I think it was Dave Duggan with schumacher who made 7th, I made 5th with a front wheel drive as the belt snapped (I only broke 2 and one was there). I used 1400 scrs for a bet for a season but still gave Mr Harris and Mr Belsten a good run for their money in the indoor series. (I even beat Jon Leonard at one of them which was rather funny considering he was rated 3rd in Europe)
I love the Lazer big time as it can take so much punishment, but I need a change and the Tamiya looks appeal to me. Yes its not perfectly balanced but I am game for a new challenge. Now I have a cupboard full of new Kyosho spares that I no longer need and a couple of new lazer Prototypes as well. Im tempted to swop all for the new Tekin esc and a brushless motor.
I like the fact that now I dont have to worry about the motor ever getting too hot as the motor is surrounded by metal. Also its a much better design if you compare it to the Yokomo. The only let down are the shocks, which have been binned and i am not keen on the one way but am currently working on a 16t one way for the layshaft. I also like the fact that the car still isnt perfect and needs a bit of work to get it to run perfectly. Its not going to be boring, and itll keep me busy.

Clearly is the best car ever and never needed any replacement parts, maybe combined with some mighty 1200's and a crazy gear ratio you could go back to the good ole days of coming 7th at the indoor nationals  |
