Petite Rc race In January
Just a heads up.
We are looking to get some team drivers to race at this event. So far Simon Willets has promised to attend and also Shin Adachi from Japan. Shin is the Designer of all the electric 1/10th cars from Kyosho and also a top world class racer. so for any Kyosho fans it could be worth a trip just to meet Shin as he has never come to Uk to race before as far as i know. Has any other Kyosho fans booked in? I saw Fabs name i think. |

I'd love to go, looks like it could be great fun but from a practical point of view its just not viable as it would cost more for this one event than my whole winter racing! :'(
Good luck to the Kyosho guys at this event, please somebody take some video footage of the K' cars running. |

Thanks for the replies,
Make sure to come and say hello to myself and Shin and the Team. I spoke with Nicolas Petite and he mentioned that its nearly fully booked so preference will go to those who pay early!!!!!! This is my first EP buggy race i have attended for years, so i am very much looking forward to how things have changed since i last raced with my Optima mid Turbo and my Cougar many many years ago. |

Neil,
Have you got any set ups yet from Si yet?? Also with Shin coming and knowing what to expect surface wise... has he got a starting set up for his FS? Im more or less there with mine now running lipo and 180g has made the car feel good to me... my set up is on petit.. |

If you can make it down that would be fantastic. I was planning to go to Worksop on the 20th to get to you guys north of the watford gap ;-) but my daughter insisted i go watch her Nativity play. As far as credit crunch goes it has affected a lot of people me included. I havent raced or flown for months now. I do miss it but i have to prioritise at moment like most people. I would love to get an FS and have a play maybe next year |

Ok, bank manager is going to want a word with me after this but both event entry (both 2wd & 4wd) and hotel are booked up.
All I need now is a carpet event prior to this to tune the set-ups ... FS has never been on carpet and the RB5 hasn't since last Jan! Anybody know of any not a million miles away??? |

I decided to enter especially as shin is supposed to be going, and all the good reports ive heard about this meet.. We'll be able to find out all the set up tips and pointers from the designer himself Incidently, ive noticed that both Shin and Si willets are still on the "waiting to pay list" Neil, any gen? Im at Broxtowe this sunday which is high grip carpet, raced here a few times.. still working on a good set up for both cars.. not far off so will keep you posted pal |

Roger, Nick - Have a look in the petit setups' page, there is something from last year. That 'll be probably a raw starting points for both cars.

Nick I am in the Ramada too
Arno ... was the FS even available last winter? Think I built mine in Feb and it was one of the first conversion kits officially in the UK IIRC. Will look at the site to check over the RB5 set-ups and work from there |

Yes Roger, the FS was available at this time of the year, Fabs was running the car.
CU there! |
