    Hey guys!! hows everyone??

    Thanks to thebeauty that is the leaving cert, my savage and stormracer have been in hibernation.. .through probably the besat weather we're going to get!! however! have the savage apart in my room at the moment and goin to get it aall back together hopefully!!

    Just wondering, what's the main problems to look out for after such a long period of rest? just so when it happens.. i'lll have expected it!

    as it stands i need new disk brakes for the savvy, and then a new arm from the servo to the brakes because the one i have is held together by copperwire and solder!!:p

    have found an ideal place locally to go for a bit of a bash now... and am dying to get out.. its been toooooo long! alot of new faces too? good to see!

    sup man i have a pretty much brand new standard disk you can have if you want, swapped it out for a twin brake setup, acvtually scratch that, i got a Carbon fiber one with my cf tvps and braces, if i can dig it out you can have that, either way i definitley have the standard one if you want

    just trying to help out a broke student:D

    If you have old batteries in it that seem to work well mightened after 2 minutes and the WD40 works well;)

    Nice local bash spot I hear you say? Care to share!

    My s'racer will have to race yours sometime soon. I need a new maingear tho.
    ...and you will probably have the edge due to 2 speed

    Im stuck in the same situation...due to the auld leaving cert and a few earlier problems... My truck has been sitting there for a long time... although it is fully built I never actually got it driving! ... I am ready to give it a test I thnk... I put some after oil in, And made sure everything greases and that, But I want to know how can I clean the Fueltank ?

    been in bonnie wee scotland all week, took the buggy out beforehand, the battery->switch cable broke, not a big deal, but time consuming, projectgtr that'd be amazing!! cheers!!
