Well, i loved RC, and i know it sounds bad, but giving it up was one of the best things i ever did. Money is a nice thing to have

I used to always be on, but lost interest so didnt feel the need to come on. Its pretty hard to keep up with lots of forums, especially when there as big, if not bigger than this one.

I didn't reply on MSN that day because i was out in the car... when i got home you werent online so didnt bother to send anything back

All is good guys, just given up RC's, couldnt keep up with the cost of racing and lost interest once i could drive (real cars). Dont plan to return to RC any time in the near future either :/ Nice to know im loved though

Id read it but i read one line and realised, you cannot/dont feel the need to spell properly and you dont use any punctuation what so ever. /rant over.

Itll be too big. They use Sub-C cells so are a fair bit bigger than a normal receiver pack.

On another forum i visit theres 30 pages about this and some people still havent clicked!

90mm is definatly feasable on a Corsa, go any lower though and you will need major arch work. My brother ended up lowering his corsa about 110mm on 16's and it scrubbed all day long

I also tend to use mine for about 30 minutes on track and i notice they fade a bit after that, reactions are slower and dont turn in as fast as usual. If your just bashing around though its only on and off though really, not as precise as on track etc.

And neither are close to good, end of the end

Good job ziggy, might aswell get the little things out of the way before you do anything else. Also possibly put up the resale value Nobody likes to see rust when there buying a car Joe - Its a FWD car, how do you plan on getting the rear wheels to spin while there in the air?

I was doing some practice ones the other day. Seemed fairly straight forward if you have a bit of driving knowledge. Be sure to read up on road signs, different types of crossing, stopping distances for certain speeds (30, 40, 50, 60, 70) in dry, wet and ice/snowy conditions. Im not sure if its just me but in 17 years of driving i seem to have picked up most aspects of the theory test from just being in the car with parents, friends etc. On my first attempt i got 42 of 50 and then got 49 of 50 so i was happy with that Good luck anyway, hope you pass

Old.

A leiuse battery is what is used in Caravans and such. They have a huge capacitiy and will see you through 2 days of charging

In a word yes. At my club if i had more than one car id be more than free to use it if my primary car was damaged. As long as it is fit to follow the rules then you should be able to use it

Has it been run in? If it had then itll most likely need tuning. Does it bog down as if its overfuelling or is it more high pitched 'scream'

Its nice to see new people wanting to fix there cars themself. More than often you see people wanting to take them to there LHS and having there eyes taken out by overpriced, virtually useless shops which isnt good for the hobby really. Most rc shops these days will try and rob the person because they really dont know how much they should be paying for it to be fixed...

Remove the linkage when its turned on. Centre your throttle trim then put the linkage back on so its lined up correctly, IE carb 0.5-1mm open. Then before you start it, make sure its functioning right. When you pull the trigger it opens, when you push the trigger it closes and applies the brake. Also adjust the idle so that when the brakes are applied the carb doesnt close fully.

Cut them

They added the reserve function for a reason. Dont come back complaining if you start it at 99p and 1 person bids and you get next to nothing. Sometimes taking a risk is worth it but i know id be putting a reserve on it or starting it more expensive.

Got to be Finland for me.... Nice to see the UK represnting well... NOT.

Engine mounting bolts will come loose, can you imagine trying to hold down an engine thats revving at 40,000 RPM +, the vibrations are huge. Id recommend you get some Loctite and put a little bit on all of the bolts for the engine. The servos are known to be weak, but i dont think there are many cars that have a good set of servos when you buy them. Steering arms, well thats just unlucky really, ive never had any trouble with them on mine.

And pulling wheelies on track is what youd class as a good setup? Im sure its personal preference but i wouldnt like my cars front end to come up every time i accelerate.

Well, we cant all be in the know can we
