2008 Worlds - Predictons?
 
Who will do it in 2008? Car/Driver? Looks wide open right now, although they reckon the track is quite European style.. So it may not be another Pavidis job..

1/8th off-road, does anyone here even care?!! :lol:

cragg.......:yawn:

niggs98 08-09-2008 04:56 PM

as much as i hate to say it
has got to be drake. the man is on fire at the mo.
craggy will give him a damn good run for his money tho. then there are the obvious other gonna be close if they have the luck people like aigon,battle,tebo, caveleri, tortoricci, vega, savouy and hazlewood.

will be good to watch either way

James 08-09-2008 05:06 PM

What about Taylor James !? He won the warmup and TQ'd the Neo...

Which Brits are going?

I'll check the entry list...

Although it could be anyones, I would probably say my money is on Guillaume Vray, previous winner, podium last Worlds and he is driving the Mugen which I think has got to be one of the favourite chassis along with the RC8 (if it holds together), Kyosho and Losi.

Drake and James are on fire though I agree, and then you have Pavidis.. no, I'll say it again, it's wide open!! It's gonna be great to watch :thumbsup: (online) :blush:

ben

jimmy 08-09-2008 07:57 PM

He didn't qualify I don't think? He's one of the fastest guys around so it's a shame. My money is on butch! :thumbsup:

tjpMT2 08-09-2008 09:04 PM

Taylor for the win :thumbsup: New Hong Nor seems like its pretty fast but Drake/Truhe could win though if these new Losi bits are as good as Losi are hoping, or it could by a Kyosho again with the new MP9 go Cody King! Or will Kortz keep his car together? Alsop did pretty well at Slough against the US people although Slough is his home track...

Have people forgot about Truhe :o

I would love to see a brit win it and spank them on home turf although it is unlikely :(

Chris Doughty 09-09-2008 11:19 AM

Go Hupo! (if he is racing)

EDIT - did anyone else see that random log section?? I thought american tracks didn't have crap like that in them??

Yardeeee 09-09-2008 12:59 PM

Travis Amezcua... when the ROAR nats were held on that track a few years ago he TQed every single round- ok he lost the final, but winning every round is still a record at that event I think. OK yes he was racing for Losi, but now he's rockin' a HOTTTT BODDDDDDDDDIIIIIEEEEESSS! I tip him to do well... but the winner will be him, Drake or Maifield.

That log section cheapens the whole thing for me, it screams toy car obsticle race. If they really want randum car reactions why not plant a few landmines on the straights...

exactly!!!

BRS 09-09-2008 01:47 PM

Haha dont get me started Mr Doughty.... people who put stuff like that in tracks surely can not have been a decent racer or a racer at all??

What was that other US race few months back with the blue astro sections with star shaped pipes underneath it :thumbdown:

I saw that as well, I believe I think along the same lines as yourself then, jumps and whoops are fine, random obsticles are NOT fine..

anyway, like you said, thats probably for another topic...

go LRP!
