  1. Years ago I had a Kyosho electric. Had a bunch of fun with it. Ran it straight into a brick wall when the battery ran low and lost control of throttle and steering. Back then solid state motor controls were on the high end. In retrospect, it would've saved the car.

  2. I ran them on my Rotus, but that was not a typical seven. Ran magnesium wheels. 265 17's in the front, 295 18's in the back.

     

    I wouldn't recommend it. A lot of unsprung weight on a light car. I had excellent grip on smooth surfaces which was fine with me since mountain roads around here are generally very smooth, but having driven a few other sevens and gotten a ride in a couple, the car was not as settled on bumpy surfaces.

  3. Nothing controversial about this video. This girl is phenomenal and the things she does on that pole are nothing short of the Chinese Acrobats that tour the country. This video was posted in the Porsche forum Rennlist and I apologize for not puting it in this section. Quite frankly, I didn't even know this section existed until now. I wasn't trying to offend anyone, just trying to add a little humor to this somber world.

    no worries. takes a second to move it. no big deal :cheers:

  4. I can't believe they have that posted on Youtube. That was murder out and out and they will get away with it. It will get worse as time goes on. We are entering a police state. Even in Tx they are putting up road blocks and checking papers and vehicle contents by TSA agents and homeland security. Totally violating the constitution. No border within 250 miles of the roadblocks.

     

    It's for your own safety!

     

    :troll:

     

    :D

  5. Hello everyone,

     

    I am currently working as an office admin at Superformance (and Hillbank, which a dealership owned by the CEO of Superformance) in Irvine, CA. I am basically here to learn as much as I can from you all as we are now distributing Caterham Sevens in the U.S. and to share with you the logistical knowledge I have about our operations.

    welcome aboard - nice to have someone here to listen to the customer base

  6. Another UK / BlatChat member saying Hi!

     

    Purchased an ex-Academy Caterham back in 2007. Sold it last summer and, somehow (against expectations), within 2 weeks I'd purchased an SV Caterham (1.8 k series).

    Will be trawling the threads for more info on new / second hand purchase of a Caterham (or maybe even a Westie) - and maybe even posting up a few questions. Already been warned that a newbuild might be problematic if I'm based in Boston / MA.

    welcome aboard!

  7. Being unfamiliar with the members mentioned or the cars, I'd love for someone to dig up the shots for me. It sounds interesting.

     

    Quick search again, did drum up this link:

    nice, personally I think if you MUST have a hard top, gullwing style is the way to go. At least for inflexible people like me. I can't imagine anything on top of the seat when I have to get in
