If you need/want a lift I am in Rotherham at the moment. Call me and you have a PM which will probably help! Mk |

Peter,
If at all possible, I would not risk further damage cos I can take you over as before and Mark can do the return, ( or both if he can ), anyhow, it isnt worth the risk old friend. VBR Chris A. |

Hey You Guys,
Thanks for letting me know, I won't have to be there quite so early tonight then !!. I am actually wanting to get away early myself as I have to be up at 4am Friday !!!!????. Perhaps one of you could take the keys and lock up after you ??. Just decide who will definitely be there next week !!. VBR Chris A. |

It was indeed top entertainment last night and i even managed to break a PB in the single seaters, dunno how, but i did!!
Forgot all about it last night, but at skeggy next tuesday, so looks like i will be able to make next thursday, and with the new toys that dropped through the office door this morning, i may actually do some testing and get my screwdriver out (que jokes from you dirty minded individuals - this is a family forum my i remind you)!! See you all next week Cookie -------------------- The Battenburg Kid

Thanks. I enjoyed last night.
I gleaned some info from Chris for the F1 and the Xsara will be back next week (hopefully) with a brief to see how quick it will be just using parts in the box it came with. Maybe others will be along next week  Ian your home circuit looks great - I forgot to say last night.  Cookie - Good drive in F1. You testing a screwdriver... Have fun with the slots in Skeggy. Today a 200 mile trip to the pub - but on the plus side it is walking distance to my front door then  Mark |

Nice photo Ian!!
First I'd complain that he tampo printing and paint seems a little thin  I am planning to glue on the SCX rubber and skim them round as to keep as much thread as possible. Let the rear axle rock as little and get the front axle up as much as possible. Keep the 24t in the front and put the 26t on the back. If you wanted to modify it air hubs with NSR's Ultras on the back and 10t pinions on the motor to get more speed. The motor is 18000rpm apparently. Body to rock and that is it. No lead in either. I am going for the first route but the second is alot of work!! |

Hi Mark, Hi Ian,
haven't got mine yet, but in prep thereof, 1. what is the SCX Pro axle diameter ??. You know, thinking of fitting MB alloys and NSR, do I need to change axle and bearings as well ??. 2. You say the rear gear is 27 or 26, just remind me what is the front gear ??. 3. What sizes are the original tyres ??. VBR Chris A. |

Chris,
QUOTE You know, thinking of fitting MB alloys and NSR, do I need to change axle and bearings as well ??. No they are the same size as NSR's The rest I'll get back to you on -------------------- |
