That is a super kind Gesture Johnny, I last night ordered from Precision RC all the parts so I should have them by thursday morning at the latest. ( I hope)
Yeh the Chassis was cracked under the Blocks at the front and when I got home to clean it I notice a grand canyon crack under the front spool.
Also Johnny what was that shim setting you told me under the blocks to set the car up.
Can you please let me know.
Thanks Mate

Hey guys,

Meakin Boys put on a great night again.

Sorry to all the gas tourer drivers that I hacked.

Got some issues sorted out though, so now it's just my driving that sucks.

lol

Big thanks to all the people that helped me last night, Hesham, Addam, Steve, Johnny, John, and anyone else I have left off.

I really appreciate the help I got last night.

Cheers again

(Big) Ash

Thanks to all the top drivers who dusted off ther rides and came out for a run.
It sure made me work harder and drive better and i'm sure it made everyone else do the same.

I had so many issues with my car last night. Steering problems, loose big time under slightest brakes. Then to top it all off, a gremlin has hit my electrics and I am still looking for the bloody fault.

After half of the third heat and me hacking on passing drivers (not intentional) it was time to give up for the night.

Scott G, man that Mi3 was very impressive around the track. There was a good number of very talented drivers last night. It was good to watch.

Good numbers in gas too. I think a 10 car start in the first heat. Is that correct? Very good numbers for Meakin.

Yes, bad night racing for me. Good marshelling though. Someone in gas nearly had a rebuild to do this week. Flame out on the back strait.

Great FUN again last night....

Addam, I have a sad tale to tell from last night as well.....

1. Hit the tyres at the end of the back staight and broke a battery pack.

2. Hit the pipe going on to the back straight and broke a front lower arm ,another battery pack and the front bumper.

So I know how you feel mate.... shattered..........(pardon the pun)

Hey does anybody know if there is any ag-pipe left over at the offroad track? We could wire some to the bottom of that fence.
Last night there was a heap of cars wedged under that fence. Some ag-pipe would stop them getting damaged when people hit it.

Or if we could get our hands on some more go kart tyres to go the full length of the fence.

Does anybody have any other ideas?

Talking XRAY NT1

There was another car making its debut last night and that was Stuart Pearsons NT1.
He had an OS TG fiited and had Rex drive it for its debut....

First race, Rex went straight to the front and was never headed although he was being chased by Jason Dorn. Very impressive indeed.

Overall, The car was qualified on to 2nd spot and finished in 2nd place to Jason. Rex and Stuart struggled to adjust the gearbox as it was changing into 2nd gear way to early. All in all a very good debut.

As for the Mi3, I didn`t know that someone could have that bigger smile on his face and not have the top of his head fall off, but that was Scott Guyatt last night. To say he liked this new car is an understatement. I forsee a favorable Racing Lines Review happening...

ding...

p.s. Of the 3, Grandpa, Flea and the Reaper only Grandpa came out to play.

Hi Ash,
mate go to....
www.teamassociated.com
then select Support, next select Documents Online/Onroad and Oval, then Nitro Onroad Documents and finally select NTC3FT.
Down load both pages and that is the complete NTC3 manual with how to adjust everything.

Hope this will help sort your gearbox problems.
