Wakehurst's National Plant Collections
The five collections represent the most comprehensive collections of these genera in cultivation in the UK. The National Plant Collections scheme provides a further focus for their development without compromising their status as scientific collections.
What is a National Plant Collection?
National Plant Collections were instigated by Plant Heritage (formerly the NCCPG) in 1983 to conserve the rich garden flora of the British Isles. At that time, many garden plants, particularly herbaceous perennials and annuals, were being lost from cultivation. The establishment of designated collections of plants created a conservation resource by gathering together all the species and cultivars within particular genera or defined groups. These collections also serve much wider roles, particularly as comprehensive reference sources for propagation and as educational displays. Today there are over 600 National Plant Collections throughout the UK.
Betula – Birches
The longest established and most comprehensive of Wakehurst Place's four National Plant Collections is the birch collection in Bethlehem Wood. It is regarded by several experts as being the most comprehensive in cultivation anywhere. In 1999 it was awarded scientific status by the NCCPG. Bringing together as many birch trees as possible provides the opportunity to observe the taxonomy, ornamental merit and cultivation requirements of the genus. This species is ideal for the small garden, being quick growing (but ultimately remaining a manageable size) and having several ornamental features, particularly its bark colouration. The collection already contains several named forms of Betula utilis (eg Betula utilis var. jacquemontii 'Sauwala White' and 'Grayswood Ghost') and several of hybrid origin that have Betula utilis in their parentage (eg Betula 'Inverleith' and Betula 'Jermyns').
Eucryphia is Wakehurst's newest National Plant Collection, having been recognised only in 2015. This small genus consists of only seven species, but their distribution is very interesting as it mirrors that of Nothofagus. Species are found in South America, Tasmania and Australia. Two species are found in Queensland and are unlikely to be hardy enough to grow at Wakehurst, but the remaining five species thrive on the estate. Wakehurst has a combination of acidic soil and high rainfall, which is rare in south east England and this is why Wakehurst has received National Plant Collection recognition (the other collections of this genus being in the west of the British Isles). The collection is split between Coates Wood and the upper ornamental gardens, particularly the Southern Hemisphere Garden where the species and hybrids between them are grown. In common with three of the other four collections at Wakehurst, this is designated for species and hybrids only, so although cultivars are grown at Wakehurst they are strictly outside the scope of the National Collection. Wakehurst's priority is now further expansion of this new collection and obtaining wild origin seed from each species natural habitat is planned to add genetic diversity.
Hypericum – St John's worts
The Hypericum collection holds a wide range of species and cultivars, with accurate details of their origins, which have been used in taxonomic studies of the genus. It concentrates on the shrubby species in the genus and now represents over half of the shrubby hypericums in cultivation (contained in the Hypericum sections Androsaemum and Ascyreia). Most of the plants are grown in the Specimen Beds close to the Mansion, where they provide late summer colour. All the plants in the genus are yellow-flowered although they display subtle variations in colour from the primrose yellow of some introductions of Hypericum bellum to the strong glossy yellow of Hypericum 'Hidcote'.
Hypericum is a large genus consisting of some 350 species occurring throughout the alpine, temperate and sub-tropical regions of the world. They vary from the tree-like East African Hypericum revolutum to tiny annuals. Many lesser-known species are as garden worthy as their more common relatives. Hypericum bellum has a particularly attractive dense, compact habit with finely cut, slightly downy leaves with wavy margins. Hypericum pseudohenryi has attractive pink-flushed stems and Hypericum subsessile displays rich red fruiting capsules in late summer.
The objectives for the future development of this collection are to make its coverage of the shrubby hypericums as comprehensive as possible and to increase its genetic diversity with further material of wild origin.
Nothofagus – Southern beeches
Horticulturally and botanically, Nothofagus is a most interesting genus, consisting of some 40 species found in South America, New Zealand, Tasmania, Australia, and the highlands of New Caledonia and New Guinea. As the New Caledonian or New Guinean species are unlikely to be hardy in cultivation in the UK, British horticulturists have concentrated on South American and Antipodean species. The collection at Wakehurst Place in Coates' Wood contains 15 of the 19 species from these areas. The genetic diversity of the collection is being increased by planting specimens grown from material collected at different locations and by adding material of species not previously cultivated at Wakehurst Place. Some have been collected by Kew expeditions. This will allow a more critical assessment of the ornamental qualities of the genus.
Until now Nothofagus antarctica has often been seen in gardens as stunted misshapen specimens, no doubt originating from the southern part of its range. Further north in its distribution there are more upright and shapely trees which are more suitable for general cultivation. Another consideration is the lack of wind-firmness in the genus, clearly demonstrated by the vulnerability of Nothofagus in the great storm of October 1987. By identifying trees that are more wind-firm, their use in forestry and horticulture could be widened.
In the wild, Skimmia comprises four well-defined species, all of Asian origin. All Skimmia species currently in cultivation are represented in the collection at Wakehurst Place, and have been accurately named in line with the results of Kew's studies of the genus.
The position with regard to the cultivars which have arisen in cultivation is much less clear. Efforts at Wakehurst are concentrated on trying to secure and grow accurately named cultivars to provide a living reference source. At present 30 of the known 53 named cultivars of Skimmia japonica subspecies japonica have been identified. These plants are located in the Winter Garden, the Chapel lawn beds, and most are concentrated in new plantings in the Kangaroo Pen. Their evergreen foliage and, in the case of female clones, berries contribute to the ornamental theme. The other species have a more limited number of cultivars. Of particular interest are the three known cultivars of Skimmia x confusa (the only genuine hybrid in the genus); all of them are grown at Wakehurst Place. A separate initiative is to introduce or reintroduce skimmias that are not presently in cultivation, eg Skimmia arborescens subspecies arborescens from the eastern Himalaya.
To obtain material for the collection, every effort is made to contact expeditions going to the areas where the plants are known to occur. Many genotypes with potential as garden plants remain to be introduced. A collection of Skimmia japonica subspecies reevesiana made in Taiwan in 1979 has proved to be a very garden-worthy plant and carries the cultivar name 'Chilan Choice'.

