The shop is back, and with a New Product!

Posted on May 1, 2025May 1, 2025

I closed the shop down a little while ago because there wasn’t much interest. However, this week I’ve decide to bring it back. The main reason is this… A TPU (rubber like 3d printing material) Parts tray holder. I’ve been very chuffed…

I Made a Thing!

Posted on October 18, 2023October 18, 2023

Yesterday morning I was flicking through Facebook, and I saw somebody had made a holder for anti-roll bars. “That’s a good idea!” I thought. I had been invited to a practice day, but the Mrs. had a day off, so I couldn’t…

Gear Review: AVID Triad Evo Slipper for B6.4d

Posted on March 16, 2023March 16, 2023

Soldering! Advice Sought.

Posted on December 5, 2022January 8, 2023

The first thing that comes to mind is that my Dad, who was a whizz at soldering always used a really big iron that was like a truncheon. Is it just a case of a big tip that doesn’t drain its heat so fast and gives a more consistent temperature. Is it wattage or reheating speed?

Gear Review: NUTS!!

Posted on November 3, 2022November 30, 2022

If you’re rushing to change your suspension settings between rounds on an Associated buggy, I expect you’re going to drop a few of these on the floor fairly regularly. The genuine Associated M3 flanged locknuts retail at £13.77 for 10 Associated FT…
