First time I'm seeing the "angry" side of Julius. Hey Julius, I think he expects you to pick him up via business class.

Hey Mark, you should just make the trip with whatever equipment you have. I'll do that if I were you. Living so close to Holland, I'm pretty jealous. I'm sure you'll get some stuff that you can borrow or some kind soul (like Julius or Rene <ahem>) would be generous enough to donate some stuff to you.

In theory that is. I always get slowed down because I have to run after my car with my transmitter and a backpack with fuel, starterbox and tools.
But next Saturday I'm going to a metal festival in my home town.

I found on mine it does the same. Especially if the track is bumpy and if you use very limited droop in the front. I must say that the belts and pulleys are very durable for the things we do to it.

Crashed_1 has been using the front and main shaft too from 3 Racing and I have not heard any complains yet. Believe me if he complained, I would be the first to know !
I know. On the other hand, the guy is generous with kudos too.

OK, here's a suggestion, get yourself a 1/4 scale formula 1 car, sit in it and then chase your 710 all the way to MACH. Of course you'll need the skill to use two seperate controllers simultaneously to drive both cars but if you can headbang all weekend and still stand up at the same time then 2 controllers in a doddle!

I installed the carrying handle in the alu mounts, and then went to tighten the small grubscrews... twist... strip...
The alum. has the strength of lightweight cheddar cheese.

I haven't had a chance this week to do more engine break-in.
I will probably do it on the weekend.
I plan to put in my NovaMega pipe with new header, and give that a try.

Just got my 710 back together eventually! My parts came today
Tomorrow evening I will attempt to do a run-in - pity the parts hadn't come a little sooner

Guys, Thanks for the help with the shocks...I went home and they are not even rebounding at all???? I have been sooo busy at work that I do not have time to re-build them (and probally will not for the next month 
). But you guys say that they are good and that I must learn to build them correct, than I won't give up.
Also, InitialD...how are the RC tracks in Mordor, and can the Orcs drive good (I did not see anthing about that in the movie)

One problem solved.
Now I'd just like to know how I can start my nitro-powered starterbox.
