My RS Turbo

Don't let it get to you.... you will always get people who object.... but there are also ways to counter their arguments. 1) Consider getting hold of a decibel meter and get someone to take some readings to measure how loud things are. 2) Consider restricting what exhausts can be used to those compliant with current race regs. 3) Try to find some locals who support what yo uare trying to do by organising and regulating an activity that otherwise would happen without any control 4) Stress the benefits of the thing....giving the youngsters somethign constructive to do etc. in a controlled, safe and managed environment. For every village there shall be an idiot..... Sometimes they get their views in print when a local paper has nothing better to do. You just have to ensure you can drum up some support and get a few letters written to local council members etc. in response to the newspaper article.

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this," and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival. Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go." The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a State trooper. I thought you were bringing her back." "Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper

is it me, or does anyone else, have the same experience of selling items on MSUK? Comparing this forum with maxbashing, it appears that most buyers, take the approach that take the price you ask for and deduct 30% and thats the price. People dont even PM you they brazenly put comments demanding you meet there needs. How can this selling experience be improved..... ANYONE?

Should just have a all in price that cover's the part/ postage and fees

i share your thoughts on this and i can appreciate the time to post but i dont think much can be done, i find a simple . no thanks surfices on many occasion.

Well the weather looks gooooooooooood for Sunday :) :)

Put it this way iv not seen one like it in the 25 years iv known him I only seen it out of his garage no more than 10 times but can hear him kick it up every morning around 10am when he opens his garage up he has it on show upstairs on second floor next to his Porsche, Subaru forester, and his mk1 golf GTI cab :-) best part is he drives round in a bright yellow golf that looks a right banger

I bought an engine with this attached but it wont fit in my marder. The TR/OBR Billet Clutch Housing mounts directly to the motor and the Baja's frame and houses the clutch assembly. This replaces the cast stock housing and is stronger and definitely better looking. The TR/OBR billet clutch housing also eliminates the need for the spacer between the housing and frame. An o-ring and oil seal have been added to this clutch housing. This allows you to use three crankcase bearings in your engine. It's a known fact that the sealed third bearings leak and cause an air leak. This housing will allow you to use three open bearings and still have two oil seals. The benefit is you will not need to rebuild the bottom end of your engine as often. This clutch housing requires that you machine the clutch plate to prevent it from rubbing the seal. Machined clutch plates are available separately. Comes in as new condition with machined clutch plate and good bearing removed from engine. Looking for

I think someone is taking themselves too seriously and has got their knickers in a twist over nothing... I'll give you some simple rules to follow: Rule 1) State a price Rule 2) Accept or reject an offer

Sold to Richard Thanks

Jang beat them to it on his new video...

I think we should all get this vinyl made up for our cars LOL It was my idea so I get mine first MARZY!!!!

Indeed, if you think an offer is too low, then just say no thanks, what's the problem? :/

Just say no thanks....Done.

Here is a copy of the letter i have sent to the paper Hi there Cathy as promised here is a short statement regarding the use of the land at the field of palehouse common crockstead farm halland. Sussex bashers is a freindly group of RC enthusiasts running 1/10,1/8,1/6 petrol , nitro and electric cars we have been looking a site for around 2 years now and was offer the above location for use by crocktead farm to build our track we have now been running for 7 months and have now applied for full planning permission to use the site as a permanent home for sussex bashers rc group. The group consists of around 30+ regular members both young and old some as young as 9 and some as old as 40+. We only run every 3 weeks on a sunday cars are never started or run before 10am and we are finished between 4:30pm and 5pm we have been working closely with the council and our members to keep noise levels down to a minimum and all cars are required to have a silencer fitted. There will be NO permanent structures built on the site and 90% of the field will be untouched by sussex bashers we will only be using the driveway to the track and the areas marked in red on the plans. We are willing to work with all residents of the local area so as to cause minimum distruption to residents. I feel the article in your paper makes it sound like the cars we use are huge this is not the case they will fit on any dinning room table yes they can be noisey but as said above we are working with the council and our member to keep the noise levels down. In the 7 months we have been running we have had 1 noise complaint come through from the council and have acted on this straight away and since then have had 2 further meetings without any complaints. i would urge any resident to come to our next meet which is on sunday the 11th of November to see what we do and what we are all about. We are not a bunch of yobs causing a nuisance with rc cars but a group of normal every day hard working people just trying to enjoy our hobby I would also like to let residents and local people know that were are not connected with crockstead farm and purely just rent the land from them. If you wish yourself or anyone from you paper is welcome to come along to meet the group so it give you a better understanding of our hobby This is a closed group and is not open members of the public as a booking in is required on our facebook page. Many thanks

