Just wanted to make sure as I didn't hear back from you. Wanted to make sure you weren't upset.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

Bormac - can I still call you that? :lol: This car is SO cool. I cannot wait to see some action shots of it also. I always thought that the 834bs looked clunky and primitive, they look like they don't have enough suspension to be of any use. BUT... I recently saw video of Tanaka San's 834b running on YouTube. It get's around really well... Hope the clunky and primitive comments are not offensive, that was just my opinion of how they looked, the video proves my assessment wrong though.

Here's a link for any who haven't seen it. Great soundtrack too! :D

Ofcourse you can still call me Bormac, no problems there.

I still need to paint the shell and wing and thats pretty much it. I have a pile of things on the go at the moment so this car has been sidelined till I have the time to get back into it and finish it properly.

I really like the car I have built and I think it would be ok out on the race track.
Thank you for the compliments.
Cheers- Jason (Bormac) :mrgreen:
