Originally posted by Marcos.S710 it went ok i hadnt raced for over 2 months and i was trying to get back into the grove. I'm now using Monotuning Tires and they are awesome ,excellent wear and grip and the best part NO CHUNKING!!! I gave my friend a set to try out and he couldnt believe it. In the main i was running in second but had a incident with a slower driver tried to avoid him but made contact anyway:flaming: It pulled my rear pivotball out of the lower arm and was out for the remainder. I was mainly there to test out different compounds of monotuning tires and i tried different set ups on the car trying to get it dialed for the region 4 race in June. I guess i better have better luck next time:D :D |

Originally posted by markp27 :eek: WOOOOAAAAHHHHH!!!! :eek: Now that's a nice body!!!! :nod: Looks better than the real thing :nod: Is the scheme based on a real colour scheme? Yes, it's based on a real colour scheme. I have a 1:18 die-cast McLaren with that paint scheme that I've been dying to paint for a long long time. The original car with that paint scheme was an earlier "short-tail" McLaren, so I had to adapt the paint scheme slightly. The decaling is somewhat based on the original "short-tail" car and also a "long-tail" car. The part that sucks is that the Kyosho decal sheets that I used for the decals and masking are no longer available, so I cannot make this paint scheme again with the proper decaling. :cry: Glad you all like it... it was 'fun' to do. :rolleyes: |

They only deal with precise scale display models, but these guys know their business and if there are some decals around they'd know - I wouldn't mention cars like Serpent or Kyosho, it'd probably confuse the hell out of them :lol: :lol: |

Originally posted by markp27 I't be interesting if what I plan comes off :D I'm also interested to hear about the i-Sight though. :nod: |
Originally posted by Sow&Steady Well, one can only plan ... although the forecast for Nurnberg does not look that good. Let's hope the silly program on my site is wrong! :nod: I'm also interested to hear about the i-Sight though. :nod: The iSight camera is absolutely beautiful!!!! :nod: and the picture quality is very good, too. My old iBook is not quite upto the task of providing a good frame rate thoug :( I really need a new Powerbook :sneaky: :D |

Originally posted by markp27 Master Glenn Cauley has a great article about rebuilding the diff - in his instructions, he suggests using Mugen Super Grease. I followed his instructions and am very happy :nod: http://www.mytsn.com/publ/publ.asp?pid=9580&ccid=9 |
