This must have been on Friday, Before it was covered in gaffer tape for the beer race and later hurled at the ring of fire :lol:

[mole2k]

Yeah that was friday night late in the evening!

[Gaz_Stanton]

Some great pics there! :thumbsup:
Love the one of my B44 submerged on the banking. That was before the final started and it still went on to complete the 6 mins after that drenching.

I tried to dry mine out last night by running it, it actually made a squeeky rusty noise :lol:

Then seized up completely :thumbdown: Hope that motor you submerged for me has survived Gaz, it was certainly quick enough in your hands in that 3rd leg! :thumbsup:

[Gaz_Stanton]

Oops! That's not evidence, water is photoshopped on there honest. :blush:

Your motor will be fine as not a drop of water inside the shell. :thumbsup: That photo was before the final and it did the race fine.
That's kinda why I went boring serious and didn't do the banking during the race. It wasn't my motor I would've drowned!

Ace pictures, tell us about your tools n techniques - I've not seen this sort of style in rc pics before?!

[mole2k]

The camera's a Canon 20D and most of the shots where taken on a 70-200 f4L with the wider shots on a sigma 10-20mm.

As for techniques, I just really took them like I go about taking my other action photos. In general I aim to try and get the car nicely composed (often off-center with a 2:1 crop) and have the car in some sort of context so it's not just a close up shot of a car as that generally ends up with a fairly boring shot.
