Did a high velocity sweeper and the car wandered a bit and got planted onto the metal fencing.Prospec chassis bent to the shape resembling a Z ! front right upright torn clean from the pivot balls, rear right lower arm broken at the hinge pin. Broken T/B servo mount
looks like I have to make use of the 3mm chassis now. The prospec 4mm now looks like a crumpled card board after being hammered flat

hahahahhaha........like they always say, to join the gang I have to "lekat pagar"at least once hahahahah.....now I am part of the gang.
Mugen cup? cant afford the training costs dude......maybe next time. On average I spend about RM85 a day on the 1/10 (fuel,tyres, and track dues) ....that is if I stay away from the fences

How much money do you waste to prepare yourself and your car for a race ?
me first .... this is the lowest cost assuming I already have other things.
O'donnel Fuel 1gl 25% = $37
Kawahara 35 Rear x 2 set = $24
Kawahara 35 Front x 1 set = $12
Novarossi Glow Plug x 1 pc = $5
Total = $78
Highest cost could be $300 - $400 if I need to buy some spare parts and replace this and that.

Will give it another try this weekend with a reduced throttle EPA

Dollar for dollar
Race prep for me
Race registration - Varies but on an average RM60
Trinity fuel 3.78l - RM100
Foam tyres 2 sets - RM120
Glow plugs 3 pieces - RM54
no allowance for parts so it'll make me concerntrate better
Hmmm....looks like RC is really expensive here.

I guess that caused the car to crash onto the fencing as I WOT as the car was getting into the long sweeper. The car sprinted as it was going to the sweeper and I felt the car floated a bit and understeered, before I could do anything it was on the fence and both lower arms on the right side was on the tracks and a badly bent chassis

FRONT DIFF
Gud pm .. i am just having a hard time with my front diff.. the silicone oil always seems to seep out eventhough i use 2 pc of the included gasket.. could you help me what othe sealant can i use nad how? thanks
02-22-2006, 12:17 AM
use the orange silicon sealer for automotive or house-hold leaks (put on both sides of the gasket and your diff will never leak again if done properly