Consumption Technology and the Intrafamily Distribution of Resources:
This paper shows that the definition and the measurement of adult equivalence scales depend crucially on the concept of welfare used. When welfare is the utility parents derive from their own consumption , one has to assume separability of parents' and children's consumption. This assumption implies that the only way of imputing the intrafamily allocation of resources is by observing the consumption patterns of adult goods. Regardless of the definition used, one cannot separate the factors reflecting home technology (i.e., "needs") from those determining the intrafamily distribution rule (i.e., "wants") out of consumption data.

There is a transformation in the entertainment field, with a shift from "secondary entertainment" to a home entertainment system with channels and options to suit every need. This shift not only refers to a shift from family outings to family movie nights, but also a shift to different channels and formats.
The Diffusion Group predicts that a shift from television to personalized online video will occur within the decade (as seen below), showing the pressure that is being put on entertainment companies to restructure themselves to the changing consumer.
Twenty-First Century Fox (NASDAQ:FOX) is the quintessential consumer play, reaching consumers at home with entertainment that cannot be found anywhere else. Fox is a $77B business, with a reach into nearly all of the segments in the entertainment industry. At a time when the television industry is struggling to gain the attention of viewers, Fox has been able to secure its growth for years to come.
Fox has been able to steadily grow its top line, while maintaining strong margins and operating profits. The key to their success is perhaps not the feature films we have come to love, but instead their ability to monetize the great obsession of America: sports.
America's obsession has not only entered the homes of hundreds of millions, but continues to grow. And Fox's cable programming is at the center of this phenomena.
Fox's ability to maneuver into different segments is a key reason for their success. From Fox News and National Geographic to 20th Century Fox and FX, their programming has been able to penetrate houses and boundaries. 20th Century Fox does not seem to be going anywhere with their continued strong lineup of movies, and Fox News continues to dominate every ratings category.
While Twenty-First Century Fox is certainly cemented into a strong position through its feature film and news segments, those segments do not justify a P/E multiple (ttm) of 25 and a P/S multiple of 2.5. However, Fox has been able to feed America's obsession and transform itself into one of the largest sport networks.
Sports in America is changing (and Fox is at the center)
At this time of year, it seems everyone has become the "biggest fan" of the US soccer team in the World Cup. This phenomena happens every few years, but a trend has been emerging that points to a growing interest in soccer from American viewers.
Fox must be hitting themselves on the head after recently being outbid by NBC (NASDAQ:CMCSA) for the English Premier League soccer rights, the most popular soccer league. The deal, which lasts three years, might actually fit perfectly into Fox's plan to focus on the USA. Their recent deal with MLS (Major League Soccer) and US Soccer through 2022 guarantees them exclusive rights to at least 34 regular season games a year, as well as an alternation with ESPN (NYSE:DIS) for the MLS Cup and other playoff matches.
The MLS deal, in which Fox and ESPN will pay $70M annually for rights, marks the long anticipated breakthrough of soccer into the American home. The rights package costs nearly three times as much as the previous one, and comes with major support through advertisements and promotions from the networks. If MLS and US soccer do break through, Fox's soccer plan might prove to be genius.
The World Cup is a sign of America's growing interest in soccer, and the amazing ratings that have been generated so far this cup has caused some to predict the World Cup could help propel soccer to the forefront of America's obsessions.
While many still argue the MLS has lackluster ratings (around 200,000 viewers a game on NBC), Fox and ESPN have shown that they want to bring soccer to everyone's livingroom. If the World Cup is any indication, it seems to be working. The World Cup ratings have been stellar, which bodes very well for Fox, which won the FIFA rights through 2022 for the next two men's and women's World Cups. Fox is paying more than $400M, which is four times the amount ESPN paid for the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
The World Cup has experienced significant growth both within the US and internationally, recently propelling soccer to the second most watched sport event in America (during 2014, after American football).
What does this mean for Fox?
