Team Hopeless Testing Day
 
Just got back from our little test session at Goshen. Conditions were perfect:
http://www.simondavanzo.pwp.blueyond...1262448589.jpg
We cleared the snow a bit and ran anyway.

Johnny killed 2 servos (Stinger and BMaxx) but that was the only car damage. Rob was running his old Lazer, drives ok but the radio has a 3 feet range so you have to run behind it.
Mark's X6 might handle like a 4wd but it still gets stuck like a 2wd!
The Soda truck went well but the batteries didn't last long in the cold. The D4 was awesome though - really planted thanks to some new yellow minispikes.

Got lots of pics on Johnny's camera if he can upload them

Is that my old x6?

Si Coe 02-01-2010 08:03 PM

Did you sell it to Chris Ridgeway? If so then yes. You probably owned the D4 as well (used to be green), seems like everyone else has......

Kopite 02-01-2010 08:12 PM

Yeah, that's my old x6 (The d4 wasn't mine though). Glad it's getting some proper abuse!

Fair do's guys, that's some serious commitment there. :thumbsup:

electrics and snow dont seem to mix well. 2 x servos one bluebird one hitec . and also 2 x speed controllers . one stinger and possibly the exceed to . might dry out yet. exceed didnt even get wet. think the colds got it. but awesome fun. i think a slash ( fully waterproof) and paddle tyres would rock goshen right now .we did a good job today any how.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

here is si,s action shot.:woot:
