If you have 200, you'll want 203 Steve.

yes, you'll have to do that to use the limiters.
it doesn't take a long time. spend 10 minutes on the 1st day removing shocks & draining it ..
10 minutes on 2nd day top up shock oil, let the shocks rest to release the air bubbles,
10 minutes on 3rd day reassembling it again.
all done before you know it.

seriously. this is part & parcel of the hobby. pretty soon you'll be able to do it blindfolded

you can obviously try shimming the drive shafts first before doing anything else.


on another topic ... i like the woops. it's 1 of the best characteristics of the track.

Yes, we will let people know what's going on via RCtech.

Looks like we could be on tomorrow:

12pm Slight chance shower 24°C 47% chance rain
3pm Slight chance shower 24°C 37% chance rain
6pm Cloudy 23°C 33% chance rain

Considering how quickly the track drains now it would be a good idea to get ready to go to the track in the morning. If it is bucketing down we will probably call it off.

If you are not sure check back here or text me on 0400 604 550.

I went to the track today while it was pouring, and fixed some drainage probs at the triple on the back straight. It was pooling up big time.

Thanks mate, I saw that puddle today but decided to give it a miss in my suit (kind of hard to explain to the boss and the wife), but I think I fixed one of the pooling areas on the start grid yesterday, but I suppose the test will be if we can race tomorrow arvo.

I did get to test your advice on the whoops and you were spot on! Just gotta work out how to do the double so that I'm lined up straight for the first jump.
