    Round 1 Match 2

    Grasshopper vs Mad Bull

    First round was an easy win for the Rising Fighter as I struggled to get the power down on the DT03. 
    I am not sure it is set up correctly and if it is going to be back in future seasons then I need to spend some time out on the track tuning the chassis before 2024.

    So in what feels like an age since posting last years updates I will try and do a better job this season. You can see last years finale in the video below:


    This year is a slightly different format with all the cars going into a pot and being drawn out FA Cup style! We have a few new runners this year including a DF03, Cougar Classic, Thunder Dragon, Madcap/Astute hybrid and Kyosho Ultima. It really is a RC fleet my 10 year old self would be proud of!! See the draw for round 1 below:


    Then for those that are interested here is the track layout for 2023. The jump has gone (too many wrecks and repairs) and the track is close to the original loop now with some more technical chicanes through the middle section. Lots of bumps and undulations to unseat the cars like back in the day!

    Hope you enjoy following along with the action this year and I will attempt to keep everything posted here as we go. Who is your money on for 2023? My heart says Cougar or Madcap but my head says the TT02B will be hard to beat!

    I came home to a set of these diff housings in post waiting for me when I got in. They are little works of art! Look so much better than the original dull grey ones.

    As you'd expect, the modern grade aluminium is very light and strong, so much, much better than the original pot metal ones... which were made from tin I presume!😂

    They look amazing! Sounds like they run sweet too! I should probably get some for this rebuild now!!

    Pre order is down and this video has whet my appetite for this RC. Never owned a RB5 so I am looking forward to see what this chassis it like. I am a complete nutter for 2WD buggies so this is right in my zone.

    Roll on March!

    The price of track with shipping to the U.K is ridiculous, I've looked at buying tracks before but I fear the kids would get bored after a few laps, so had some excess cardboard lying around and the trusty hot glue gun, and we have a working 2 lane track!!!...

    Bravo! I have a few models on the way and looked into the track but shipping was unreal! I am going to do something similar so thanks for the inspiration 🙌🏻

    Towerhobbies just posted TT02 BR pre order listing for $251USD.

    So that is $100 cheaper than here in the UK! Out of interest how much would a standard Neo Scorcher kit be at Tower Hobbies in comparison?

    Neo - £129

    TT02BR - £314

    Very cool! Nice to see others hooked on running time trials and enjoy the layout of your post. Your on road track is neat!

    I ran a series on my YouTube channel last year on my backyard track and the TT02B came out on top also so I am pleased to see it doing well on your leaderboard. It doesn’t do too badly as a entry chassis and it can be hopped up for more performance.

    Surprised that the DT03 was able to get close to the XV01. I bet the average lap was more consistent on the XV chassis. It was the most consistent car on the Orchard Raceway last season over all my chassises.

    Keep up the great work 🙌🏻
