air valley was the best clay track in the uk and the water used to just run off as they mixed oil in with the clay
then the enviroment people noticed the oil was being washed away into the river behind the rostrum and sent the club a bill to clean it

hence no more air valley so if anybody is thinking of having a go at building a clay track THINK ABOUT IT.

I think your right.

To back Pavidis up there is Hoddap and a fair few other quick guys from the USA and Asia.

As far as design input goes remember where Gil Losi Jr is now ..... a lot of people seriously rate him as a design tallent (although I will admit to not being too keen on the later Losi products the XX and it's forefarters were awesome).

With regard to those people who say the SP is 2 years behind I am interested to know what they base that on and if they have actually driven one long enough to get used to it and get it to suit them???? Everybody who drives mine likes it .... those who have driven it please come and have another go ..... it just got even better!!

The RB5 seems to be taking a lot of wins in the USA .... which means those guys are choosing a product from outside the USA over a domestic one .... unusual in all aspects of their commercial markets!!!

Don't discount the big K out of hand ........ they are back in 1/10th with a vengence!

I stil Say AE, ive read all the post and there are some good points ,but if you go on some of the US forums and read what the AE drivers are testing in regards to lipo-weight and set up they really know what they are doing.

Losi do still have some drivers dont they? is Jessie Mike and that crew in the us still with them??
