heh, cheers.
Not certain what direction its all going in at the moment, had a good laugh with the reviews and a whole load of frustration. Without taking things to that next level I think it might soon dry up which would be a shame really.
JConcepts was great with help and access - the Q&A with jason ruona was the highlight of all the reviews for me so far.

You wont dry up matey Just make a project car or something till more cars come out, or start reviewing equipment like motors, brushless systems, batteries, shells, radios e.t.c See I have just given you 10 years worth of rc ideas for free, how generous am I? lol I'll get you a sponsor if you want, I have 'contacts' lol

I've had help but its mainly from smaller and/or usa based companies.
Getting a reply to an email from some UK importers is like getting blood out of a stone. Which forces me to look abroad for help - I have tried to sort a ***** for review with a shop in the USA but so far nothings come of it.

Fired off an email to Korea this morning to try and sort something else hehe. (now sorted, yay)

Most of the current crop of cars are great to be honest mate - they all have their small drawbacks of course.
The BJ4 is a great car and is pretty darn robust also - you'll certainly not be disappointed with it

Had my bj4 worlds about 2 months now, and the car is very good, quick and easy to work on, handles well and parts are cheaper than alot of other 4wd's on the market.

I've had it indoors mostly, and outdoors once on a wet day at Bury.. on both surfaces the car prooved to be a winner. I seriously can't wait to get it outdoors on some high grip madness!

I took the car out for a test session outdoors at a undisclosed track. The track was quite damp, but the car took it on and continued to impress me..

I belive this car will be a very good contender in the upcoming nationals, it hadnt prooved it self indoors as much as i'd like.. but the pace and handeling the car was giving outside, even on a damp track was unreal.

Roll on April 14th.
