Today was an amazing day.. My newbie pal, Geraint, and I headed to Newbury for a charity day at Newbury RCCC, supporting local charities and a Classic Car Show. Loads and loads of spectators, kids specific race where they could turn up and drive TC's, GT12's and even a GT10!
The galleries as you will see from my picture were three and five deep at times, nothing short of a flying success, for RC and GT12 alike. Huge congrats has to go to Kevin and his team at Newbury RCCC for putting on this day, never been to Newbury RCCC before, can definitely say we'll be going back and they certainly welcome two newbies with open arms!
The Zen was a huge success for me personally, with almost twenty drivers, A,B and C finals, I manage to scrape into the A final for the first time with this amount of drivers. A GT12 team driver was there and I manage to get within half a second of his best time which I am extremely proud of after only four months of driving.
My new transmitter, Futaba T4GRS supplied by Mike Manning at YMCRacing who incidentally gave me great service, cheaper than mainstream sites and service to match! I digress, back to it, the controller from my Core was so sharp, responsive and made the Zen sing even further with the various settings it has to offer. If you are looking for a stick upgrade from a Core I would very much recommend the Futaba T4GRS.
I'll definitely be investing in a motor fan, the D4 dan a little hot and I hear the motor fans can reduce 20-30 degrees in temp which would be useful, anyone use one of these, would be grateful of any feedback or advice!
It has never been more present the future for me is on driver improvements. With hand on heart I have a car that allows me to concentrate on this huge area, and this area only, for now 😉. Definitely feel content with all my equipment, thanks to the Zen. Of course, for me.

Have a good evening all.
