Not sure if I am right here but i thought that the indoor finals were on at York on the 24th & 25th March?
Hope that i am wrong as it would be a shame for both these events to clash.

[Chris Doughty]

If I don't end up going you can take the mini t.

[jimmy]

Cool, thanks john.

[telboy]

I'm going to be entering the brushless class with a borrowed RC18b. did it last time and it was a great laugh. it makes a change to go and race just to enjoy the day and not get too serious.

[c0sie]

Jimmy,

[whispers] get some RC18B narrow front wheels and pin tyres that come with the 18B kit.

The rubber on those tyres is harder and therefore doesnt give ggrip roll where the wider fronts will.

Std wide kit rear pins offer loads of traction on the back so you'll be fine with what you have.

[ban]Terry from going anywhere near that concours trophy![/ban]

[telboy]

Ban Terry from going anywhere near that concours trophy!

Well! I can't get my breath!........
I will be competing against myself with a vengence this time ...if that makes sense!

I think I've got about 6 shells in there at the moment.
But tallbloke with be a force to be reconned with too so my trophy could be under threat.
