First time out with the D4
 

I thought I would share our first impression with our new car with you.

Last weekend at Talywain, Greg (my son) ran a Hot Bodies Worlds Edition D4 for the first time, a bit daunting running a new car at a National, but this is a brief description of how we got on.
We got the car last Wednesday giving me two nights to build it before setting off on Friday for Welsh Wales. All I can say is that the car is very very impressive, the first time it was run (apart from a quick blast on the field on Saturday night) was on the Sunday. Greg qualified 8th in the E final (his best ever qualifying at a national) & was lying a strong fourth until another car accidentally landed on top of him damaging his front shocker, still ran round carefully to finish 9th.

Overall first impression is that the car was a very well made piece of kit, easy to build & went around the track really well, especially for the first time out. We built & ran the car exactly as the kit set up apart from 40wt oil in the front shockers.
When i asked Greg what he thought of the car he said one word "Awesome".

I would highly recommend this car to anyone as a top car straight out of the box.

Big thanks to Adam & Lindsay Skelding for there help & advice over the weekend, much appreciated.

Good to head Greg got on with it Barry - I saw him struggling a bit with the XX4 so good to see he's got a modern machine now! :thumbsup:

Shell looked ACE too :thumbsup:

thought it was lapping a bit quick to be G driving!! :-)

Congrats to Gregg, looked a lot happier than the last national.

Just wait for the 2wd!:thumbsup:

Bet he's looking forward to the next one now.


Shame I couldn't have done better really. lol. I was well ashamed of my performance. Car was great, driver had melt down in ability I think.:lol:

OWWWWW :lol:

True though :p

Cool... I never knew you guys had come on board... potentially the best up and coming racer in the UK and he's using a D4, nice 1!

If you need any additional advice or whatever give us a shout, although if Adam has your back then you're in good hands.

Well done on your first run out and I wish you well for future races.
