    "Rent A Lamb". Them Kiwis think of everything but going on the price it is better to buy a slab and get sloshed.

    I have a similar picture and Andy is the star but I can't post it here. Maybe Paddy will email it to you.

    The All Blacks have just announced that next years sponsor will be TAMPAX.



    TAMPAX said "To sponsor a bunch of $unts going through a bad period is exactly what our company is all about"

    Simon,
    Good news. My new 4s Elite pack arrived today. I will post the other 4s PolyQuest to you soon. I had a good look at this pack and it looks ok to me so here is hoping. This pack has not been used by me very often. Yes it has a Deans plug on the end but I am sure you will fix that. I have never had any trouble with Deans plugs but I am going to change to 5.5 bullets now that I am using the Elite packs. These packs deliver the charge so much quicker from a cold state it is unbelievable so it is time to be careful I think. I guess I have got away with Deans plugs because my runs are very short (less than 6 seconds at full speed)

    Andy,
    Where are you? Maybe a new woman or a new boat.

    BTW smacked the DF33 well and truly, thank god for fibreglass and stop putty. The bow half is now a nice shiny black as had no yellow. This hull has survived some teribble crashes and keeps coming back to life. That 1521 with the 447/3 should make sure the next smash memorable. I may even get Jess to paint it all one colour some day

    I moved off deans for all my brushless as soon as I went lipo. The reason was that my first lipos came with 4mm m/f bullets so it was natural to set the esc up with them too.
    Getting those PQ cables into the back end of a 5.5 takes a bit of imagination and swearing.
    Thank you...again!

    Default Lanotec or some stuff

    Paddy, did you see that post about some sheep wool oil or some crap being used as lube. Fair call as as sheep fat is excellent for corrosion prevention on knives and tools for underwater work ( I spent a few years professional diving)

    Scott suggested that................No Scott stated that, we outer Islanders use this for personal hygene use.

    I'll have it stated for the record the most lamb I have I had on me is on my fingers and mouth............I dont think this is helping my case at all really.

    My sidekick at work asked me the other day if I wanted one of his goats as a pet. Apparently goats are good for lawn control as Scott has kindly pointed out in another thread of mine.

    I suggested that I stuff it and roast it, at which point our Officer asked questions regarding the stuffing and was this before or after it was "knocked-over" and ready for roast
    My reply was along the lines öf "stuff ya all" I'll curry it then.

    Goat Rogan-Josh is very nice and if done for 3-4 hours is best.

    Lamb is too expensive.

    RFLMAO, nice come back. a note on lanolin. this was used a lot around the world up till about the 1940s then was fazed out like hemp with cotton, scientists to this day have not been able to duplicate the performance or composition of lanolin

    No Apples I do have the funds, the boats are up to scratch but due to some personal problems of late my spending kitty has had to be used up. This time next year should be different I hope and we could maybe get Paddy there too and Jess wants to race in ea Mono as well.
    Hay Simon no need for KY with all that Lanolin getting around

    Andy it is about time I p*ssed you off again.
    I took the Xzess 2 out today with that new Elite pack. M8, another record broken...
    4s Elite LiPo, Neu 1515 1y, Octura M545 = 108kph
    Time to put that M545 back in the box and try some 47mm props as you suggested I think.
    Before that I want to test Mr Krabs on this new battery.

    Andy you better lock up your prop cupboard at night. Between Simon and Ozzie we will have no props left for us. I might insure that M545 against theft when I post it.
    Actually I have 2 so I will send the slowest one to you for some magic to be added.
