Cool - I'm booked in for Sunday. I put myself in as ability 4. Have you seen some of the names booked in? There's some big guns entered! Cool

No pressure.

I'm in, both day massive!!

I put ability 6 - hopefully enough to keep me out of the bottom heat.

In my experience you get dragged down to that level - it was like a destruction derby in heat one at the Petit!

Mr Chester

Keep me posted on the spare car requirement cheif.

As it's a mixture between high and low grip, I would assume that with the exception of a slight adjustment on ride height you pretty much want it as LBC?

It has a one way lay, but I can switch it to front diff. ?

It has a 5.5r in their, but there is an option to have a 6.5r?

Also, I am not going to change my rating, I think it would be better we were in different heats - 2 reasons, you can use the S4 and I can use the ZX in the event of disaster and also, our racing this year has been so close, I don't want us to get in each others way! Laughing

It has a Spektrum rx in there. I can't remember what tx you use?

Or you are more than welcome to alter the set up yourself. Probably best do it here as I have the parts (Somewhere Shocked

)

Anyway - keep me posted and we'll sort it out. In a way, I want you to run it. GO TEAM CRUNCHIE! Laughing

Mr Hubbard

Current situation is that Steve T has bought & paid for the x5 (sensible to have a back up car when he's driving 200 miles every week)....

I'm going to give it two weeks, if there's no sign of the 'plastic destroyer' by then I might have to have a re-think (CML quoted 2 weeks but I remember the B44 fiasco at Petit last year (deja vu))!

If I don't buy a CAT or a Predator Laughing

, then your offer would be gratefully taken up Smile

I run Novak GTB speedo & motor with Sanwa radio - as long as there's a speedo, motor & servo in there, the receiver only takes seconds to put in.

In the event of disaster, I'll have a 2wd ready to go at the meeting as back up regardless (if you break two cars you might end up racing my buggy!)

Cheers for the offer

As for set up....

Judging by my performances at the Petit & the LBC Indoor meeting I clearly have no idea about indoor car set ups at all!

As for motors, I'd run 6.5 in 4wd & 7.5 in 2wd on all that slippery stuff - but as I said, what do I know

Ben

You can always use the X5. I have a spare belt

YES! Looks like we can fill a final on our own..which one though? Very Happy

ben · Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 7:30 am Post subject:

Only one more required & we're guaranteed not to fill the bottom final!

Come on JohnM & AndyE - we need the big guns (We can always bring a blanket to put over the AED4's!)

SteveT · Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 7:38 am Post subject:

I will be aiming to get there at 07:30 so as to get a decent pitting space.
I would suggest that everyone else does the same as it can get a little cramped.
Ben C, Do you need to use the X5 ....or have you bought the new car yet.
The Cat SX is in stock at MK but the B-Max is cheaper even with the racer kit..........

Steve,

I've removed all my gear form the X5 now...
I know what a pain it can be testing & setting up the cars at these meetings (especially when they impound the transmitters).
So I'd rather have a car running properly before I get there.
Thanks for the offer but I doubt I'll need it

I should have a car sorted by then (whether it be a B-Max, CAT or a used D4), failing that I have an offer to drive the Lazer, failing that I have a 2wd.

Do you know if MK have the B-Max in stock yet or when it is expected?

SteveT · Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 10:44 am Post subject:

Ben

MK says that they are expecting them before the end of the month but this has not been confirmed. However, MK are in CML's hands on this one.
Also there is a possibilty that the kit may only be available in basic form to start with and the racer kit would be sent later.
To be honest, even with the racer kit, The yok looks like a plastic fantastic and would need further updates.
The cat would not need any immediate updates and is available now so you could tune it and maybe even run it prior to the MK meeting.
However, this is just my opinion and I can't even build a diif right....

Ben, In the absence of a Broco Wasp, AED4, B4000 or other such exotic - it has to be the CAT SX, surely? Cool
