Yeah for sure. I think my only issue is when myself & another are going for a corner line, at what point do you decided to give it or try for it

I learnt more about this skill today trying nitro on-road at Lilydale this morning. But I have to say it's alot easier on-road then off road. Maybe thats just me tho first time at the track, racing my nitro for the first time as well & took 3rd in the second race.

I enjoyed that battle yesterday Glenn in 4wd Stock. Kovac's and myself may appear in more stock races in the future..
Was a good race! If you guys race we may even have 2 heats of 4wd stock!

Too true Ant

As for this wanker below - I only went for two races & thought I'd share the experience. Plus I thought I did ok for my first time. Thought that was the idea behind forums?

Some people need to find better things to do with their time then post under false nick names instead of posting as who they are if they have something to say. Utter wankers
So who ever you are - stop hiding & say what you have to say - no need to hide

One must really wonder what ppl think when they read these forums sometimes. Perhaps a bit more positive talk about the club and racing in general might be better than ppl usin alias and making smart comments. I know it is all in fun but it has nothing to do with the club or rc cars.

Hey Gang,

Just got back from Toy Fair. Darrin at Ace Hobbies (Team Associated Distributor) had flown in 4 x SC10 for the show and handed one over to me today. Awesome!

In comparison to the Traxxas Slash I'd say it's almost as big (maybe 90%) but more importantly it's light! And I don't mean a little little bit lighter - it weighs nothing. Will have to get building and run it in truck class.

The SC10 is the Slash Crusher!

Are Knox members eligible for a discount on said SC-10?
