Well racing has been hit and miss recently. I raced in the Ardent Winter series and the European Pan Series last month with not great results. Car has been going good but either my thumbs or outside influences stopped any decent results.
The car has changed a bit recently. First got some new cells:
Orion 6400mah 90C 1 cell Lipos. Thanks to Markus Mobers from Germany, selling them for a fantastic price. They are brilliant cells, loads of punch and they stay really strong for the full 6 minutes.
I have raised the the front suspension slightly to bring the steering arms more level, still not perfect but the car is handling great so will be leaving it!
Got to say many thanks to my good friend Tim Ward for getting me a brilliant Christmas present!

Customised rear cross brace from Mckune Design http://www.mckunedesign.com/
Looks the puppies privates and it really good quality!
The car layout has also changed. Finally got some proper CRC cell locators (after ordering things from Wim at action models for the last 4 months and always forgetting! Cheers to Wim for adding them to my last order after I forgot again!). I have moved the receiver to where the servo was to bring everything in line. This has allowed me to move my transponder further forward and attach it to the back of the servo. I had to make a new aerial mount though as the length of the receiver aerials was only just long enough. The new one was made out of a cut down bodypost and some heatshrink.
Car is currently coming in at 938gms so I am going to not going to bother hunting for more weight saving for the time being.
Thought I would start the new year off with a new shell, same design as before but sprayed better!
Also had a look for some name stickers and came across a company called Graphics Bat http://www.graphicsbat.co.uk/
Love the look of these and they are bargain too. He can do loads of different designs.
Next race is on the 22nd at the Ardent Winter Series. Haven't been racing since last year so can't wait!!
