He's quite quick with it as well...
darrylpt - May 19, 2006 07:45 PM (GMT)
used to be a bit quicker when using sticks (ko vantageII),but recently changed to steering wheel so as you may have noticed my racing lines are a bit random till i get used to it

Yeah i marshalled you 2 wks back but i can't say much about lines...

Thanks for that Darryl, and yes it was a good idea to give this one a miss.

I've gotta ask this as it's really bugging me. Why is it that folks that race buggies go all out on the shell but "forget" about the spoiler? Such a cool paint theme going on but why leave the spoiler invisible? Not a dig at you Darryl - 'the clear spoiler thing' seems to be very common. Is it simply because they don't last long out on the track?

good question phoenix,that is a new rear wing on mine,so i will smarten it up with some decals,couldnt get hold of a losi wing so had to modify a b4 wing,and the in thing at the moment is using a high down force wing it helps with keeping the car planted on the track and makes the car jump nicely so that the front end doesnt nose dive

neil reason mine didnt go round corners to well and kept drifting off the racing line was that the rear diff was locked up due to one of the diff bearings collapsing,so i had no rear wheel steering (really awkward to drive with a solid axle)

Good point and a pain in the ass!
