Is it too soon to be starting to salivate at the thought of mince pies again? They've been spotted back in the shops now. Is there a "too soon" to start eating these Christmas sweet pastry treats?? I'm off to re-read what the winning mince pie was in eager anticipation .... now where's my ...

Hi Nick, The ratio that seems optimum for the TT-01 with a silver can motor is a 25T pinion and a 55T spur. The 55T spur can be purchased as a hop-up from Tamiya - part number 53665 if you need it. I think you'll enjoy getting back to racing in the Quicksilver class. It's good fun - relatively cheap...

Tamiya M03 Minis were raced by a couple of guys quite successfully last year in the Quicksilver class. I expect they'll be back for more racing at some point this season too. The Minis seem at home among the Quicksilver racers - you'll certainly have fun running it and think how smug you can feel wh...

The recently updated race calendar on the website says SATURDAY 28th AUGUST - NO RACING - TOWN & COUNTRY. So I think you can safely assume there's no racing. Stay home, get a sun lounger out and relax in the garden with a cool beer and barbecue - just like Bank Holiday weekends should be!!

Better still - stick the "Retro Racer" stickers straight on Norman!!

Ooh good - I like the yellow ones better - they match my YellowGlo paint scheme!

The top QuickSilver mince pie award 2009 goes to SAINSBURYS for their deep fill mince pie. :D They were the first pies to have all dozen of them eaten. Closely followed by the Marks & Spencers mince pies and then the Co-op mince pies. Commiserations to Tesco for last place - clearly not the pie ...

Have I forgotten about the festivication of my race car? - oh no I haven't!! My car is getting a special Christmas make over! It would be great to see some other cars looking the part for Christmas so this would be a great time to get out their best party frock bodyshells, or add a dusting of glitte...

You offering Rich?!! - I fancy some brandy butter - not sure if that might affect the finely tuned racing skills!!

This thread has been getting a bit too serious of late with all this talk about rules :roll: . So as it's Christmas and the next meeting is the last in the current season - Richard and I thought it would be a good idea to turn a wager we're having into something with a broader appeal - a mince pie ...

Ha Ha Ha - or Should I say Ho Ho Ho - it's the Quick Silver Christmas party!! Should be fun!!!

Hi Mikey, I say try these things and report back on here what you find. I'd be interested to hear your experiences on whether you find Lipo batteries and higher spec chassis are any major advantage once you've tried running them in the Quick Silver class. Others say they're not but another opinion f...

No objections from me on using the HPI Saturn 27T motor - it ticks all the right boxes. Sealed can 27T motor. Plain bushes. No internal fan.

still cant get over twelve year old motor .......if it was whisky i would offer you good money for it mate...any way ive just spoke to shane who runs the tamiya department at domino's in leicester he says the j motors are nearly £20.00 each and the other kit motors are not really available in bulk ...

That should work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Cheers Richie - We've got to start somewhere to make the QuickSilver rules better known - here seemed like a good place to start! It's clear from earlier posts today that any use of G2 motors is having a negative effect on the race class as a whole - we can't have ...
