QRC

Practised with the place to myself, not even a screaming nitro engine yet on the other track yet😂

Schumacher Cougar Classic

Ready for a practise day at the track 🏎️🏎️

If get into drifting there is the monthly meet at Risby, West Suffolk Drift Rc club 👍

A group of us, back in the day, used this area Thetford way Dropped pin https://maps.app.goo.gl/QFTdJ1KmskNKv8QX9?g_st=ic

Welcome, if it’s crawling trails you are after, Thetford forest is always a good free visit. Otherwise there are a number of tracks/ sites with crawling tracks/trails. Cambridge RC raceway has its newly refurbished massive oval for 1/5 and 1/8th scale, they have spent a lot of time and effort building a crawling area in the woodland next to the track. Check out FB for more info. Further a field there is HNMC with a dedicated crawler course, very extensive and well looked after these days. Beds electric car club, have moved sites and are in the progress building new trail/ track.

Herts bashing track beckons ?

I am going this Friday hopefully drier weather …😂

Out of nowhere pulled the 5ive out of a 5 year hibernation, initially would not start, quickly solved, the coil had dropped. Then wired up the Dark Soul twin servo direct power harness and got it correct the first time…😂. My local raceway has had no activity this year, thought it had closed for good, but found last night it will be back up and running next week, I had no prior knowledge before getting the 5ive, spooky or what…..😮😃😎

Diff oil choices have been made, 10k up front, 7k in the rear. Trying to cover all options of use, it will used on an outdoor astro track, indoor carpet and the garden grass track….. Looks like once the diffs are in, there will be a lot to disassemble for removing and change the oil….

Well as soon as the words ‘Classic’, ‘Vintage’ and ‘Legendary’ are used then the price will reflect…🤣.

The Javelin is part of Kyosho legendary series re release buggies from back in the day, it shares the same platform as the Turbo Optima. The quality of these and presentation is second to none. But that said they are not cheap, but hey what is in this hobby is….😂 Just need to do a little research on the diff weight oil peeps have been using, the manual shows the use of grease, that’s not happening on my watch….😂

Just finished work, not back for week, so the build will start in earnest….😃…..better get a move on, a Top Force will be inbound very shortly…😎

I won’t be using chain with a brushless set up…👍

Haven’t done a build thread for a while so this one deserves it, a classic from the ‘80s with a modern twist. Great to see how the style of packing has been replicated, with parts on display. Option of chain and belt drive, ball bearings and tyre foams included. It will be having a Savox 1258, HW XR10 justock and 13.5T.

time for a trip down memory lane, with a modern twist, vintage racing incoming 🏎

I still love mine, but I am lucky to have a number of areas to run them in the middle of nowhere and have two tracks very close. You have got ask yourself how much you are will to spend and continue spending on all the shine upgrades….😎

Yes it is worth it if you, 1. Have the space to run it with annoying other peeps and safely, I am not a fan of peeps running them in public parks. 2. You will have to spend your hard earned cash on maintenance and number of upgrades, kill switch being the first. 3. If you maintain the car, it will run with very little issues. Just some some of my humble thoughts…..

late Xmas present from my eldest son, luckily his best mate works for Lego and gets 40% off with staff discount.

HNMC basher track FTW…😆

Racer being used as a basher, I have the 3.2T which will be raced and bashed. Parts are cheap....

What’s your budget ??
