Great nights racing, tried a new brand of tyres from Mb and tbh, they're pretty good for £8 per set including wheels and inserts......your never gonna win an A final with them but for 8 quid they're alright.....if anyone wants any I've got 14 sets available.

The race meet was a great success, any one missing this series is really missing out. The track lay out was fast and flowing with two trying chicanes. I'm not to sure about the reverse grid 10 poll to 1 at the back. This men't the faster drivers coming from the back by any mean's possible not so much in the lower heats but the a final was carnage.

Shame I couldn't make it sounds like a good meeting will be at rest of them!

The A-final reverse grid was fun but the speed difference of some of the cars was a bit difficult to judge when in close battles, meant it was quite hectic

Quality night while it lasted and the track was also awesome. Shame my driving and my fast yet fragile mi5 let me down.

what did you brake Lea. I was been nice when I called it quirky. MattR had a problems with the king pin pulling out, But there is a fix for this problem.

I snapped the king pin twice on the right side by glancing the track boundry. It seems the king pin is weaker than the alloy that holds the wishbone in place.  |

Yep the cure for that is what ScottW found, is M4 x 14 traxxas screw's. But don't for get to tap the steering knuckle with the grub screw provided in the kit. You will not snap those guaranteed but if you do, change your motor to 13.5.  |

I think I'm going to cut my losses and replace the Mi5 with an Xray they appear to be able to take more of a knock. My 10.5 has been turned down it isn't running anywhere near its full power  |

The problem I have is I am not good enough yet to not make mistakes. 2 heats in a row on friday I broke the kingpin. I haven't had a clean race meeting since the Mi5 replaced my old sprint.
I see Xray drivers making the same mistakes and carrying on.

Xray is the best car for club racers, it might not be as elegant and posh as mi5's but theyre strong and reliable, got a t3 12 and t4 for sale if you want one lee |
