Stu Wood - National A final for Team oOple

[jimmy]

Stu Wood / Team oOple, put in a stellar performance at the weekend to put his Tamiya 501X in the A final at the BRCA National at Bury Metro. This is the first time a Tamiya has been seen in a UK National A final for many years - and was one of only three Tamiya 501X cars in attendance out of 120 drivers.

Despite some problems Stu managed a best qualifier of 3rd in round, and qualified 10th overall, finishing 7th after the three legged finals. Stu was the only independently sponsored driver in the A final.

Stu Wood Also made the A final with his newly dialled Kyosho Ultima RB5. The Kyosho Ultima is a new 2WD on the scene and Stu took on the oOple review car as a challenge for himself, to get the car to the top level - and that's exactly what Stu did - Qualifying 7th out of 130 of the UKs best drivers.

Using Atomic Carbon specially developed 4mm carbon fibre shock towers which allow the shocks more adjustments (which were used) and 'Woodys Wiz Bits' brass front bulkhead - Stu went on to develop a setup that finally felt 'right', and could compete with the very best.

Thanks must go to TheRacePlace.co.uk - for supplying the Kyosho initially for review, and supporting us with some parts to enable us to review and race this car at the top level.

Now the car has a good base setup we hope to see even more people take an interest in the car - as it was the ONLY Kyosho at the race meeting.
