Who would you say is the best all round RC racer in the world?
 
Doughty's video of Hara at the Jap Nats got me thinking....hes good with an 8th buggy, 8th truggy, 10th snorer, 12th and 10th offroaders...

But who would you say was the best all round racer in the world? And in the UK?

:confused:

Ash - 10th 4WD, 10th 2WD
Drescher - 10th 2WD, 10th 4WD, 8th RX, 10th TC (anything else?)
Spashett - 12th, 10th TC, 8th truggy (no idea on the rest)

And for the record, my vote does go with Hara.

Whilst Spash is undoubtedly one of the best there has ever been, he's not an all-rounder at World level.
There are only 3 that would spring to mind:
Masami
Hara
Drescher

Unfortunately Craig has never won a World title, where-as the other 2 have in both off-road and on-road...

They don't have as many European Titles as he has though....:)

never seen him do 8th but the obvious one for me is masami, countless world titles in on and offroad as well as nationals etc, and even after 20+ years can still make worlds a finals and is always a challenge for the win no matter where or when

KRob - 10th TC, 12th, 8th RX, 8th Truggy, 18th offroad, 10th 2WD, 10th 4WD

;) :D

Masami, is a legend and PW (P Dub to his mates) has some good stories about masami and his preparation and focus he has. It will take a lot to beat him. I think in the uk we have some of the brightest talent, if you look at bloomers, nobody is faster on a single lap than him, but he can be inconsistent. Then we have Cragg, when you watch him, he has a certain flair to his driving that makes it look cool as he backs the car in or lets it "hang" in the air. If we had more clay tracks in the UK we might have more world champs in the UK :confused:

Oh, that's me out then...I don't actually have a Truggy...:p

Joel Johnson was pretty good too - he's got World titles in Off-road and on-road...

stegger 03-11-2008 11:34 AM
