An RC free weekend

This weekend we are caravanning – Mt Barney, doing a grazing expedition all day Saturday 5 places of wine tastings and gastronomic delights apparently. Home Sunday.

Sorry to say I will be missing Bayside on Saturday, you all have a good time without me.

Mayhem begins Monday when the courier arrives with the Mi5.

 

Second Hand Mi4CXL

Mi5 shipping

Our Mi5 orders shipped out Tuesday  – due Brisbane (Customs willing) on Monday or Tuesday next week. Start thinking about getting your money together boys.

Tip of the day – if you downloaded a exploded diagram of the Mi5 delete it and download another one – the part numbers for the arms etc have now changed, the arms are now sided and now contain the pivot balls and holders – makes it a lot easier to change arms if nothing else.

At this moment I am unsure when the option arms and the mid motor option will get here.

 

Mi5 Week

For today – I have no news, check back tomorrow.

For tomorrow – Offroad at the Gold Coast from about 3pm

For the weekend – there is racing on Saturday from 5pm at Bayside but I think I am away for the weekend so have fun without me this week.

Here’s a good deal

Race Report: GCRC Indoor “Super Sunday”

Along with regular mid week racing (Tuesday night for trucks, Wednesday night for buggies), the Gold Coast Electric Off-Road R/C Car Club run regular fortnightly “Super Sunday” club races at the excellent GCRC indoor venue.  I made a rare Sunday trip to join the fun at Arundel.  I’m going to try and bring regular race reports (well, not so much “regular”, but a few observations about whatever I find interesting) whenever I manage to get to the (any) track….so figured I’d start with this one.  As usual with GCRC/GCEORRCCC you can find full results at the GCRC website on on their facebook page. Read on for some thoughts.

In today 17.5.13

Plenty of Sorex 32 and 36 premounts, 28 also in stock.

Thunder Power 21.5 motors – the must have motor for this class.

Speed Passion Reventon Pro ESC and 17.5MMM combos coming Monday

Plenty of Schumacher parts for Onroad and Offroad cars and buggies

 

Here comes another weekend

Saturday – Vintage at Boondall 9am – Heavy will be there till noon.

Sunday – Onroad EP10  and GP10 Logan from 9am – Heavy will be there till racing’s finished.

Sunday – EP10 Offroad at the Gold Coast Indoor 8 am – Scott will be there.

Sunday – EP10 Offroad Chargers Redbank.

Mi5 nearly good to go


The latest goss.

"Schumacher have been let down on the supply of the final part.
It should have been there today but now it is due on Monday.
If this part is correct and passes quality control then we could well have cars
as early as Tuesday but we will not know for sure until we have the part here and
passed QC.

We are so very close but just this final part of the puzzle to be complete."

Hold on guys - for the Brisbane guys you should definitely have your cars
built and run a couple of times before the Interclub. Should be here around 27th.
