Do you mean today (monday) or was this for yesterday (sunday)? Because if you mean today (monday) I might come down but I don't know much about B4's.

I'll not be down today, but am thinking of nipping down wednesday or thursday. I had some major electrical issues at Southport and need to fix them, but can't really tell how successful they are except on the track.

Today the track gates will be locked, because nobody with a key will be there. Just hop over them!

So is the Bury track open every day for a quick blast if you can just hop over the barrier?

Officially the track is closed except for race meetings. However its in a public park, so its not difficult to access the track. Most club members do nip down for a test.
As I said, technically you aren't supposed to be there, so if the park security try to turf you off you are on your own. However, since the park security are beyond completely useless that isn't going to happen, and off the record the club condones non-members using the track, and even recruits new members from the unofficial users.

Matt - the wiring was a mess because I had to change the servo and the esc because both seemed to be playing up. Then I realised it was the radio.......
