Default Stu Wood wins the Bury Metro North West regional

I thought Stu Wood deserved a mention here for winning the North West regional this weekend just gone, using the RB5.
We'll have a report up soon from Stu on how the day went, but early on Stu was frustrated at his first big meeting with the RB5 at his home track. Things got better through the day however and with some setup changes Stu was able to get the car working well around the tricky Bury track. After a long battle with Danny McGee, they both passed early leader Damian Whittle.

Danny McGee kept pushing his Losi XXXCR hard but wasn't able to make a pass on Stu - missing out on the loop by fractions of a second to allow Stu a lap of honor on his own and an easy victory.
This win places Stu at the top of the North West 2WD regional series after 2 rounds, with his second place finish in the first round at southport (detailed in the RB5 review on oOple.com).

Stu was using the hopup front alloy axles, and optional rear 'proline' axles, which allow Stu to use the same rear wheels as his Tamiya 501X (same as the rc10b4).

Stus report and setup from Bury will be up soon, thanks for your patience.

After tanking round for a rare 12 lapper in R4 I thought I might just be able to mix it up in the final, alas a snapped ariel put paid to that and I glitched round to a lonely 6th.

Credit to Woody, McGee, Damo and Spenny for putting on a good show though, especially Woody for the win.

Looking at my marshalling form in the first pic it seems the Urban Sprint training is paying off!
