yeah i had an awsome time running the buggy, pitty about the slick tyre being faulty but thats racing ! i had traction rolls at first but after adjusting the ride height, droop and toe out it was heaps better, i had a blast in the grass as well, went off the track a couple of times and just had some fun offroad lol, i think i'll stick to offroad from now on, the buggy was fun at LH with the slicks but offroad is so much more fun !

i might head up to MV saturday arvo if the weather isn't too bad. it is forecast to be raining again though. I guess MP is off again due to weather & father's day, the track is pretty wet today. I'm not real keen to run the car if it's as muddy as last time, i only just got the mud out of the foam inserts & the wheels put back together sunday night. another alternative is the oval by the airport & some home made ramps.

i'm only going back to MV if the track is bone dry, it was a nightmare cleaning all that mud off the buggy, i even had mud on my face and in my hair and my shoes looked as bad as the car, lol

i got some more fuel tubing today and used it to make a longer pressure line for the new pipe, i also bent the header slightly so my pipe doesnt hit on the fuel tank !

have you had any problems with exhaust seals getting brittle and splitting etc not long after they are fitted Jason ? i need 2 get a really thin seal for my header onto the motor, HH didnt have any

i have only had one seal go bad. it was a thunder tiger one. all the other seals i have had have been fine. i've had one for over 3 years now on my ST & it is still in good condition. the OS ones have done well for me.

What, no jumps and lots of noise! Needs a new muffler. I'm sure my 540 B4 would beat it in speed

G`day ppl`s,

What are ppl`s thoughts on the "REX X`s", I`m thinking of getting a Nitro off road the near future 1/10 or 1/8.

One of my club members has a couple of "REX X`s" in his shed doing nothing...not sure whether there Pro`s or not, so what`s the going rate for a 2nd hand one.

Cheers
