this is the first apart from the other day i have heard of the fins breking loose on the cooling heads , do they break away in the same spot on every head ?

+1 on that.

Haven't had one break on me yet, but I have seen a couple at the track.
It's hard to break anything when you aren't racing because it keeps raining every weekend Looks like another another wash out this weekend too
Only up side is I have saved a small fortune on nitro and tyres

grizz it a positive in its own way i guess

BUT YOU MUST FEED THE ADDICTION

i missed out racing last weekend to due to very bad weather hope its better when i get home next week

Running in a new Gen 5 5 Port for another racer, workiing on my latest project (1/8 on-road thrash machine), and of course talking with you fellow nitro heads, has kept me sane during this weather. So I am not totally nito-less But I am itching to get out on the dirt and DO IT !!!!!!

Don't worry Grizz we maybe getting our new pipes this weekend

so at least that will give us both something to sit and look at untill the next break in the weather

Hey Grizz,you should come down to Taranaki,we are racing this weekend and the forecast is sh*t hotI`ve got about 16tanks through the 5.5 5port so should be able to give it a little tweak for the weekend

Retro,don`t burst my bubbleI was going on what Jim said last night.His map showed the Naki missing all the crap and sunshine all weekend.I just hope he has it right for a change.Way too long between races,especially with the new combo.

Man I hope for your sake he's right but Metvuw's normally pretty good, there are still a few days before so things can change... well I hope they change it's been way too long between dirt fixes for me

And RC racer is off line aswell

LOL, you guys are HOOKED just as bad as I am!!!

Hi ya Adrian - Hmm 2072 pipes this weekend, that would be nice.

Looks like the RC Racer boys forgot to pay their web hosting bill

I hope the weather clears for Hamilton. I am really looking forward to a playing in the dirt, and catching up with the guys. All this being stuck inside and at work has made me a little stir crazy. Even our on-road carpark meetings have been cancelled the last two fortnights in a row - so NO NITRO
Hope to see you at the Tron on Sunday.

Doesn't it just rip your sack when the weather is awesome during the week, and then takes a turn for the worst on Sundays?

Last time out we just started racing when it began raining, so we decided to do a single race in each class. This is what my cars looked like after 1 race.

Buggy was first, so no major problems:



Next came truggy:



And last was the Slash:



This winter the weather is even crap in Hawkes Bay!

dam man those cars are dirty have fun cleaning

cant wait for summer again wet weather is crap i here you always nice during the week and crap on the weekend

It wasn't quite so much fun cleaning them as it was getting them dirty.
I think winter can really pack it's bags now and let summer come back.
