Malta!

So December 2010 I posted about being in a new town... This December I'm on an Island in the Mediterranean. I've been living and working on Malta now for several months but have simply not had the time or transport etc to go bashing or racing. But I've got some new kit and new Cars (Vaterra Twin Hammer) and will commence some new bashing etc soon.

Also I'm hoping to race nitro 8th scale this coming year so that in-turn will mean a new car and a new build article.

I'm looking forward to 2014... hopefully will have some good times in Malta for at least a few months more..hopefully longer.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Mini Willy Build...

Just for fun I'm making a Wild Willy style body shell for my iON 1:18th buggy... The aim is to not alter the buggy so I can still use it for basing.

DEX210 GO GO GO!!

I've fixed the drive shaft issue :D

Was actually the CVD pin. It was not properly seated and a quick re-build sorted it all out.

Can't wait to finish the build and take it to a track.

DEX210 update

I have a diff prob...

Something I've done during the construction of my Durango has caused an odd movement in my drive train...

Something somewhere in the differential is offset and causing a wobble across the drive... it's very odd and I've not figured it out yet. I have a feeling that I'll need to get the geared diff upgrade and see if that sorts out my issue....

I think this weekend I'm going to strip down the entire rear end and see what's what...

New Bash Buggy inc!

I love micro's..and probably drive my Himoto Troian 1:16th more then most of my cars...so I've got another micor!

In the next day or so a new 1:18th Maverick Ion XB should arrive, I can't wait. I've watched several vids of this chassis type and they look a lot of fun. Very durable it would seem and very quick, over 30 mph!

Best of all they can fit in a day sack and travel with me all over the place.

I'll probably get the larger set of truggy tyres eventually and possibly some of the alloy upgrades.

Gonna be fun :)
