totally aggre dbuggyracer, if it were up to the buggy itself, we all would be Pro's lol, getting good "Track tactiks" is key, then you have like mentioned, good set up of the buggy.. hopefully RbedudeRC can get good footage of the NSW state champs.

what you think of the new body etc..? the wing isnt mounted yet so it ll look better once i get that done today as well as stickers.. ill get some better shot of the body later for a better look at deatil.

nik your still young you have alot of time to practice and practice makes perfect, i am 31 and im just know getting were i can compete with the faster guys so dont get discouraged just practice. and DaRcGuru you body looks good it kinda looks like some colors i would chose i ran one of those wings on my xray its pretty good i will get some pics of mine when i get it i think i am going to go with a little different color scheme this time maybe some brighter colors so i can see my car a little better, with age go sight so i need all the help i can get

Thanks, learned from my mistakes that i made on the first body so its definatly a good improvment, from what i recall your 16 nik, am i right? if so man keep at it and you ll be real good if you've already improved from when you first started to now, it can only get better.

close! 15. i have only been in the hobby for a little over a year and a half, and i just started racing seriously in the past 4 or 5 months. i like to think i have progress a lot in that time. especially considering im already moving into expert! [8D]

i really like the ocm, i got a smokin deal on mine ($180 with at least $100 in parts and only a gallon on it), and i havent broken a part on it since (2-2 1/2 gallons i think?). It's a really great car, i cant say anything bad about. the only thing that i cant seem to tune out of it is the fact that it likes to be driven on power, and it doesnt have as much low speed steering as i would like. still working on getting that where i want it. of course, i like my cars to be able to turn on a pinhead.

one question for you team guys. on my PT mount, only 2 of the 3 holes line up, have any of you had that problem?

alright lucky you, wish i had the cash to start at that age. update pic coming soon

I had to do a little modifying on my ppb to get mine to turn like i wonted and if you can get 2 screws threw the pt you will be fine since mine only had to ears i never noticed anything.

haha, i barely do, im constantly having to scrape money out of nowhere just to race.

The 2 cars are far from the same.....our suspension arms are 2mm shorter than MugenR's.....our shocktower geometry is also different.....the ackerman plate sits lower in the buggy and also has overall difference in geometry. I'm not going to say that our buggy is BETTER than any other buggy....but it can, and does more than hold it's own against the other more POPULAR brands. We have an A-Main finish at the Nationals and a 15th place finish at the Pre-Worlds warm up race. If you choose not to run, or like this buggy that's totally up to you......

alright fair enough, keep at it, mabe one day you ll make a living out of what you enjoy doing.

coming shortly pics that i took this morning,all mounted and ready to race.

looks good my freind.

Thanks, ill try save the body and wing,wheels for the NSW state champs and just run the old body,wing,wheels.

cant wait to run the Vspec in, gotta love the smooth powerband from it and with the speed 2060 it ll hummm.

??????????


Buggy looks good!

lovin it hehe[8D]
