First Timer!

After 7 years away from racing r/c, sunday will be my first race at worksop and will be my first time racing off road, ever! I caught the "racing" bug again after joining my brother to the last 3 Worksop meetings, i was hooked straight away, and my brother kindly donated a spare Cyber 10b he had floating around, Sorted! Anyway just thought i would introduce myself to all the people that will witness my driving on sunday please don't laugh lol

See you all there,

glad to see you came back. I did the same just over a year ago and it's the best decision I've made

[Gonky]

I made the same decision last year after about 14 years away... really enjoying it!

I'm looking forward to getting back into it.

Great to see you returning to the sport!!!!! Welcome back!!!
Make sure you enjoy your day as this is what it's all about!!!
I am sure you will and Muzzy runs a very slick meeting!!!

[Shaun_23286]

i will enjoy it mate, and thank you
Just hope the track isn't too technical for my first time out lol either way it will be good fun

Well my first race was yesterday, im pleased to say i really really enjoyed it even though i ended up having electrical problems all day for some reason if you let the car stop, it would'nt move again on it's own, you had to give it a push to get going and then it was fine, (until next time you stopped) Had nothing to do with me plugging the batteries in the wrong way by mistake So i think the poor old speedo was feeling very sorry for its self. But apart from that and the glitching, was a brilliant day

That happend to me when I was starting out again (with old electrics)... Turned out to be motor brushes and a dirty comm. Fit new brushes springs and give it a clean.. see what happens
