Guys I have bought stuff from Terry at DT Racing too, well worth a look if any of you want any custom carbon parts made - he is a vintage collector too so has many of the popular chassis, top decks, shock towers etc. He is currently cutting me a LWB mid chassis set.
Cheaper than 'the competition' and every bit the same quality of not better! Dan

I would be interested in racing some Vintage stuff at Silverstone. I've just moved down to South Northamptonshire from Leicester and I've been looking for somewhere to race. I used to race my Cougar 2 and Procat at Hinckley but their Retro Class has now died. Here are some photos of my cars: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/picturefra...11134722_2.jpg http://www.tamiyaclub.com/picturefra...11134722_6.jpg http://www.tamiyaclub.com/picturefra...11134722_7.jpg Cheers

The rollers are there purely as bling, I was going to mirror polish them too, but decided to leave them alone as I saw the ebay auction going mental. Rear is a pro-diff and I hope to go along the same lines as Kazsal with a 2wd rear diff in the front. (if isobarik can sort me out  )Also planning some other carbon bits... hopefully in the next week or two..

You would be more than welcome, Silverstone is a great club, plus the canteen is excelent so you can eat and race.... a bonus for a mid week "straight from work" meet. The vintage heat will be every now and then, (not every week) but there is nothing to stop you running your cougar/procat in with the normal 2/4wd heats... I think we are looking at mid next month for the full on retro class, but we are there every Tuesday, I hope to have mine running next week just for a shakedown....

Hi Dan,
Yes I remember and thanks for putting those photos on Tamiyaclub. Hi x313, I've got a Mad Monkey with Losi XXX shocks and Lipo set-up for normal running. I'd be keen to get some more mileage under my belt with that car. What time does racing start on Tuesday nights (I assume it's at Moulton College)? It's going to take me over an hour to get from Gaydon. Cheers Chris

Finally got a new front diff and managed to get the final assembly done..
Having a nightmare aligning the rear diff, have tried everything but the center belt keeps running off to the right (see pic) Any idea's how to get it to run centrally whilst keeping the tension correct?

Hmmmm.. I have changed the layshaft, but problem still seems to be there...
 no matter which orientation I fit the diff...Took the car for a run yesterday but the belt keeps moving to the left, do the eccentrics have to be parallel? pretty sure with them offset I could balance it out... Also when I set the rear belt tension to the (procat) manuals suggested 1-2mm deflection there seems to be a lot of drag.... more then I remember as a kid....

How does your belt lay when its out of the car? I have a belt from an old touring car that seems to be stretched along one edge, which can be seen when you lay it down on a flat surface. I would assume that the eccentrics should be adjusted the same both sides otherwise the diff outputs would bind in the bearings?
I have recently put together that gearbox for the TopCat, I know what you mean about the belt adjustment seeming tight at the suggested 1-2mm deflection. I know that the pitch of the belts are quite fine compared to more modern belt drive cars (I run my touring car with loads of slack without any problem) - that said, perhaps it would be best to errrr on the safe side & install as suggested in the manual - perhaps with an 8.5 running through it it will loosen up?
