The only thing I have to say about this car is that they need to get some good drivers on the team for Europe so then they can help with good set ups and make the car a World winner. I think it is in the car. Maybe next year?

I am sorry but it is the IPC and it is the best brushed speedo that I have ever used. It felt like I had brand new batteries in when I switched from Nosram to Mpower. Really good.

finally, after waiting for two months on the new Orion brushless esc I decided to get the LRP and finish the car... I normally race a smelly mp777 WCE buggy, but this buggy will get some tracktime soon!
It's fitted with a LRP sphere, Orion 6.5, Orion 3800 lipo, futaba bls 451 and nomadio receiver.

New body for my RB5. Team Azarashi, no flat surfaces anywhere. Ended up using liquid mask since there was no way i was getting tape in most of those spots. I really need to practice with the knife though. also need to come up with some ideas for the solid areas.

My car at Saturdays indoor MSEC race here in Sweden. I made a terrible qualifying and got the last spot in the a-main(position 10). But then I found a great setup for the finals and came in a total second place (out of 22):)

Here's my effort. First outing yesterday and wow what a joy to drive! Amazed at what big differences in handling came from small adjustments. Cant wait to play more.....

Hi all,
Your shells all look fantastic. Do you do them yourselves or use a custom paint service?
Cheers,

Here are a couple of pictures of my RB5.
I'm waiting for the shell to come back this weekend.
I have all the Ghea parts on the car, Atomic carbon front / rear uprights and some lead plate under the Lipo pack. The cars weighs in at 1480 grms.
I'm still running the standard rear arms, but with proline axles so I can run B4 wheels (which I have a lot of).
