Your English is better than mine Dennis, the only word I can correct you on is "vice" not "wise"

Dennis - You da man, I have just purchased this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Threading-Set-1-x-2-5mm-drill-1x-3mm-tap-and-tap-driver-/270857397740?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Nails_Fixing_MJ&hash=item3f105be5ec and this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminium-Round-Bar-Rod-6mm-10mm-12mm-16mm-19mm-20mm-25mm-Vari...

What about this transmitter and receiver set? Its only 18 quid and comes with free postage!

Here's a few pics from last nights progress, the shocks seem to be working okay now but I have no idea how or replace the uprights. I may even take them to a local engineering firm and see if I can get them made. My dad is retired now but he was an engineer and could replicate all these things.....d...

Let me see if I understand you - again, I apologise for my ignorance but I'm trying to catch up on everything the last 20 years has changed and improved. So If I upgrade to an ESC (which I'm definitely going to do) it draws power from the big 7.2 volt battery and distributes that to the receiver and...

After about an hour or 2 I have the wheels off and cleaned, the rear shocks off, dismantled and working. One was completely seized and needed much persuasion wi...

My dad recently informed me that it was still in his shed so I have decided to try and restore it to its former glo...
