Jimmy another great reveiw
couple of things that may help you with the chassis tape at the back of the car we cut a peice out of the extra from the back of the car and place it on the chassis before laying the rest of the tape and we also put button head screws in the two back holes as well this helps to take some of the abuse that the back of the chassis gets our surface is brutal as well and these tricks do help

i'll see if i can post a pic tomorrow when i get home

Awesome review again Jimmy.

The interviews were great as well as the main car building/review, interesting to hear a little about the starting of JCConcepts company, again it just shows you what can be achieved if you’re willing to put the time and effort in.

Love the effect on the 1st image, kinda ghostly atmosphere effect, looks cool. Also the comparison shots are great and I personally find them very interesting.

Keep up the good work, one day it will make you rich and famous beyond your wildest dreams… well maybe not, who knows… let’s hope so huh.

Thanks bathy. I find it quite frustrating sometimes that I just dont have the time to do it all as nice as I'd like, but still the end result looks ok, then I remind myself its for free ! so I dont care so much then !

To be quiet frank, I dont think anyone couldda done a better review. Very informative, thorough & fair. Jimmy i think if you decided to do your own rc mag with reviews and all that, i think you could be on your way to being a rich fella as you seem to be very good at what you do. Good job :smile:

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.