This year's 2014 World Cup has averaged 4.1M viewers per match (through group play) on ESPN and ABC, up more than 20% from 2010's World Cup. If the ratings remain on the same trajectory, this would mean an average of 5.62M viewers per group play match on Fox for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. There is a lot of room for optimism in this number, as continued success by the US team could bring the average to over 6M viewers a match.
Once more, the growing support of soccer in the US, as shown by the recent MLS deal, could mean a major ratings and revenue boost for Fox. However, soccer isn't on the same level as American football for Fox, for which they are paying $1B a year (for not even half of the games).
Fox generated an average of 21.2M viewers per regular season game, setting a record and surpassing it even further when Fox aired the Super Bowl. However, college football is close to the World Cup in terms of both viewers and advertisements, and could serve as a good comparison.
Using ABC's 2013 ratings for college football, the average program was watched by 4.8M viewers, similar to that of the World Cup group round in America. The problem with soccer is that it is very difficult to monetize, as there are no breaks in the 45 minute halves, and just a 15 minute half time.
It would be most likely to have 5 minutes of advertisements at the half time break, meaning it could generate $1M a game in advertising. As for the remaining 16 (non-group) games, I will assume 10M viewers each, and will use a $200,000 average cost per advertisement (current World Cup finals advertisements are costing $250,000).
This would generate approximately $80M in revenue per World Cup, and approximately $160M through both. Even if the advertisements were tripled to 15 minutes, Fox would make $480M in revenue, and lose money after other expenses and taxes. While Fox also won the rights to the women's World Cups, it is very unlikely that in a best case scenario they would even break even on their $400M investment.
The World Cup Effect
As pointed out by ESPN, the World Cup is not only watched on television. It can also be streamed online and through apps. While these methods still have the advertising limitations, they will help Fox accomplish their goal.
The Atlantic (as seen below) explains how sports plays a major role in consumers' bills -- and they're willing to pay for it.
A simple timeline of Fox's recent program purchases will show that they're trying to catch up to the industry juggernaut ESPN. Their billions of dollars in aggressive purchases over the past few months shows their attempt to solidify Fox Sports into the homes of millions of Americans.
From what analysts and executives are seeing, their strategy seems to be working. Trends have been improving, though there is still a long way to go. Perhaps the World Cup is not something that Fox Sports will profit from through advertisements, but rather from viewers who come to the network through the event.
The Solidification of Sports in American Culture
The battle, or the battle to be, between ESPN and Fox shows that the American obsession is here to stay. With Fox's interest in both the Big Ten Network and the Yes Network, they are designing a portfolio to compete with ESPN.
Money is not an issue for a company with more than $5.5B in a cash and a positive cash flow. Their aggressive purchases are an attempt to overthrow the captain of the sports industry -- and it just might work.
The jury is out on the battle between Fox and Disney. This time, it's not in the "secondary entertainment" industry or news, but instead a battle at the deepest roots of America's interests. Fox is compiling programming for their battle against ESPN, with rights to Major League Baseball, Nascar, Soccer, UFC, College Football, College Basketball, Golf, and the NFL through more than 5000 hours of live sporting events annually.
If Fox Sports manages to win the NBA rights after they expire next year from ESPN/ABC and TNT (NYSE:TWX), which many see as esential, they could be compared to ESPN. They would have rights to three of the four major sports in America (except hockey), as well as the rights for many other niche markets. This is where their recent soccer purchases begin to look like a good move.
Fox Sports will establish themselves in the homes of millions of Americans, providing thousands of hours of live entertainment and feeding America's hunger for sports. While ESPN has a strong lineup and has secured itself a working business model to at least the end of the decade, Fox will be able to carve themselves a nice marketshare.
If soccer continues to grow at the same rate as it has in recent years, Fox Sports could be sitting on the program (the Word Cup) that will differentiates themselves from ESPN. This would draw viewers to Fox Sports, fulfilling the network's goal. With viewers, Fox Sports could profit from its analysis, talkshows, and website with the content it has secured.
While it is too soon to crown Fox Sports the future champion of the sports broadcasting industry, they have set themselves up a nice shot.

