The ti-screws are all from Tamiya - I ordered them from rccarinternational.com - you can probably go to the shop to have a look. They are true M3 screws with the 2mm hex button heads. Also I've got some M3s with counter sunk heads. All tamiya. Expensive and not so much weight saved :cry:

Cheers, Mark.


REALLLY nice pick... this looks real good. I like the photoshop filter you added... How did the car run the weekend.

No filter - it's the power of the D1 :D

The run was fantastic!!!! The car is absolutely fantastic. Going through the 90kmh left kink (see right in pic below)
http://www.macn.de/April2004.jpg
there is a bump (due to the 1:5 scale cars braking there) - the 710's rear end was flicked up and got completely sideways....without me having to correct the steering, it just came back in line by itself. This car is really stable! :nod:

At first my lines through the corners were far too tight, as the 705 didn't have so much grip, therefore with the 710 I was going too slow :lol: Sorted that out pretty quick.

I spent a lot of time working on the setup and running stuff in, so I only got about 5-6 tanks and as it started to rain, then the day was cut short after six hours :D Rain also led to an accident which cost me a rim :cry: but the 710 remained intact :nod:

I hope to go to the circuit tomorrow after work - but the weather is going to play a big role in that :nod:

You're really going to love this car - but take your time in putting it together and it'll pay you back 1000 fold! :nod:

Cheers, Mark.

Thank you Mark, I will do it slow and steady:sneaky: and darn carefully. I am glad you loved it, I know I will. I watched a few of the EP guys at the track in the pics, they were ok, one was fast and quiet, which was ok, but I would have loved to have seen the Nitro guys run though. It is a pity they left. it was the end of the day.

He better, Thank you... I cant get over how small, compact and perfectly assembles the box it, I am scared to take anything out as I may damage the box... jokes. But I can say that the quality of the parts is absolutely briliant. I think it even has the new rear shock tower.

For here it isn't so big - it's total length is 235 meters. The biggest one I know of around here is about 340 meters, I think - here's a picture:

This image probably gives you a better impression of the size of my circuit:

http://www.scuderia-fun-and-drive.de.../nuernberg.JPG

It's a prett fast circuit - lots of flat out and lots of braking.

It is a really nice track - it's miles away from anywhere, so I can run anytime I wish - as long as I can see the car, that is. Actually there will be a night race this year - the track will be flood lit :eek:

Again... Congratulations...

I am on my way home now to work on my little one... I am not going to be at work late tonite, I have a dream, and I am halfway there, the ather half is getting on the plane and racing with you guys, and racing with fastharry... and then off to some of the other tracks I have seen that I like.
