Please answer asap Matt, Paul, John.

Can i run 2wd on Sunday.

Major probs with my 4wd, now 9.36pm and in all honestly, it's never going to be ready.

If not, then you may as well take me out of 4wd running.

Cheers, Russ.

I knew that would be the response, but honest to god, i've got bits missing, re-built Diffs, that now don't fit, as i thought a new part in the box was correct, as it turns out it's slightly longer and therefore does not fit in the casing...
Every servo horn under the sun, but not one that fits correctly.
I am now demoralised....
Steering stiff, cause 2 plastic spacers have vanished.

Etc etc etc....

I might bring it with me, so i can do the electrics install tomorrow and tomorrow night in the hotel room, but there's no way it's gonna be running.

I'd rather not run than run with a shodily built car, thats not going to work properly.

Mate, if you car is up to weight then there is no reason why you should ever not be allowed to run 2wd against 4wd, you have NO advantage!!

See you both days with 2wd

Keep me entertained chaps as I'm sitting here waiting for an engineer to come so you're all toasty tomorrow!

Default Thanks
Right, heating now working so going to have a few beers and try to get some sleep on the dirty carpet with no sleeping bag, however small price to pay to know you'll all be warm tomorrow!

I know Area51 is a new venture to our club and we don't know if it's a success yet' but I'd just like to thank a few people without whom tomorrow wouldn't be happening.

My team:
Paul Upton
John Spencer
Jason Bing-Low
Richard Ralph
Lloyd Storey

Today's Build team:
John and Bob from Rosemoore Builders
Puppy
Jason
Lee
Rob
Scott
Tom
Ian
Steve
Leon from Boss scaffolding
I hope I haven't missed anyone!

I'm glad we didn't run practice today so it's a level playing field for people with different work commitments etc...

Thanks again, I hope you all enjoy your time with us at Area51!!!

Matt
SRCMCC
