Jimmys CRT Hong Nor Racer review

[PaulRotheram]

Just got my racer mag today, and Jimmys review made front page! Well done fella :D

Not had chance to read it all yet.. I've just had toys arrive but from what I've read it looks a goodun.

The forest picture is ace.. I wonder who was driving that :o :p

Its a great review, the pictures are great, especially the one where it is flying through the air upside down! WOW.

Tallagada Nights "Im flying, im flying"..... "Im on FIRE!"

Haha, Thanks to paul for driving with the kit wheel radio, when he normall uses sticks - almost killing me a few times:p. And vicky for driving in the Quarry also for those photos.

We put a load of time into getting the photos and it was a great laugh.

is it me or havent they mentioned oople

[jimmy]

Racer don't usually mention who reviews a car, I don't think they mention a price either.:)

[bigred5765]

good review though, shame they don't give any credit for it, would have been nice i think just to say review buy oOple

[jimmy]

Nah, I din't even put a discreet oOple sticker on there though, oops.

I have some diff oils as well as a new pull-start on the way from otley modelsport, so anyone want a race ? :p

[_JP_]

pull start ur joking, get a starter box dude!!!


what weight diff oils you going for?

I'll race you, I'll borrow the "team" truggy :)

[jimmy]

Starter box, sounds a bit spenny, how much are they ?
I won a modelsport competition, so its not really cost me anything and enables me to get running again.

going for 30k centre and front and 5k rear.. thats what jb suggested. I might "thin out" the front if its a bit stiff, but the centre I want some heavy madness in to make the thing move.

Getting woodys dad to make me a rear brace for it also all being well.

Super review Jimmy, can't believe you didn't get an oOple sticker or any mention at all. You working fulltime for Racer now then? Oh also you're one of the 'Driver Profile' people from Batley huh, so famous ;)

[jimmy]

Nah bathy not working for Racer, we just have a friendly relationship. It was a good laugh tho to review something a bit different, and a blast to drive.

I know, check that driver profile out haha, I look like a nutter - but the photo is from the Euros and the sun was in mi eyes- honest.

i may have a touch of 5000 and 10000 left jimmy

PS love this shot, you caught what the whole Car is all about
