oOple 501X long term review.

[jimmy]

I had a top driver lined up to race the oOple 501X review car, but they had to pull out. The idea really was to make interesting reading, help with setups, write some words on its performance at (uk) Nationals etc. Sort of an on-going long term review from my angle, or a sponsored 4wd drive from another.

I did try hard to find someone of an equally good level to race the car under the oOple banner, but couldn't.

If anyone fits the bill however - racing at UK nationals, of a GOOD level but without a current 4WD sponsor-drive, able to write some semi-coherent words on its performance and provide setups and know what they're doing. Also be must be friendly and well respected (!) then give me a shout!

PM me or email me 'jimmy' (@ this domain) - with some stuff about you.
Really this is for GOOD drivers who can help other 501X drivers and make interesting reading. I'll give it a couple of days and see what interest there is in this (awesome) deal - And then probably announce that vicky will be racing it - guffaw.


The car has a bunch of spares already and ofcourse I intended to get a more & shells, wheels etc.. In terms of other stuff, all I can offer is extreme exposure (your sponsors will like that), custom teamwear with your other sponsors on, stickers - etc..

whats happend to the stig@oople did he get a drive??

[Elliott Hopkins]

So what are you going to run in 4WD Jimmy?

[jimmy]

Not sure Elliott, this isn't like me selling the car - this would be me still involved and putting together articles on the car and helping all the 501X drivers out (or thats the idea).
For me, I have a lot of cool cars already, but also I have to spend a lot of time reviewing cool cars and don't have the time to devote to the 501X. The best I can do for the car is let someone else do well with it.

Needless to say, Tamiya have nothing to do with this

[Elliott Hopkins]

So are you suggesting Tamiya UK are a bunch of numptys?

Thanks for those who already expressed an interest but the stig is back!
Stuart Wood is signed up to drive the oOple-TRF501X during this season in 4WD. Expect great things.
If you don't know Stu, then wait for the press release and driver interviews of Stu and the other core team members for 2007.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO>
What a feeling this is! WOW.

[jimmy]

Stuart has been secretly testing the 501X indoors and out over the last couple of weeks - with great results. Those who have seen him driving the 501X know the amazing speed and consistency Stu possesses, combined with the handling and durability of the 501X, will make any top team shake in their boots.

"Woody was just TOO fast today, If it goes like that at the National, I predict a top 3 spot , it really was that good ."


"Woody and that Tamiya were rapid. The car just flew round the Bury track ignoring any bumps and jumps. "
