Yes I have enough orders!

Still a couple of kits for grabs, but I don't mind having some unsold kits, I'm sure they'll sell.

Got an email from Phat bodies, and Simon is keen to see his shells on the kits.

Let me know if you're planning on having Phat bodies shells!

Fab

yes please, add one Phat body for me

Hi guys,

Back from the Petit, my what a week end !

Nathan was unlucky in qualifying, as he lost round 3 to a bad setup move, and then round 4 was ruined by bad servo tape, his speedo came off and turned the switch off twice. So he qualified 1st in the C with his round 2 time. Definately had much more pace than that, possibly A final pace, but that's racing.

As for me, I was pole in the D after a bad last round, I lost out on the C for less than 1s, doh! I loved every second of driving the car, with the staggered up front, it was easy to drive, I could push hard and it wouldn't bite. My fastest lap was a 18.43 in the final, with the top guys doing low 18s high 17s, that's not bad going. And also, last year I was in the E, 2 laps down on TQ, this year in the D only just a lap down.

Also, I've made new contacts, and we may have hard anodising after all, also molded gearboxes seem a possibility now. So I'm waiting on feedback on these two details before anything will happen with the car. I'm also going to see with Phat Bodies if it would be possible do have a slighty amended shell, to accomodate the new longer layshaft.

So this means, maybe a little more delays, but it's all for the best guys, don't grow impatient !

Fabs

Fabs - do you have any pics from the weekend? :thumbsup:

There are some on the photo albums of Oople and Petit RC.

Hi guys,

Well this is it, I'm starting the production of the cars this week !

So if I've not contacted you regarding the deposit, please let me know, i'll just have missed you in the 150 PMs of my inbox !

Alternatively if you haven't preordered one but would want one, don't hesitate to PM me, as I can still alter the quantity.

Fab

Here's a teaser of what we're looking at, bearing in mind the anodising's colour may not be quite the same, but a dark grey that's for sure.

Another pic...

I hope Fabs will forgive me for breaking the news ... at this very moment, he is probably still on the way back home to the UK.

Fabs and Nathan Ralls were some of the UK-drivers that came over to Charleroi, Belgium to take part in our Euro Indoor Race (EIR 2010).

They both drove in the "Fabianised" midmotored RB5 ... and Nathan won the event with this prototype!
Nathan showed excellent driving skills, and the car was dialed on the track, just perfect. It was overall clear that no other driver could keep up with Nathan with his Fabianised RB5. At some moments, during Q's, Nathan almost lapped second man, Sebastien Wartelle (which is a local topdriver and who ended on second place 2WD in the EIR-event)

It were fun moments when people came over to inspect "this X6 from the champ", to be astonihed when they learned it was NOT an X6, but a prototype RB5.
Many picures were taken and whenever they become available online, I'll link them here.

Fabs and Nathan, as a proud member of Team Nani'c and Team Domlomp, it was a great pleasure to pit with you guys. It was one of the weekends I will long remember with warm feelings :)

and ... although I am a patient man ... I'm eagerly waiting to find that new mod-kit in my letter-box.
"Unfortunatly", the interest for the car was significant, and Fabs will maybe receive much more orders ... and I might have to wait a bit longer for the kit ... but hey, that car is worth waiting for!!

Fabs,
I think you are gonna like this. Please read untill the end ;)
It is a report I wrote about the EIR-competition.

Thats fantastic Fabs and Nathan. Well done ;-)

Well, if possible I would like to drive the car in our Nationals (BNK= Belgisch Nederlands Kampioenschap).
I am in no way a very good driver (yet) but want to learn a lot in driving these competitions


Fabs, you have PM :)

Thanks Ludo for the great report !

Car was again great today, Q'd 4th finished 3rd at broxtowe indoors :thumbsup:

PS: What PM ?

didn't you receive a Personal message from me?

Yes I did but only a few hours later !

Car went great again on sunday for my last meeting in the UK (at least for a while). Q'd 4th finished 3rd, unfortunately I wasn't able to challenge Hulk for the win as I was hit from behind after a few corners and restarted 2nd to last (good sportsmanship from Eugene who let me off in front of him) and had to make up places. The car most certainly had the pace to challenge Craig, and was probably the only one who could have.

Right guys,

I've finally got a price for anodising (unfortunately that price didn't include the blasting, so I'm still holding on for that). It's looking more like £220 than 200. Unless I can make a bigger batch that is.

Fab

ouch :(

What was your fastest lap fab? lol

Angry laps don't count rob...:p

pmsl wonder where you got that from :D

:D

And besides, I still beat him...
