Niiiiiiiiiice. Only thing Id say is Mtroniks is missed out of his "current sponsors" list

[jimmy]

Thanks mate - I think thats a typing error right there (vicky did it, honest!) haha..

The think i like about st is the way he glue's his tyres on the other way from most people but there is a reason and because of that now i have started doing it. IM sure stu will tell you.

So they can come off mid race?



haha only joking !

[jimmy]

Hey those photos were from practice - Stu would never allow his tyres to fall off in a race! He's a pro'

[ashleyb4]

I may as well tell you why.

Its because schumacher dont sponser him he doesnt see why he should advertise there company on his car. And i agree with him so i have started doing the same.

But he's not sponsored by Tamiya either, but I can see that on his wheels.

[jimmy]

Least it doesn't say 'Yokomo' hey Sleigh!
Bit of polyfilla will sort those wheels out, no worries!

[bigred5765]

lol polly filla

[matt]

What about HUDY and Airtronics

[jimmy]

Lol
Look out for woodys proper stickers when he races at Tiverton - Then the car will be 100%, since it's missing Team Scream and BlueBird also.

[DCM]

Yo Jimmy, if you are doing some Bluebird stickes, bundle us some this way.

Nice to see you got a ride Stu, maybe it was a blessing Kyosho being short sighted!!

The Vodka had kicked in by then. At first it read Losi, then Yokomo, then the fuzz became clear

Must say the car looks soooo much sweeter in the full Woody colour scheme.

Fantastic news for both Stu and oople.

Had the pleasure of watching the car in test. It really did look effortless on track. In fact I swear that he has a record function on his tx and when he's happy with a lap... he can just press the replay function and hey presto perfect everytime.

I also realise that it helps other drivers of the 501 to get the best out of the car.. When i finally get my finger out and actually finish my car lol... im sure i'll benefit from reading on what works and what doesnt.

Thanks for your help on saturday Colin, really appreciate it, I have a couple of bits on order so will sort you out soon mate.
Stu's car did look ace around there didn't it.

[Colinevan]

Certainly did...

No probs with the parts, Anytime! I suppose they were only sat in the box for the time being anyways lol. I so need to get my car running, hmmm no exscuses now

Let me know if you need anything else.

Are those AE blue springs on the front of Stu's car ?
The one I use from my B4 spring kit seem to be a lot shorter.

[jimmy]

Yeah they are AE blue springs (and AE silvers)
The springs in the spring kits are old, newer springs are not included in the spring kits I don't think? So you don't get brown or blue fronts, which are both longer than the old springs.
People still use the old springs like silvers and greens, but they are a bit short.

Thanks Jimmy. As long as they're the same weight I'm guessing It won't make a difference.
I bought that spring kit 1 year ago
