Remainder. I have the Hi def ones if ppl want them. Just PM me with your buggy colour and email.
Hi Guys,
I'm hoping to come and join you again for race meeting. The first half of this year has been a bit tough with other stuff going on with work and the kids.
Good news is that I've just completed my daughter's car and she would really like to give novice a go!
Looks like mid motor 2wd's are starting to be the trend. Anyone thoughts on that? Just looking at whether I'll up grade my 201 with a new chassis and mid motor conversion?

Mid motor is the best option for stock period (motor position vers gear ratio).
Mid motor in mod I think you need a second car. The mm likes good rear tires so not the best for cheap club racing. They also need high grip surface as they don't generate that much intial turn in, but have good exit steering. The rm excels in the low grip condition as it generates more initial turn, then is stable powering out of the corner. Some layouts will just favor rm even in high grip conditions (hair pins + long straights). But then in conditions when mm is working its an advantage.
I'm expecting st Ives to be mm track this weekend at the cc.

That's the way to go, with two cars the same make you can run 2 sets of shocks for different conditions, share wheels, basically don't need spares etc. I've been changing between rm and mm on the kyosho but think I will bite the bullet and pick up the second car.

The last time I raced at snives,,the jumps were good for stock as long as you had a clean line,,
Looking forward to sunday,,,I'm sure Jimmy and Mark will have the track in perfect condition,,,

The only problem with that double jump was a small hole developing in the middle of the up ramp. It should be easy to patch up.
Weather forcast is looking really good for this weekend and the track should be in perfect condition.
See you Sunday.
