oople car reviews
 
will there be any more oople car and running gear reviews or any updates as i enjoyed reading them with good tips and advice
written in a clear and not confusing way
but they do need up dating or adding to.

jimmy is away at the min but im sure when he gets home he will have more time on his hands so think there will be more reviews:thumbsup:

Don't think they'll be any car reviews as the are reports take up so much time and I'm sure we'd all prefer those to another review, buy a magazine :p

footey 09-12-2012 04:44 PM

ummmmmmm well im sure there will be some reviews as well as the awsome reports jimmy and vicky do

jimmy 09-12-2012 06:42 PM

Reviews are coming back. I am not sure how much to say just yet but I'm working hard on my computer room / review room at the moment, and will be doing lots of reviews in the coming months. Lots. I only just got back from Australia and my room needs some love to make it perfect.:thumbsup:

Awesome, easily some of the best RC reviews I have come across.
Please do one on the Cat K1, pure RC porn :)

It's been hard for the past 2 years - work has been a big part of my life and oople has had to take a back seat. Now it's at the forefront, and I will do whatever freelance work I can, to help pay the bills.
K1 looks awesome, it will be reviewed on oople I promise

I've built a few for woOdy over the years and the K1 is up there, it's a an ace build.

It didn't look too shabby on the track at Silverstone yesterday either, be interested to see how the XB4 measures up against it at this Tuesdays club meeting. :thumbsup:

Note to all manufacturers, send Jimmy free cars for review! :thumbsup:

So Jimmy, how about having one or two other people doing reviews (as well)? :eh?: That way you could 1. have the car tested and reviewed by several people and 2. if one person doesn't have the time, the other few can still make a review for it :)

Though I guess there is one good reason not to do that: it is the perfect opportunity to get those cars and try them yourself :thumbsup: The dream of many racers I think!

how about this

buy the kit, do the review, send to jimmy, jimmy uses the best......
only two problems,
1/ it wont be in the style unique to jimmy
2/ not many companies give out kits for reviews, so need buying, some need returning etc

neallewis 10-12-2012 01:27 AM

Anyone could buy some stuff and do a detailed review or mini/photo review for that matter. Could be kits, upgrade parts, anything new to them. might help other people thinking of buying that same stuff. It's good to see what you get for your money. I doesn't even have to be a bring new bit of kit.
Other sites doing it, alone with video or photo un-boxings.

Could be more racer specific, as RC magazine reviews tend to be RTR's or stuff the disties have sent to try to sell, rather than the latest and greatest niche racer product.
