creativechris racing career. step by step report.

[4eyes]

Many electric races or is it mostly nitro?

Do you mean 8th electric? Usually about 8 electric racers. Sometimes about 50% of us. Never had an electric only race tho,they just mix us all together!

[creativechris]

he has a trophy truggy flux.

[creativechris]

a few bits n bobs coming for the buggy, either tomorrow or monday, most likely monday as im unsure if ups deliver on Saturdays.

[creativechris]

stripped the car down today, new oils in all the diffs and gave the car a good check over.

after possibly the worst start of the racing career in the history of losi racing, the car has faired very well in deed. despite many fast collisions with jumps and wooden posts, the car in unscaved to my surprise.

no rust on the car, no real damage to any of the parts other than 1 rounded screw which was down to my incompetence anyway the car is in the perfect nick.

next to order is a new air filter, wing mount + wing, fuel and a decent charger.

here is a video from one of the weekends it endured at swindon. very wet however extremely good fun! but i must advise to water proof the electrics as best you can.

I gonna take my hyper down to a practice day hopefully. Then a race day. Will probably end up going on my own. Keep me posted when your going next if you don't mind me tagging along

[creativechris]

yeah by all means mate, its cracking day miles better than bashing IMO.

However I don't think il be going for a while simply due to what i need.

Fuel

wing

wing mount

charger

engine mount screws

and a decent engine heater with 12v battery.

But, if your considering racing, bring the hyper by all means but you will quickly realise the potential with starter box's, after a days racing your arm will fall off believe me haha!

where abouts do you live may i ask mate? if its on route to bath (ish) then i don't mind going the extra and bringing you with me, be nice to catch up anyways as its been a while! haha

[Randum]

You could make your own engine heater for about

[creativechris]

yeah, mark is away at the moment for his birthday, but the dates are on the site mate.

and thats no big deal will add 20mins to the jouney if that, no biggy

[creativechris]

oops!

[.AJ.]

Nothing a hammer can't fix

[creativechris]

crazy and it was bent forwards as well, so i must had landed upside down and the hole weight of the car must had forced the wing up and the mount.

[creativechris]
