And there is also the fact that the 2 (or 3 now) main players have designed their cars to be fast on brown dirt.......

I race on green dirt......

Thing is, if no-one pushes on with the mid-motor concept, then how do we know how good it is?

So Northy, keep developing sire, we need innovative and creative people like you to keep pushing foward.

When someone said: I am going to invent a hunk of metal, that rolls on bin lids, and is powered by small controlled explosions, people laughed. The result?

The daddy of all cars

The harsh lines scare away all but the bravest and fearless petrolheads Personally I like most cars that don't look like the bubbles most manufacturers are producing.

how many wins has an mid motor mounted car had as opposed to a rear mounted motor?

How much money are you guys going to waste before you go back to the rear mount... Atomic?????

PaulR - are you seriously suggesting in all your apparent knowledge that you know Team Losi have NEVER tried a mid mounted motor setup? Come on my friend, how long have you been involved with the running of Team Losi america and your afiliation with Gil Jnr and Snr? Long?

And are you also saying that Team Losi are no longer interested in Car racing at all? mate ring them, speak to a member of the R&D team and ask how their 8IGHT campaign is going... Your sarky thoughts and cutting down people cause of your "apparent knowledge" man is not stupid, its embarassing...

All of you guys, tell me why if it such a HUGE advantage to have a mid mounted car, are you not winning on a grand scale (club meets not included at ma and pa's backyard bash) I guess Kyosho, Team Losi, AE, etc in no particular order, have got it wrong hey?

its light hearted until you make a brief, piss take of a comment champion

Most UK racers dream of dirt, and an indoor complex similar to the privileged US racers.

We have to face the biggest player of all. Mrs Weather. She don't half throw some ol' crap at us here in the UK.

aluminium corrodes as soon as you cut it, it develops a small layer of aluminium oxide on the surface (iron oxide from iron is rust) which is inert, which is why it doesn't "corrode" properly at all
