Have you had a go with the X5 Stu? I cant reccommend it highly enough, occasionally it even makes me look like I can drive (Batley national for eg)

I say stay with the B4 in 2wd, you know that car inside out, no wasting runs chasing the perfect set up.

Of course if anyone was to offer you HIGHLY DESERVED sponsorship (hint hint to anyone reading this) that may bias the descision.

If you fancy giving the X5 a go this year stu let me know, I think I might be able to help you. You can borrow my kyosho soon also if you want to give it a go.

I don't think Tamiya are taking off-road lightly, remember, when they went into scale saloon, they are still there, at the top, the problem with Tamiya, is unless you got a factory drive or a decent shop owner, Hobby Co (UK distributor) is useless, they brought 10 501X's into the country, and it isn't like they support ANY of the TRF cars in a spares way, let alone drivers.

I dunno about Losi, hmmmm.

CML and do the B4 and BX or S4?

I dunno about X-Factory, I would of thought they are looking for drivers, but I dunno.

My guess is the only team Tamiya will have is their factory TRF drivers - and thats it. So the likes of Rheinard and Honigl etc. After that it will be Tamiya fans and other privateers. Which, certainly for the UK, means no top drivers possibly. Unless a random team sponsored someone to run one of course

Didn't you just say a couple of weeks back that you won't be marketing your stuff, and that it was for you to run??

Ooh yeah - here you go:

"Who ever mentioned me making a car to sell? The car I am building (currently) is purely for fun
It was purely a question I wanted answering, sorry if it upset or offended you."


AND - "The only way on this earth I am going to market this car is if it is the best thing since sliced bread lol And Makes me beat Neil Cragg Until then, its just a one-off custom car"

Stu - from what i know about you, Development is something you seem to enjoy (anyone that wins a national with a Traxxas has to know a thing or two) so why don't you just do something different even if just for the year? You can always go to a B4 and BX next year if they're looking like the best cars, but surely it'd be a really good fun challenge to get hold of the Kyosho, 501X, X6 etc just to see what you can do with them?

Go on lad, think outside the box

Look at me - still sticking with the old B3 for now Maybe you could get the old Traxxas out of retirment lol

Dunt really matter what you drive in my opinion, I've been through a few and know of the ones to stay away from.. but any of the top manufacturered 4wds anyone can do well with.

In all seriousness, go for what you think looks nice, and then make it handle as none of them need serious work to make um a winner.

I'm honestly not bothered what i drive this year, I swapped to the b4 after the season closed and plan to stick with it for a good amount of time, for reasons of funds ( lack of ) and ive already invested too much time in the car to consider going back. The BJ4 was just to cater for the B4 as set up changes do nearly the same on both cars.

Nick, will there ever be any chance of you driving something more up to date BJ4,BX,501TRF etc.
Would love to see you driving one of the newer kids on the block

Thanks for that I think i will get a B4 at some stage this year, i'm still on a tight budget so just trying to gradually build up some stuff, but with Brushless getting better and better that will help me out a lot as at the moment the whole skimming motors thing is a real pain and costs a fortune....

I don't think i'll ever get back into it enough to do Nationals etc, for now it's just good fun having CML Raceway up the road to have some fun when the weather's good......
