And a timeslip that say they are worth every penny-

( I clipped the pipe on lap 3 popping a ball stud, had to wait 2 laps for it to get fixed, ran the leader down two laps and came within 4 sec of winning anyway :wink: )

indeed... it might not be the shocks worth every penny, but more a case of worthless opponents :mrgreen:

The Durango proto 2wd looks absolutely awesome! Very jealous of anyone that's had it in their hands let alone anyone who owns one!

On a different note, could someone give me a center to center measurement of the newest B4.1 shocks please, front and rear, if possible measured without any spacers inside the shocks...? I would just measure them myself but my RC equipment and I are in different countries at the moment :( Thanks a bunch in advance! :mrgreen:

Finally got the 408 finished! So much work/life has gotten in the way of preparations for these cars it is driving me nuts. I swore I would never do a rushed 1 colour paint job - however in the interests of actually getting some track time before our Australian championships in a few weeks - I just did it. Hopefully I will get the time to do a decent shell for the titles. This will be only the second time I have raced at a big meeting with Nitro 1/8th buggy (Raced IC on road extensively) - I hope I can just keep it up the right way and make it to the Semi's - that would be a hell of an achievement to be honest.

Anyway - here she is in all her one colour Glory!! - a couple of sponsor decals and that's it - "test mule" shell for sure. Hopefully hitting the track tomorrow if the weather holds out.

Now - onto the 1/10th buggies, at least I dont have to set up brake linkages with these ones!! LOL

Cheers