Owner Robert Kraft released the following statement on the passing of former Patriots coach Chuck Fairbanks today:
"As a Patriots season ticket holder, I remember the excitement that was generated by the hiring of Chuck Fairbanks from the University of Oklahoma in 1973. Coach Fairbanks gave the Patriots instant credibility. For Patriots fans of that era, Fairbanks was the Bill Parcells before Bill Parcells. Meaning, he did for the Patriots in the '70s what Bill Parcells did for the team in the '90s. He delivered the franchise's first 11-win season in 1976 and earned a home playoff game after winning the division in 1978. It was the first time in franchise history that we hosted a playoff game. He introduced the 3-4 defense to the NFL during his Patriots tenure, which remains a part of his NFL legacy. It is a sad day for a generation of Patriots fans who enjoyed his era of coaching. My thoughts and prayers are with the Fairbanks family and all who mourn his loss."

How tenkara works
A rod, line and fly. Line connects to the tip. Easy casting of a fly to spots where the fish are, intuitive landing. That's tenkara in a nutshell. Read more to find everything you need about tenkara.
You have a telescopic rod that extends out to 12ft on average – rod length ranges from 8'10" to 14'7″. You tie a fixed length of line to the rod tip. Line length can be from the same length as the rod to over 2x the length of the rod . With line tied to the tip of the rod, rod extended, about 4ft of tippet at the end of the line and your fly, you're ready to fish. Casting is very intuitive, just move the rod back and forth to throw the line forward and cast your fly to where the fish is. You'll pick up the casting in about 2 minutes, scroll down to learn how to cast with tenkara. And, of course, you may be wondering, "how do I land a fish if there is no reel"? Super intuitive, a fish is pulling one way, you'll just pull it towards you by tilting the rod back and bring the fish toward you. Keep reading to find out more.
Tenkara gear
You need a tenkara rod, a tenkara line and tippet, and flies. A line holder to store your line, and a set of forceps (to remove flies caught deeper in a fish's mouth) and nippers (to cut your tippet and line) are also handy to have. Read below for the gear you need to start fishing.
Shop for tenkara lines.
How to use a tenkara rod
Opening a tenkara rod
1) Remove rod plug. Tilt rod down slightly to expose the tenkara rod tip.
2) Keeping the hard tip of the rod inside the main segment, expose the braided tip material (the lillian), attach line to rod tip. (keeping the hard tip inside will prevent a broken tenkara rod)
3) Once your line is attached, hold rod handle segment near the opening with one hand. With the other hand pull the tenkara rod tip, and each subsequent segment out, sliding them out between your fingers. Starting with the tip pull each piece out completely until next segment comes out and becomes snug. Do this in order. Pieces should feel snug, not overly tight.
Closing a tenkara rod
To collapse the tenkara rod, simply start by pushing the segments back into the handle, in order, starting with the thickest segment first and making your way to the tip of the rod. You may leave your tenkara line tied to the rod tip, and, when you have collapsed the entire rod, wind the line around a tenkara line holder and move on to the next stop. If you're ready to pack up for the rest of the day, pull the tag end of your line to remove the line from the rod and stow both away.
Should you have any problems with your tenkara rod, take a look at the rod troubleshooting page for easy solutions to common problems.
Casting and techniques
Casting with tenkara is very intuitive, you will get it after just a few casts. The basic concept is that you will move your rod tip back quickly, stop at the vertical position (12 o'clock) to throw the line back and make the rod flex. And, then move the rod tip forward, stopping at roughly 10 o'clock in front of you. making your line move forward and the fly hit the target. Having an index finger on top of the handle helps stop at the vertical position more naturally and improves accuracy. Watch the video below for more information on how to cast with tenkara.
Tenkara casting becomes very obvious when you have a rod in hand, it is a bit similar to throwing a ball at a target, your brain does most of the work after a few attempts. The videos below will show you how to cast with tenkara as well as techniques for using your tenkara fly and also how to land fish with tenkara.

