First time out with the D4

[Barry Williams]

I thought I would share our first impression with our new car with you.

Last weekend at Talywain, Greg (my son) ran a Hot Bodies Worlds Edition D4 for the first time, a bit daunting running a new car at a National, but this is a brief description of how we got on.
We got the car last Wednesday giving me two nights to build it before setting off on Friday for Welsh Wales. All I can say is that the car is very very impressive, the first time it was run (apart from a quick blast on the field on Saturday night) was on the Sunday. Greg qualified 8th in the E final (his best ever qualifying at a national) & was lying a strong fourth until another car accidentally landed on top of him damaging his front shocker, still ran round carefully to finish 9th.

Overall first impression is that the car was a very well made piece of kit, easy to build & went around the track really well, especially for the first time out. We built & ran the car exactly as the kit set up apart from 40wt oil in the front shockers.
When i asked Greg what he thought of the car he said one word "Awesome".

I would highly recommend this car to anyone as a top car straight out of the box.

Big thanks to Adam & Lindsay Skelding for there help & advice over the weekend, much appreciated.
