Not looking too bad at the moment, if only it can stay like this for a while.

As long as it doesn't rain overnight we should be good. Didn't rain today but we've had 49mm since Thursday! Will hopefully have the RT5 out meet after this one

Shimmy

Yeah, with any luck it wont rain.

Awesome.
I'll probably bring me desert truck aswell, race it if we have enough numbers.

Pictures from today...
https://picasaweb.google.com/1127157...eat=directlink

Does anyone know of another image hosting site thats easy to make large albums?
I've just about had enough of Picasa, 40 rejected pictures this time and I know there is nothing wrong with the files.

Great day today too, although quite a tricky track to drive.

Maybe the sand coming up could be a good thing though?
Might make a blue groove last longer and tyres to have a longer life?

I think I may be a Durango convert too, haha, the DEX210 felt great (all things considered) with no real setup on it, just whacked together from the build.
Now I just need to learn to drive the damn thing.

Hey Brendan have you tried photobucket?

I've finally got a V3 inbound! Wish I had time to go out to the track today and find some more steering in the DEX210 on the low grip surface...

lol I dont think that the prob Alex your buggy seems to have a lot I think we need to use pin type tyres on that surface
Gr8 news about the v3
And yeah I use photobucket as well I have always found that the best one

I havnt used photobucket myself to upload anything but have used it a couple of times looking at others albums and stuff and the site in general just really slow and laggy.
Might give it a go anyway and see if its changed any since I last saw it.

Might see what the deal is with Flikr aswell, havnt really messed about with that one either.

Gotta find one soon because I either have to start a new account or pay for more space on picasa.


Haha, how long have ya been waiting for the V3?
I was out on the track for a pack earlier, a bit more grip on there now but still pretty loose on the more sandy areas.


I use Losi v2 X2000's and they seem alright, gets a little loose in the thicker sandy bits but can usually keep it under control.
Me mate with a Losi 22 was on the track today aswell and he had calibers on and it felt really touchy in the rear end but had proline ribs up front and had plenty of steering.

Being that the track is sandy, a soft tyre may not function properly on it, neither would a closed in tread.
But I cant see the track staying like this for long, the sand will go away I reckon.

Hi Guys just letting you know there is most likely a stolen new in the box Schumacher Cat SX3 S1 kit floating around Hobart somewhere - just so you know if you get offered one for sale or one turns up at the track.

Cheers
