I didn't realise it was a public holiday until yesterday....I had to call my boss to find out whether it was true and I didn't need to work today :P

nice one! i started pulling down and cleaning my xxx4g+, no damage, all good, just cleaning the crap off the diff and cvd bearings mainly.. and re-assembling. definately need to get some RPM ball cups?.. and maybe some slightly longer Ti turnbuckles for front camber adj'ment.. not confident with the ones that are on there. (possibly too small)

more pics of your own car rebuild? or didnt get to that?

as always thanks for ya help mat, i'm lucky to have such a good pit crew!

For all of you who don't know much about on road cars.. this thing is a monster... with in two laps i had started lapping people in the naional tryouts!! after that though i hit a nail id say then the whole bottom plate stripped itself... ever seen layers of carbon/graphite ripped away from each other? i have and it aint pretty on your own car.... As this thing is so quick going from the tt01 class to this i need a bit of practice the tt01 was an awesome car as i was getting first but moving up to the next leevl for nationals i definately need mroe practice with this thing as i did the tt01

Anyways this thing flies! even came in 100 grams too light for national racing specs! Now am adding a carbon fibre rear strut tower... make that 110 grams too light, will have to find more 50 cent coins to weigh it in again!!

Thank matt!!

When are the nationals? I know they're at Rypers, but not sure when. Must still be a fair way away what with the current work going on there. I'll have to come with the camera again :D
Damn i'm as addicted to photography as RC! Not sure which is cheaper though!
