An aluminium skid plate for the Mugen MST-1 (the plastic one gets chewed up with every landing)

I'll bring the trucks on Sunday

Oh! I'd vote for a wheelie bar attached very low to the ground

Is it a legal attachment though?

hi all

the track rebuild starts on monday. all the heavy work will be done during the week but we will require help on both saturday and sunday next weekend.

please come down and lend a hand - we will be working from 8am both mornings.

bring along shovels, metal rakes and a wheel barrow if you have one in your shed.

enjoy the last day of racing on the old track tomorrow

cheers
Ben

Here's a couple of pics for Bugle of his B34.

Good to meet you Thomas. Hopefully you get that driveshaft sorted for tomorrow.

Bugle · 02-27-2009, 10:59 PM

Thanks for the pics Murray, got the driveshaft straightened just have to stick some steering limiters on the steering knuckle to stop it happening again.

Did the council approve more clay to be brought in Ben?

Where do I place my order?

looks like the track has the status of a sandpit....... those pics look like they are form the beach

Bugle · 02-28-2009, 12:53 AM

I'll have to try a B4 conversion with less custom parts, it's pretty much a whole new car built around a B3 chassis rather than just a conversion

Yeah it's very loose, don't try x2000's!

Well I attended my first offroad event in Oz today, thankyou to those who welcomed me.
Bit of a mixed day but thanks for the loan of a part I finished the day.
I'm looking forward to the new track and some more drive time.

Here's a few pics from the day.

Well done to Scrawl and Bungle, Awesome!

Bearcat · 03-01-2009, 03:26 PM

It's a great looking website

Thanks to Thomas and Leo.

Just wondering if I need a 3rd set of crystals to be in club challenge, because I only have 2 sets which nobody else seem to have (26.875 and 26.975)

It has been a requirement in the past but with so many drivers using Spektrum and Faast, it may not be a problem.
It will be something that you will have to monitor.

They are not common at all so shouldn't be a problem (are they half 27MHz?)
