Well done Chris, H Final? You would be gutted, and its not your first national, its your 10th or something

First national with the new 511 I meant. Hoodies and T shirts just arrive Chris... they're

Thanks for the wiring tip .... but what exactly is wrong with it? If you think its going to cause problems, then might let you have a go at correcting it on Saturday.... saying that though, I never normally have electrical failures

Example 1:-

When you handed me your last car at Worksop and said "What do you think about that...?" I think you'll remember I couldn't stop laughing at the state of the solder job. And one cable was hanging onto your motor by a thread.



Need any more?

Looking at the electrics. I run the cells round the other way. The power cap is the other side of the slipper shaft next to the cells. The speedo is pushed right up against the servo with the switch on top. The motor in rotated, with the receiver pushed right up against the motor to stop the steering arm rubbing against it. Velco is where the PT goes.

Setups ball stud middle hole all round on the bulkheads. 3mm spacer on the front, 2mm on the rear. Rear hub ball stud nearest the wheel, 4mm spacer. Front hub the rear hole with a 3mm spacer


Shocks 2nd hole out from the inside on all the towers, and the inside hole on the rear wishbone and middle on the front. 30wt losi rear yellow springs, 35 front blue springs.
