well it was a well timed joke MRT VX Pro hot lost in the post for a couple weeks and my borrowed speedo had to go back. Now my MRT has shown up and is on it's way back to me in the post plus I have my new M.Troniks sponsored speedo on it's way
So the MRT is now for sale

I was wondering what Dave had the LRP for in the first place

I thought they were clear in the kit, but if you got left over black ones, those are fine, all the same thing. Cram them in there as deep as they'll go, this will prevent the 1 way drive cup from sliding itself out of the 1 way.

Hermie has some guts to be running a reverse ESC on a 1 way car..

But now the question is what the heck were you doing with a reversing ESC???

Yeah, had problems downloading it too. May try again l8r.

Got to get ready to race it tonight, just a motor to put in once the drive train has bedded in a bit, a body shell to cut out and batteries to charge

Oh and got to get myself ready too....hmmmmm. Might be late tonight

LOL, I would have to be nuts to run a one way indoors OK it's been one, when I first got the Cuda and didn't have a spare diff yet but with a one way one clean lap is an acheivement

It wasn't too bad since the car was nice and stable, just had to think twice when applying "brakes" Luckily with the new chassis brakes weren't needed too much, the way the car now turns in without spinning into the wall was quite amazing at times.

I was using it because my main speedo is in for repairs and I've been borrowing one for the last two weeks, but that had to go back to the owner. Don't know what I'll do with the LRP now, maybe it'll make a good paper weight

Gazza - Where did you get the red fron & rear hubs? Can't find any stock anywhere.

If anyone has any red hubs or shaft holders I'm interested
