I don't bother sanding down Ninco guides, I just run the braids a bit thicker.
Parma 45 ohm or 60 ohm work well with NC5, which one you choose depends on taste, I used to use a 45 but bought a 60 at Pendles and find that better for me.
I suggest using a different sensor than the standard one with the SCX Chrono as a lot of cars won't trigger the reed switch. The base unit just needs a short circuit on it's two sensor wires to trigger.
I've never had the band come off my Focus or Impreza (the Impreza has two red bands BTW) whereas my MSC 6R4 is pushed to finish a stage with the band on.
Not very helpful I know - but you can always borrow a band from me on the day as I doubt if I'll use either car.
Lee Henderson has informed me he will not be able to make it, so I will continue to reign as unopposed Slot Rally champion of Suffolk (and probably East Anglia for that matter)
