Seems like the press is blowing it up worse than it is because of Clarkson's past problems. The producer that was involved tweeted that there was no punch.
It's been everywhere here all week. They arrived back at the hotel late at night and Clarkson demanded steak to eat. The chef had already gone home, so they were offered a cold platter instead. Allegedly this led to a half an hour offensive tirade directed at the producer and ended with Clarkson punching him in the face. Not surprisingly he's ended up suspended until an investigation is done to find out exactly what happened.
Of course a bunch of idiots are signing petitions to have him reinstated, even though he hasn't been sacked yet as the BBC haven't got all the facts. If it proves to be true I'm sure all those complaining about it would also be the first to shout if a work colleague smacked them in the face for no reason.

A note of importance is that the producer did not actually make a complaint, Clarkson reported it by himself.

I like the idea of him having a show on Netflix. Would just need to bring James May on board to be successful. Hammond is alright too but I wouldn't miss him if he wasn't there.
Read another article saying that Clarkson's fate hasn't been decided yet and him getting sacked is just a rumor/hoax.
Though more money is always a mind changer. I could see Hammond staying if he were offered the captain's chair but I don't see May tolerating Richard as the leader for too long before they have their own fracas.
I doubt Richard and James would continue without Jeremy. The 3 of them were a perfect dynamic that can't be replicated without Jeremy, or with a replacement host. If they tried to give it a go without Jeremy, it wouldn't be the same and wouldn't last more than a season or two. In this case I'd say its better to burn out than fade away.
...or all of this could be a publicity stunt to drive up interest in the show. Imagine the viewer numbers if they returned after this!

Any one else here attempt to digest the new US Top Gear? I threw up twice for the first episode, and enjoyed the Mitsu Lancer Evo bit on tonight's show-but am otherwise utterly
disgusted.
And the US Stig , hmmmmm, let's see a 105 lb race driver...

I much prefer the UK Top Gear. The USA Top Gear could be much better. I'm not a fan of Adam...he's not a bad person, but yeah, I think it's that Northeast vibe. Doesn't work with the So Cal lifestyle. :)
To anyone that loves the Top Gear series, but doesn't have cable or wants to see back episodes, there is a place to find not only Top Gear, but just about any other TV show you'd like to see again.
This link takes you to the Top Gear page. Use the...

One of the guys is the SpeedTV buffoon Rutledge Woods so we'll just have to wait and see how that works. Tanner Foust is perfect for this show. I really enjoy watching the exotic car duels he has with Paul Tracy, that passes the time pretty well.
So who's looking forward to the American version of Top Gear? And instead of the tools that they've chosen for hosts, who would make the perfect hosts for the show?
My vote is for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. I don't have a third pick. Leno and Allen...

The ex-football player/pro wrestler(and a great one) Steve Goldberg is seriously into muscle cars. I don't know if he's into modern stuff, but his muscle collection is sweet. I wouldn't mind seeing him on there. I think the reason the U.S. version...
Thank you lord, for not only ending the horrific season of US Topgear and starting a great season of the real Top Gear- right here in NC 8), and in Ruttlege's back yard :lol:

One of these days I'll have to find a place to put up Season 1-10 I have on disks. I love how upside down the show was in 02... Clarkson had big hair, Hammond had short hair and the first episode crowd is about 8 people LOL.
when you find the time,...
I finished the rebuild of my RC10 A stamp and the final piece of annoyance has been the top shaft nut clamping nut. The threads on my original are all boogered up so I seach for one on flea bay. I get one that the sell claims he threaded a nut on...

Thanks guys! Now only if I asked that question before I purchased the new top shaft...anybody need a top s :roll: haft?!
Does anyone know if the Losi 3022 gear and gear that comes with Losi 3007 are the same gear?
They look like they are , just not sure?

For future reference... The A-3022 top shaft gear is also used on the A-3120 Hydra-Drive/Slipper shaft (Pro-SE & LXT) and on the A&L/Factory Works Power Clutch shaft.
I'm considering a 4wd project and the initial plans depend on being able to replace the 6571 top shaft with a new shaft that's extended on the non-slipper end for the addition of a drive pulley. I either need to be able to remove and reuse the gear...

To convert the top shaft to metric you either have to ream the bearing hole to a 10mm diameter or add some tape around 5x9mm bearings:
