bruce thompson came 2nd overall at batley regional i think with an original one. shows how they are still very competitive cars.

Youre definately right. The ZX5-SP (Kyosho's latest magic) is a similar platform, so I see nothing wrong with our Original car.

AE B4 FT

AE B44

AE RC8

although I'll be doing a lot more gas than electric this season for a few reasons, but quality of tracks in the UK being the main reason!

[Chris Harte]

RC10T4,
Maybe a B44 or a Schumacher Mi3,if I decide to get either one.

And my 1:1 car will hopefully be a renault megane, or a vauxhall astra (the new one). Just need to pass my test first.

[Nyna]

Hi together,

I will be using an electric XTM X-Cellerator this year. Just bashing around no serious driving/racing. That car is perfect for this. And its a real bargain. 75 GBP (don´t know how to make the currency symbol) for a fully ball raced car equipped with CVDs alloy dampers and the best/smoothest ARR ball differential I´ve ever seen is really hot.

Hope to get my hands on a Tamiya Durga soon. My wife told me she and my son participated for me in the Durga competition.

Bye

Andy
