Hi All, I live at the borders of South Lanarkshire/ West Lothian area and as far as I know, RC car hobbysists are not quite spoiled in the area. There are about 3 working clubs in between of Edinburgh-Livingston-Glasgow and they all have their category which they focus on. I am wondering if anyone would be up for starting a club thing. It would be informal meetings etc to start with and we can take it further later on if it goes at all. I would be able to secure indoor space about 30 min from Livingston (our community hall) and plenty of ootdoor space available as well. I would be happy to take on the organizing duties for the time being. I don't have any particular scale or class in mind. I am interested in all classes and scales. However, I am into vintage/ classic/ oldish cars. My collection is consisting of 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/12 nitro/electric cars on/off roads. I also have an on road 1/5. I am planning to get into scale crawlers at some point (1/10 scale). So I guess, I am doing less bashing and more talking, fixing, modding, building, restoring, therefore when I am out, I take care of my stuff. I would imagine the group/ club ethos, on these lines... One other thing: I have no problem spending time with younger folk, but I am in my mid-late thirties… (sigh) and I have a family. So this proposition suits more adults or adult&kid combos. Let me know what you think Thanks,

Hi Folks, I wonder which glue (if any) yus would recommend to fix a broken screw hole (erm.....smile emoticon see picture for clarity..... I have tried super/ crazy/ whaever glue but it is too brittle of course and broke again as soon as I drove the screw through. I was thinking to try epoxy, but any better idea, than epoxy?

I have got an old 1/10th electric Tamiya (M-02L 2(r)wd road), which I have picked up as "not working" from an auction. £55 including postage. Everything came with it, what was recommended at the time (90`s most likely) (acoms tran, etc). The car has Mercedes SLK body, Stock everything, no upgrades, mechanical SC, seemingly hardly ever used. My plan is to gradually build a old/ new fast fun car out of it on a budget out of repro cheap parts. I will post progress and cost to here as I go on. Yes, I can hear you. Probably it would be cheaper to buy a decent one to start with. To me, it is like when folks build tuning cars out of an old golf or something. (or Mercedes SLK in fact) :-) I might do a build video. Here is the car as it is now: Problems so far: Transmitter was not working: Battery was leaking out at some point. After cleaning the solidified acid off, it worked faultless. Until actually the point when I gave a test run and the transmitter switched itself off, while the SC servo stuck on full power, the steering servo stuck to the right. It took me a while till I caught the car... :-D Further cleaning was required.... Purchasing 2x 3300 mah NiMH + dumb&slow charger (new) £29 Replacing the mechanical SC to ESC. Purchased this for £10 (fleebay). Waterproof apparently. New budget 15 turn motor (£10)
