Came home to Newcastle, UK for Christmas and brought a couple of cars with me. I miss racing so much so had to - much to the dismay of Mrs. Danb4.
So I built a Yokomo Works 91 and also packed the 4wd RC10 original Worlds/Team Car in my hand luggage and flew 3800 miles on the 18th Dec.
I raced at Benfield on the 19th and Seaham on the 21st....such fun! Wish I could race every week.
The Works 91 was really great and I actually lead the A final for a while from 5th qualifying spot on the grid - several silly mistakes on the last laps and I finished 3rd overall....not bad for a 24ish year old car with no slipper clutch....my competitors were all 2014 spec X-rays/ae/Durangos so I was happy. The '91 ran an 8.5 motor with LiPo saddles and original kit Yokomo shocks. It's the green Masami style shell with clear wing.

I just had to try the 4wd RC10 too - the transmission held up great but the handling needs work - a short clip of it in action - a guy at the start of the heat picked it up wondering why there was a supposed '2wd' in the 4wd class.....made me smile.
Merry Christmas to all of you.
