2013 IFMAR 1/10th Off-Road Worlds 22-29 Sept, Chico, California
 

Good luck to all our UK drivers heading out there this week !

IFMAR's own website links the official page to here - http://www.amainhobbies.com/iFMAR2013/

So I imagine there'll be live timing on there.


Who are your bets on?

Maybe this year it's going to be less of who and more a question of with what?

C4.2?, Mid Losi? X-ray 2wd? Be very interesting if the Yanks go for mid motored cars.

Good luck guys.

Ty Tessman is looking good, also Maifield. Hard to rule out Jorn though.

Good luck to Neil, Lee and all UK entrants.

My money would be on any of these
Lee, Neil, Cav or Maifield

Cav has to be the favourite but hoping Neil does the business.

At the US Nationals held at the same venue it was the REAR motor losi that took the spoils on the sugared track.

My money is still on a Maifield, Cav or Cragg to win!

Jared Tebo for the win in 4wd.

Is there a list of our UK drivers competing James? I know Ben is off as I spoke to him about it at the weekend but wondered who else to look out for. I'll look forward to catching the liverc coverage when I can. Is anyone from the UK doing reports?

I'll look forward to catching the liverc coverage when I can.

Where can you get live rc... Neal?

LiveRC will be your best bet for up to date coverage I reckon.

I think the Brits who are going are:

Cragg
Bloomfield
Martin
Stanton
Jemison
Moss
Yardy
Cockerill
Boots

Cheers had a look :thumbsup: never knew about that...

Hmm boots, could be a wild card particularly in 4wd

Tesseman ( if that's how you spell it) will be in the mix for sure.
Roll on the uk boys, let's have another world champ here:thumbsup:
Good luck all

Naoto for TQ in 4wd. Doubt he will win but he'll be quick in qualifying.

Stanton for the win :thumbsup:

If there arent any jumps :D

Has he left Kyosho?

You beat me to it Bav!!! Come on STANTON :thumbsup:

Great, nice to see I will be on the same timezone so won't have to stop up late :)

Hey! You can follow our live coverage of the worlds on our fb page!

I guarantee Elliott boots will have the quickest lap there out of anybody, if he could do it without mistakes he would be a good bet, I think the yanks are far too practiced on clay for anybody to be contending the championship. Good luck to all of the UK guys....there's not a bad driver amongst them on that list!

Stants not going:thumbdown:
Hope I can get my 100 grand wager on him winning back!! :woot:

1 Tessmann
2 Cavalieri
3 Neumann
Mod 2WD Buggy
1 Cragg
2 Evans
3 Matsukura

Looks a bit moist on t-minus one day to go.. Its so hot there when the sun shines I'm sure they'll be ok though!

LiveRC coverage of the opening ceremony starts at midnight tonight UK time.

Bit more on Neo and a photo of our boys here :)

I still don't get why more dirt tracks don't utilise wimbledon style pull over covers :confused:

Anyone knowing what's going on with Team Durango at the wolds?
I haven't seen any pics of Hupo nor Neumann or their cars respectively...

Hupo and Jörn arrived in SF yesterday, not sure when but it was late evening European time.

A Proud moment for Mike, Carrying the Union Jack and leading team GB out

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That same front seems to be going through the whole country, looking at the weather channel it seems to pick up again behind it.

Interesting following the thread on RCTech, all the Americans discovering there is another R/C world outside their borders, such as shaft drive 2wds.

A couple of great quotes:Apart from their ignorance about what transmitter Hirosaka uses, they are talking about Darren Bloomfield. he seems to be managing fine with sticks.:lol:

And you can add Collari and Spashett to the list of multi world champions who use sticks.

VERY and I stress VERY unofficial word from the event but the track crew thought the track might not be ready again until Friday night :cry:

So no one knows whats going to happen, my best guess would be rescheduling to allow finals to run maybe at the expense of some of the 4wd running?

G

If only it was held on a astro track instead.

Or maybe use some sort of cover like RHR Dirt maybe?

Sounds like we can educate the US on more than drive trains and Stick Tx
