The belt probably broke on the last lap or the servo horn stripped. The usual things that go wrong with the XX4.

Them things only happen if you dont look after your car most people look after there cars so they have no such problems. And i didnt see any s4's in the top 4

Wrong again.
They go when you are driving fast and everything is under strain, and usually on your best run of the day about 4 1/2 minutes in, LOL.

What is this, 'my cars better than yours' ??

Matt Dodd took TQ with the S4 btw.

Adam cruised the final, tom Cockerill was all over him but couldn't keep his car on 4 wheels.

sssshhhh jimmy sssshhhhh

Where's my pictures????

[telboy]

I thought Adam took TQ?

Somehow I managed to finish 4th in the A with my trusty RB5 (which is now for sale if anyone is interested)

The track was a bit simple but the little carpetted bit onto the straight was slightly tricky to get right. Stil don't know why they didn't just set out a normal track and just take the jumps in and out for the buggies...might have been a bit more technical. but hey, its done now.

the 4wd A was good to watch, Tom deffo ad the legs on Skelding but didn't quite have the handling or the luck.


Camera's. yeah, I've had that problem before with them saying it causes interference. It never has though.

May be Ash but one did win 2 of the 3 rounds it finished due to speedo problems!

So that would be 1 set of gears to 0 belts last time we raced. Neither are bulletproof but both are reliable when setup correctly.

I have nothing against the S4 your absolutly ballisitic with yours im just against people like ben who say things such as he does against a car that was designed for nicads and slow motors and is still winning in a world of much younger cars. The only thing i dont like about the s4 is the price its sorta over the top IMO if it would have been cheap i may have got one instead of my xx4 who knows.

I didnt see any belts or gears go today! It was quite a hard day on cars though, Hey Chris

[andy reeves]

Yea I didn't see any belts or gears go either. I did see quite a few other pices brake tho Well I learnt yesterday how far i have to push the car to be up with the top guy's. I am happy i can run with them i just need to cut the silly mistakes out now and also some new batteries as mine are about 4 seasons old.

Why did I have number 1 on my car then Jimmy. You took enough photos!!!

[jimmy]

Sorry! haha
The print out I have said matt dodd took two wins and you took two wins - giving you even points and he was on top. I was too busy racing and then marshalling your race to pay enough attention obviously

Shouldn't go crashing in to it all the time then Jimmy hehe It was a bit close esp if you ended up poping the front wheels after the jmp.

[jimmy]

I need a slipper! I'm used to driving with a loose slipper to calm me down, with with a 14x2 in there it was a bit eager to lift those wheels
I enjoyed it tho. And well done to Vicky on her first win!