Oracle on Monday appeared close to resolving the issues that have delayed its $7.4bn purchase of Sun Microsystems for months with Europe's antitrust watchdog.
The US technology group unveiled a 10-point list of "public commitments" it said should reassure the European Commission that MySQL, the open-source database business owned by Sun, would remain "a competitive force" after the change in ownership.
European competition officials had been concerned that, if Oracle took control of the business unconditionally, it could have an incentive to suppress or restructure a product that is given away for free and poses a disruptive threat to its own business.
Monday's commitments did not amount to formal legal remedies offered to Brussels, and the US group is not expected to make any moves in that direction, according to people familiar with the situation.
But the public pledges were nevertheless given a warm welcome by the Commission – which in turn pushed Sun's shares almost 9.9 per cent higher to $9.20.
"Today's announcement by Oracle of a series of undertakings to customers, developers and users of MySQL is an important new element to be taken into account in the ongoing proceedings," the Commission said.
"In this context, competition commissioner Neelie Kroes recalls and confirms her statement of December 9 that she is optimistic that the case will have a satisfactory outcome, while ensuring that the transaction will not have an adverse impact on effective competition in the European database market."
Both Oracle and Brussels would be relieved to put the difficulties over MySQL behind them. Sun's business has been declining, and the uncertainty surrounding the merger has cost it customers.
Meanwhile, the Commission has been in the unenviable position of holding up a merger between two large US companies that had already been cleared by antitrust regulators in the US.
The commitments themselves include increased spending on MySQL research and development, the creation of customer and storage engine vendor advisory boards, and a promise to maintain the MySQL reference manual.
Oracle also made certain licence-related pledges – which will be incorporated into contractual arrangements with storage vendors who currently hold commercial licenses with Sun.
Several competition specialists not directly involved in the case described them as "face-saving", and questioned why such pledges could not have been offered or negotiated many months ago.
But the commission said: "Oracle's binding contractural undertakings to storage engine vendors regarding copyright non-assertion and the extension over a period of up to five years of the terms and conditions of existing commercial licences are significant new facts."
Officials in Brussels now have until January 27 to make a final decision on whether to allow the deal.

Keith Whitmore
Keith Arthur Whitmore (born 15 June 1955) is a British politician. He was President of the Congress of the Council of Europe from 2010 to 2012.[1]
Whitmore was formerly a Liberal Democrat member of Manchester City Council, standing down in 2012.

Armidale Rifle Club
Armidale's Premium Rifle Club
The first evidence of a rifle club in Armidale came from a report in the Armidale Express on the 2nd September 1865 which stated that a number of gentlemen had assembled and agreed to the establishment of a rifle club in Armidale, and a committee was appointed to prepare rules for the running of the rifle club.
The rifle club as we know it today was formed in 1885 as the Armidale Volunteer Rifle Company and a rifle range reserve No 2865 was notified on the 8th January 1887 which became known as the Long Swamp Road Rifle Range...
Rifle matches every Sunday from 11am at the Wollomombi Rifle Range!

