A couple of bits turned up for the RS4 today,
Proline wheels, medium yellow inserts and a set of Pit Shimizu formula wets.
Im thinking that if i go with wets they will be better for running on a carpark than if i try and run my race slicks with additive.
The carparks are just too dirty for race tyres and they just wont perform.
So we shall see.

Heres a few shots of the car with its new boots..
I need to install either my 40mhz or my 27mhz radio, new failsafe, new glowplug and a few other little bits. Then its just the geometry to be setup and new fuel and away we go
Ive decided agains running the old scooby body so im gonna run the sleeker celica

My truck is dead, was having a bit too much fun with the 2WD conversion.
It was snaking and doing doughnuts like nobodies business and the conrod let go
Nevermind, all good fun, and at least it won't cost £3000 to repair the engine

As for deciding on what to get next, I'm impressed with John's truck, yes the Traxxas maybe better, but I haven't seen one, and basically, my choice (rightly or wrongly) was decided on that merit.

To be honest mate, I don't know much about Nitro trucks, tuning them - yes as I've been messing around with nitro engines for a good few years now, back when you could buy a brand new OS 15 aeroplane engine from a model shop for £15!

Fair enough mate.. I just kinda got the impression you were heavily into your RC trucks etc.
You wont go wrong with the Savage as the availabllity and variety of aftermarket parts is masive.
Heres the REVO by the way. Notice the super clean layout and the cantileaver, inbound mounted shocks. If i was after a nitro truck.. this would be my choice.

No way man.. none of the 1/5th even come close to the MCD Racing setup.. you can get a full FG for £650..
the MCD is £900 without an engine.
When you look at the design and quality.. you can see why.
Central mounted engine for perfect 50:50 weith distribution, 4 wheel drive and adjustable torque diffs are just a few items that set this head and shoulders above anything else out there. Not even the Technokit comes close IMO.

I've always wanted a Tamiya Clodbuster as a kid, but got a Black foot instead, just love off roading and the Thunder Tiger SSK can't handle the abuse I give it, everytime I use it, I have to repair something or other
