Hi,

first mid kit ready for the Black Country Arena.
the gearbox is very smooth, a real pleasure!

good week-end at the BCA : C expected and I've finished 5 on the B!

results here :

nice trip with Sylvain Jacquemin, Jérôme Sartel (TQ&win the 4wd, beautifull race Jérôme!) and Fabien Simonini.
and what a track! I'll be back on this great place, for sure!!

but the most important thing for the FT : the mid gearbox is okay after many packs on the astro-turf. and I run with a tight slipper, everytime.

other :

the differents compatible bodies I have :

Puma from FTW

the mid motor gearbox is not available, I'm really sorry for this delays!
the manufacturer has made a main mistake, we've look for solutions but nothing acceptable for the market.

one of the two prototypes after the EIR 2012, all is good, no problems!

one of the best in the batch :

looks good but a play with the slipper axle (outside bearing), usable but impossible to sell it.

a lot of work for nothing...

mea culpa from the manufacturer and I'm waiting for a new batch. next week!?
