Im going to open myself up here properly, but im the type of person that loves to try all the cars out, i enjoy the building and putting a setup on, im just a very average driver so i guess my points are all based on an easy to drive car that may not be the fastest over a single lap but over 5 minutes its ok. Just as an aside i do a huge amount of set up work for a Euro F3 team so i have a rough idea on what setups do before anyone says i dont know what im doing.

The cars are in the order i got them from restarting racing 2ish years ago.

Started back racing with a Cougar SV, lovely car to drive, a bit fragile at the front, re engineered it to B4 bits and it was a great car.

Losi 22 - Very strong could not stop it oversteering, i really struggled with this car.

X6, Loved it, should not of got rid of it, not the fastest car ever but predictable and consistent.

DEX210, the built and set up dream, there was a setup for anyone from the kit. Sold it as i had one of the first and as an average club driver i broke it regularly and could not get spares.

Converted the X6 into a C4.1, very very fast car, not to bad to set up, chassis bent indoors but that was my fault for crashing it not the car. I decided i was not good enough for the car.

Cougar SV2, full circle, love this car, although it has now turned into an engineering challenge as to get a set up i like it is not really an sv2 any more!!! very happy but still not as quick as the c4.1 aover a single lap but for me i will stick with it untill the next car comes along.

As an engineer i would love a vega but we are in the middle of the Euro F3 championship so along with real work not got enough time.

I will still keep trying cars out whatever people say thats the best part of the hobby.

Hope this gives some insight into my rc life, all cars are good for some people its their driving ability and set up ability that swings one way or another fo rthem.

Bring on the kicking!!!

Cheers

Rich