ill have a hunt in a bit for ya

If weathers good I'll be there to test the power strokes on the Exo and test the new Gopro hero 3 :-0

Fords are clearly the most over rated cars ever! Although starting to like their later stuff, The ST/RS Focus' are awesome for what they are. I also like the MK1 Escorts, and a Forrest Arched M?k 2. But everything in between them and the MK1 Focus RS is a bit too Essex for me! I appreciate a clean Escort Cossie on 18" Rondells, but would much rather have something Jap from that Era! Still, my mates a big Ford Fan, so I go Ford Fair every year =/

Thought i'd update this a little. I have a few more nano's now. The chassis' at the front are, Murcielago (currently having a re-paint ) New chassis ready for the TRP Scirocco body Last chassis has a steering problem,going back to K

really do appreciate the support folks, you lot are awesomes

Yea I've had 6 from you now Sent from my iPhone using Crapatalk.

Love that RC8 shell, must be a lucky person who is having that..........oh wait it's meeeee

Stunning as always!!

Cheers Paul, never realised i'd painted you so many shells appreciate your support mate.

Woooo, ordered the 6mm extended ones as DreXeL recommended! Cheers

Here's a brief process of mine so far. (Might make it its own thread later) Stripped the chassis completely, and covered in black film. I wanted to copy jtheg's carbon effect, but the black stuff only cost me

Cheers mate That's no good mate babysitting on a Sunday yal have to get that sorted ya money grabbing ****er lol

yes no problem mark, my fuel is 25% and have got the starter if you need to borrow,only thing is depending which model it is as to which starter fits. you can use a normal cordless drill with all of them but the actual input shaft can be different, i know the hpi one is different to mine???? still need batteries though mate and 1 set doesnt last that long!! ALOT of overtime!!

Everyone at ndor in Nottingham uses hobao angled spikes I've used these in the wet on astro tuff and they where ace These pal http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=221143949212&index=6&nav=SEARCH&nid=84096442873

That Civic is looking good mate

CR tuned are relatively easy to rebuild, but you have to dissassemble the brush hoods so as you can bend the tabs back on the can. So as the end bell can be released. If you dont remove the brush hoods, you will damage the base plate and it will need straightening. The only down side with removing the brush hoods, is that they will need realigning with an alignment tool.

Hi Martin, Welcome to the forum, lots of good people and great advice on here!!!!! Out the box without any spacers on the suspension is very low, I would say change the shock oils (not essential) and put in the spacers untill you find a ride height you like. Personally for bashing I have a slightly higher ride height than my racing set up. As a second hand purchase, the first thing I would check would be the diff and shock oils, also on first page of this forum has some good tips, other than that just ask away, think between us all on here we can answer most questions!!

Sidewinder?.......

I sense the Grasshopper has much to learn concerning Haiyin-Store Fu X-) http://www.haiyinsto...wh.asp?p_id=207 That battery, being a Truely rated rather than a marketing inflated 40C can handle 200 Amps continuous. Though the "Next button" being a little thing, almost hidden doesn't help ;-)

where in the hell did you get the 1717 from? and the battery tray looks a bit naff for the price they are asking

baja and marder shells fitted to their repective chassis they look ok i think

Still holding up great
