Yes, when I first thought about it I was going to use 1 speed controller and join wires, don't know where the 2 speed controllers came from

we had olivia rushed in hospital yesterday
as she has no immune system she has picked up a virus
from shcool and it was only picked up by her regular blood test

we were told if she was left for another week she would of died
but the only problem is there were no signs so thank god for the blood tests

Well I'm glad she is ok now dus. Thank god she has regular blood tests, like you say. I knew about the bones but not the immune system.
We not used the cars for a few weeks due to weather.
Did get the boy a 4600mah battery.
Have you got anything planned for new years eve?
Will stay in and have a few drinks I think.
Can't see smileys still just red crosses.

Well that's just blooming not good, makes me realise how lucky we are with our lad. There is nothing I can say I know.
Don't know about you but I drink if having a bad time or when a bit depressed.
Will try to use the cars in the next couple of daysto test out the new battery pack.
Would be nice to see yours being driven.
Will deffo be trying foam tyres next, need to look into that a bit further again.

hi ian
as we dont know when the next truck meet will be
i dont know when i will get to run my bycmo
i know we will be having a meet in january
as we were getting moaned at by everyone
as it was so long between mets
while your thinking about foam tyres
you could also think about tyre warmers
to get heat into the tyres so they grip
unless you want to use them in drifting
then just ues them cold lol

hope you had a good christmas
and a great new year

We will attempt to use them tomorrow mate
I know you have mentioned the foams before.
You did have some regular meets didn't you, I enjoy looking at the pics so send a link over when you do.
The 4600mah takes about 2hrs and the 3700mah takes about 1 1/2 hours.

Happy New Year to you too. :beer:

Trouble is there's still the motor and the esc etc, don't think I'd take them out in the wet.
What you doing on New Years Eve?

Haven't been able to get on here for a couple of hours. What about you? kept saying webpage unavailible.

Are you watching the Eddie Stowbart series on C5?

Not sure realy yet about NYE, might be needed as taxi driver so if so wont drink.

Sounds like a good plan. Haven't got charger delivered yet so don't know what it's like but it looks good, no more over charging, although to be fair it only happened once in a lot of charges.
I saw somewhere that they have re-released the Golden Arrow?
A modern day version?
Deffo get some video of them both.
We are building up a 3rd Bycmo at the moment, with the same modified parts, so waiting for parts to arrive
Have got 4 different frequency of crystals.
It's been raining a lot but at least it's a lot warmer.
