A couple of things to add to the 501X review such as gear chart (thanks to mike west), oneway mini review, wear and tear stripdown write up.

Really nice reviews Jimmy, nice to see you enjoying the benefits of Lipo where you can and the 501 looks mouthwatering.

It's funny really, the best and most professional reviews of RC cars is from a free website, by a guy with out the backing of a publishing house or a manufacturer.

Would it be to crass to say, keep up the good work?

Cheers,

Mat

That's a first class 501x review Jimmy. I read every word and studied every picture.

And now I may dabble in a bit of eBay, y'know, just to check the prices.

The best review's on the internet, i cannot say more than that, i always look forward to reading them.

So when you doing the review on the RC10 Graphite Jimmy, been searching on ebay for one of them for a while. Would be cool to see a RC10 Graphite / Gold Tub v B4 review ? what has changed over the years say from the gold tub 6 gear to the current B4.

Thanks guys!

I actually just noticed (!!!) that I missed out a lot - so I have added it now.. I missed the wheel / wheel fitment (now on page 6)

And I some how missed the entire electrics install - now on page 7.. :p

Your reviews are AWSOME (Americanism) Jimmy, the best I've ever seen eh! (Canadianism)

A feast for the mind and eyes of the reader as always Jimmy.

Great stuff :cool:.

Just finished the 501x review.

As always Jimmy a fantastic effort!

Cool review Jim. It sounds like you enjoy running it also? Just a quick one, have you told everybody that you built it wrong?:p

jimmy 24-01-2007 09:48 AM

hahaha
which of the many wrongs is that ? :D

I put the front diff in the wrong way around when I reinstalled it after breaking the spur at batley.. Thankfully someone noticed and told me before I raced it at York this weekend. :eh?:

You did practise with it like that:D .

jimmy 24-01-2007 10:34 AM

yeah I did run it like that in practice, true! lol

Jimmy as always, brilliant.

The main problem I have with your reviews, especially this Tamiya one, is after reading it, I want to buy one !

I'll have to refrain this time, you should be on some kind of comission, I reckon sales will soar after people see this, as they did with the ZX-5 !

I also agree. The only thing is I dont think they could afford him. For the work he does. Love his work.

Just stunning, the pix, the artwork, the review itself ...
just stunning ... :o:):cool:

kfcaddict 24-01-2007 07:40 PM

Well I very nearly bought the 501X and after reading that, I guess I should of waited for it, but I'll be happy with my ZX-5. Nice review, as always.

neiloliver 24-01-2007 09:37 PM

A amazing job Jimmy. Thanks for the credits also. How things have progressed since the Hotshot II !
