Me and G are going to oxfam today, we are going to try to buy some period clothes, hopefully shiny shell-suits (yellow & green was best I seem to remember - like Wayne & Waynetta have).
There is also model train show down the road, our mates Train Men 1,2 & 3 might be there.
I will take the camera and do a little report, it will be great.

News on the Motors. Adam is sceptical that the Saturn motor will be available for us so he is looking into sourcing motors from Mirage, maybe Nosram,

or Orion,


Both are hopefully available as 21x2's
Looking at the prices they will be a couple of quid more than the Sarturn but they will hopefully be less than £10 for those that pre-book in.

21x2, great news, the Cobra's gearbox didn't much like the 12 turn I stuck in at weekend... think it made 5 mins before sounding the death rattle!

I think Stu said his 6 gear RC10 did about 4 laps before he melted the spur gear with a 12 in it! It was quite literally 'smoking'!

Please let me know, I'm sure someone out there has his number.

It'll be the Saturn's as originally intended.

HPI stickers would be cool, they will send us ALL their hard to obtain stock, they will even discount on trade to Peter, they deserve some exposure for sorting it for us.

Someone PM me Peter's number, I need to arrange delivery thru him.

Is someone already doing the race report on this for Racer? If not, then I don't mind doing it, and Jimmy/Stu photos?

I got my Hot Dog going today, Tekin speedcontrol, 27turn P2K2 motor, Slow Futaba servo and some GP3300 cells. It seems to go okay.

I can't botch the front diff, so its going to be 2wd with a hint of pull coming from the front, but only a wiffa at that.

Shocks with Losi springs were a bit high, managed to find some AE springs, and make the shocks hold some oil, oh and make all the shock bushings work better.

In its current state, it can go doggy style round the living room for ages!

If anybody wants to buy it, im going to be selling it as it is with everything but the receiver and tranny. Then I'll find somet 2wd.

As saturday gets closer, the days get longer, that's because I'm trying to get enough Vintage cars ready to hold my own heat , Here's one I'm just finishing off. Brian Kinwald has contacted me to see if I can rebuild his Diff for him ...........
