Good luck Denny,
Theyre sold out virtually everywhere.
Although I believe there will be a second run coming, so maybe preorder one from your local SCX dealer.
If anyone knows of a secret stash somewhere I'm keen too.

The first thing I would check is the guide depth in the slot and if the rear tyres touch the wheel arches when the pod moves.

Wix yep Id already checked that ,wheels dont touch arches even at end of twist travel and Im not sure theyd twsit that much on track any way ,Guides sits nice on me board but with the track rails wheels might be a whisker / rail hight off track.But car is standard id have to modify to lift the wheels up.OR get a guide that sits higher on car.

That's pretty close denny, but if you want it to show up in the post itself, do the following:

Code: Select all

[img]http://s1128.photobucket.com/albums/m483/denny1960/stuff/?action=view&current=teamCUDAcopy.jpg[/img]
That'll then put it in as an image in the post itself.

Hi Denny,

I've given you a little help here but you are as good as there now.

If you go into edit on your last post (button at the top right of the topic) you will see the line of code you have entered for your picture (which I have moved) which didn't come out, and the line below that is the line of code I have got from your photobucket account picture.

In your photobucket album, click on recent albums and you picture will appear. Roll the cursor over the picture and you will see a drop down menu. (photbucket will make more sense when you have more pictures in it. Upload another two and see)

Note that the line of code I have entered in you post is the same as the 4th code line (titled IMG Code) on the photo bucket picture in the album and NOT the photobucket ALBUM PICTURE. Keep going, we're almost there mate

Have a play and you'll be fine, you can't break anything.
