andy your new sc10 can be the plough we wil just follow behind lol

[Si Coe]

Hmmm.

Was planning on going but not sure now.

Only got the D4 and the Soda (RC10T is currently having its new 'stretched' chassis made), the Soda hasn't had its full width bumpers fitted yet and only has micro spike tyres and the D4 has no spare front bulkheads (and once again HPI have none in stock so its on back order. They really are hopeless!).

Oh and its f*!$&*g cold too!

[kitesurfer73]

Maybe just turn up to laugh!!
my x6 should be ok its has a good chassis which is fully enclosed...
If we or i lol can clear the straight and the first right hander and around the last corner before straight we should be fine

I've just finished bashing about in the ice with my new 6.5 turn brushless motor and speed control hoping to start racing at goshen when it starts again. Anybody know when that will be?

[Si Coe]

Not before April. We have three more rounds of the indoor series first.

[Whiskers]

Thanks i'll look forward to april then. I'm just itching to get out racing and to see how my car compares to everybody elses as I am a beginner at rc car racing, so any good advice would be much appreciated.

The only thing is I don't drive as i'm only 15 so i would need to be dropped off and picked up so that makes it more difficult for me to attend races that aren't very close to me. (I live in bury)
