I think rc-pineapple.com is better to be honest - that's where I do ALL my shopping (even for pineapples!) :lol:


Seriously tho, I shouldn't have mentioned it, since I don't think this rctopnews website gets any visitors anyway, but I'm still really worn out from the weekend and felt slightly peeved at this wholesale ripping :cry::p

hehe i left them a comment.

A

I can only see the rcbob comment, i subscribed to the feed as well:confused:

must be moderated, so only you can see it until they approve it.. which they wont! Oh well - they just expanded their readership by 10000% !!! What was I thinking! :lol:

Im not suprised Jimmeh, its well out of order, is there anything that you can do, like encrypt photos so they cannot be copied and pasted?:confused:

Im no guru, and i doubt there is much you can to to stop the pikey bar stewards copying text:thumbdown:

narrr, there's nothing that you can do, and I wouldn't want to stop people doing their own thing. But obviously some commercial news site ripping the whole report is a bit 'off' and not really cricket!. :lol:

Animals!


anyway, enough about them... you coming next time then Lee? it's worth owning an 8th buggy for even if you only race once a year! :)

Yes jimmy and its all your fault, the report made me want one again, so ill be ordering one in the next few weeks and you can get me in through the team oople back door :thumbsup::lol:

Hopefully i can get in myself though, by doing some club events over the summer and getting some results in 8th scale:eh?:

Lee,

Club meet results just won't cut it i'm affraid, to get into the Neo you have to be one of the worlds top 8th drivers!

:p:p:p:p:p

G

it was ace having a little rougue team of oOple misfits, so more is better! :thumbsup:

Oh you bitch:lol:


Its not even like i can grow a beard either, i have nothing to look forward too now:lol:

sneaky fooker
 

Any more walking around our track when its locked and closed night and you may find the oOple back door locked next time :p :lol:

Great report and Photos again dude :thumbsup:

I'm just glad I got rescued from there, I dint fancy spending the night on the track :lol:

Well done on all the hard work mate, track looked awesome - shame I dint get a go :cry:

If there is a electric class next year i would be up for that :thumbsup:

Theres always next time :drool:

http://www.oople.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gifOwing to the fact that as long as I have a hole in my nether regions I'll never be good enough to race at any of these big events I don't usually bother reading too many race reports. That said I've just finished reading every word of the Neo 08 and thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so that I shall try my best to go and see the next one and see how it should be done and leave with an even bigger inferiority complex, doh!

Northy I see we've finally agreed on something, I run a Losi 8 also, although sadly with the same unco-ordinated thumbs as my previous 1/10 cars. From the photo's it looks as if your enjoying 1/8th and I hope everything is going well with 'her in doors'?http://www.oople.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif

Just added an interview with the trophy girls to the day4 page! :thumbsup:

just putting together Northys interview with Sloppy - but I'm not entirely sure I can post it! :o

Yeah we need it. Keep it as he said it.

I just sorted photos from the weekend - up now,

http://www.northernracer.com/NEO

If ever there was an incentive to become a shit hot driver, those 3 girls have to be close to the top of the list.

Agree with Stu. Slop's interview is bound to be hilarious!

AWESOME photos stu, from comedy to awesome low down buggy shots. if you aren't laying in the dirt then you aren't getting the photos.

G, do you think the beard increased performance?


Did it catch on the mask you were wearing, like facial velcro:confused:

Well, I daren't shave it off incase my driving went to shit (I was actually driving well - well I thought so!).

It did help keep my face warm though :lol::lol:

It's gone now though :cry:

G

I noticed!!

You and jim are usually pretty well matched, but with your impersonation of teen wolf you went to another level.

Good Man:thumbsup:

Lee, don't tell the 8th lads, but it's easy compared to 10th, it's like in slow motion! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

That is obviously a joke ;)

G

I know exactly what you mean:thumbsup::lol:

Cool, now the big boys are at it, using Jimmy's pictures without asking:

http://www.losi.com/RaceCenter/News_Results.aspx


Funny it says he was using the Losi fuel, I saw someone run to the van to get that - oh and the Losi tyres to replace the Prolines :lol::lol::lol:

G

Ha ha, i wonder what they were actually using fuel wise:confused:


On the same page, do you think Tebo looks like a flanders kid??:confused:

That gay news site also ripped days 3 & 4. :thumbdown:

G

has anyone seen this baby

:o

What you doing lee! They 'borrowed' my entire neo08 report for their news site - don't give them free advertising as well! :lol:


Northy - what I saw looks totally fine with the day 3&4 thing.. I'm happy for them and any news site to put a small bit of the report with a link to the full thing... but it was the other stuff with the whole report and NO link that was totally wrong.

Ooopps, just noticed that about days 3 & 4.

But I'd still urge people not to buy from them, or better still email saying you would have done if they hadn't ripped off content from your mates website :thumbsup:

G

im not going to buy anything from them, i was just browsing for engines and saw that one, what is so special about it
:confused:

looks sexy!!

Its an on road engine:thumbdown::thumbdown::cry::bored:

Comments do appear at bottom of the page, day 2 comments & day 3/4, maybe that will prompt em to ask first or a nice linky..........or provide kits/parts for review !!! that would be nice

was everyone running the full 10 min quallys on one tank or were most having to stop?

I did 13 minutes on a tank in round 1 Chris, and still had some left!

A lot were doing the full 10 mins.

G

for some reason Stu ran out of fuel on 8.5 mins in his final - which was gutting as we had to run back to the pits with it and he went down from about 5th or 6th to 11th

that was one of the main reasons I didn't try and make it.

I had absolutely no idea how long I could do on a tank and I thought you would have had to do the full 10 min on one tank to stand a chance.

with my ace 2nd hand engine and mad tuning skillz I was struggling to make 5 minutes last time. So 10 might have been pushing it a lil