Ok guys I talked with Steve and I have a time line on the production chassis. Right now it is looking like Mid November to the third week in November. That is the bad part but here is where it will be worth the wait. When Steve rights his 5th and final article here in the next few days he will post on his site and have the chassis available for pre ordering.
The great part of pre ordering is he will have a bunch of colors to choose from that the pre order customer will get free of charge. This will be a one time offering in all these custom colors. I know it was Blue, Green, Purple, Pink, Black, Orange, Gun Metal, Silver and Red. So for those who take this ride along. Remember this is for pre orders and a one time deal. He won't have all these colors again and no spares to match. So if you want a cool anodized color you will want to pre order
Good things will take time... I can wait...
Yeah... I knew it... I will take a blue one.
@wyd10 Just a question... did you ever made bad experiences with the STRC Shock towers? I´ve got still the stock ones. The guys at our race track had chosen RPMs because they are flexible. Did you ever saw a broken or bended Aluminum shock tower? Yeah... maybe I ask the wrong person but hopefully you could give me a honest answer. Or is this debate more religous? I like the look oft the STRC shock tower very much. What should I buy... RPM or STRC? Depends it on my way of driving (bashing or racing)? Ive got the STRC battery strap, bellcrank system and Hex adapters and im satisfied with it. But honestly I´ve got RPM A-Arms because here I can comprehend the advantages of flexibility.
Sorry for my bad english.

Funny thing, i was gonna ask if the aluminum would be anodized too. Now I will get one to match all my other strc parts.

No problem on the heads up. This is part of running for STRC is to help you the customers out and to help STRC products. I would post more but right now my home computer isn't working so I need to do it at work and at my part time job at the hobbyshop where I have more time to post.
Will the component parts be available separtely to be save if a part will break or gets lost?
Maybe we should open a thread where customers post their experiences with the chassis if it is availabel.

More pics. When I started the assembly.
If you all smell something that is my jealousy of wyd10, lol.
I keep telling myself, just a few more weeks.
Any chance of getting a close up on the motor mount.
I am in love with that.
will a center diff work with this chassis, or do you have to use the slipper clutch?
Okay....you talked me into a pre-order. Now taking a number.
I'll take mines in Blue please.

Looks like Steve put up another post about the LCG chassis, on the STRC website.
how well will this chassis hold up to bashing or is this another race only lcg chassis. cause i want to get one of these for a slash 4x4 roller i have sitting in my closet. atleast the gears should hold up being 32 pitch and being open so sand wont eat them up since i use my rc's in the sand often.
forgot to add what is the biggest battery i can fit in it. and are the battery mounts adjustable?
Very nice test report on the STRC site. I appreciate that the front bulkhead is seperatet, so maintenance now seems easyer. The front bulkhead looks realy massiv.
@ skynex721 : In this case I´m zero
@ jato_builder: I think it`s more a racing chassis because of the materials that are used. When I think of bashing I think of monster jumps and driving in terrains with big stones that I won´t try with an LCG aluminum chassi. The slash 4x4 is known as a bashing-machine and I think that this statement is based mostly because of its stock ground cleareance. But that´s only my oppinion.
You wrote about the free gearing and that is one point I´m thinking about too. It would be nice, if the gearing have a little more protection. Maybe we will get a shroud from a third party developer like outer wears to protect this section. Maybe we have to develope that kind of protection by ourselves. If I would know what kind of material Outerwears uses to produce their shrouds, it would be easy to create one by myselve.
For the center gear I could imagine to build a little lexan dome that I would mount on the upper deck if it´s necessary.
@ wyd10: Did you never had problems with the open gearing? Keep in mind, that you were testing on a clay track. Tracks with little stones could be cause massiv problems without protection on the gearing.
Once again... sorry for my bad english

I did a little research at the outer-wears site. Under the "Products>Custom Design" column you can order material for a custom shroud! Problem solved!

Article #4 from Steve is up for everyone to read. Pre orders will start next week but not sure what day but Steve is getting everything ready to start taking the orders.
cool if i get one i could make a custom top plate out of 7075t6 aluminun and put that on instead of thee graphite to make it more durable for bashing and keep the graphite plate for when i go racing. or try and bash with the graphite plate and see what happens. and if the bottom is flat plate i could create a bottom just in case i damage one while bashing.
There wont be any bashing when my chassis is applied.
Time to start getting her tuned for the indoor season.
All sounds great. I'm at the shop tonight so I will measure the pack today once i get to the shop.
wyd10 also interested in this build i do want to get in onthe color thng for sure been following the blog all soun=ds well ty for the up date will be looking for more. Q: how long will the pre ordering last?
My battery I run is 25mm thick and 46mm wide and 138mm long. I can go at least 5mm higher on the battery and still have it fit. When I put my pack in I normally plug in the positive lead first and then slide my pack under the top brace. Then I just plug the negative lead in when ready to race.

