vinny, no-body has criticised the car itself.. if at all it has only been the shell.

That's ok i got a bit worried then the shell is not that bad

Do remember the quality of the pics too, don't do it justice.

Some better pics of the shells below.
Personally I like it as it's not like the rest of the buggies styles.





Probably get severly rollocked for putting them up, but seeing as Jimmy put Adams pics up then I can't see it hurting too much.

Absoluty cracking work Tell

love the shape of the shell, look sweet along side a D4

I love the red effect on that, think I remember saying the same about Adams D4 shell actually Looks amazing Tel, good work.

[mattym0310]

amazing work tel, as always!

I know those are the sponsors, but it's a shame to spoil such a nice paintjob with those uggly decals all over it. Luckily I 'm not sponsored and can keep it as clean as I like

[telboy]

Thanks for the big ups. But I was only really putting it on for you to see the shape of the shell.

Cheers doods.

News from the shootout. (Now I have fired the laptop back up and got it to work)

Travis finished 4th in 2wd with the D2, so an excellent result for the car on it's first official outing.
Jesse Robbers ended up 21st after some rough luck in qualifying.
Myself, well I improved on last years performance finishing 24th also with the D2. We still have some prototype stuff on the car, but by the end of july, it should all be pretty much sorted. We've now put some serious miles on all three cars after being at the shootout from Tuesday to Sunday.

Little bugs have been found and are being sorted out before I come home. Safe to say my B4 is now officially retired and the D2 will be run at the Batley Regional and remaining rounds of the National Series I will be attending.

I'll get some more pics uploaded later.

Great results for first time out, especially on a foreign surface for you Adam, well done. By the way, if one of your American pals misplaces his D2 & it somehow happens to be in with your luggage when you head home, then i'm sure I can find a good home for it!!! Lol

Class looking bodyshell also, plus great paint by Tel, looks awesome

Adam the car looks awsome I cant wait till its done and I can get mine.
Congrats on making a dialed car.
later Jeremy

nice one adam, a great job well done,

How would you rate the steering capabilities of the car? It seems to be a little problem to get the RB-5 and the Losi dialed, what about the lovely HB? ...can't await to unwrap my birthday present when I return from sunny AFG in late October...

Race Pics are here:
http://jbphotography.smugmug.com/At%...20Races/550018
They're by a guy called Jason Boulanger, he's the USA version of Jimmy and has bigger lenses!!!

The underbody shots of the D2 are in the Mains folder. Still some prototype parts on it for all you anoraks, but it's pretty much finalised.

[telboy]

Whats the horse all about?

Looking nice though..


Click on the pics for more images of the D2.

Can anybody tell me shocks setup (springs (HB, Losi ...), oil (Edit, Losi, Asso), piston) that have been used by Adam, Travis or Jesse at HotRod race?

Thanks
