,(usualy side wall crash related but not always)belts snapping,shocks suddenly losing oil, screws falling out, all these are checked ad double checked over the weekend then put it on the the track PROBLEM :-( the guys at the club have been amazing and always found the fault but sometimes its just to late, not their fault i really appreciate the help and would of been out of a lot more races if it had not been for them,(especially on guy he seems to of become our pit man, he is amazing)but after i have spent so much time working on them they should not have to after all they have their own cars and races, again guys really appreciate the reply you've gave me the inspiration back (for now) so lets go again :-)
