hey chaps,i'm rory
i want to join the club,is the membership payable at the venue? i am still getting into the hobby,after messing around around with a kyosho raider when i was 16.
it seems a bit daunting after watching the vids on youtube!
i have some gear,but most quite old.
just got an old losi xx,after changing the reciever,it lives! it is brushed but so much faster than my other cars,i am planning on using this to start,then upgrade
to brushless lipo's ect. have a novak gtb otw,but the rest will be in dribs and drabs while i sell off old equiptment.
only got 27mhz radios,i hope to use this until i get 2.4 kit got 4 sets of crystals.
where can i get some bowties from all my rears are schumacer mini pins and spikes,anyway hope to see you all soon
