brushed and brushless run together now Lee, they've split it 2wd and 4wd this year.

Doughty's car in that video is brushed, everyone else I think was brushless. We run brushed and brushless together this year as last year the fastest brushed cars in stock were doing faster laps than the fastest brushless cars so there isn't much in it.

With the new Novak Mongoose you can even run sensored brushless for the first time in micro's. The Mongoose's are blisteringly quick so most guys use the 13.5 to race. We also allow lipo's in all classes so expect 20-40 minute run times with good cells.

Most people now use the FTX Blaze or LRP Shark Monster (with a buggy body) but there are still quite a few Associated RC18's, XRay M18T's, etc. In 2WD you see Exotek converted Mini-T's and Tamiya GB-01/02 chassis.

You'll be ordering one soon anyway Craig. They get pretty popular over the winter.

Well, I'm going to be racing a standard RC18T made from loads of old spare parts, even with foams on your Blaze you'll do better than me, so you won't be last!

RACE, RACE, RACE!

That's the one thing in my favour, I hung onto my lipos
you'll be needing your batteries anyway as you'll be racing, WON'T YOU??

Anyway, now everyone knows that they won't be last, how about a few more entries!!
