losi´s brusless system 4.5turns and a lipo 7.4v, almost too much power for a 4wd, and uncontrollable in a 2wd.

Trelleborg - Sweden - is that the same place as 2000 euro's? I raced there! it looks vaguely familar...

thats right Chris, they closed shortly after the euros and 1/10th offraod pretty much died in sweden, but last year i picked up racing again and called to Kai, the race organizer at the euros and he said they just finished rebuilding the track, when i saw the track the week after it was exactly the euros track in perfect condition.. great memories, my first big race.

Now they have extended it as you saw in the vid, and they still have a lot to go. great layout though.

excellent!! would love to see pictures from back in the day in 2000...

I remember oh so well being stuck on my lid for 15 seconds watching everyone go past me in leg 3

hehe were you running the xx4 at that euros? i remeber that niel was running the predator.. and jukkas driving, one of the few, if not the only one that pulled a wheelie in 4wd on the end of the straight. teemu hitting the time keeping "bridge" in 2wd. i´ll see what pictures i can get hold of

[Chris Doughty]

xx4 in 4WD and xxx in 2WD. Yukka was SO fast in 4WD it was untrue, but compare that to todays speeds and that would be nothing

that was my first ever Euros, such a great experience...

we seem to have gone off-topic a little, but I think the guy should have his answer from previous posts

just a bit ot , on that video, the car is absolutely straight from the box. i was a bit sceptical against kyosho, thougt it would be "sluggish" thanks to the chassie and i had done 2laps with the car prior too filming that vid.. the car was brand new and we put the electrics in "on track".

but it was supprisingly fast, realy fast in changeing direction and pretty stable rear.. easy to drive.. even when driving at 130%