@wyd10: I appreciate your intensive testing and the way the customers are involved in the whole production process very much. I don´t think thats typical for a RC-company or companies from other fields, but the right way to achieve trust and loyality of customers. Thanks for this nice project to you and Steve.
I´m relativ new to the hobby but there is one thing that I can say for sure, when I have to modify my car with aluminum parts, STRC will be my first choice!
Looking forward to pre-order next week.

Ok with my batter in I still have 10mm to the top plate for those that are interested in that info. Ran for the 2nd week now but didn't practice at all during the week. Fastest lap is now down to 23.12 from so I think thats almost 3 tenths faster and almost a full second faster from where I started at 2 weeks ago with the stock chassis. It has 22.9's in it to be honest if I would push harder. Again another great day with the chassis working perfectly and no problems. Only problems I had had nothing to do with the chassis. I changed software in my speedo and had a problem but fixed that and truck was back to normal. Its going to a nice improvement for all that are looking.
Seems you are loving the new chassis.
Hope the pre order open this week so we can all fall in love with it.
Thanks for the update.

Nothing affords an insight into the British psyche like Wimbledon fortnight, from those who sneer that the All-England Club would be better named the Middle England Club, who scornfully opine that, apart from all the Bollinger-quaffing Home Counties toffs, the place is full of suburban Hyacinth Buckets spooning up strawberries and cream, to those same toffs and Hyacinth Buckets.
When I interviewed a couple of 16-year-old girls spectators at the All-England Club last week, and they were photographed with glasses of Pimm's, I was reproached by a reader on The Independent website for condoning under-age drinking – "or is it alright if it's middle-class kids at Wimbledon as opposed to council estate youths with alcopops?" However, this reader was then reproached by another reader for typifying a mealy-mouthed nation obsessed with "petty" class distinctions. All very revealing.
Similarly revealing was Andy Murray's metamorphosis into Tim Henman on Monday evening, or at least a Murray crowd's metamorphosis into a Henman crowd. Until Murray's epic five-setter against Stanislas Wawrinka, the Centre Court faithful had never wholly embraced the fiercely-driven Scot. He was just a little too Braveheart for their liking, altogether too single-minded in his assault on the world rankings.
By 10.45pm on Monday, that had all changed. By almost snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in a match he was expected to win pretty comfortably, Andy did a Tim, and duly carried the crowd with him all the way. Posterity will always remember the encounter as the first men's singles match to take place beneath the Centre Court's handsome new retractable roof, but its real significance lies in what it told us about ourselves: that we only really rally to the cause of one of our own when he threatens to fall short.
We are happy when we are the underdogs, a little self-conscious when we're top dogs. Or to put it another way, we (unlike the Australians and Americans) love our sports stars less for their infallibility than their vulnerability. On Monday, it took the spectre of Murray going out in a five-set ding-dong without even reaching the quarter-final stage (in other words, the spectre of Henman) to infuse the crowd with proper partisan passion. A week earlier, nobody had been quite sure whether the grassy slope in front of the big screen should be called Henman Hill or Murray Mount, but it is assuredly now the latter. For the Wimbledon crowd, Murray has finally come of age as a true Brit, not because he won but because he nearly lost.
Yet, even in referring to him as a Brit, I am illuminating another part of our national psyche, our collective identity crisis. North of the border they still rail that the English call him British when he succeeds and Scottish when he fails.
On the other hand, there are those who still cannot forgive him for his crack that in Euro 2006 he would support whichever international football team was playing England. He was 19 at the time, it was a mischievous throwaway line and yet it dogs him still. On radio phone-ins this week, a dispiriting number of Englishmen have expressed support for whoever stands across the net from Murray. That is a chippy minority he will never carry with him, whether he wins or even nearly loses.
