Default Me TQ never

Dan,

I have only ever tqd one event, and Craig and Dave had to help me off the rostrum as i was almost having a fit.

I have won events mostly from 7th and 10th position, and my B2 setup worked for me as i tried hard to get it to handle like a 4wd in and out of corners. It was twitch city, besides the last time i raced 2wd, even Craig said it was on the edge, (not bad considering i was a lap down on the 2nd lap) but i won and that annoyed Nickys dad as he had to give me the trophy hehehehe. That setup got me 11th in the indoor regional finals as well. Heck im not much of a fan of 2wd but the B2 suited my driving style well.

Mmm I used the Losi inserts roughly one year ago and they were new. Well I guess a lot has changed, but heck at least I wont dump any more hehehe as the cells are much better. Im not betting with Dave anymore with 1400scrs hehehe. Im just here to have fun and see if i can still do it indoors with an old pile of junk. Im not so bothered about the nationals as i did five years of it in 2wd and 4wd.

I prefer carpet racing so i dont have to clean the car and at least i wont get wet. Maybe a few regionals outside if the weather is nice. Racing isnt as fun to me as it used to be.

Also what motors can you recommend now that would be able to handle being overgeared and still have plenty of torque?

Millzy - I rekon i would get lapped easily by everyone, but at least I wont get angry or throw my car across the pit area anymore. Ive mellowed big time. I just need to get away from work and relax and enjoy myself a bit. 7 years away from it im gonna be terrible on the track. Itll be fun tho.

The Last time Belsten raced he beat the third in europe racer (unsure who it was) at tiverton. Anyway he lost his license for 3 years and thats what stopped him. He now has got a tamiya and he still has Justin doing all the work. He has built a track behind his house and is pretty good. It took a while to get the material (plastic grass or whatever its called) up there but he has somewhere to practice. He may decide to come back into it, you never know. At least I can go there and have a blat when I can get away from London.
