I was on strike from school today as I was at Croft instead, and am going over the weekend. Is anyone else from here going?

    The sensible answer is that it is a phrase, "Billy-no-mates", the other being is that he's my dog.

    I think you should all leave this young man along. Bullying like this is NOT COOL!

    That said, young man I think you should value your time at school more. You'll never get these years back, and learning is vital to your future sucess.

    bullying like this is way cool and your just a square from the Isle of loser!

    But yeah don't skip school, and winners don't use drugs because you get the gay aids from sharing needles. But yeah I suggest listening to the Archers and hearing about the struggles to enjoy school and motivate himself that young Jamie Perks has gone through lately, inspirational and thought provoking stuff.

    Yeah, typical. I was sat on the bank and it started to rain so I went all the way over to the other end of the circuit to buy an umbrella and by the time I got back up on the bank it stopped raining. On a brighter note though there were some really fun RC cars there from (company below) and i won lots of races and got invited to the champions race and come 5th, not bad really, 5th place out of all the best racers in the day.

    Cheap Micros, got to love the steering wheel option, I'd fail miserably at that without a transmitter in my hands.. In fact, I'd ask if I could race my own 18th scaler on that track, they'd probably bottle out as I'd have a slight advantage..

    And with the lid on next to my even smaller 1/24th scale 4WD

    That's a Micro RS45 (as you know) with a Penguin Carbon chassis. The chassis uses a roll plate system on the rear (rigid) axle to provide flex and grip, it also has a ceramic ball diff and a coil/oil rear shock/damper to add. Front end has an Integy ball diff too.
    The front servo is in an upright position and I fitted alloy adjustable steering arms, alloy front steering knuckles and alloy front CVs.
    The entire exercise came to more money than I care to mention, but it paid off.

    In the end they banned me from racing it at the club with a 300 size motor as it was so quick, so I had to race with a 200 sized motor. A little less speed and torque but it was always a top 3 finisher in the A finals.
