Dear Dr Lowtech,
I am having some problems with corner speed in my nana's wheelchair. I think there is a problem with the flexible rigidity of the chassis. Do you have any suggestions I can try? She's really suffering with her straightline corner speed!
Confused.

Hi Doctor Lowtech,
Ever since my dad (thats what mum says to call him) met Simon Cox through my sister Narelle, he has taken an active intrest in my radio control car racing. I think he is having trouble with traction compound & I hope you can help him as I think he need it.
I overheard him talking to his male friend in my mummy & daddies room while mummy was at nanna's for the weekend. They were talking about "rubbers". I heard my daddy say "Derek, I cant get it to work" "Its too hard". Derek, who only comes over when mummy is away said something about KY Gel, which I think is a Trinity traction compound I think(I remember Racing Lines did a review of it im pretty sure). Anyway, I heard daddy say "Oh gosh, its so slippery" "I cant get traction" Derek musnt of liked it either because he was saying "How much of that stuff did you use, I've got no feeling?". I was going to walk in and suggest they they try foam instead, because I heard all the fast guys use foam. Just as I was about to open the door, I heard Derek saying "Faster...faster....faster" & he sounded really happy. Then I heard dady saying "Oh gosh....Yes Yes Yes...........Its so sticky" so I guess they got the KY & rubbers to work?
Dr Lowtech, do you reccomend KY Traction compound on rubbers? If so, is it normal to start off really slippery & finish off very sticky?
Thankyou

Im really glad i've managed to find you because I had to find out for my sister Narelle if you were free on the weekend, because she has a TAFE assignment due called "the worst head i've ever seen" & I think she wants to take your photo. She is in Simon Cox's TAFE class, you know Simon dont you, he is the guy who you are always behind on the track (& dad reckons you're always behind trying to bum him in your dreams too)
Being a fellow Tamiya driver, I was wondering if you have any worthwhile legal tips for me, I have a TAO3F TRF. Am I better off running 7 cells in my car, cranking the comm with my screwdriver, or changing armatures for the best results?
Thankyou

What course is Narelle studying at TAFE? Hairdressing?

Narelle is doing "Hollywood Hairstyles". She didnt get good enough grades at school to do hairdressing, on the count of the three babies she had & the 7 miscarriges.
