From L to K.... & then A.....all change

Wow, the whole season just shot past and not a single update!...whoops!

Well a good season on paper, a few headaches and tough races but overall had a great few results.
Buggy Nationals, 98th overall out of 140 drivers.
Truggy Nationals 13th overall out of 45 or so, had 1xDNF and a not so good final Rnd. could do better.
E-buggy National 12th (I think), quite a few 'big' boys making an apperance, still good fun.

SRS 2nd in both Truggy & E-buggy class's.... :)
KMRC 1st for Truggy championship, just missed of a complete full house of 101 points.



and now were done for the summer and back to the cold, very damp rubbish.

Losi has been my staple diet for a number of years, but never really got 'comfortable' with the buggy, truggy is awsome. So I decided to spend a bit (!) of cash and got a pair of Kyosho TKI3's one for Nitro and the other for Electric......had a few runs with them and definiatly a different feel and so far easier for me to drive.

Then along came NEMO, not the damn fish, NemoRacing, I started off trying to buy a nice new Agama truggy, got a talking and boom, a nice little deal and a pair of cars, and engine, fuel & spares were in a box to me.....not for free, but I'm now 'supported' and part of a team!

As of yet no track time with  the new toys, but I'll do a little Buggy/Truggy build report soon.

I also made a long.......... long awaited return to an old hobby of mine, mountian bikes, I was once a top racer and regular magazine test rider (MBUK) and felt the urge to get back out in the mud when it's to muddy to race RC's. Only been out once so far, a whole 3 miles lost in the woods, cold and wet........need to get a 'lot' fitter so I can enjoy the thrill again.... New transport is a Specialzed Camber...
Well time to build and prep cars ready for the weekend.

No treats this time as I'm on a diet...........
