I think the problem with that is that we wont have enough time to get trophies ready for the following weekend, It will need to be followed up. I'll be away from Wednesday until next thursday, so I'll leave it with yas

Yeah, that combo does sound familiar. I will be running the same Truggy with the same motor. And Brad also runs Mugen/Nova combo. Let the games begin......................when and if it ever stops raining

BTW mate, all jobs were completed here, with excellent results, thanks again, hopefully we sell with ease.

Hey kymbo, looks about the same position as the "standard" battery hard case in my trusty Team Associated Truggy!! I'll sell you one if you want one?
I am sure I have one on my spare parts wall

Be warned though, the extra weight up front does make them steer quicker.

Correct - moving the battery into this position increases off power steering. Team ae used to run there batts there on the original RC8 before re-designing the new batt tray for their RC8b.

You should notice a big difference.

I will give Dan a call we dont need trophies for the 5th just on breakup unless I am missing something here

yep sunday was fine down there but the track got a bit of rain thru the night and some of the corners had some nice puddles plus the carpet is in place and that was a bit to wet so I have a big roll of black plastic coming to cover it.
