How much fun!!??!!

[niceguyteddy]

Hi to all,

Wow!

A few weeks ago I ordered a new rolling chassis. I had so many probs with old car, I thought $22 was ok. I went for the Subaru, I used to live in Banbury where the Prodrive World Rally team are based (and Aston Martin Lagonda!!) also have found 1/24th 555 decals for the racing livery. Will post pics soon.

I had almost forgotten the joy of assembling a brand new kit! I took a few days over the building and 'planting of components, bearings etc and made a foam bumper. My receiver must be knackered I have 10' of range anywhere. Now using my 2 channel Futaba from my 1/10th days (HUGE) but range is superb.

QUESTION: Anyone recommend a compatible small receiver??

As for driving, I had also almost forgotten how much fun this car could be! I now run outside in our private car park area, this is only achievable on O/l tyres. This car is really quick on 6 cells but the extra mass and raised cg will make it roll now and then. Will be following tips on o/l tyre mounting. Have had some reallly quick runs so far though!!

QUESTION: Any advice on high speed stability?

Next I will be closley following pics on xmod suspension mod, anyone want to sell me a spare set of shocks? (R.S. hard to get in UK) IMO this would be the holy grail, 4 independant oil shocks and shaft 4WD!

Will post pics on my car etc.

I love this car, it is perfect. Fast, very agile and fits in my pocket!
