[BulletMaster]

Pagemaster....

I haven't received any packages from the US yet.

Have you sent the items that you so kindly donated? Just a little worried that they may have strayed in transit?

I will let you know when they arrive.

cheers

Tony

 

[David Kingston]

Tony,

I wouldnt worry too much, i have never had anything go missing that was sent from Steve.

I should turn up some time.

What have you got coming if you dont mind me asking?

Any finely guys seen a cabover??

Dave,

so you haven't got the boat back then? I am very sorry to hear that mate.... I guess anything that comes back now won't be real good for anything...bummer.

Um...I ordered a can of rubber sealant and a temp gun from Steve, using his kind donation of the voucher. I have also been speaking with Andrew about putting something together for the Winter Spectacular... might even do an LSH. I might also see if he would be willing to do another sponsored drive in mono class maybe?? I'll chat further with him tomorrow at the HVMMC race day.

 

[David Kingston]

Tony,

I do hope that you run either class as it would be good to race some one of you calibre.

I will be there with a hydro and mono, and 3.5tunnel if kris makes the trip.

I also will have a 18cell hydro to demonstrate with rob and shane with their 24cell hydros. I just have to get the motor and rudder for it and it should all start coming together. Got to see steve for a some of the hardware. I just got myself several Pearl Jam tickets for a few concerts so i will have to wait a while longer. Got to see my favourite band. They do take first place over boats. - boat will be there tomorrow, but they wont be.

Well my Cabover. I think that Jason was looking for it and several other boats that went missing at the nats. The stuff inside might be gone. Hull should be repairable, but with lots of work. Who knows.

I would be keen to see if the next big event after Winter Spec that electrics run at. Prob wont be HV champs due to class limits. Any how i would like to see

12cell BL monos and 700 16cells

12cel BL hydros and 700 16cells.

If there is another class or 2 that would be great. But those 2 classes would be fast.

We had plenty of glitching dramas with these boats, especailly the ones with RC-Hydros controllers,

That's 'cause they don't work in the southern hemisphere. They're upside down. Turn them over and it should help the glitching.

 

[Andrewg]

Doug

those rc-hydros esc's were glitching along with a lot of their other stuff. But it werent the preparation it was the DSM radios what were the cultprit comming across from a couple of gig away and just messin with those FM radios - its this damn fangled technology.

 

[BulletMaster]

I would just like to thank Steven Vaccaro for his kind donation regarding the Nationals. I received my goods today as promised. Thanks mate

Tony
