Gotta let someone else win once in a while 😉

Yeah, 4wd's were low so the class was mixed

It doesnt matter as long as you have fun. If you like the older buggies theres a good amount of vintage/rear motor buggies going around, usually a good 2 heats worth plus its fairly relaxed racing.

There were about 35 today. Fairly good turnout for Mendip.

It was nice in the dry. Amazing the difference a week makes!

Its the best 2 results of the 3 finals to count so I assume it allows for a bad final. Its only at regional or national level it tends to happen and only the A finalists. Some clubs do it too but would usually be for all finals if they do. We didnt escape the weather, it hammered it down about 12pm and we spent a good hour brushing and sucking up the tens of litres of water from the track, just small showers after that but track remained pretty waterlogged and very greasy.

Yeah meant to be but I think they're still in discussions with the landlord to stay a little longer, not 100% sure of the whole story tbh.

Where is this

@@mike_dc3359 Mendip RC Raceway, its near Weston super mare in the southwest.

Varies from meeting to meeting. Sometimes none, sometimes a good 8-10. 4WD has died off since Covid.

Thanks buddy. Its an Storm ST, seems to run nicely enough.

Been the same layout since the regionals in like Aug and it'll be the same until the next one :) Its deffo not the most enjoyable layout. Gone are the days of a new layout for every meeting.

Agreed. I have been at Brands Hatch when a bike ran through a gravel trap, and somersaulted into the catch fence, showering us spectators with gravel. And that was just at a club meeting, so maybe 80 or 90 mph. That was quite enough for me......

Should had seen the other finals, ours was one of the better ones :)

Could had been worse but I needed a good start to stand any chance, downsides of being the slowest and not getting a good start :)

I think I was owed some luck from qualifying!

I think you owe me a rematch !!!

@@leebond8166 Prefer not with the brave moves you were pulling :) you had some pace!

@@dynamight1124 brave or stupid , gave Adam space lol . And I’d pulled off the inside line off that jump in qually just was like half a foot too left on this one there was no way round you and you rarely make mistakes didn’t know how to get past you with out a 1st class postage stamp

First rule of trucks: There are no rules.

The 4WD wasn't great, it was slapping around quite a bit, I think I need to get a better oil combo to be honest, the 2WD felt lovely over the bumps. I saw your final, car looked fast! Big difference to the XB4?

Its mostly a UK thing, back in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's most cars were sold with a stick transmitter so if you were a kid and raced then thats what you started with. Anyone younger than like 25-30 probably races with a wheel in the UK. The rest of Europe tends to me wheel at any age. Any newcomers are pointed towards wheel as they are quite a bit cheaper and has more variety than stick.

I think there is a line where you can bomb into it, but theres also a few lines cause crashes! I wimped out and just went slower into it :)

Its a Mobius Maxi. Theres a few versions of the Mobius cameras, been good for me, had the Maxi for about 4 years and the original Mobius about 5 years prior.

Most videos I upload are there for the people that raced that evening to watch back but sometimes CZcams seems to chuck them out there in peoples recommended for some reason :) Probably what you wanted if you were after that CZcams cash!

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.
