Is that an Xray @Angie?

Mount your transponder lower down in the car if you can, it will lower the centre of gravity. Every little bit helps!
 
WoW technology has flown right past me, my last car had a 7.2v nicad battery and a servo pushing on a 3 speed mechanical speed control :eek:

Never did on-road though, only 4wd modifieds and 2wd trucks off road. I still have my old Tamiya King Cab :D

My favorite part of the hobby was building the kits and painting those clear shells, I would offer to build everyone's cars whenever I heard of someone getting new kit :nerd:
 
@BumbleBee SA RC racing has really advanced, some locals have just returned from ETS in Slovakia at the Hudy racing centre........

Some are even sponsored now:D

AND, seen a few of them vaping track side.........show yourselves hehehehe

@Morne was just so busy :-(. Soon Soon then you guys must have the braai's lit and we can vape after the race meeting;)
 
So this weekend is our National event at Southway mall KZN.

Can you let me know if any of the Vapers will be down?
If you guys are coming down we must take a picture and add it to this page :)
