fabix 2000

[mr emily]

Hello

Does anyone have any information on a Fabix 2000. I know that it is a conversion of a cougar 2000 and have seen some photographs of one. Did it go well? There are two chassis available, long and short, Which to use?

i have one, good little car to drive, i find it really easy to drive and great fun, good handling but watch it if you nail the throttle a little hard, if the grips not there you'll be spinning in circles, if there is grip however, you'll be steaming round the track. ran mine on a 13 douible, only car i have used on tarmac that would make the tyres squeal!! mine is very short so i would guess it is the shorter version of the car.

Sorry to say it but the car was just the same as the batteries he sold. Rubbish. The best result i managed was 57th at the southport grand prix with the prototype and that had quite a few of the best racers attend from the worlds so was a national in a way. The car was horrible and thats even with craig harris setup and he certainly knows how to set a 2wd up for grass.

agree totally on the batteries, they were pants, a couple of other people drove my fab2000, including craig, 4wd drivers hated it 2wd drivers liked it.

Craig didnt like it either, and as you know he is an exceptional 2wd racer. The batts were pants but you could still get the results if you kept it on full power and didnt crash. This buggy just wasnt right, but then a again what do you expect from a one man industry, hardly any development happened and that shows.

great comments, just need to get craig to give his two penny worth!!

man... I saved my paper round and milk round money (that's right kids, between age 13-15 I used to get up at four, do a two hour milk round, then an hour long paper round, then go to school!) for four sets of those fabiix cells. then I managed to persuade my step dad to drive me to blackwood to pick them up.

no discount on four sets!

unfortunately, a few weeks later, I had a bit of a 'blow up' and destroyed the cells; I only had a mains charger, so I needed to charge up all the cells before leaving the house. I could walk to the club venue, so I packed the cells into my toolbox... with a steel hacksaw resting on top.

you can guess what happened at the first kerb...

cjm_2008 - who are you?

You must know me as I went to Oakdale, Abergavenny, Cobra and the other Cardiff Club, as well as Newport and Caerwent.

Actually that rings a bell about the cells. Gutted.
