Electric, Nitro, newbie, old car... doesn't matter! I just want to go out and have fun with others, and prolly video tape a bunch of it. (got wireless cam)

Hopefully we can get enough people together to make some kind of make-shift track! =-]

Please also post the dates that you are free.

If we did it on a wednesday night (i work every other night except friday and the rare thursday) we could find a well lit shopping car park

i.e. coles

Problem with that is the shops usually close around 10-1030pm which is quite late to be starting

Yuk man! That track is HORRIBLE! If you want a well-maintained offroad track, with BIG jumps, and a table-top, North Ryde is the place to go!

I've competed with the North Shore RC club a few times in the 1/10th modified truck rounds (and won a few times!) with my HPI RS4 MT... pictured below with road-tyres on it.

First post updated...

I've emailed Castle Hill raceway to see if it's open to the public on non race-days. Looks to be a nice track, smooth, and has ripple-strips.

I'd be happy to get a bunch of people up there for some fun... the netball courts would require rope or PVC halves to make a track.

christ... there's an indoor one there??

I've never seen it! I've done the offroad one a few times, and i've been to heaps of markets at the grounds there... but i've never seen a track! Do you remember if it was open to public all the time, or if you had to book or pay when you turn up or anything?

This could be perfect for a drift day!

hmm, could be interested if organising an on road night depending on location and if i have to work, me and a mate have nitro's :), just gotta fix my front end, rc with no cover vs. dyno = :P

AaronMine's electric... but depending on where we go, nitro shouldn't be a problem!

All you really need is an onroad 4wd car, with tweakable suspension and camber (re-positioning the shocks) and some PVC. Wrap tape around a bare rim until the PVC goes on quite tight, and there you have it!

For the 4wd aspect, belt or shaft shouldn't matter. I'll post some vids up of my car. I'm sorting out an R34GTR shell at the moment.

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
