A couple of extra photos from the review in RACER Magazine ( http://www.rcracer.com/ ) are up here:

We put a load of time into getting the photos and it was a great laugh.

Racer don't usually mention who reviews a car, I don't think they mention a price either.

Starter box, sounds a bit spenny, how much are they ?
I won a modelsport competition, so its not really cost me anything and enables me to get running again.

going for 30k centre and front and 5k rear.. thats what jb suggested. I might "thin out" the front if its a bit stiff, but the centre I want some heavy madness in to make the thing move.

Getting woodys dad to make me a rear brace for it also all being well.

Super review Jimmy, can't believe you didn't get an oOple sticker or any mention at all. You working fulltime for Racer now then? Oh also you're one of the 'Driver Profile' people from Batley huh, so famous

Nah bathy not working for Racer, we just have a friendly relationship. It was a good laugh tho to review something a bit different, and a blast to drive.

I know, check that driver profile out haha, I look like a nutter - but the photo is from the Euros and the sun was in mi eyes- honest.
