Evening guys, after a 6 month or so break I will be returning to Donny for some more touring car fun.
Be good to catch up with you all and I do miss the bullying potential!
I have also decided to dump XRAY this time and go to the darkside with a TC6.1
See you all soon guys!

Just been grumpy at the mo, so here you go Dave...(from a post on oople)
Any one looking to by a 6.1, I would think again, by the tc6 (£200) and a geared diff and save ur self sum money. The 6.1 c hubs have problems and can break with out impact, the drive belt wears it self badly against the top deck, and the spool eats blades and in doing so the out drives get damaged. (Tc6 slipper spool has metal out drives). The design of the new c hubs isn't great u hav to glue in the inserts or end up with loads of slop in the front end, so why not just fit the standard tc6 hubs.

Hey welcome back, Just thought i could add a few things about the car, as said the c-hubs did have a slight problem in the first batch where air bubbles got trapped in the plastic during the moulding which has been sorted now by AE, a lot of people have missed this and blamed the design of the new c-hubs. theres also no need to glue in the caster inserts, i havent done so on any of my c-hubs nor has anyone else what i know of. Since last year ive replaced 1 front and 1 rear belt on my cars, the front was due to it becoming stretched after over 6 months use and i had the rear belt snap at an outdoor meeting after more than 6 months use again. I think using the slipper spool inside is the better option as it has some give in it compaired to the new solid unit with plastic outdrives, but i cant see you having any trouble with the spool If you have any questions on the build, set-ups or car in general feel free to get in touch with me through here or you can drop me an email anytime ( benputtrc@gmail.com ) and ill do my best to help you out with your car See you around!
