Put it in a box, with all the bits, and send it to me. I'll pay the postage.

I use chrome, the only problem is that some websites have been written for IE, so it pays to keep a couple of browsers. As for Open Source, chrome is the popular face of the chromium project, an open source collaborative project which is forming a big part of ChromeOS.

could you not set up a VPN to access your home PC from school, then browse t'internet through that? Or alternatively, if you really are at a loose end, as if you can help out the techs? They will have you playing with whatever they are doing, and eventually will see that you know what your doing, and then the perks and priviledges will start coming.

That's what I was thinking, cheers mate!

Right, see what the diagnosis from the group is: Schumacher Rascal, standard transmission. There's a strange thing happening with it. When you start the car at idle, the engine fires fine, but when its idling you can hear a strange noise, like a scrapey kind of sound. Imaging zipping up a zip really fast. The rear wheels will twitch and kick aswell. If they have too much traction, instead of kicking a little, they will grip and the engine will cut off. With the engine off, you can rotate the spur gear probably somewhere between 1/8th and 1/4 turn without the rear wheels moving, feels like a spring building up pressure, and will return to the same place. My spider senses say clutch, but wanted some input and other ideas. Ta.

I have an ikea set, which when coupled with a made of cheese petrol station ratchet driver does me fine. Although, I only ever need a torx bit, 7mm, 5mm and a flat screwdriver.

Engine dying at full throttle is definately down to High Speed Needle setting. From where you have it set, turn it an eighth of a turn clockwise. Do a high speed pass. Better or worse? If its better, your going the right way. If its worse, go an eighth the other way. Better? Go another eigth the same way. Better or worse? If its better, keep going, worse, go a 16th of a turn back etc etc. Its hard to get right, and it is a bit of a black art initially, but take your time, make small changes and don't change more than one thing at a time. Awkward starting is down to it being new, and not tuned quite right. If it starts, you'll get there with a bit of tuning. Smoky grass isn't really a problem, my mate's revo does exactly the same, and smoke means that the engine isn't running too lean, which can cause damage. Finally, revs rising may be clutch slip, but its more likely that as the engine warms up, it is running leaner, which is causing higher revs. Which is why you should tune your car for when its warm.

The problem with ebay is that its becoming a victim of its own success. With so many commercial sellers, Ebay has to do something to protect buyers, however they don't think about the little guy trying to flog odd bits and pieces. Buyer protection is now so good that I am scared selling things on ebay. I sold a Wii the other day, couldn't charge more than

Just fitted a new Y Lead on my rascal, the efforts where you can charge your receiver pack without removing it, as my old one was a bit melted. Seems now that not a lot works. Now i'm not 100% on this, because the battery is flat, but after an hour on charge plugged it in, flicked the switch and the servos didn't even twitch. What i'm wondering is this: The lead has one female into the switch (which connects to the male on the battery), and two males, one of which goes to the Rx and the other stays free to plug into the charger. Would there be a difference in using either male? IE have i plugged the wrong one in? I did use the lead for charging, but the light on the charger only came on when i flicked the switch on the car, which is what started me wondering.

Cutting is easiest done with a scalpel, craft knife or blade. Score the line you want to cut, and then break the lexan by folding it in. Wheelarches and stuff are especially tricky, but score your line, then use a decent pair of scissors to cut 'spokes' up to the line you scored. Then break off each tab. Gives a nice clean line, and don't need any special tools.

Got mine half way done, receiver out and washed out with WD40 to get all the sand out, put everything back inside a condom, just got to get a few cableties to seal it all up. As an aside, and I know this isn't a great subject, will condom lube do any damage?
