2nite dinner with my fiancee`, tommorow gym, mates over for roast dinner, might tune up my R/C's

Sunday morning I might goto Ryper Hobbies and see if anyone show's up for some offroad RACING. Sunday arvo bbq at a mates, farewall style pissup, rocking.

last night after work I finally read my JR XS3 manual! wow it's got some features hahaha. I removed the servo from my XX-T and re-aligned the servo horn, adjusted the steering tierod, and set the car to dead straight (0) so that my JR radio has no trim in it. it's all on 0, nice.... I also programmed my XX-T and the Mini-T into the handset, so I got two model's in there now. It store's 10! so happy, really got sick of constantly changing trim's and settings on my old contoller when swapping between r/c cars.

Next R/C purchases are:

new mod motor for XX-T
new springs for XX-T (if i can get em)
full bearings, dual slipper, alumn steering for mini-T
purchase 6 ot 12 GP 3300 cells to build new race pack's for XXT
2-cell lipo battery for mini-T
Duratrax ICE charger (to charge the lipo)

the Mamba brushless motor/esc should arrive next week. I'll have DEANS on it in no time and will be testing that out at ryper.

Goal is to have the XX-T ready for racing for when you return to Perth for good, so we can both race as a team each weekend. Also prep Mini-T ready for off-season racing at Ryper / wherever.

I know Joe is in... justo is probably in, Joe's gf might even get a Mini-T after she see's the action...

so there's gonna be a fair few of us racing the mini-T's during the wet season, for sure!

I'll be talking with Ryper about the new indoor mini-T track and the season of mini-T racing. I wanna make it all pro.. get loads of people and maybe even have different classes of racing if it permits. (stock and mod).

so much about to happen!

I'm also going to see ozd1rc (ross) very soon for some dorfitibishi tyres so i can crank the TB02 sideways a whole heap more. I've been drawing up some drift courses recently, which will be setup with a garden hose and some corner markers.. cool eh. ready and easy to setup at your local primary school/shops carpark. hehe

so much going on! i sorta went off track from your post :)

Damn, busy!

This weekend, I'm swapping the super low springs out of my Fairlane for stock ones, and putting the super lows in my mates Falcon.

Then, I'm stripping the WRX ready for drags on Wed nite.

MIGHT get the Savage going if I have time ;)

I have to go to an engagement party for someone I couldn't give a shit about (girlfriends old friend) AND pay 30bux to eat (I have better things to spend my money on ;) AND eat Thai food (I'm not a Thai fan) AND go to Northbridge to do this (I despise Northbridge).
