No Facebook, only this forum thread and the website.

Does anyone think this would be useful ?
Is car balance a very critical tuning aid in buggy racing ?
I'm very tempted to get one when it comes out next month.

I like technical gadgets.

Hey Roman,
That thing looks like it's having an identity crisis between being a jedi or aligned to the empire!
It's surely gotta help but I've never ever weight biased my buggies.

BTW: Are you running race control tomorrow night?

There are two versions, light and dark side.

Yes, I'm running race control.
Might only be for 4 people though.

The more important questions. . .
Did you get a TRF503 ???!!!
Any pics ?

Thank you to those who have recently paid for AKA tyres (and race fees) through the club bank account.

AGM is next weekend so make sure you have paid for membership online if you intend to support Ryde in 2014.

What a tuning aid!! Buggy/truck balance is pivotal to chassis handling. I reckon it's worthwhile! Especially everything being so light, the best part is you could add weight depending on which side is unbalanced, how the car jumps in the air and would give you an indication if that bling bit you bought added or subtracted weight. Most of weight distribution can be altered via battery placement especially with shorties, so this show you where the car is distributing the weight....

Here's one for anyone who owns an Associated, Losi, Kyosho, Durango or Traxxas. If you haven't heard of LA Parts House, I suggest you check them out. I have been using them for years and it always blows me away how fast my orders arrive. This week I ordered parts for Jasper's buggy on Sunday night and they arrived Thursday morning, it's usually on Friday. Their prices are about the same as Amain and Tower and they also have regular discount codes. The main thing is they have a really comprehensive and easy to navigate website and their delivery is always so quick. They are not a big business like the others, I checked their a address on Google maps and they operate from a little warehouse in La Habra CA, which could be why they are so quick. Anyway check them out next time you need something fast.

Hi Craig,

No racing today as there's too much water on the track.

I'm here on my own at the moment so I'll give cleaning the graffiti
off the sign a go.

See you all next Sunday.
