How often do you guys rebuild your shocks i seem to be doing this before every race meet? i have one shock on the rear which always seems to be softer that the rest if i leave for a week or so i have checked it for leaks and the little holes on the piston seem to be the same as the others is this usuall?
P.S For 'D' i have run the new rear diff now for about 4 tanks and it has fallen to bits! it started with the 3 pins that hold the adjuster to the diff coming out all at one then diff moves from side to side because it seems to thin! Going back to the standard "No frills" diff maybe a bit rougher to turn but at least i know it will do the job!

Keep it elevated when you're not using it.
I usually don't rebuild my shocks that often.
I only rebuild them when I notice that they're not smooth.

Work: mobile phone design - sw side.

I got a temp gauge from Tower for cheap, and I saw the same model, but different colour, for also cheap with a little metal case on rc-mushroom and was mad for not getting it, but it is OK.

Do you know, the rccar guys have still not shipped my equipment as there was a problem with the manufacturing of the brake pads, so I requested other pads, but still... no shipment, I got a mail from them last night, but our most up-to-date windows exchange server went and promptly blocked the mail as there was a fuel nipple with the word typed as ni**le, then corrupted the mail. WINDOWS must be open, not running.

I know, luckily this was a little order, it was for the Stainless steel brake disk and the racing brake pads, and some little things, but I guess I will need to wait till rc-mushroom get it or something, they are just expensive with shipping. Maybe I will need to just get my uncle to get it from HK when he flies there again... He flies the Airbus A310 or A320 (Julius will know) for SAA and HK is one of his routes.

We have both, It is easiest and cheapes to use the normal airmail system, but with insurance, else it may be costly.

Right now, we're doing research on different banks.
Banks have so many hidden charges.
Some charge for making too many deposits a month.
Others charge for writing over a certain amount of checks.
It's hard to make money when the bank is making more money off of you.

I found that the littler internet banks are cheapest and offer a lot in the way of services as they dont need 'branches' as such, so the overheads are less. Only thing is deposits... These are done either at another bank's branches (pre determined). Unless you work completely electronically. I hope you find some of this usefull.

I know what you mean, My bank at the moment is good to me, they charge R50 (<$10) per month and R5 (<$1) per ATM transaction, but the first 4 are free. BUT, as of this the 1st of May, they have changed it slightly, but it is still WAY cheaper than most of the Normal banks, these guys are one in a million, check out there site, I dont think you can use them, but they are a subsidiary of Standard Chartered which is international.

They could close up, and take all my money at anytime.
