Normally manufacturers and racers have to buy a car to discover that kind of information, especially for copy purposes.....LOL

Mr Foley run his on Tuesday night at Silverstone RCMCC and it look really good for a hurried build. 3 other members of the club have purchased the DB1 kits and should be running next week.

Must be a record for DB1 build, about an hour and 20 mins!!!

Being as it had the wrong back end on it I couldn't believe how good it is...!!

Default DB1 debut
Took my DB1 for its debut at Broxtoxe car club last night & have to say it was awesome!
Once I put it on some decent tyres it came alive!
Superb turn in, superb traction, awesome bump handling!
Was going to back to back it with my Vega, but was so impressed I couldn't leave it alone! Lol

Can't wait to run it again. Think it'll be our next regional on grass.
Bring it on!

Thanks to Tony & Kev for all the help & advice.

I cannot explain the satisfaction it gives us hearing all the great results the car is giving everyone….this is the best part of all the hard work by a long way…..

I heard today that Paul Field got 2nd at the South West regional just behind Chris Rowcliffe (F1) and thus Paul is now currently top F2…..superb news

Scott Faulkner backed up his A final from DMS Regional event with a great qualification at the SHRCC Regional today with a 8th position on the grid and 3 great legs in the A to give him a 6th finish – big well done to Scott

5 Kyosho based cars in the main A with 4 of them being DB1s
Kev Lee, Matt Perry, Tony Evdoka, Scott Faulkner and Steve Brown - super finishing results…..




Here is Scott with his DB1 – well done Scott




Here is Kev that today cleaned up the BRCA Regional Mid-South Championship driving his Kyosho DB1.
Impressive with a TQ and win on every round thus far…..top man…..
