  1. If you are ever down this way then pop in! We race 10th buggies, 2wd and 4wd. Also Micros, we still have a strong following for the Micros & LWB micros ☺
  2. Our club is called South West Indoor RC! https://www.facebook.com/South-West-Indoor-RC-262447823948047/ We race on the edge of the Cornwall and Devon boarder, each Thursday night. We started out in a barn, a fairly damp barn, then moved into a nice warm permanent venue for a couple of years, but we are on the move again!........and the new place is Massive!! ?? Thursday nights will never be the same again! We will be at the new venue from the first week in December. The tracks are going to be big, something you would expect for a weekend full day race event, but on a Thursday night! Please click on the link for more information and pregress over the coming weeks. Doors open at 5.30. Racing will start at 7.15 sharp and finish by 10.30. One class is £7, 2 classes is £10 ?

  4. Pictures will be uploaded tonight along with the championship points so far
  5. Hi Ian sorry it sold through a Facebook post i put up last night about 5 mins after i posted this advert. It was a cracking car, i'm sad to see it go Not sure about the pm's, i will have a look now.
  6. Hi I'm selling my spare micro, it's an EMB-1 and comes as a complete setup thats ready to race. Charge it up and go Price is £130 posted or £120 picked up from either The Eurotech Arena in Plymouth or TRAC (Torbay) This is a very good price considering what you are getting, the car is set up ready to race. I lent it to a friend who entered the Torbay Micro National round with us and he did very well with it. What's included.... It comes with 5 shells, 1 brand new and ready to paint. 5 lipos (2 of the balance leads need soldering but work/charge spot on), charger, power supply, wheel transmitter, 1 receiver, 1 LC racing 28mm motor, 1 unbranded 28mm motor, 7 sets of wheels and tyres (some foams, Yellow rally blocks etc), front cvd's, spare esc, spare servo, spare pinions, loads of spare bearings, losi mini 8 roll bars, lots of spare screws and a host of spare parts. Arms, spurs, gears etc The car itself is fitted with a 60 amp hobbywing EzRun esc and the spare unbranded motor and is very quick if you wish to turn the punch and your end points up. I've also fitted the Carisma pro pistons to it last month. It handles really well and is a competitive car The only thing that's not included are my custom wing mounts, I have the standard ones included. Also my yellow wheels. Strangley the Wheel transmitter and receiver picture hasn't saved to my phone but i will take another and upload it. Cheers
  7. I'll get loads of pictures this week to upload on here to show you lot what your missing . A visit to the Eurotech Arena should be on your list of top 10 things to do before you die
  8. Oh nice, it fit's properly! Yeah I think i remember now, you have to have the overhang of the wire mounting plate to give you more room over the servo post. Yeah like RCMonkee says we will be at the track by 6pm to set up. I'm aiming for 5.30. Come up and enjoy the racing The only thing I would suggest is getting one of those clip on heat sinks for the motor and a fan. They get crazy hot hot hot.
  9. Just to give the thread a bump Anything going on in the world of GTB's? Anyone fitted anything new ??
  10. Yeah thats the way you want to mount it :), that's spot on! You can push the esc under the top deck a little more or is your servo mount stopping it? It will go under a bit more if you wanted it too. I've not had a chance to get a picture of mine close up but here's a recent one that shows it from a fairly decent angle. I'll get a better one tomorrow. Also, as your esc is sensored you should get a Carisma sensored motor fitted in there. The way the power is put down is just so so smooth
  11. Ok so yeah it will deffo fit. I'll get a picture of mine for you. Also while I remember, do you have the servo mounts in the normal position or is one in the normal and one in the flipped round position. Your need to flip the mount round onto the other side of the servo fixing points to get the esc to fit better, if you've not done this your need to drill a small hole in the chassis to fix the Thumbs mount to. The esc fits in with the sensor port facing the servo. I'll get a picture, it will be easier lol
  12. Ah yeah that can happen, also if the screws are too wide, this weakens the mounts too. I use some short thing screws and the mounts do hold fine. Is the ESC that you run sensored? is it the one like in the link below? If it is i run the same esc with the thumbs design mounts. It is tight but it all fits in ok, you just need to be creative on what way round it all goes lol. I'll get a picture of mine for you. You don't need a different esc, it will all fit in http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/264634/?gclid=Cj0KEQiAh4fEBRCZhriIjLfArrQBEiQArzzDAQdxK8OvaYc9fkvOc0hZagLzKxmriAjb__FrmtOJQpoaApeZ8P8HAQ
  13. Basically what RCMonkee says. Pop up on a Thursday and bring your car with you. The Thumbs servo mounts are really good but are printed so seem to be a bit weaker then others and after time start to crack/split. Our 10th and Micro race night is on a Thursday and doors open around 5.30/6 with racing starting by 7.30
  14. Micro A final from Thursday 16th Dec. Check out the new kicker jump!! We ran the table top in the middle of the track this week. It worked really well. Next weeks layout features a bigggggggggggggggggg jump/tabletop/landing all on the straight
  15. It doesn't look it but the Losi shell must be a fair bit lower than the EMB and GTB shells. The Emb that i have, almost the same car to the Mini 8 runs a Carisma GTB shell and my esc fits under fine, there a fair bit of room between the esc and the top of the shell. The mini 8 shell must be a lot lower because that esc would usually fit in. It might be worth Googling how people fit them? Is the play from the wheel coming from a bearing that broke or is it coming from the hex? It might just need a washer between the hex and the wheel to pack it out a little. Thumbs design do crush tubes that go between the bearings but not sure if they fit the mini 8? It might just be my eyes, i am fairly blind lol but have you still got the protective film on the outside of the wing? Where the stickers are stuck on? I like the carbon towers! Very posh
