My first ever bash at racing was with a stock Tamiya Manta Ray at Southport, it was so slow it was untrue, someone called 'lapping' on the straight and being inexperienced I moved to one side - the same side he chose to pass me at great speed... He ploughed right up the back on the Tamiya making it go the fastest it had ever gone but it carried on pootling along - his car however did something I liken to a clown car, all 4 corners literally detaching from the chassis in a spray of plastic - I was only about 11 and this guy came barrelling up to me afterwards to give me an ear bashing - my dad, not the smallest of blokes told him to wind his neck in, which he promptly did, haha.

I didn't return to racing until I'd modded the hell out of that car - It was still no good!

Meant to reply to this a couple of years ago now haha, but I remember the XX4's first meeting, it was the 1996 or 97 National at Marston Palmer on the Grass track...

The biggest problem next to dumping was the Front shock towers! There were a couple of big kerbs through a chicane where the XX4's were just literally exploding on impact and there was a serious shortage of front towers after practise! I remember people aralditing them together in the hope they would last!

That was before they put the X brace across it and strengthened it up!

Just found this thread, Shane your post did make me laugh. My worst in 4wd was a Lazer ZX5, just couldnt get on with it. And in 2wd was Kyosho again with a Maxxum FF, had it way back in 89 and still make me shiver for how bad it was.
