IFMAR off road worlds

[VintageMA]

I was looking at the D8 when the first prototype pics hit the web and it was looking like a very nice vehicle. If I didn't have a XB8EC already I would get a D8. I also have liked the D4 for a long time as well.

Let's be realistic guys - whether you are talking about 1:1 racing or 1:8 racing it all about the driver. Slow is fast and fast is all over the place.

I was at LimeRock race track in CT about a year ago with my TT and it was my first time. I was a total retard going around the track trying to drive the sh*t out of it. I was had a older 60s guy join me who had been driving that track for over 40 years and he got behind the steering wheel of my car and slammed my times by more than 10 seconds a lap and it felt like he was driving as slow as the turtle crossing the track that caused the black flag to come out at one point was going - but he was slow and smooth and I was, well, a retard.

My point is that there are about 5-6 strong brands out there for any particular model type and utimately it comes down to the driver and the conditions of the race.

Give a pro a Hyundai and he'll beat the snoot out of you in a V8 M3.

Tritium? You sure about that? Where did you get that information from?

You know what you're talking about? Tritium (3H) is a Hydrogen isotope... meta-stable at ambient conditions, decomposes into Helium over time... I don't see where/how it would find a place in RC... unless, of course, it's just some fancy brand name, not true Tritium.

Just curious

With the 2008 Worlds now past, not quite a distant memory but cherished by some, forgotten by others we look foward in time and ask Where will the 2008 Worlds be held ?

As per IFMAR, the World Championships will be held by FEMCA (Asia) pending their acceptance. As of last week, FEMCA had received 3 applications to host the words:
1. China (near Hong Kong)
2. Thailand (Pattaya)
3. Australia (Queensland)

FEMCA will make the decision within 6 weeks and IFMAR will make the final decision at their AGM in Thailand later this year. Stay tuned to Neo Buggy for more news.

God, I hope it is coming to Qld
