Paulramage Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Interesting, making a mould may not be so easy though, I suppose I could juts dip it in a bowl of it until it drys, and then cut/trim around it : I'm gonna pop into the bike shop this week and gt some handlebar tape to cover it when it's finished. It's about 90% there though so well chuffed, just a few little screw alignment issues and some feet and that's it done What size tubing / piping is the feet for as you can get rubber casters fitted to a bolt used for baths etc they may help or use foam tubing for pipes and put some over as tht would work too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcrallyuk Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 See when you guys go out. I saw some vids that you all do jumps n things. Do any of you have any good areas that will be really good for rally's. Im from East Kilbride and i don't yet have a RC car so i am doing some urban trekking finding some really good places that i can start mini stages on. the car im looking as is the kyosho DRX Nitro so i know it will handle most of the outdoors. Do you guys know anyone over this end that would be up for going out after Xmas to do some Mini rally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loonynino Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hi guys, just wanted to see if anyone is coming to the track on Sunday, as weather going to be good. Initially me, Robert and Paul are planning on going crawling again, but this might be the last chance for a good sunday bash so if you guys are coming then we might join u guys instead. Please let us know in advance. I will also take this oportunity to see if any of you guys are considering trying out crawlers. Ideal for winter when the fast stuff cant get out. You can ask Paul, lol, hes been hooked since first time out. I will try and put up some more vids on my youtube channel for you guys to see what we do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
