Default RE: Wanna race?

Aye, just a bit.

The lil old funfactor is a good platform, nice handling and pretty bloody quick too - all as standard. Modding is easy and very effective too. Even the Rally is a sight to be seen mixing it with touring cars (cutting corners and running them over) and the MT had that big one off win over the pond.

Its a bit of a mystery to me why it never took off more on the racing scene. Maybe it was just the FF name and peoples egos that got in the way?

Dammit - we need the JT Racing chassis back available. Sure the Talon/NX chassis is one piece, longer WB etc, but it has no racing pedigree attached to it. So many times has my (stationary) truck been ridiculed, until the JT "stamp" is seen underneath, then its taken a lot more seriously. Daft really, but due to the age group that dominate the market of RC, its to be expected I guess.

The FF, was actually specifically named in the UK rules as being non-eligable to compete in the 1:10 MTs... what does that tell you? Like you say Scouser, if someone with a good racing history/fashionable name got behind it, it would have made a killing. Maybe its not too late for the FFs replacements?

ps - Hint, hint... please...
