A Day In The Life Of The Baby Lazy

dan — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 07:04:08 +0000

[Welcome wee Daniel Horton to the Lazy 'team'... S.] As the newest addition to the World Wide Web phenomenon that is RC-lazy, I (self dubbed “the baby lazy”) feel that I should give a tidbit of my 17 year old wisdom. This particular tidbit is 1/365 of my annual tidbittage and for those mathematicians out there [...]

simon — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:47:48 +0000

I’ve already written this report twice, the first time on Saturday night I got writer’s block. Then on Sunday I wrote it and managed to lose it in the tinterweb somewhere… Day 1 – 2wd (& SC) An early start, 5am ish for me, pick up the boys on the way and get the campenwagen to Bicester. [...]

Power Tools For RC Use

simon — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:08:24 +0000

I recently bought a Power Tool for working on RC cars, cos I was getting a bit tired of undoing a million and one screws all the time. I bought a Black & Decker 3.6V Lithium-Ion Cordless Screwdriver and I love it! I got it from Amazon.co.uk – click here. The features I looked for was small, [...]

Tamiya 511 Build Review

simon — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:56:49 +0000

After a short delay of doing other things, I’ve finished the Tamiya 511 build. It worked out real nice, probably the nicest kit I’ve ever built. Last year I built a Tamiya TRF-416WE touring car chassis, and the 511 is remarkably similar, but chunkier, more robust, and just more more more (no much). The build was [...]

Dan from Blink Studio got in touch with this ace video, the Yateley track looks ace fun for the little front wheel drivers. Prediction: in-car / on-car video is going to be big in 2010… Written by simon.

Nasty, Lazy and Cheap (12v 5A Charger Power Supply)

simon — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 16:06:36 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I think the cost of RC power supplies is simply ridiculous. I have a hefty 30A bench supply that I was fed up of lugging around. I wasn’t about spend £50, £100 or even more on a ‘proper’ RC supply. I wanted a small and light, and above all, cheap [...]

Petit Race 2010 Day Two

simon — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 13:59:55 +0000

*Beep beep, Beep beep*. ”What time is it?” ”OH SHIT!!!” That was the start to the day, luckily it was only mild panic as the alarm that didn’t go off was set about 15 minutes before the text came in from Crazy Bob… Rapid getting-up and down to the track for practice. Mark went out, stripped a spur [...]

Petit Race 2010 Day One

simon — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 21:42:46 +0000

Day 1 started at ridiculous o’clock – it began with a 5. We were at the venue just after 6am and shouty man was shouting at 6:30am, waking us all up nicely. One round of in-heat practice was all, the first heat out at 6:45am. The track seemed fun, but hard. The corner platform onto the [...]
