Thanks, this did dawn on me when thinking about it afterwards

Have you had a chance to try these in a race, Jimmy? If so, what are your thoughts?


I've just come back from my second meeting with the car and I'm happier still! I'm not knocking the Predator (horses for courses and all that), but I never really got on with mine and, for me at least, the Tamiya is a huge improvement: it's more forgiving, consistent, just downright quicker!

Hopefully a matching 2wd will follow soon.......
