I wouldn't argue with him, one thing we can all be sure of is Jim won't state anything without knowing himself that it is fact... he's the oracle.

Rumour has it that he was wrong once, in around 2nd of Feb 1985.

Was that when he said 'Looks like it'll rain later' - but it turned out to be just a light shower?

[Northy]

That was it Stu. Oh, how we laughed when he told us the story......

I'd say it's an XLS. It has the XLS front shock mounts (XL mounts the shocks vertically not angled back), the XLS bumper (XL is grey - XLS bumper won't fit an XL) and it's hard to tell but it looks like it has the XLS rear suspension spacers to widen the rear end.

But Terry, let me introduce you to Jim....

[Stu]

Jim said something about the front driveshafts - maybe it's a bit of a hybred car. It has MMS diffs which are later, so maybe it's a bit of both.

[Northy]

I simply can not believe that Jim would be wrong twice in one lifetime, he would simply not allow it!

Gents,

Since getting home from Worksop on Sunday I've been in bed with a Virus for most of the week. As such I've not done anything to my cars.

I'm defo struggling with needing a MUCH smaller pinion for the mid (0.6 module?) I haven't emptied my car yet but later will try to get my tools to see what's on it at the moment. Damo have you got that gear chart and can anyone suggest a ratio?

My other problem is I forgot I've still not got any wheels, assuming I'm OK on sat day I'm going to MB models in leeds and hope he still carriees ZX5 wheels.

Annoyingly my RC10 after needing virtually no work since I got it is crapping it's diff at the moment, might see me a couple of runs on the weekend if needed but I comletely muffed the shocks by trying to put new oil in them the other week.

Everyone else more organised than me?

Hi Dan

If you want i'll rebuild your stealth diff, either at the weekend or int the week after...

Damo has a gear ratio chart I saw it at the weekend

I'm all ready for the Vintage championship now, I can't wait

Jim

[Northy]

I'm almost ready.....

[super__dan]

Thanks Jim, much appreciated.

Do either of you have any 0.6 module gears?

[Northy]

Not me Dan, sorry

[WHITTLER555]

I will bring as large a selection of 0.6 module pinions as I can from the model shop.

[super__dan]

CHeers Damo, I'll start with the smallest and work my way up I guess.

[Stu]

My 19 showed up on Tuesday - looks good in the CAT.

G & me will try to avoid going to Sudd's on Saturday afternoon, we may be able to manage it.

[super__dan]

My 19t still hasn't turned up for the 4wd, though I do have Vermins old one in the RC10. It's also going to be lastminute.com whether these wheels and tyres turn up.

Has anyone else lost all faith in the Post Office service?

Assuming I get out of bed for a while tomorrow I need to cycle my 2000 cells to check they do actually work!

[ben]

ive got my rc10 all ready and raring to go. cant wait.

[WHITTLER555]

[Steve]

Just to let you no the peopel who want to run a 19 turn motor can i will sort all the point out for who run a 540 or a 19t motors.
