Bashing In Tamworth

Hello Cob here!
Sunday is bashing day so today with a quick text to Gazag,Quicksilver and the rest of the bunch we had a plan, first Gazag would come to ours help me out with my new shell, then later on go bashing, down the local industrial estate,it started off light then it got dark so we thought as its bonfire weekend we should have some FIRE!!! messing with fire is normal to us but Gazag liked the ideas we had so i will let the pics of the session do the talking. i can only get 2 pics up on this i will try and get the rest up a.s.a.p!!
FIRE IS NOT A TOY

Why Me?

Ho k,
Many of you may have read about what we create in the lair but yesterday (monday) my pride and joy, my REVO PICCO POWER died!, i did think it was the gear box but that was fine till I tried to start it.
The little end of the con rod broke, and whats more i have had that engine less than a year!
I have had a long list of problems with it:
1: Eats EZ gears and take ages to start,
2: Eats glow plugs like its addicted,
3: Would always run far too hot even when tuned and temp checked,
4: Ideled far too fast even when the throttle stop was adjusted,
5: Engine mount threads striped to easy,
6: Always needed re-tuning.

Now i know Picco is a good engine (Robs is still going strong) and i am going to get a new one, im only angry because its less than a year old and its broke. When i took the engine apart it was lubricated but the piston was still ceased in the sleve, its going to be next year when i can afford to fix it so im down to one car for the time, hopefuly that doesnt brake!
BROKEN CARS:

1: Hot bodied Lightning 10, broken output shaft,
2: Traxxas REVO PICCO POWER, broken engine,
3: Wilesco Steam Roller, needs new chains and boiler work.

Any way here are the pics for you to laugh at or to cry at, what ever mood your in:
But as in Terminator " I'll be back!"

Tamworth Bashers

Ho k,
Well many people have read about our exploits of mating cars with other engines and things to make a super boob, no i mean super car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But i thought i would also let you know about what else we do.
As we live pretty far from any decent off road places or we get told to move on we ended up buying and making our own ramps.

Trucks are good, but better when in the air!

We have: 4 Standard plastic ramps,

AND adjusto' ramp!

These are used to great effect when we:

A: Want to launch a buggy in to orbit

B: Set up a race for the trucks, truggys and buggys.

C: Launch a savage 50ft into the air or a buggy 42ft 6inches!

Here are some pics of our meets, and the adjusto ramp for your eyeballs to feast on!

Hello to everyone we bash with!
