The update is there:

Up close : the new Aston configs
Earlier this month we disclosed the addition of 2 new configurations of the Aston racetrack. Today's pictures will give you a good indication of what you can expect them to be like.

Surly if we keep F5'ing everything will become cached?

Grats kamkorPL for post 100

Just wondering, but where does it say on the site they will revel all info on the LFS site? because they could post info up to easter and then release it where we will find the surprise.

I treated myself to a Savage 25 a couple of months back.

So far it has:
New firmer green suspension springs
30wt oil front and back
Green fuel tube
Rims
Tires
Foams
Hitec 645 MG BB Steering Servo
Hitec HS635HB Hi Torque Throttle/Brake Servo (just installed)
Performance air filter
Performance polished exhast
Safty engine stop
Failsafe
Wheelie bar

Think thats it for now

Nice one Scawen, He's already wanting to go for a spin

Quote from Seahorse :

The documents said that it works in multiplayer...

I think it all comes down to how you interpretate it. I think he means that it works online as in, you can run the mod and then go online with it without turning it off.

The HPI Savage 25 has a roto start system. I emailed Microtech Racing, they point me in the direction of this which I think will cover most of my needs.

The shell that comes with it is all painted up with the option of adding stickers to it.
The fuel I am going to get from a model shop not too far from me instead of ordering it for the sake of ease.

I am also going to get the reversing module for it because I think that could come in handy if I end up facing a tree

Cheers for the advice and links Hyperactive :up: :up: and thanks for the pics Roadie :up: and thanks everyone else for your input, it has really helped

What other things should I get other then the basics, basics being:

Glow starter and charger
Stick pack and charger
Fuel bottle
Fuel
12 AA Cells

Another question:

I hear alot about people not liking the amount of maintaning petrol/nitro engines need. What is invovled then? Why do people not like it?

Thanks for any info you can give me

Ready-to-run. Cheers for the links :up:

Idea: could you not put it in you sig like other people?

Quote from RMachucaA :

Get an early 90's Tamiya WRC 1/10 electric, they can be offroad and onroad.

I had a slightly smaller WRC car brought for me about 2 or 3 years ago. The problems I had were that they scratched easily, damaged a bit easyer then I liked and took about 4 to 6 hours to charge up after only 30 mins use.

Thats why I am willing to pay the price for something decent that can go through long grass and not get stuck every yard or so

Keiran can you check to see if I have have got the right bits and have got everything I need for this truck:

Will that work for the truck?
Which 5 litre bottle do I need?

For the 12 AA cells, would it be ok to use rechargeable battries?
(My budget is about £400 btw.)

Edit: Do I need to order the things in seperate orders? ie:
Monster Truck to go first class
NITRO STARTER PACK FOR ROTO START to go on the shipping class: postage for starter pack
Then the 3rd order for the fuel to go with the Fuel courier?

Quote from mrodgers :

For racing or just messing around at home?

Mainly for just messing about.

Thanks for that dood

I see that there are a handful of people that run RC cars. As I have zero knowledge about RC cars I hope someone can guide me. What im looking for:

• Something that can cope with off road terrain
  
• Can also be used onroad
  
• Would like it to be quick
  
• Would like it to be big in size
  
• Would like it to be fuel powered unless electric is best
  

I have been looking at the HPI Cars which look pretty impresive. But if you have any oppion please let me know

Thanks for any help you can give me .

If you two want to argue about LFS v rFactor, go find one of the threads that have already been made to argue about LFS v rFactor. This is for posting your desktop.

Since we have gone off topic anyway:
What is best for someone who wants the fun factor out of a RC car rather then competion factor, petrol or electric rc car?

Love the skin Rob :up:

Just checked and services.exe is in the c:\windows\System32 folder.
Restarted into safe mode and it does not do it.
Any unnessasery services in services.misc have been disabled.

Now I just need a cure to sort it out
Thanks for you help :up:

I have only just noticed it but every 10 secs or so any game I play would pause for about a second or so which makes it very off putting. I ran process explorer to find out what was the problem and it was services.exe causing the pause.

I then wanted to see what thread in that process was causing it:


But from here on I dont know what to do to solve it from jumping up and down. So I hope someone out there will be able to point me in a direction that will feed it some chill pills

Thanks to anybody that may provide some helpful information

So basicly stick with the onboard sound till I get 5.1/7.1? Or just stick with onboard because a soundcard does not make that much diffrence?

"British Racing Team is back!"..... for the 5th or 6th time
Just jokeing about. Look forward to get this team going this time. hehe.

ATM I am running onboard sound, but I have read things that say if you get a soundcard, the quality of music is improved '10 fold' on my computer.
I am running the Logitech Z3 Speakers.

I have found 3 soundcards that I like but am open to opinion.

1. SOUNDBLASTER X-Fi XTREME MUSIC
2. SOUNDBLASTER X-Fi PLATINUM
3.Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty

Thanks for any help you can give

Quote from Lautsprecher[NOR] :

Do a "repair" of XP is the easiest option. Just select that (R)epair-option during the XP-install. That's what i did when i decided to get rid of Vista.

But would that delete anything on my XP partition? Or will it just get rid of the vista boot manager?
